I get that way after 2ish weeks of time off. I need about that much time to fully decompress from work, but after that I start wanting to do something with myself.

Seems silly to call it a security issue when the bulk of the day to day activities for many state department employees is working closely with local nationals. Do you really want to make your average Ugandan caterer make an international c

It makes more money for the artist . The promoter generally pays a fixed fee to the artist to play, rents a venue, and bears the risk on ticket sales. The band has to pay the road crew, etc. and pay for food and buses, and what have you.

The Seven Years War was a truly global war with fighting in North America, the Caribbean, and India in addition to Europe. It was even kicked off by a young George Washington. It definitely gets my vote as the first truly global war.

In general that's true, but in this particular case I'm not sure it follows. This is a very infrequent occurrence, which is why it made the news. From a societal perspective, further investment in security here is probably a net

Half-life and danger from the emitted radiation are inversely correlated. Decay is the thing that emits radiation, so if that takes forever, it's not emitting much per second.
