I always wondered where and how my country would test nukes if it developed them. Basically there is an expectation that you have to explode at least one. It was much easier in colonial times when everyone owned a desert or remote island

When I was a child I saw Blade Runner. Ever since that day I've had a weakness for concrete jungles. Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai- that's how humans were intended to live. Unfortunately my European brothers and sisters prefer to liv

The economy of the DDR was a basket case. It was the USSR that did them in when the Soviets stopped selling them oil and gas for cheap in the 1970s. Moscow was surprisingly capitalist. They noticed they could sell their resources to the Wes

Anything with a microphone in it can be used to spy on you. I always found that talking to computers is incredible stupid and only looks good in Star Trek. But I am apparently the minority in this because every car, phone and television has
