It was good to meet MIKINAMAN after all this time, shame about the circumstances :-( Also met GND for the first time , likewise good to put a face to a name, but unsurprisingly didn't get to talk very much. I'd also be interested to know if there were any other Bushwhackers there 'incognito'?
Charlie Munger has died at the age of 99.
Blueboy28, I did gas duct and bellows inspection on Berkeley the year before its closure, two outages at Dungeness A on gas duct and bellows cruciform inspection, Hinkley Point A heat exchanger thickness checks and a stint of gas duct inspection at Trawsfynydd in 1984. So I also fit the "real job" category. I am now retired but drive lorries in my spare time. Also a "real job" IMHO...

QA/QC was my business.

Particularly noteworthy is "The cost fractions of different types of power plants (along with their technological capabilities) shape the way they’re used. Because electricity can’t be cheaply stored, at any given moment electricity produced and electricity consumed must balance."
I admit to a particular interest in nuclear power - I spent a few of my formative years in the nuclear power industry.
