Heh, over 2,000 km away from Irish grandfather and I still can't escape his five hour talk about Clonmel's Tidy Towns result.

Who taught the 80 year old to text, I'm both grateful that I don't have to sit through an hours long phone call yet devastated I can't really use work as an excuse over texts.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.
