Splendor

The military is full of young people who grew up in poverty. It might be good for national security if more of them didn't have nutritional deficiencies. They aren't separate issues.

A quick search turned up this one that claims to have 12 strains of bacteria. It is also USP verified. I'm not an expert and have never tried it, but hopefully that info helps.

> ...a researcher reported last week at a microbiology meeting in Washington, D.C.

Am I missing it or is this all we are given as a source for the claim in the headline? Not even a name?

It's interesting how this court consistently rules to limit the power of government when it is acting against corporations but happily expands the power of government when it is being wielded against people.

Luckily 99% of abortions don't fall into that category.

You realize you said this in your previous comment right?

> ...and corrupt politicians are preventing that transition.

Nope. You completely misunderstand the pro-choice argument. You can believe life begins at conception and still believe it's wrong to force a woman to carry a fetus to term.

There may not have been significant moves in the last 50 years, but the majority remains pro-choice.

I see. I should've quoted the bit I was replying to.

They said:

> Do it in the middle of a desert far away from any people. No NIMBYs, not interesting for attacks.

And I was just pointing out that building it in the middle of the desert has not proven to be a good way of avoiding opposition.

I don't remember saying it was. Did you reply to the wrong comment?

So the government is both promoting the lie and preventing the transition?

Let me introduce you to Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. Even the middle of the desert is not safe from NIMBYs.

For synthesizers and other music gear, there's loopop on YouTube. His reviews are so in-depth that they can often function as replacements for the product's user manual.

I'm glad you weren't able to dissuade Nobuyuki Tsujii.

Maybe this is just a sign of working in a technical field for too long, but my mind always jumps to counterexamples first. So I was surprised they didn't even acknowledge the existence of blind musicians.

Semi related, I recently watched these videos of Benn Jordan's field recording adventures and enjoyed them a lot.

You couldn't be more wrong.

> While I have some criticisms, most of the historical facts are correct. There are places where I could nitpick, but most of the facts are solid. I think the problems with the articles are in tone and in conclusions.

The softest of takedowns.

> In 1978, the ACLU succcessfully [sic] defended the right of neo-Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois, a community populated by Holocaust survivors. But in 2018, following the ACLU’s successful litigation to obtain a permit for white supremacists to march in Charlottesville, Virginia, which ended in death and disaster, the ACLU issued new guidelines. Citing concerns about “limited resources” and “the potential effect on marginalized groups,” the organization cautioned its lawyers to take special care when considering whether to represent groups whose “values are contrary to our values.”

First off. A professor writes a mere 1,000 word article for a major publication and it has typos. Yikes.

Second, the author points to action the ACLU took to defend the right of white supremacists to march in Charlottesville in 2018 and then tries to say they've changed position but doesn't demonstrate that with any proof of similar action or inaction -- just words. IMO actions are more important than words and if the ACLU's actions are still in line with the mission you say you agree with, this is much ado about nada.

Same here. I've had an account since 2007. This will be the thing that nudges me far enough to delete my account.

> What in the world could this person contribute?

Easily more than you're contributing to this conversation.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but these two videos discuss the results of a Fermilab experiment that hints at a crack in the standard model.

There's no need. He knows how he's going to vote before any arguments are given.

> There are more interesting and less implausible hypotheses out there than the "just so" dark matter one.

I'd love to hear about all of the less implausible hypotheses you're referring to.

The description reminds me of the Lyra-8 by Soma Laboratory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8od1a1mySU

Do you have a source for that claim or are you speculating? If existing officers fled as you suggest they appear to have been easily replaced.

According to the chief in November, 2021 there were 1,015 deployable officers[0]. As of today, there are 1,325[1].

I believe they might be. I also believe they might not be. In that situation I find it best to fall back on the verifiable facts of the situation. I understand not everyone has the same standard for verifying information and you are of course welcome to make your own conclusion.

With respect, I prefer to ignore anecdotal explanations that conveniently lack the ability to be verified. But thanks for adding your perspective.
