I now expect the typical remuneration of a scientist to rise sharply, to easily match the other, aforementioned professions. This is to properly reflect their new (and belatedly recognised) status.

I've been on a self-imposed news blackout since Christmas last in an attempt to improve my spiritual wellbeing. As such I missed all the fun in Japan.

Where are some excellent media of the tsunami and related incidences? I know I could search but I know you can point me to good sauces, too.

btw news blackouts do wonders for general mental health and work ethic. That time in the desert allegory was correct.

We didn't work on nuclear weapons?

True soviets care about environment. Motherland confident in tested soviet technology.

Our proposal is nuclear energy. Tupolevs manufactured by struggle of ingenious soviet /sci/entist throw 4 Tzar Bombas to capitalist pigs of America and problem no longer.

Here graph showing Soviet superiority of green energy to capitalist pigs jealous of socialist progress sabotaging glorious Chernobyl plant with ukranian traitors.

Such is environmentalism in Soviet Russia.

Nah, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosions were relatively weak compared to other nuclear bombs we've developed. No way either bomb could have leveled NYC. Also, I think there may be a difference between the method of delivery; explosion vs high velocity impact.
