Which Bond film is this again? I mean, in my defence I've only watched most of them during wakeathons, and so have only the haziest recollections

I was going to tell you that your link is broken but after looking at the source code I figured out the problem: there's an extraneous space in your bbcode between "url=" and the actual URL.
Fixed that in the original post. I tried to fix it last night but missed that small detail; thanks for catching it, Raven.
That's not great but it's not terrible either.
1.4 millisieverts a day isn't really that much.

Radiation Levels on the Moon Are Alarmingly High
So we have to be on guard against a ridiculously-small explosion blasting the Moon out of orbit?
I would be. I mean, can the conservation of momentum really be trusted, or is that yet another hoax like vaccines?

OOC: To be honest, I wish we did things the way the Japanese do. Their smallest bills are for 1,000 Yen, and they have 500 Yen and 100 Yen coins - both of which vending machines happily accept. (Many also accept 1,000 Yen bills, but you won't always get a 500 Yen coin back as change. Usually it'll be 100 Yen coins.)
(looks from across the border, where any defeat of a spending bill triggers an immediate general election) Haven't you folks solved that pesky budget issue yet?
And there's a flaw in the proposal: Who's going to buy the $1trillion coin (or accept it as payment) in order for the government to get the
seigniorage to spend on the budget?
Even Mark Twain knew how difficult that would be, and he was working with an amount three orders of magnitude smaller than that, adjusted for inflation.
(At least we can sell
$1million coins... and it looks like Lupin
got one of those, too.)
Lupin steals lots of impossible-to-fence items, though not on the same scale as Carmen Sandiego. A lot of it he just collects, as he’s a man of taste. That $1M coin stolen in March 2017 was Lupin, but Fujiko got away with it in the end.
Also, Rob misunderstands our fine and elegant system of government. The budget bills have already passed, it’s just that Congress refuses to fund the debt incurred to pay for its budgets.

No, no, no - it's espers who have their own Personal Reality, not mages.
Not the in World of Darkness.
Yeah, I'm starting to suspect Rob is part of the Technocracy.
