There is the Disqualification Clause of the 14th amendment:
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
So, let’s see how indictment number, uh, whatever the insurrection one was, goes.
Honestly, not much in the way of alternatives. Tritium is very, very difficult to remove from water. Basically the only option, aside from discharge, is to store it in tanks and wait for enough half lives to elapse that the tritium effectively just decays away on its own. The half life of tritium is just over 12 years, so that’ll still be a while longer, and that gets expensive (in terms of both storage costs and space costs). However, tritium is not particularly dangerous, especially at low concentrations.
As usual with radioactive liquids, dilution is the solution. And Japan has diluted this liquid to 1500Bq/liter, far short of their internal legal limit of 60,000Bq/liter, and even far below the WHO limit of 10,000Bq/liter.
Usually to consider radioactive sources “gone” you have to wait at least 5 half lives (which makes it 99.875% gone), which would be 60 years in this case.
100% yes, it is safe. Tritium is a very weak beta emitter, so tritium itself cannot emit radiation strong enough to even penetrate your skin. According to the NRC, drinking water for an entire year from a well contaminated with 1600 pCi/ml of tritium (comparable to levels identified in a drinking water well after a significant tritiated water spill at a nuclear facility) results in a radiation dose of 0.3 mrem. That is 12 times lower than the dose you receive from a cross country flight (DC-LA and back). The federal limit (in the US) for radiation workers is 5 rem per year. 0.3 mrem is 0.00003 rem. This release of tritiated liquid by Japan is completely safe, and very far below any regulatory limit.
Edit: Just saw how she looked in makeup of her own choosing. Eek. Amend the above to read “I’d let her drive me into a building, as long as she was restricted to wearing light makeup by an attorney who wishes her to make a good impression in court, and most expressly was not wearing those ridiculous fake eyelashes”
How can they convict someone on lack of evidence that they are innocent? She could have passed out for what ever reason and was not in control at all. A shocking travesty of life and justice imo.
Is this because you find it hard to believe that anyone could do such a thing? This is the attitude that meant it took so long for Letby to be caught, as the senior hospital managers ignored warnings from doctors, seemingly on the assumption that she must be innocent, because the alternative was too awful to contemplate. But some people really are capable of such awful acts. Fortunately they are relatively rare.
More people buying used cars instead of new cars does not benefit me, so I’m not happy about advertising it as a good way to spend less money. Maybe “hate” was a little too strong of a word to use.
I’ve been waiting for aptera, but I think my current vehicle will finish falling apart before they finally come out. I’m going to look for a battery replacement on a bolt.
Leasing is terrible, I’ll pay much much more over the lifetime of the vehicle. I can afford the money, I just don’t want anything expensive or fancy.
I have a recurring service appointment every two weeks where I drop off the car and throw a stack of money at them.
Actually, it’s a reliable car, but the previous owner ignored a few big service items. Now that those are done, it’s cheaper to maintain than you might think.
Let’s look at the numbers around NBC’s claim here. 4752 children killed by guns (or toddlers with guns) in 2021. There are 73 million children in the USA. That’s only 0.0065% of children in America killed.
99.99% of children in the USA were not killed by guns in 2021.
