According to the article, the crabs have been bred in an environment without predators. Therefore they have to train the crabs how to protect themselves in order to survive in the coral reefs. Picture of using puppets to train crabs
I’m kinda surprised to see them training them one at a time. That’s going to take ages. “OK, Roger has been successfully intimidated by the nightmare puppet. Looks like Brenda is next in line, someone bring in Brenda.”
Prior to this update, the board gave “push back” tilting the nose up with the last of it’s available torque when the user was going too fast and emitted a high pitched beep trying to let to user know to slow down or face a nose dive. The problem is, it was fairly easy to not notice the push back and the beep is completely inaudible when going 20mph due to wind noise. This update adds a physical vibration within the motor that the user can’t help but feel when they’re close to exceeding the limits of the board.
allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices is unconstitutional** for several reasons. It then asked for a preliminary injunction to halt the program by October 1
wtf kinda colonialism bullshit is this. Negotiating price points is unconstitutional?
confused Boston Tea Party noise
Can’t believe this is even serious. Though fitting given how our country’s healthcare is the antithesis, a complete joke.
suspended? lol, this is the united states of godamn fucking america here, dude interfered directly with gestapo tactics against freedom of the press, he should be fired, and brought up on criminal charges, right fucking meow
Thermal Destruction – uses the heat of the electrically heated containment vessel to deflagrate the munition and destroy the agent and energetics. The resulting gases are treated in an off-gas treatment system. The Static Detonation Chamber, or SDC, is an example of thermal destruction technology.
News organizations are typically issued seapenas for specific information because just raiding them and going through everything can reveal sources for unrelated stories. News organizations should have the ability to protect confidential sources if needed. Reason people are saying unconstitutional is because first amendment protects speech and freedom of press.
At least that’s how I understand it but I am not a lawyer.
I’m looking for something hyper specific, legal. Thanks for taking a whack.
I think the usual case involves information from a confidential source, the publication of which by the press is absolutely protected by the First Amendment.
In this case, it was a newspaper reporter who directly was accused of breaking the law to obtain confidential information from the government. The reporter either falsely impersonated the subject of the records or falsely certified as to her reason for accessing them, either violates state and federal law notably the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which is what the search warrant cited.
The press’s remedy for obtaining public records is through FOIA, which is itself a requirement of the First Amendment, on the basis that speech is infringed when the government doesn’t make its workings known to the public.
The search warrant made sense to me, and seemed that, if true, the only reasonable conclusion is that the reporter broke the law.
Nope this is the year they dismantle everything just in time for Trump to overthrow our government. We need to impeach and remove all traitors from our government. When do we say enough is enough and bring out the Guillotines, Pitchforks, and Torches?
I’ve never understood what gap these things fill that isn’t better filled by a bike. They look really fun, but as soon as I think seriously about it I can’t see why I wouldn’t want the exercise and mobility of walking or biking, and what I can’t do with those is satisfied by my car.
Portability. You don’t have to worry about bike racks, or how to carry it to the upper floors in apartment buildings and offices, and where to store it. You can just carry it like a briefcase and throw under the desk at the office and nobody would have a problem with that.
The answer to this is also the answer to where they were created, San Francisco. They’re perfect there because:
Cars are a hassle to deal with for traffic and parking. It’s dense enough and public transit is good enough that you only really need to walk/ride the last half mile.
The hills are no joke, I’m pretty in shape and even I have to walk a bike up most of the hills. This can be helped by an electric bike but that brings us to
Bikes get stolen fairly often. Especially if you have an ebike this will cost a lot in the long run. With a one wheel you can just carry it in the storeand not have to worry.
For most other American cities that are less dense, more flat and have less thefts they start to make less sense.
Dude should have never been released simply because we can’t ever be sure he’ll take his medication or adhere to treatment in the future. At some point, the safety of an individual and the public takes priority over turning them loose on the streets.
”Federal agencies had already drawn up detailed plans that spell out what services would continue, like airport screening and border patrols, and what must shut down, like scientific research and nutrition aid to 7 million poor mothers.”
Thank goodness they had their priorities straight. Those poor mothers can fuckin’ starve as long as we can continue our useless airport screenings.
There's not much reason or rhyme to keeping any. They're not very useful, they take up space and maintenance resources, and they're a PR disaster, even in accidents.
You're right that such weapons could be made again but imho there is no reason to, conventional weapons are more precise, accurate, controllable, and deployable. Chemical and biological weapons are both at the mercy of mother nature and can easily turn on people, like how poison gas can literally just blow back on an army as it did many times in WWI. Nerve agents and things could get into the water supply of both armies, etc.
Don't even get me started on biological weapons which can literally evolve out of control in less than a blink of an eye. There is NO REASON to keep such things around or to make them. Politicians can talk about using WMDS as bargaining chips but it's not really worth it or indeed logical to bargain with billions of lives and possibly even your own.
It's honestly very funny to me that so many people are worried about a robot revolution or skynet when we have weapons that could basically do the same thing already. They aren't intelligent, but diseases are very quick to evolve and adapt to getting as many hosts as quickly as possible, yet we are still keeping such things around for some insane reason.
Regarding biological weapons, we’re not really “keeping them around” aside from smallpox; biological weapons are naturally occurring. Anthrax, glanders, all those biological warfare potentials are right outside your door.
Your local hospital / clinical microbiology lab has an entire stack of plates with QC organisms that could absolutely fuck shit up. O157H7 E. coli, Yersinia pestis, Shigella sp., and so on. They need these to ensure they can detect such organisms should an outbreak occur.
I should have said the varieties that were specifically bred and engineered as WMDs but you are right that most are very available. For example there is a huge difference between the anthrax that was released in Sverdvolesk and "normal" anthrax. The soviets also tried to weaponize many "exotic" diseases like (allegedly) Marburg and Machupo, which cannot be found just anywhere. I assume that the U.S has at the very least considered creating such awful things with exotic diseases. Hybrids are a big deal too like the old post 9/11 meme of smallpox+ anthrax.
“intentionally banned” generally means “banned by a list of signatories who lack the capability to build up stockpiles or strategic utility to own them”. It’s all the countries who have zero planning for multi-million-strong armies crossing a land border in an invasion.
