Notes
  1. 60-minute ESPN documentary film about the United States Football League.

gollark: It's weird that people worry about nuclear waste because it'll still be vaguely dangerous in a few tens of thousands of years (who cares, really? We cannot accurately predict anything that far out) but not very much about arbitrary chemical waste with no halflife.
gollark: And rocket launch is probably less safe than just burying it underground forever, there is not actually that much, especially with better reprocessing.
gollark: We have! The issues which happened previously would *not* happen in any recent good plant!
gollark: Yes, people are terrible and unable to comprehend risk sanely.
gollark: And organizations also develop the subgoal of perpetuating themselves over time.

  32. Lazare, Lewis (May 20, 2004). "Check-card spot cashes in with Trump". Chicago Sun-Times. p. 65. Trump leans over the edge of the tower to watch his card plummet to earth and lets out a funny "uh-oh." As a voiceover explains that Visa check-card holders aren't responsible for unauthorized purchases -- a fact we're supposed to believe Trump has no knowledge of -- the television star and real estate mogul makes his way to the street, where we next see him bent over the bin frantically searching for the card -- an amusing image indeed, given the Trump persona we now know so well.
