How might they do that under such overwhelming force?

Do you think it would secure democracy better if there were 13 judges on the SC? It would be packing it now, but only by one judge in ratio terms? Doing that would rebalance the difference and possibly make pulling McConnell's stunt of engineering it full of Conservatives more difficult in the future.

I feel the approach of the OPs is too focussed and unjustifiably evangelistic for the actual state of current knowledge in this area. I like this area of research, which I think is still in a high state of flux. Promoting specific therapies in that environment of uncertainty is not a good idea. It looks promising, but saying that does not mean it's practically useful now.

As SpaceX failures shows we don't even have the ability to get any significant equipment that far. It is not trivial.

Even if you were given a FMT with a suitable profile, will your dietary habits and its composition preserve what has been put there medically in the long term? Are you eating additives that harm your intestinal flora, and you need to provide the right foods (prebiotics) so that the bacteria you have can do their job feeding the gut cells with low molecular fatty acids and maintaining overall gut homeostasis.

Happen a lot here, doesn't it? We shoot off the conversational starting blocks without defining our terms first.

OK.

The real sad news is that he left quietly without resistance instead of getting sacked and making a noise as he was evicted. Walking out is not an act of rebellion but rather is an act of submission. People are collectively opening the door to authoritarianism with these collective acts of resignation.

So am I. At they are doing their best to eliminate all possibilities before blaming the pilots.

52% of 999 calls are for police, 45% for ambulance and only 3% for the fire service.

Here's a bit from a Telegraph article that may eventually eliminate the pilots as the cause: "Indian media, however, reported that investigators were examining potential electrical and digital faults that could have triggered “uncommanded” actions. “The probe will ascertain the possibility of an ‘uncommanded transition’ of the fuel control switches to the cut-off mode seconds after the lift-off,” an official aware of the investigation was reported to have said. Just hours before take-off, a pilot flying the same aircraft from Delhi to Ahmedabad noted in the technical log a “stabiliser position transducer defect”, the newspaper said. The stabiliser position transducer is a sensor that controls the up and down movement of the aircraft’s nose, and transmits the data to flight control systems. The official said the malfunction was checked and the engineer did the troubleshooting. “The malfunction is a critical issue as it can trigger incorrect responses in flight control, including unintended fuel cut-off signal,” the official was quoted as saying. There had been at least two more similar incidents on the aircraft in the weeks before the crash, the newspaper said."

On the 25th of July the UK introduces a law that requires 18+ sites to verify the identity and age of users before accessing them. Info from BBC site: How will age verification for porn work and what about privacy? How effective is this going to be in filtering young people out? Will it drive them to non-compliant sites containing blatantly illegal material and ideas... and as a byproduct automatically turn them into criminals? Will they use IP spoofers, vpn's and other masking technologies to get around them? How savvy are today's teenagers with this technology, and what is the likelihood of it working when IT security staff can't keep 17-19 year olds out of the customer data of major UK shops? My opinion is that this will have the same long-term social consequences as the substance misuse laws. It will likely drive impressionable minds in the wrong direction and consume material and information they might not have otherwise seen. When has banning ever worked when there exists so many consumers of a product or activity? I've always felt one cannot effectively enforce a law that does not have the natural consent of the majority of a country's population.

Can you meaningfully discuss bridge design, beyond aesthetics, without knowing the physical principles underpinning good design and the maths to to describe them? You can't have a theory worth discussing until you have in-depth knowledge of the existing theories. What you are wanting to discuss is 'make stuff up' without any bearing on what is already known. You can't do that in meaningful scientific discussion.

I think they arise out of the vacuum field, which is not 'nothing'. This is the field that has the lowest possible energy level, where things Virtual particles and their perturbations) only exist for fleeting moments and then disappear. I think the Casimir Effect is one piece of evidence of its existence.

@FloridaManPhysics I think it is more straightforward to understand a field as a region in space where a force has influence. It quantitatively describes the magnitude and distribution of its influence. As was mentioned here once: it is a map (description) of the territory, but not the territory itself.

Right. Yeah, if something is muscle memorized, the conscious brain is likely not engaged to that task.

If they are really knackered, I suppose that could happen. I think adding to flight protocol a rule that touching critical functions requires an explicit verbal declaration of ones intent and subsequent consent of the co-pilot before proceeding. Saying this, I think they do already before and on take off. I saw a YT video of two airline pilots verbally going through the motions of taking off prior to proceeding with an action.

It suggests to me the one who responded was lying about not turning them off. In the absence of poltergeists, I can't see any other explanation.

Right.

Does the software have this option?: Honeypot Fields: Creating hidden fields on registration forms that are invisible to humans but are easily filled by bots can trap spammers. @swansont What would slowing down captcha and registration do? You mean if the inputs are entered sooner than a certain time because machines are quicker?

Here's picture of the fuel switch layout:

I think so.

Right, thanks.

Is part of the evidence for superposition that entangled particles are never found in similar states when their wavefunction is collapsed? Does it follow that If they weren't connected, we would expect to see some statistical frequency of similarity of states as well?
