AFAIK, the only thing you can learn from an entanglement is whether it is broken or not. If you see it broken, then you know the system has been compromised... a bit like sticking something across the crack of a door to see if/when someone attempts to walk in. It's use in securing systems is more akin to an alarm system than a messenger.

The subjects I peruse tend to not be contentious, so Wiki is reliable enough for me as a starting point. The references will indicate the level of research.

A system is an ensemble of components, physical or abstract, that have some causative relationship between them in the mind of the observer.

I don't think any sensible strategist would take out any leaders in this stage of potential hostilities. Killing a leader would create too many new geopolitical outcomes. We need hose-pipes, not flamethrowers.

Mod Note: Denigrating great discoverers with truthful labels that have such negative connotations, are banned forthwith.

As addictive as hard drugs. I've kicked smoking, drugs, but can I give up sugar... NO. As you say, it's very pervasive.

High fructose corn syrup is consumed in the US 50x more than in EU... 50 pounds vs 1 pound p.a. I wonder if there is a per capita correlation in the relative incidence of mortality related to obesity with that.

I remember watching a BBC2 university programme years ago that said wearing sunglasses without side shields was worse than not wearing them at all. It stated that the dark lenses cause the pupil to expand, thus increasing the angle of incidence for reflected light off the inside of the lenses to reach the retina. In bright, snowy environs the risk is significantly higher for uv exposure to the eyes.

Dimethylmercury doesn't have many uses because of its toxicity. It can pass through layers of protective gloves. Scientist Karen Wetterhahn was a killed by it. IIRC handling protocols were changed after her death.

I recently re-joined Facebook and have been doom-scrolling endless animal videos by amateurs, and I have to say that there's more to many animals than meets the eye. Animals are not robots, completely driven by instinct.

And it can only multiply.

A sudden sharp transient would be harder on the ear drum, I would have thought.... like a shotgun.

165dB seems to be the starting point. 115-120db is where it will probably start hurting

Also 10Kg of it at about $4000/g.

When the input signal is too low or confusing, the brain will make something up. That's how pareidolia works.

Aye, but most politicians don't totally focus on that sector.

He is firmly latched onto those that are less able cognitively and materially. Trump is totally a bottom drawer person... as we all know.

Funding TFG's legal needs and the election will probably finish them off. These issues are a billion dollars each on there own. Unless someone throws a billion their or his way.

Why do people get antsy about stuff. Nobody creates in a vacuum.

Just looked, it hasn't been available since Safari 13. Adlock has been described as similar. Maybe worth a look?

uBlock Origin is available for most platforms. Look in settings as well for more blocks. Ive used it for years.

It's looking like the UK may well turn left this election.
