On Bluesky someone posted a picture purporting to show that the Bondi shooter is actually a Jewish person from Israel. I found a Daily Mail image of the shooter on the bridge, named as Naveed Akram and they seem to be the same person. What are your thoughts? The social media page of David Cohen has apparently vanished. I putthe two images together for comparison.

Courage is acting in the face of some adversity, contrary to ones usual behaviour because it may overcome a personal problem or aid another that is in distress.

I occasionally cut/prune trees down. Most people grossly underestimate the forces in a tree, its mass and gravity. Once a tree starts falling down, you have no recourse at all if it goes down in the wrong direction.

It might be a consequence of morphological changes due to things like hormonal changes, and the rest of the face getting smaller around it. It could be a non-functional byproduct of other processes. That's one hypothesis I've read about.

Yes, colonic cells feed off them.

Speed cameras are 1/1000sec or better. Some new photo cameras can do 1/32000sec. The cameras calculate exposure parameters based on vehicle speed and lighting conditions. I think radar data is integrated into the exposure formula.

Two different dogs in that vid. Probably AI BS.

If you look at it turned upside down and screen placed horizontally, it looks like a raised pyramid, blocking the dog's way.

To add: Eating cooled potatoes, which forms some resistant starch, reduced digestible calories by 10%. I think that's a useful reduction.

@sethoflagos AFAIK resistant starch is food for the gut biota. We can't use it directly.

When you buy pc components, they often come in gaseously-impervious, metallized plastic bags. That's what you need for archival storage. Formic, acetic, sulphuric, sulphurous, nitric, and others. The only paper material I now that is finished acid-free are museum-quality art papers, boards, and probably boxes,

Cool stuff!

Cheers. What sort of duration range might that come into effect? Is it hypothesized? Would Planck time be a limit?

Cheers. Will have a look.

We measure time in discrete steps, but it's actually continuous i.e undivided, or smoothly progressive.

Yes, I've read this too, but I'm just leaving it at ambient 16-20c and experiencing the different tastes. I started the culture pretty warm - 28-30c - with a beer warming mat to get the population up quickly, so that the undesirable micros didn't get a chance to dominate. I had an issue that put me bordering on diarrhoea and I surmised it might be down to an incomplete gut biota, such that my gut lining was somewhat inflamed. The body thinks it's being attacked, so, as a result of the inflammation, which is protective, the fluid absorption was compromised, leading to watery stools. Everything seems to be normal now. The underlying reason, I guessed, was I don't eat enough fresh food to keep the biota maintained and this seems to have fixed it, I think. I still have to address my overall diet though. I've come to realize that veg variety is not just about vitamins, fibre and minerals, but also inoculating the gut lining regularly with diverse microbiota. Being in my mid-sixties now, my body complains much more about not eating properly. I'm trying to halve my consumption as well because I don't need it... the evidence is in my expanding belly!

25-30g in 750ml gin. Some go to 50g/750ml. Slightly crush to rupture the skins.

DNA can't replicate perfectly for all time in an organism. Even without external agents, it will degrade eventually, to lethal effect.

Re my entrance into milk kefir making. I'm sold. Man, is it sour and fizzy! I think it's still stabilising as it's gone from sour, cheesy, creamy to a cleaner, sour/semi-fizzy taste and mouth feel. Going to try water kefir next. I've got this milk kefir on a daily routine now.

Right. Missed that. I ask myself: Why try so hard to find a difference between ethnic groups when the only motive, I can think of, is to create division and conflict. All this effort when the noise floor clearly exceeds the level of the signal.

As for general intelligence being fixed, the OP has not considered neuroplasticity.

It's going to be a whole new learning curve.

It should be the car manufacturer, just as if any part failed not due to the driver's incompetence or negligence. If the owner fails to follow mandated protocols in their vehicle's upkeep, then they are liable. It is a sticky one with grey areas, I think, with some not thought of or encountered yet.

It's just a fantasy, then.
