What course was that? This sounds a lot like "She was just asking for it, dressed like that"

I'm glad the "point police" are still alive and well. I gave the downvote back because I don't think calling someone a "Mega twat" is an appropriate description of a person's behavior.

“My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British prime minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.” Neville Chamberlain Sept 30, 1938

Baloney. A tyrant's hunger is never satiated.

The dosing schedule of warfarin is infamously tricky, requiring regular monitoring to ensure levels remain therapeutic without becoming toxic. As you note, warfarin is a vitamin k antagonist: thus the dose of warfarin is only one side of this equation - dietary intake is the other. For this reason it is usually recommended that people remain on a consistent diet, and the warfarin dose adjusted around this. But sometimes it's easier to recommend for people to manage by simply avoiding certain foods rich in vitamin k. As for evidence: i imagine you are using google, which will give plenty of results aimed at lay people. If you want the actual evidence base use something like google scholar. Here are the first two papers I came across on scholar: i've only read their abstracts, i share them as an example of what you can find now you know where to look rather than anything definitive. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1517/14740338.5.3.433?casa_token=G5_umicM8lsAAAAA%3AS4YanznlhhCWxtZrpraK0rxWPT9QyW5EF47eMO3JfpeKte2eekWsfSNqi6EZuxaSASqA41yrwd8 https://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/full/10.2217/pgs.11.184

Two stories which we probably won't hear on the news: - Two gypsies stole a tank and cut out the catalytic converter. - An old Grandma in a village gave poisonous food to a couple of russians and when they went to a wooden toilet outside she lit it on fire.

More like Russia sprang forth from the Ukraine. The original people, who settled/cultivated the area of present day Ukraine called themselves the KievanRus, where the 'rus' denoted their red-haired Nordic ancestry. Kievan Rus' - Wikipedia The steppes of present day Russia were the domain of the Mongol, or Golden, Horde in the South, and mostly barren Siberian wasteland to the North. Well at least this time you chose toexplain instead of simply downvoting. Much appreciated. What kind of description is it to call someone's behaviour 'dick'-like, and then have that post magically disappear, so that my angry response is the only one visible, and I look bad ?

Kyiv vs Moscow, since 996 A.D.

No. Scratch doesn't contain enough DNA, let alone stainless steel.

Maybe, they were two people that had the same idea; idea's are immortal, not people...

Yep, and that argument was specious, unfounded, and plainly wrong, too. Lol. You should worship Frankenstein, not Jesus or Mo

Einstein said that nationalism is a disease. He didn't say nations.

No. He wasn't part of the delegation.

The source given to claim that the constants are improbable is not a scientific paper but a philosophical paper. Which makes sense since the whole idea is nonscientific. The science of probabilities requires multiple occurrences and in the case of the universe as a whole, there is only one occurrence, so you can not make any valid scientific claim regarding the probability of it constants. Honestly this whole discussion should be moved to the philosophy or theology forums because there isn't any scientific background to back it up at this time.

D Trump is an imbecile and a continuing joke. However idiots like T Carlson and T Gabbard ( who I have lost all respect for ) are taking this opportunity to attack President Biden while making excuses for V Putin. And they call themselves patriots ....

Summary: Putin is a failed leader presiding over a dysfunctional society. The rising success of former Soviet countries such as Estonia and Ukraine underscore Russia's shortcomings and would eventually lead to internal change. Thus, Russia's neighbors must be subjugated.

"Madman Strategy" - the same moniker used to describe Trump when he was supposedly playing 5-D Backgammon of whatever. The world gives people like this too much credit. Putin is an obsolete remnant of an obsolete system, a country calcified with corruption, unable to rejuvenate itself organically due to a lack of democratic processes. It's a country in slow decay whose only avenue for growth is to reach out for the unattainable pipe dreams of past imperial glory.

Again from Axios: The European Union, Australia, Japan, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom are joining the U.S. with similar actions as a "force multiplier," according to the White House. * Russia's largest financial institution will be cut off from the U.S. financial system, reports Axios' Zachary Basu and Oriana Gonzalez. * "Full-blocking" sanctions will be imposed on four additional Russian banks. * New debt restrictions will be imposed on 13 Russian state-owned enterprises and entities that together hold nearly $1.4 trillion in assets. * The U.S. will impose sweeping export controls on technologies critical to the Russian defense sector and broader economy. * Seven Russian elites and their family members who hold some of the highest positions of power in the country will also be sanctioned.

Is it?

Change is inevitable, the lionfish isn't...

The rule here is, attack the argument, not the lionfish...

If you check your history, you'll find that Hitler was raging after Chamberlain left, he felt he had been out-manoevered. Chamberlain bought precious time because Britain was woefully unprepared. You're just buying in to the simplistic history, there's real politics behind the headlines and spin.

I think pressure is the solution. If enough pressure was exterted on a Silver atom, one electron would be forced out of orbit, causing it to turn into a gold atom. I think that's one way alchemy could be accomplished, without having to resource to nuclear fusion etc. Pressure can be found in plenty in the natural world, weights, slinkies, a very primitive device could be invented that exerts pressure on atoms that way. One wouldnt even need to turn to technology for the answer. In fact as far back as the middle ages, people used to cause alchemy, which proves the secret to alchemy is in the primitive not in technology. If they could do it, then so can we.

Residents of Montenegro came out to demonstrate in support of Russia. The homeless of Yugoslavia 1999 are fresh in their memory.

Except that Russia set up Ukraine as a country in the first place. With the agreement that Russia would continue to have unfettered access to Crimea for it's Black Sea Fleet, and that Ukraine would remain neutral. This was all abandoned after an illegal coup, that was planned, organised and started by the CIA. These things have a habit of coming back to bite you.

No he's not, he's a twat. Three or four weeks ago, if I'd been leader of Ukraine, I'd have done a deal not to join NATO. What would it have cost? NATO membership was not even on the cards, for decades. The Germans said that publicly, and everybody knew it. A deal that costs nothing, and he turned it down? He's a moron. Everyone knew this was coming, and he had a simple choice to make. On what parallel universe could this be described as the best choice? What would the world be like today, if he'd done the deal? Nobody would have been killed, nobody would have fled, streets and shops would be normal, planes would be flying in and out as normal, cash machines would be working, and fuel in this country would be it's usual price. He's a mega twat.
