I don't know if Fomepizole is superior on some respects to ethanol(lower toxicity, say, allowing you to saturate the patient more heavily); but that's my impression of why it isn't more popular.
I can think of another reason something called "foam pizzle" wouldn't be a popular drink.
So might even RNA/DNA or other kinds of self-reproducing molecules be created that way? If true, that might have big implications for the Panspermia hypothesis.
Amino acids are found in deep space. IIRC Wikipedia has a list of all the molecules that have been found.
Yeah, I think I've read that the court actually rejects a small percentage of the 'applications', too. Every pundit has to have their spin.
However, I think the actual point is that we have a court outside the regular hierarchy, which means that just a few people are creating the judicial "consensus" [*], and they're issuing a steady stream of secret rulings based on a secret interpretation of the law that only a handful of legislators are privy to, and aren't allowed to speak about.
I.e., very serious lack of congressional (and public) oversight.
But then, Congress is supposed to decide who we're at war with, and when.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a new ad from FWD.us, his pro-immigration reform PAC.
This is inaccurate. The main focus of the PAC is on guest workers, not immigrants.
Yeah, "pro-immigration reform" is a bit of a stretch for "pro-cheap-foreign-labor reform".
"Give us your (somewhat) skilled workers willing to work for a sub-standard wage.
Or rather, just loan them to us long enough for the next group to be ready."
The idea was that the USA would be a shining city on a hill, an example for other nations. It wasn't supposed to be a beacon for immigrants. "Hey, you can do this too"... not "Hey, come over here cause you can't get your shit together over there"...
Whose idea?
Why did the people who wrote our constitution include a clause granting citizenship to those who are born here? Had *they* already perverted the idea?
When I was a schoolboy we were taught to take pride in the fact that we were and always had been a melting pot. Somehow we've run off the rails since then.

And to say that it’s been approved by the courts is a misnomer, because it gives the impression that federal courts have approved this, when in reality, it’s the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which has rubber-stamped every single--
STEPHANOPOULOS: Which is a federal court.
RADACK: No, it is a secret court set up at the Justice Department that has federal judges on it. But last year, it approved 2,000 out of 2,000 applications. They hear only the government’s side, and they have never -- they have rejected an application one time since 1978.
It's annoying when it's someone sitting next to or in front of you; otherwise, it's not noticeable.
I usually wait until a movie has been out for 2+ weeks, to have a good choice of seats. I find the handheld screens *very* distracting in the darkened theater before the movie starts. However, I've never noticed one during the movie itself. I don't know whether that's because people are polite enough not to use them, because I'm absorbed in the movie, or simply because I don't get out enough.
I would support this. Just have the mesh around the theater rooms, rather than the whole building, and let people go out into the hallway if they need to make a call.
Ditto for airplanes: just line the cabin, and let people step outside if they need to make a call.
I've read the article several times and can't find any mention of them being pro-Israel. It seems like the only real "Israeli" connection is that Jewish people were the targets of a scam and did the right thing and alerted authorities...
Look for "that they intended to use to secretly sicken opponents of Israel", in the very first sentence.
I had the misfortune to bid a contract to work for some "Christian Zionists" recently.
ISTM that the majority of the "my Israel, right or wrong" sentiment in the USA comes not from Jews, but from the Religious Right, who think their god created the USA to protect Israel for its role as a nation of Red Shirts in their end-times passion play.
Really glad to hear that it was Jewish Americans who turned the crazies in. Hopefully many of the mosques in America that encounter radical and/or terrorism sympathetic persons will rise to the occasion and do the same when they hear something actionable, instead of waiting for the government to find the bad guys without assistance.
That is, in fact, the norm rather than the exception.
Did I dodge the knee jerk liberal piling-on?
No, you just told us that you don't know how liberals think.

Like relocation to higher ground?
They should move to North Carolina, where the legislature outlawed sea level rise.
Even without anthropogenic warming, there would have been substantial sea level rise over the last century.
Could you explain how that follows from your quote?
I used to internally ask myself the following two questions quite frequently: "Who am I? What exactly am I here for?"
The first question is easy, but the second is disconcerting when encountered on Slashdot.
three words should put an end to this chicanery: Immortal Dick Cheney.
I think "should be possible" already deflates the hype.

If you were in one of the many countries the US was spying on would you extradite Snowden?
For most countries, the answer probably depends on what kind of deal they can get.
It's pretty informative to see all the AC posts in this thread... what is everyone afraid of?!?
Oh, wait... the NSA is watching and listening.
Surely you don't think the NSA has any trouble figuring out who all these A/Cs are.
I doubt they will be all that outraged. They singed it into law letting them do it.

That doesn't excuse it.
The business I conduct in my country in the EU is of zero import to the US.
I suspect that True Patriots interpret "national security" to include economic hegemony.

Management exists to tell you what you need and how much you can have, not to ensure that you have what you really need to do your job efficiently.
Also, enforcing a budget cut will probably get someone promoted yet another level beyond his competence.
try to explain that in your pedigree.

Maybe it both is and isn't, until you have a look at it.

Pro-Israel does not mean Jew.

2) The editors at Slashdot have some sort of Antisemitic agenda
Why would I say that? If you bother to read the second sentence of the article you will notice that the weapon builders were not Jews.
The summary neither says nor implies that they were. It's perfectly compatible with the linked article.
Really glad to hear that it was Jewish Americans who turned the crazies in.
