I’m telling you the world is being over run by drug dealers and criminals.
My personal conspiracy is that trump along with other politicians are played by the mob.
Trump was going to link up with Russia, and they were going to use the world’s cartels and street gangs to destroy and gain power in other countries.
For example looting by gangs during 2020 protests and then the maga movement in general took advantage of easily manipulated angry men to promote racism and general ignorance to help strong arm for their cause.
I’m telling you Roger stone is gang and trump was being pushed to presidency as a puppet… That’s why they tried also pushing Robert Kennedy with rightwing propaganda… because that family is now “owned” by the mob.
Well look at the size of her frickin lawn. She must have to mow 24x7. Eventually a hawk was bound to drop a snake on her. It was just a matter of time.

Holy shit, that’s indefensible, and they all worked together. It reminds me of the Milgram shock experiments.
From Wikipedia: this is only a 1-sigma result compared to theory using lattice calculations. It would have been 5.1-sigma if the calculation method had not been improved.
Many calculations in the standard model are mathematically intractable with current methods, so improving approximate solutions is not trivial and not surprising that we've found improvements.
Tangentially related but I can’t seem to find the answers and I have a couple questions that perhaps someone can answer:
Do stars actually generate muons directly? From what I understand the muons on Earth are a result of cosmic rays colliding wtih particles in the atmosphere.
If they do, how far do they travel before decaying? Even if they travel at relativistic speeds, they have a mean lifetime of 2.2 ns, so the math seems to say they don’t travel very far at all on average.
Either way, are there any other sources of muons in the universe? I’m curious what the muon density distribution in the universe would look like.

Muons are naturally generated by cosmic ray protons colliding with atmospheric molecules and creating pions, which then rapidly decay to muons and muon neutrinos. These themselves then decay into a bunch of other things.

That muons can hit the Earth is one of the key pieces of evidence in favor of relativity, in fact. As you say, with a mean lifetime of 2.2 nanoseconds, they shouldn’t be able to hit the surface of the Earth, but because at relativistic speeds time dilation occurs from our frame of reference (or, equivalently, in the muon’s inertial frame, it sees the distance it has to travel be radically shortened via length contraction), they do end up hitting the earth.

I doubt it, because they decay so quickly. AFAIK you have to do it via the pion decay route, and all the muons we create are in particle accelerators. I guess it would be like how we create radioactive isotopes in hospitals on-demand for medical purposes that wouldn’t survive transportation to the hospital before decay, and couldn’t be stored long-term because, well, they would decay.
as an aside, Nature is rather more pessimistic about the discovery, which I think is reasonable.
Muons are naturally generated by cosmic ray protons colliding with atmospheric molecules and creating pions, which then rapidly decay to muons and muon neutrinos.
So in theory they could exist anywhere in the universe somewhat close to a star, if the relevant particles in our atmosphere are around that star? That’s what I meant about the density distribution: are they spherically distributed around (all) stars, or are they only present in very specific situations?
These themselves then decay into a bunch of other things.
I thought they had a small selection of possible decay products. Not particularly relevant to me at the moment, though.
As you say, with a mean lifetime of 2.2 nanoseconds, they shouldn’t be able to hit the surface of the Earth, but because at relativistic speeds time dilation occurs from our frame of reference (or, equivalently, in the muon’s inertial frame, it sees the distance it has to travel be radically shortened via length contraction), they do end up hitting the earth.
I mistyped the mean lifetime, it’s actually 2.2 microseconds. That’s three orders of magnitude different, but from a (non-relativistic) view it would still only travel about 66 centimeters. I’m missing too much information to try to solve the length contraction equation (I don’t know its length, or its velocity) for the observed length. I’m curious here because they’re able to travel on the order of roughly 50 meters into the Earth, and from what I can find they disappear there due to absorption from the many atoms they pass through on that path. So that leads me to a question: If there is not relatively dense earth to get in the way and attenuate the muon, such as if it were produced by a gas cloud beside a star, how far would it realistically be able to travel? Since the muons on Earth “die” from absorption rather than lasting long enough to decay via weak force, they would, in open space, surely be able to travel far enough without enough collisions such that they do end up “dying” by decay.
Thanks for the reply, I am curious here about something that I don’t have enough knowledge to answer for myself.
The part I don’t get is why wrap it up to look like it was ok? We’re they going to hand the baby to the parents and then claim it was ok when they handed it over? No take backs? Seriously wtf?!?
While Ghana was the country with the least affordable menstrual products of those we surveyed, women across Africa are struggling with “period poverty” - something activists are trying to change.
According to our research, a woman in Ghana earning a minimum wage of $26 a month would have to spend $3, or one in every $7 they make to buy two packets of sanitary towels containing eight pads.
Francisca Sarpong Owusu, a researcher at the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) in Ghana, says many vulnerable girls and women are using cloth rags which they line with plastic sheets, cement paper bags and dried plantain stems when menstruating because they cannot afford disposable sanitary towels.
Many menstrual health activists say removing “tampon taxes” is one way to help women inch closer to accessing and affording sanitary products.
Across Africa, and the world, lack of access to menstrual hygiene products due to high cost or because they’re not available in rural or remote areas has had a huge impact on millions of women.
South African campaigner Nokuzola lives with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it and can make menstruation very painful.
The six detainees have been identified as Andres M, Jose N, Eddy G, Camilo R, Jules C, and Jhon Rodriguez, Mr Zapata told a press conference on Thursday.
He added that during the police raid that resulted in their arrest, officers found a rifle, a submachine gun, four pistols, three grenades, four boxes of ammunition, two motorbikes, and a vehicle that had been reported stolen in the group’s possession.
A vocal critic of organized crime, Mr Villavicencio was one of the few presidential candidates to allege links between corruption and government officials.
Mr Villavicencio, a member of the country’s national assembly, had received threats from a gang calling itself Los Choneros last month and had been given a security detail.
He was one of eight candidates in the running for the first round of the election with a focus on fighting corruption - and he and his team had been threatened by the leader of a gang linked to drug-trafficking.
Once a relatively peaceful nation, Ecuador has been ravaged by the arrival of international drug cartels profiting from a boom in cocaine trafficking - and the issue can only grow in importance in the presidential election campaign.
So I looked up the price of a menstrual cup in Ghana. I converted the price to USD, since that’s what the article is in.
Asking someone to pay $14 out of their $26 monthly salary when they’re already struggling with paying $3 per month is both an unhelpful and ridiculous suggestion. Do you want these folks to bleed all over themselves for five months while they save up for an option that might or might not work for them? They deserve more dignity than that.
That’s quite a reach there. Of course I don’t think that. But just saying ‘duh use menstrual cups’ is a classist response. Where resources are more scarce they need to be prioritised, and so some people may not have water or fuel to spare to boil a menstrual cup, or the privacy to do it in eg if a stove is shared. Let alone access to menstrual cups’ in the first place (which cost around £30 in the UK and so are already priced out of the range of a lot of people on low incomes).
