Despite a month of promises, on Thursday the 24th at night, conviniently while the Putin shitstorm started he reinstalled a prosecutor in the disciplinairy chamber who tormented a pregnant woman resulting in her death becuase of religious BS. The disiplinairy chamber is an illegal entity and a private tool of Kaczyński and Ziobro (minister of justice and prosecutor general in one person) and is the main reason which prevents us from receiving the 150 bln euro form the EU post Covid fund and results in us paying around 1mln euro in fines. Daily. The president is not autonomous, he's a tool and a clown, unfortunately. Just came back home from a day of trips, dropping people off at shelters and getting food and supplies.

"Scientists discovered an absolutely massive bacterium that can be seen without the aid of a microscope and lurks among the mangroves of Grande-Terre in the Caribbean, Science magazine reported." That comment is from a Live Science article about a new bacterium, 2 centimeters long, that was recently discovered in the Caribbean. Enjoy!

I will now set a similar task That's the solution to this This task is similar to the previous task and how to do it that way in drawing that task help someone

The conflict is between two camps with different views of the Constitution, generally called Originalists and Living Document (aka loose constructionism). Originalists, who believe in strict adherence to a map laid out ca. 1790, tend to be conservative - Antonin Scalia was a prominent Originalist. Living Document justices, who believe that society has changed and evolved since 1790, and that our laws must be adaptive to those changes, tend towards more Liberal. The reality, for a long time, has been that loose constructionists guided a lot of seminal decisions and been influenced by changes in society such that some amendments have been seen as archaic and in need of clarification in a modern world. Their decisions, the so-called landmark cases, have done more than just confirm constitutionality. Roe v Wade, for example, defined and expanded a constitutional right to privacy that was never previously made explicit in the original document.

Cometh the moment ,cometh the man (and the people) They have already won by their example. Time for the Russian people to step up? (I agree the Russians have security concerns,but not at others' expense)

As a former Soviet citizen with a part of the family coming from Ukraine I have to say that I never thought I will have such a high respect to the Ukrainian people and to their president (whose last name rhymes with mine.)

This is the first time Germany has sent offensive weapons to a country at war in more than 85 years. Even though they were implored to do so by their EU and NATO neighbors in previous conflicts such as Kosovo, they still felt the 'shame' of their 12 year ( 33 to 45 ) Nazi past. Russian leaders are calling Ukrainians Nazis, even though the Ukraine is a more democratic society than present Russia. The Russians should learn a thing or two from the Germans, as they have 45 years of cold war oppression of Eastern Europe to be ashamed of.

Certainly we are technical site, but that makes it appropriate that we use the terminology appropriate to the particular discipline we are discussing. The term chamber is not used in reference to hydrocarbon deposits by reservoir engineers or petroleum geologists. They talk about reservoirs and pore spaces, not chambers. Leave that to a paleontologist who would certainly use it in relation to the chambers of an ammonite. So, how big a chamber is depends on the context. And whether or not we use the word chamber at all depends, again, on context.

It contains features that link seperate species, or families, or - as in this case - domains. Bacteria don't have cell nuclei. Their DNA is distrbuted throughout the cell. This example has the DNA restricted to a membrane encase pouch. That is plausibly a step through which life passed in moving from prokaryotes (no nuclei) to eukaryotes (nuclei). i.e. a missing link.

I can barely summon the energy for this, but...[stifles yawn].... because there are many other types of component in most machines of any complexity: off the top of my head, gears, blades, cranks, pistons and cylinders...oh and probably most crucial of all, bearings, both plain and rolling element type - plus a host of others, not least sensors of various kinds and microprocessors. Now let's guess what happens next. I reckon you will claim, in some way, that all of these can be treated as special cases of the six items on your original list. At which point it will be "Thank you and goodnight" from me. 😉

I have noticed that a high proportion of posts and threads in the Science forum are only marginally about science. Members seem to take more pleasure out of arguing politics, or maybe its just about arguing. At any rate, I've resolved to upvote every thread OP that is science oriented and you are the first recipient of this decision.:) The post is independently worthy of an upvote anyway, since it is quite fascinating. The size alone is remarkable, but the insights into the evolution of eukaryotes provided by its "membranous pouch" containng the organisms DNA are intriguing. I look forward to more revelations following further study.

In a political science class I took in college we were told that courts DID make laws. Whether or not you accept that depends on how you define 'making laws'. Courts don't write the legislation, but they may find, for example, that the Constitution limits the extent of the law, in effect changing the law so that it is different from the way it was presented by Congress. It is almost as if making the law was a team effort between legislators and courts.

You misspelled realist

This guy?

How is this not making Laws?

I don’t believe them

I expect the message to Zelensky will be: "Kyiv is surrounded; give up now while you still can." The Russians would have an interested in avoiding this battle too, since fighting from the outskirts of Kyiv to the center will be block by block, house by house - and they will likely lose a lot of troops.

...don't wash, don't rinse, but repeat...

It matters when a majority of our SCJ rule a law or lower court ruling to be either constitutional or not constitutional. If a law or rule is judged to be constitutional, then that law or rule is enforceable and must be honored by the various governing bodies of our country who are charged with maintaining our social order, freedom, and stability. Conversely, an unconstitutional law is unenforceable and our citizens cannot be compelled to adhere to that law. Our society is comprised of both Conservative and Liberal citizens who want these SCJ rulings to reflect their differing ideas and values. The "hand-wringing" comes when our court's rulings appear to lean in a partisan or political direction incongruent with the separate ideas and values each side holds--which is why we want Justices on our Supreme Court who are likely to constitutionally validate laws that favor our views over the oppositions.

I've been missing the soothing cheerful hum of germophobic hand-wringing that once came from this thread. Stunted immune systems are proliferating wildly as people refuse to eat floor food and the like. The best course is to take the bottle cap, swirl it around in the cat's litter box, then rinse off in the toilet bowl, then put back on the bottle. You're welcome.

We are spending millions a day to try to stop this. Actually from looking like anything at all. Just not intentionally.

Unfortunately neither the weak nor the strong interaction are invariant under rescaling, so no ‘shrinking matter’ model - irrespective of its details - can ever work, on fundamental grounds.

Maslow's famous pyramid, with more basic needs at the bottom, is sometimes a useful tool in studying what people care about.

Less true than it used to be. When I was first at university many of us brewed beer in plastic buckets/small dustbins. Yellow was a very popular colour. Then some professor (at Southampton I think) pointed out that the yellow colour is given by cadmium and this dissolves out into the beer. Cadmium, of course is poisonous.

You guys are full of crap. If SCJ don't interpret/make law, then why all the hand-wringing over whether they are Conservative or Liberal. or, pro-life or pro-choice ? It shouldn't matter if all they do is confirm the constitutionality of laws passed by the Legislative branch of Government.
