There’s only one way to solve all diseases.

Did they test this on Mars first?

It’s the politicians who are striving for a classroom where not everyone is equal.

Although, teachers probably consider themselves more equal than their students.

“Eventually the world will become uninhabitable and the ceasefire will hold.”

“He had a camera and was shooting everyone in sight! We had to neutralize him as he as dressed like a Vuarnet ad from the 90s!”

Isn’t there also shorthand where you just write the base components and people understand what you mean because even though the radicals are missing, the core meaning of the glyph is still close enough?

The difference is that the shorthand isn’t based on phonetics but on the core meaning of the calligraphic strokes.

It’s why Japanese writers can communicate with Cantonese speakers through quick strokes on their palms. The radicals are all different but the base components are the same.

Similar to a German person stripping back words to core syllables.

Heigh ho, heigh ho, into deep space we go….

I like yours better.

Wait a minute… on earth, aren’t carbonates formed by sedimentary deposits of bio-concentrated carbon? Where did the carbonates come from on Mars?

Remember that the Afghan Taliban isn’t simple either.

Because Apple isn’t stupid. There’s no money in being an ISP unless you’re willing to do things Apple doesn’t want to be perceived as doing.

Apple had eWorld — that was their last foray into being an ISP, and is likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Most major content producers have agreements with YouTube such that as their content is discovered, monetization all goes to the rights holders. In general, this seems like a pretty good idea, and better than copyright maximalism.

However, I’ve had original works of my own “monetized by rights holder” because they used my work (with permission) in one of their products, and so now have co-opted all expressions of my work on YouTube. So the system isn’t perfect.

Magnets that power these facilities are imperfect, and even tiny fluctuations in magnetism can cause resonance.

Thing is, it’s not even limited to the magnets. As the energies go up, things like global gravitational flux and even changes in mass near the accelerator will affect the particle’s path. If this happens over time in line with a resonant frequency, you can get the double bounce effect.

I wasn’t able to tell how much of this they’re currently accounting for with their model, or if they are only factoring in the known magnetic imperfections.

Instead we’re stuck listening to Vogon poetry.

The complaint itself is disheartening, but isn’t necessarily about it being an indigenous flag; if the strata has a rule against hanging flags from balconies, it could just be that the strata didn’t know about the flag law, and someone didn’t like it in general (and would have complained no matter what flag it was).

Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.

Isn’t a party just a coordinated mass candidacy?

I presume they mean in a single riding, but still….

Er, I think they mean “Scientists aboard Great Lakes research vessel discover new life” don’t they?

The goo wasn’t really on board; it was on rudder.

Well, the thing about being a criminal is that it means you’ve been convicted of a crime.

Trump is a criminal. But he was born in the US to US citizens.

The goal is to make all sorts of things crimes such that it’s almost impossible to function in the US as a foreigner without committing a crime. At that point, the government can choose the people to deport at their whim.

Since birthright citizenship is being struck down, and this government interprets the constitution as only applicable to citizens, expect Trump to attempt again to pass legislation for more types of citizenship nullification.

One tricky bit is, if you’re declared legally dead, you immediately become an illegal resident if you’re still alive. And DOGE has already declared a number of people dead by misinterpreting a few databases.

Why not both?

Reality is complicated. Things like our GI system are very complicated, with many different things that can go wrong.

Think about the question “what would happen if you filled a kiddie pool over the maximum capacity? Would it leak over the top, or would the sides collapse?”

Your immediate answer would probably be “well, that would depend on the pool.”

Likewise, in this case, it would depend on the person.

It really is a case of projection, isn’t it?

This reminded me of all the Republican rallying cries against “cancel culture” around removing monuments to not-that-great men and people refusing to spend time on sites whose core values they disagreed with.

And now we’ve moved to these same people removing any reference to actual heroes of history if they happen to have not been successful white heterosexual men.

Cancel culture indeed.

I see most kids under 10 wearing a bicycle helmet. Of course, kids under 10 shouldn’t be riding these, as they’re designed to carry heavier loads.

Anyone 16 or older? It grabs my attention if they ARE wearing a helmet.
