Would a thin, double-sided adhesive film be any good, that's peel-off on both sides? You want one that has the right 'bounce' characteristics, don't you? Are you trying to make your own?

...thus far.

He is setting a precedent with respect to the things mentioned, like not stepping away from his business dealings. tax etc. May be the anti-communist propaganda of earlier times still runs in enough Americans to resist a change to a more socialist outlook.

It's bad when you have to enact laws that force a president to behave correctly instead of it being assumed to be innate in them .

We had this conversation when he was inaugurated. I'm hoping something nice and juicy is going to emerge around the time of the mid-terms. Paul Manafort getting $10m off a Russian close to Putin is a good sign.

Yes, China will adapt and its people will too... by decree. America can't win. The other thing is, I don't think there are other countries behind America either unless they are blackmailed, as the US is trying to do with Iran.

That's part of a long-term plan with Warren buffet's group and Morgan Chase to bring down healthcare costs to US businesses and their own employees in the US. Good luck to them.

More of these people want to be Galileo than Einstein wrt to battling the prevailing paradigm.

It takes a long time to be receptive, without internal resistance, to relativity and quantum ideas.

It's a stupid regulation, forcing websites to tell you they are going to plant a cookie. Cookies are normal.

"but... but...pretend it doesn't rust" Of course, at that point, we go into the realms of not doing science.

Everything is a vehicle for something. As I get older, I appreciate the niches organisms inhabit.

Unless one is in science or does this type of discussion, the dryness of the responses and rebuttals can seem like a terse attack. People are used having their feelings taken into consideration. You either get through that stage or you don't. After nine years on here, I'm just about bullet-proof. I can''t wait to have an idea and ninja everybody... I dream.

The infants and primary schoolteachers will be pleased to learn that... oh, and threadworms.

Cheers. I didn't think it was going to have a nice tidy answer. So it's model dependent. Cheers. Cheers. I thought it might.

And is the Higgs mechanism part of electrons?

ENGA-LUND!

This was the 80's or 90's.

What language would you be using to describe that?

Do you think unions were the same though between the US and UK. Our unions at the time were pretty hard left, even by UK standards.

if anyone is interested what Einstein actually thought about the Aether, his lecture from 1920 :

Here, here! I would just say "Look at America". I can remember Maggie holding up the US as an example of the way to go as a model of economic efficiency. The inflexibility and political aspirations of the unions at the time precipitated the change from a socialist outlook to a more capitalist one. The unions were terrible.

I think this was symptomatic of an ill-acquired management trained in business techniques - as was common then - that had no clue as to the requirements of each hospital and instead treating each one as identical clones of a franchise. Health administration on a universal healthcare platform, like the NHS, is whole different ball game.

I think if you are eating a good variety of foods that's as fast as it's going to grow. There's plenty of snake oil advice and sellers on the internet which you should avoid. It's up there with bigger willies and bigger breasts for scammers and general BSers

OK.
