It is best to leave these people alone, because they are dangerous, in the sense that they believe without question, and are irrational unstable pitiful lemmings.
Thankfully for many people, not everybody has the same view as you do.
QuoteThe Salvation Army (TSA) is a Christian church and an international charitable organisation. The organisation reports a worldwide membership of over 1.7 million,[3]consisting of soldiers, officers and adherents collectively known as Salvationists. Its founders sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and hungry by meeting both their "physical and spiritual needs". It is present in 131 countries,[4] running charity shops, operating shelters for the homeless and disaster relief, and humanitarian aid to developing countries.

Quote"The radiation of the Moon is between two and three times higher than what you have on the ISS (International Space Station)," co-author Robert Wimmer-Schweingruber, an astrophysicist at the University of Kiel told AFP."
...So that limits your stay to approximately two months on the surface of the Moon," he added, once the radiation exposure from the roughly week-long journey there, and week back, is taken into account.

Have you seen such a label in a restaurant?
Ask if your concerned. Its not rocket science.

If the FTA gets rid of the labels, then there is no ability to discriminate.
If people are so concerned about not buying American food, then there will be incentive for food manufacturers who use better food practices to advertise it on their product. Like they already do with organic or corn fed etc...

The issue is also about labelling.
Why wouldn't it have country of origin written on it. Every item of food I buy has this. If people don't trust American food then they can choose something else. It's not hard to buy good quality food.

If people cared about animal welfare as much as they say they do, they wouldn't buy half the food they do.

If there is no trade deal, one advantage would be further delay in being stuck with US food and agricultural standards and practices, I don't wish to adopt.
Why? I don't see what the problem is. From what I've heard, it'll be the cheaper stuff anyway(chlorinated chicken), just don't buy it if you don't like it. With so many people experiencing food poverty in the U.K. cheaper food will help a lot of people.
It makes me laugh, the amount of people I know who criticize American food, but will sit there dribbling while watching mans Vs food. 😂
Yum.

Photons are only a model created to fill our incomprehension. We do not know what light actually is. We create models based on our analysis. And analysis on light showed us something we cant really understand so we called it photons. Dont be a fool, create new models come on.
How is this news? Should be in speculations or trash.

- They do not 'headline' the possible evidence for life - the title speaks of the detection of phosphine
- They refer in the abstract to the apparent presence of phosphine.
- They detaill the abiotic routes to phosphine they have eliminated and note that a biotic source is suggested through analogy with its terrestrial production, not via any demonstrable pathway.
- They searched carefully all current databases for other possible chemical species that might have been responsible for the transition signature.
- They discuss at some length within the paper and the supplementary material what abiotic processes they have considered and why they have rejected them.
- They caution that other phosphene transitions should be sought in order to solidfy or disprove their belief that phosphene is responsible
- They note that "Even if confirmed, we emphasize that the detection of PH3 is not robust evidence for life, only for anomalous and unexplained chemistry."
Off topic, but this is brilliant.
As someone who has a habit of posting news with sensationalist articles, this a great pointer for what to look for.

I just can't believe why Trump is still in office right now with so many issues plauging US right now.
It's a moment in time, that's all. Every country has ups and downs, Europe isn't a bed of roses either at the moment. Hopefully future gernerations will look back and comment on the changes in society that came about, and how much better off people were because of it.

Even if you manage to get a decent degree you are still faced with the challenge of not coming across as a troglodyte during job interviews, and actually performing well if you are hired.
If A.I reaches its full potential the same could be said even if your in the top ten percent.
The problem I see with giving people money, is that it's unlikely to be anything more than the minimum you need to survive. Most people would be living on the poverty line. If you try to earn a little more they'll just deduct it from your next payment.
I agree with a universal basic income, but it needs to be more than just a cheque every two weeks. I've no idea what though.
Also when people say everyone, does that include the wealthy? Not sure I agree with that, complete waste of money.

Scientists at Osaka University use extremely intense laser pulses to create magnetized-plasma conditions comparable to those surrounding a black hole, study that may help explain the still mysterious X-rays that can be emitted from some celestial bodies.

Is it not possible to go back into education?
Are there other ways to get research experience outside of college without being employed?
Don't give up. Good luck.

Three lads are hiding as stowaways on a ship that has suffered apparent terminal damage upon a reef, and after considering their options they decide to jump ship and swim to the nearest island using safety equipment they just happened to stumble upon.
The beach that they landed on was beautiful and so was the island which looked just like the picture post-card tropical type.
Feeling euphoric, they quickly decided to explore their newly found paradise only to stumble upon a tribe of fierce-looking natives.
They quickly succumbed to the overwhelming armed numbers and were led back to the village where they were to be taken before the leader of the tribe.
The leader was a harsh fellow, but he was also a fair leader. He shouted to the three guys that his tribe did not allow any sort of incursion, but if they could find 5 nuts each they would be allowed to build their own boat to sail away.
They agreed to these terms and ventured into the undergrowth.
After a couple of hours, the first one returned to the assembled villagers
and chief where he was asked to show the nuts that he had found.
The chief congratulated him, but then explained that he would need to insert these nuts into his anus and hold them there for a count of 100. This was the second and final part of the task. If he succeeded he would gain his freedom.
It took a while to insert the first nut, he also found it an embarrassing exercise in front of the whole tribe, but gradually he carried on inserting, finding it easier as he went.
Upon completion he then stood with his arms raised in triumph and with the count in the high eighties when he suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter. It was then that he farted and lost the peanuts.
Immediately he was carted away, tied to a post and had all sorts of combustibles placed around him. The chief reappeared carrying a burning torch and headed for the pyre.
Before ignition and being a curious chief he asked the chap, "Why when he was so close to completion did he burst into laughter and lose his peanuts"?
The reply was," The other two went looking for coconuts".

Something I posted in the 'what are you listening to right now' thread.
Edit: Just to note, the above video isn't posted with humour in mind. It just something I thought was appropriate given the thread title, and the fact people were discussing it.
Edit 2: really sorry if I've offended anyone with this. I found the film really moving, and I'll admit, fascinating too. I don't think the film is made with bad intentions.

Cool photo. Love the way you can see the different colours of the light.
Was this taken with a normal camera facing the flag or did you have to adjust any settings?

It looks very much like the answer to the question "Which language has most words" is "it depends"
If we go off the amount of words in dictionaries it's Korean, 1,100,373 words.
Ingush has only 11,142 words.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dictionaries_by_number_of_words
Quite interesting: Toki Pona, 123 root words, 14 phonemes. 🙂
