  1. @iNow I denegged that post then removed it, seeing as VAT's serious. Regarding the meeting last night, I must say these WH staffers are something else when it comes to professional protocol. Are these staffers like our UK civil service; somewhat outwardly apolitical?
  2. The stars photons get more red-shifted as they travel through the expanding space. The longer they travel, the more RS they become.
  3. I think you'll find that will come under control of the medical fraternity's ethics committees. I would rather be subject to the moral jurisprudence regarding matters of life and death in the hands of medical professionals, who follow time-worn, tested principles, than the spontaneous 'professional' viewpoinjt of a politician, who is most likely riddled with all the logical fallacies under the sun ruling his head.
  4. 'Kinell. Not going to happen.
  5. However you want to call it, the best judges are in the labour room, not a politician who takes their life lessons from a book of unknown or vague origins.
  6. But it would be a declaration of war. The nuclear fallout isn't going to stay in Ukraine. I don't think we would have to respond with a reciprocal nuclear strike, we can do it in all-out conventional, since we still have a lot of those available. I see Russia using tacticals if their conventionals are depleted too much to secure their objective, assuming they must succeed at any cost.,
  7. One is elected to represent the group in ones state so I suppose he is what one gets in that situation. He is only reflecting the degree of political swing in his state.
  8. What is his MO within the Democrats? i don't know much about him, and his professional contrariness piques me...?

  10. Read a bit about this. It's very well done but it's not real. Lamoine's intent was to bring to attention the potential consequences of the Google organisation ignoring its sentience when it happens. He's thinking ahead because being an emergent process, sentience will just happen when sufficient complexity arises in the system.
  11. I think it primarily means if the actual pregancy is causing physical medical harm to her life. Not sure if suicidal ideation as the result of one is covered under that law. It seems that none do. 5 make no exception for rape or incest. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/24/abortion-laws-by-state-roe-v-wade-00037695 I think one of the real issues will be women who miscarry and are subject to an invasive investigation under suspicion of voluntary induction rather than a tragedy for them until proven as naturally caused. Either way, involuntary or voluntary, it's a serious state breach of bodily autonomy.
  12. Biden admin: Docs must offer abortion if mom’s life at risk WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Monday told hospitals that they “must” provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk, saying federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws in jurisdictions that now ban the procedure without any exceptions following the Supreme Court’s decision to end a constitutional right to abortion. The Department of Health and Human Services cited requirements on medical facilities in the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or EMTALA. The law requires medical facilities to determine whether a person seeking treatment may be in labor or whether they face an emergency health situation — or one that could develop into an emergency — and to provide treatment. “If a physician believes that a pregnant patient presenting at an emergency department is experiencing an emergency medical condition as defined by EMTALA, and that abortion is the stabilizing treatment necessary to resolve that condition, the physician must provide that treatment,” the agency’s guidance states. “When a state law prohibits abortion and does not include an exception for the life of the pregnant person — or draws the exception more narrowly than EMTALA’s emergency medical condition definition — that state law is preempted.” https://apnews.com/article/abortion-health-government-and-politics-4221f9306a596904b9af2e0d1fad23b9 Floating abortion clinic proposed in Gulf to bypass bans MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A California doctor is proposing a floating abortion clinic in the Gulf of Mexico as a way to maintain access for people in southern states where abortion bans have been enacted. The idea is to provide a clinic aboard a ship in federal waters, and out of reach of state laws, that would offer first trimester surgical abortions, contraception and other care, said Dr. Meg Autry, an obstetrician and gynecologist and a professor at the University of California San Francisco. “There’s been an assault on reproductive rights in our country and I’m a lifelong advocate for reproductive health and choice. We have to create options and be thoughtful and creative to help people in restrictive states get the health care they deserve,” she told The Associated Press. Autry said the idea is only in the fundraising stage through the non-profit, “PRROWESS” — short for “Protecting Reproductive Rights Of Women Endangered by State Statutes.” The proposal comes as abortion access in the southern United States has been swiftly curtailed after the U.S. Supreme Court turned the issue of abortion back to the states. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-health-reproductive-rights-government-and-politics-bfab2bd6604229d7b2bcad630037c4e8
  13. 1174g will dissolve in 1L at 10C, it's very soluble.
  14. Yeah, know what you mean. I wouldn't try that technique unless the plane was absolutely tickety-boo condition and setup. I think you can get a Stanley No.62 Low Angle 'Sweet Heart' on your side of the pond which are well rated and not a stupid price.
  15. @iNow Have you tried a low angle plane? They can be used on material with multi-directional grain and end-grain. Low angle block plane for the small stuff.
  16. When I was struggling with the idea of maths, my grandad told me "Maths is a language and not a problem". It's a way of describing the universe in a quantitatively standard way that means the same to anyone who looks at a mathematical description. Our national spoken language can only really describe quantitiitive things in a qualitative way, such as "That cornfield is really big". How big is 'big' is left to the imagination of the listener, and that's were maths is useful for sharing the idea of size in a way that can be accurately shared and replicated by someone else, just on the basis of a few symbols. Infinite and infinitesimal concepts that you have an issue with are just where our quantitative ideas break down. They aren't believed to be real in the sense that they reside in things outside of our minds... we just can't currently explain something with infinite/infinitesimal limits. Maths doesn't always describe reality accurately.
  17. You got it wrong. He's wants to block using EU funds to help REBUILD Ukraine. Nothing to do with the war effort... that's after.
  18. Tough read.
  19. Depending on how active your site is, you should expect Google to crawl it anywhere between every four and thirty days. Sites updated more regularly tend to be crawled more often, given Googlebot tends to hunt for new content first -Google
  20. Better hope the last picture is a nice one.
  21. Memory gives us the flow of time. A friend's mother, who is about stage 3 of 4 Alzheimer's has a memory of just a few minutes, is repeatedly executing the same thoughts and actions. Every minute she hums, before that it was "Oh God". Gradually steering towards a single perpetual moment, surrounded by nothing.
  22. I imagine a clear sky out into space and the photons reflecting out into space all the visible events occurring on Earth, like a never ending movie. We are the stones thrown into a pond, and our actions are the ripples on the water, which move through time long after we are gone. Even when we are dead there will still be ongoing consequences from our existence.
  23. It seems if you use a sawn off shotgun it will leave characteristic striations on the wad after exiting the barrel. If you've got the gun and they find the wad, I suppose they just have to match the powder trace chemistry on the wad and in the gun as well to implicate your weapon. A reloaded used cartridge won't necessarily get you off in that situation.
