Because such a system wouldn't work in the winter. New homes in West London would almost certainly be in the form of multi story apartment building; so there wouldn't be enough free surface area to install solar panels to collect enough energy even if there was enough sunlight.
Experiencing fear can be traumatic, but it's only by experiencing it that we can lead to deal with it. There is a lot of talk about PTSD now days, which can lead us to thinking that all trauma is bad; but normally results in post traumatic growth, which makes us more resilient.
I don't have the original source but I read about a double bind test of one of the COVID-19 vaccine side effects. Only half of the test subjects received the vaccine (the other saline), but something like two thirds of the test subjects reported side effects. There isn't any doubt that long COVID is real, but it's more than likely that many of the people that report symptoms don't actually have it. There has been so much talk about long COVID in the media, that people expect to have it; so the media is working as a nocebo.
The difference is that guns are literally deigned for killing people. There are nonlethal alternatives, so when people buy guns (the exception being hunting) the purpose it to be able to kill someone.
Language naturally evolve over time in a way which allows efficient communication, so it's not something which should be controlled. The simpler a language is the greater number of people it will be able to be understood by.
The whole purpose of any language is facilitate communication between people. I would argue that the quality and usefulness of English has increased over time, as it would be very difficult to use English from even 100 years ago in conversation today, as it would lack the words to express every day topics.
It's funny because certain middle class people speaking English often throw in French or Italian words in the same way to sound clever! I'm not offended by it, as English borrows words from many other languages anyway.
While that's true, few born earlier than 32 weeks survive without neonatal intensive care. 20% of babies that do survive birth at 26 weeks develop lifelong health problems.
I would agree with returning them more if the parthenon was going to restored and the marbles returned to the original positions; however it seems pointless to transport them from one The British Museum to the Acropolis Museum which has 1/4 of the visitors.
The most popular car in the US does half the MPG of popular cars in Europe, so petrol has been too cheap; especially when when you consider that the average person in the US drives nearly twice the distance per years compared to people in Europe. Having said that, most people in the US cannot simply reduce how much they drive as towns and cities have designed for cars as the primary mode of transport.
The idea of stranger danger is largely a myth, as most almost all crimes committed towards children are by those closest to them: parent, relatives and people in positions of trust.
It only seems like that but people in the US have to pay for things that Europeans take for granted. You might earn more, but most people would end up with less disposable income.
Also rail networks require far more staff, and cost a huge amount to maintain. Trains have very large economies of scale, where the cost of journey rapidly come down with large volumes of passengers. Flights don't benefit from anywhere near the same savings when scaling up.
That doesn't make sense as a disability is a lack of ability.
It sounds like a copy of the British term "special needs" used to refer to someone with cognitive impairment, sometimes shorted in conversion by people as "special".
I use a 45" 4K Samsung QLED TV with my Macbook Air M1. It's great having a single big display on the wall above my desk, the only downsides being that I have to turn on the TV manually, but this could be fixed by using an adapter with CEC support. Also only running at 60Hz, but that's not something I care about.
I don't personally suffer from ADHD, but from what I understand it's a spectrum order with sub-types, so I affects everyone differently. Some people have trouble focusing their attention, while others are compulsive and suffer from lack self regulation and emotional issues.
Maybe the Roswell incident in 1947 started it, as one of the classified balloons crashed that used to monitor Soviet nuclear tests. The CIA capitalised on the rumours relating to aliens and used them to build a campaign of misinformation. Even if there were any real sighting of flight tests it would have been really hard for the Soviets to filter them out from all the nonsense. The fact that people still believe the rumours today show what a great idea it was!
The simplest explanation is in most cases the correct one; and in this case that would be one that doesn't break the laws of the universe!
There could be another explanation, that the event you describe a result of confabulation; essentially an error in memory where you mind fills in the gaps. The problem is that the more you explore such a memory the more real it becomes as you mind interpolates it.
The highest classed drugs (as in class A) have the biggest negative impact on society, and I don't thin that anyone sensible would try to argue that heroin, cocaine or crystal meth are harmless; or beneficial in any way? I can be argued that people should the personal right to take anything they want; and while I agreed with that in principle, people and society have to pick up the pieces. If drugs were available in a regulated way could solve many problems, but it would have to be done in such a way to it doesn't create a industry which profits from peoples addition.
Most of the people I have encountered over the years have sold drugs for money, or to feed their own habit. I'm aware that people dealers at the bottom don't make much money; although most of them think they do as they don't often have many better options.
Absolutely. Possession shouldn't be a crime; just the intent to supply. The best way to help addicts is to supply them with safe places to go to administer drugs, and provide registered addicts with safe drugs and support for free. It's expensive, but less expensive than wasting resources treating people that are essentially victims, as criminals.
It's important to note that "the war on drugs" is an American concept; not how things are done in the rest of the world. It's almost like they learned nothing from the prohibition!
The problem is that schools and teachers are at risk from more liability than ever. If a student is groomed online whilst using a school device of login, who do you think is going to get blamed; not the parents but the school. If a child is bullied online or radicalised, then again is will fall back on the school.
You can't have privacy and expect a school to be responsible for what a child does online. Privacy doesn't create a safe environment; and when it comes to crappy adults, out of any group of people parents are the by far the most likely to abuse or neglect children. This idea of "stranger danger" is a myth, as the real danger in most cases is closer to home.
My company gave me a i9 MBP for work, but I use my own personal M1 Macbook Air instead as it's so much better; no fan noise or smell of cooking thermal paste! Also and sites nicely under the 45" 4K QLED screen that I use as a main monitor.
