Fair enough. But your proposed idea of applying just lime powder will not be fungicidal. You need the Cu for that which, as I say, is the key ingredient in Bx mixture for its intended application, in vineyards.

But there is a real, scientifically based health threat to at least some of their customers. That was explained in the thread. Legal liability, in this case at least, is not disconnected from scientific reality.

Ah, I see, thanks. I suspect @grzegorzsz830402 thinks they are actual observed timing errors in orbit.

I notice @grzegorzsz830402 repeatedly quotes some numbers, without providing a link to where they come from, viz: Orbit Gain in ns/day: Cesium: +10 Hz → +93.916 ns/day. Rubidium: +10 Hz → +126.403 ns/day. Maser: +10 Hz → +608.342 ns/day. I'm not an expert on GPS. Does anyone recognise these numbers and can they explain what they signify? This seems to be important to his idea that different types of atomic clock acquire different errors in orbit. I feel that if we can address this, the issue may be solved. Perhaps @grzegorzsz830402 can provide links to the source or sources?

Then your previous post means what?

The Big Bong? 😎

Don’t be a jerk. The issue has been explained to you. The precaution of recalling the product is perfectly sensible as there is a risk, to immunocompromised users of the product, if to no one else.

When I don't qualify it I mean natural science, as most people do. I said nothing about double blind by the way. I meant what I said.

I don’t. But then I don’t feel I have to just pull something out of my arse to fill the gap.

There is also an attack on law firms who have represented causes or individuals that have displeased Trump. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/27/politics/law-firms-trump-attacks/index.html Security clearances are to be revoked, hamstringing their ability to carry out certain kinds of work, they are to be denied access to federal buildings. Government work is to be denied even to the clients of these law firms, forcing them to change their lawyers to another firm, to avoid losing government business. This is transparently an attempt to intimidate the legal profession, so that nobody who mounts any sort of legal challenge to Trump can get legal representation.

Science requires reproducible evidence, that is, evidence obtainable by more than one observer, in more than one observational setup. That precludes experiences unique to an individual from being scientific evidence. So they cannot be considered part of a scientific "test".

What pompous ballocks. Even the first line is meaningless. How can "everything from 1 void" be a mathematical statement? And it just gets worse from there on.

Oh yes I'd seen that. Vance claimed the EU depended on the Suez Canal for 40% of its trade, or something, whereas for the USA it is 3%, according to him. But as no one seems to have asked for this action, why should Vance imagine Europe might pay for it?

You may be right but then why drag Europe into the logic? And why this talk of making Europe pay for it? Just seen a headline saying the CIA director has stated Hegseth was not drunk when he ordered the airstrikes. This gets funnier and funnier. 🐐🎪

Slightly tangentially to the above, I remain a bit puzzled why Vance was getting so hot under the collar at the thought the USA was fighting Europe's war for them with these attacks on the Houthis. I gather there was even discussion about making Europe pay for the operation. But so far as I am aware, there is no suggestion that anyone in Europe asked for these attacks to be carried out. On the contrary, it seems to have been entirely an American initiative - possibly as a way to signal (haha) willingness to fight a proxy war with Iran. So on what basis would Europe pay for an action they never requested and which might actually blow back to hurt their interests? I can't follow the logic. Is there some background to this that I am missing, or is it just the fascist vein in Vance's neck throbbing again?

Goldberg has published the transcript in The Atlantic, hahaha. They had it coming, after trying to trash the guy. Watch them wriggle😁.

You may be overthinking this a bit. I sympathise, but that's what "flooding the zone with shit" is intended to do to people, so that they have no idea what to make of anything and give up trying to follow it all. The Kremlin does this. I think it went like this. Consider: this bunch of goons has the mindset that all the systems and procedures they have inherited are the cumbersome, bureaucratic and needlessly costly products of a bloated civil service. Consequently, seeing themselves as breath-of-fresh-air iconoclasts, I suspect they thought this is all balls, there are perfectly good commercial encrypted messaging services, so why bother with rules that say we have to use this state-developed[boo hiss] secret squirrel system, we'll just use Signal from now on. And so they did........ BOOM!! 😁 I was very much amused by Waltz preposterously suggesting that Goldberg had deliberately got his phone number into Waltz's address book (how?) and saying he would have to "consult Elon" about how to stop this happening again. What cock! The solution is, er.............to use the special secure system that already exists and whose use is, er, in fact mandated by the current regulations they saw fit to ignore. Waltz's performance put me in mind of particularly unconvincing schoolboy with the feeblest of "dog ate my homework" excuses. Mind you, I think Goldberg might want to make sure his tax affairs are in good shape and that he doesn't get so much as a speeding fine for the next few months. These people now control everything and are extremely vindictive, with the object of scaring everyone into not probing what they are up to.

Well it's obvious. This administration has good connections with Putin and happily repeats all the Kremlin's talking points. Furthermore the administration is extremely hostile to Europe, so the US and Russia have a common enemy.

But the Russians are now the allies of the US, so why does this matter?

No, he is forcing his "view", on many things that did not feature in his election campaign, on the citizens, by order. There are laws that prevent Trump doing some of the things he has ordered to be done. But he is ignoring them. I have told you this.

Now you are changing your ground. You said he was expressing a view, when he was issuing an order. So you were presenting it as a free speech issue, when it was nothing of the kind. Now, you are claiming he has a mandate from the people to issue these orders, which is an entirely different matter. On that question, in many of the orders he does not have that mandate, since he is exceeding the power of the president under the constitution. He was elected under the constitution, which designates separate and independent powers for the president, Congress and the judiciary. Some ofTrump’s orders usurp the power of Congress and others usurp the power of the courts. Trump is destroying the constitution and replacing it with a dictatorship. If you know any history you will see that what is going on is a classic “soft coup”, whereby after being elected, the ruler dismantles the constitutional checks on his power and rules by diktat, reinforced by fear. To change the constitution in accordance with the constitution, one needs a 2/3 majority of Congress. Trump is ignoring all that, just issuing orders and daring anyone to stand in his way. It’s a fascist coup.

This about Trump is pretty silly of you because he is not just “expressing his view”.He is issuing executive orders that force people to do, or to stop doing, certain things.

What an extraordinary example of lazy false equivalence. The principle of proportionality is well-established in both domestic and international law and was quite clearly adhered to in the case illustrated in your picture.
