Wiring Wharfedale Denton 2 speakers (split from Do ‘Zoomers’ understand how the internet works ?)
Whatever way you do it, the speakers need to be wired to their own amplifiers i.e made active, to drive the speaker units. They need current and a wireless signal. You would have wall sockets in the vicinity of each speaker. Google 'convert analog speaker to wireless active'. I've deliberately put the US version of 'analogue' because it will likely get more hits.

UVC Resistant lichen
Sounds good to me. My error is not going back far enough when conditions were different.

UVC Resistant lichen
It would be interesting to know how it evolved uvc resistance because afaik uvc doesn't reach the ground because it is too energetic and reacts with oxygen to form ozone high up in the atmosphere.

US Constitution Article 1, Sections 9 and 10 removed from government website
From the kids I know, they would be in a state of mortal grief if they were disconnected. That game 'Second Life' is a reality now, it seems, for a lot of people and they willingly give up their privacy, allowing companies to track them 365 days a year. Perfect for budding authoritarian regimes.

Why infants and children died at a horrific rate in the Middle Ages?
Chill out and learn how we converse. When in Rome... We mostly stick to the rules of the scientific method, but we aren't averse to bantering. The fact you put" "scientific" arguments" as you did suggests you aren't really into viewing things in an objective way and like to colour your thoughts with random, pulled out of your arse opinions. If you talk bollocks without references expect pushback. The first thing I do when I join a group is figure out peoples range and level. You might do the same.

I thought you were still there. Online, people aren't being subtle and the same with the politicians in many countries.

Do you think if the indications at the midterms are strongly indicate dictatorship, that would be the trigger for widespread civil disobedience/violence You can't bring dissenting words/demonstrations to a gunfight. This is a first afaict because America is/was a fully functioning democracy, which has been maliciously and systematically eroded by the likes of McConnell rigging the composition of the Supreme Court since Obama, and possibly before him.

At what point in this demolition will it be a fait accompli, and authoritarianism rules? What do you think will be the definitive action(s) that will send America irreversibly towards dictatorship?

My guess it's the powers that be in the Heritage Foundation up to no good and prepping the field for the execution of Project 2025.

Yep. His niece Mary Trump thinks he's just a political puppet, now that she thinks he's in cognitive decline. She's a clinical psychologist, I think.

Just seen on a social feed that the GOP has removed the above from the Congress website displaying the Constitution. https://constitution.congress.gov/search/article%201/searchfacet/Article_I///100/1/1 Why might that be?

He singed out black swan events and using those to be representative.

The pollution was their own body waste and the movement into cities from the countryside as a result of the later industrial revolution, concentrating populations, made it worse for a time, I think, until germ theory was a thing.

I don't think public or personal hygiene was a thing then. People used to throw body waste and household rubbish anywhere. Food was seasonal and a very narrow range to choose from.

Right.

How many trucks with food for Gaza ...
How might they do that under such overwhelming force?

Do you think it would secure democracy better if there were 13 judges on the SC? It would be packing it now, but only by one judge in ratio terms? Doing that would rebalance the difference and possibly make pulling McConnell's stunt of engineering it full of Conservatives more difficult in the future.

An appeal to help advance the research on gut microbiome/fecal microbiota transplantation in the US.
I feel the approach of the OPs is too focussed and unjustifiably evangelistic for the actual state of current knowledge in this area. I like this area of research, which I think is still in a high state of flux. Promoting specific therapies in that environment of uncertainty is not a good idea. It looks promising, but saying that does not mean it's practically useful now.

How can we inhabit Mars ?
As SpaceX failures shows we don't even have the ability to get any significant equipment that far. It is not trivial.

An appeal to help advance the research on gut microbiome/fecal microbiota transplantation in the US.
Even if you were given a FMT with a suitable profile, will your dietary habits and its composition preserve what has been put there medically in the long term? Are you eating additives that harm your intestinal flora, and you need to provide the right foods (prebiotics) so that the bacteria you have can do their job feeding the gut cells with low molecular fatty acids and maintaining overall gut homeostasis.

OK.

The real sad news is that he left quietly without resistance instead of getting sacked and making a noise as he was evicted. Walking out is not an act of rebellion but rather is an act of submission. People are collectively opening the door to authoritarianism with these collective acts of resignation.
