The genetic difference between dog breeds is vanishingly small as well. That doesn't mean that there aren't significant characteristics that define each breed.
Mostly cosmetic, gee, just like Afros vs. Caucasians vs. Orientals! On the inside, pretty much any dog is just like any other dog. Gee, just like homo sapiens!
Are you aware there were Nubian Pharaos, and the Northern part of Sudan is pretty much indistinguishable from Southern Egypt, historically even?
We're focusing on inconsequentials. Get past that crap. It don't mean nothin'.
Now, visually observable differences is not the only way to group humans or dogs, and may not be the best way, but it's a quick and dirty way which conveys some pieces of information.
The genetic difference between homo sapiens and Chimpanzies is vanishingly small, yet some portion of the population continues to believe the outward physical differences between Blacks, Caucasians, and Orientals are significant.
Ah, but if the very small genetic difference between Chimpanzies and humans yields a very significant difference in behavior between species, then we can expect that a very small genetic difference between humans might also yield significant difference in behavior and between races.
What a parochial attitude. A friend pointed out to me the other day that chimpanzies can't learn to point; something that dogs and human babies learn easily. Maybe chimps don't want to learn it. They've got their own individuality and symbology and feel no need to adopt ours.
Personally, I feel a great deal closer to Chimps than I do to Texans, Kansans,... I respect the former.
I don't think Herr Einstein was particularly Jewish, nor much religious in any other way. Was Oppenheimer? There was a lot of people working on the Manhattan Project, not just Jews. Truman wasn't a Jew and it was done on his authority. A lot of the people involved in MP thought the problem it was intended to solve disappeared on VE Day.
OK. Hmmm, all I see here is a lot of hybrid vigor.
Yeah. They kind of trivialize athletic accomplishment ("Basketball" == "Black Ball", and all that (apologies to Fletch and the Bird)). Jackie Robinson mattered. Pele mattered. Jesse Owens mattered. This's an interesting read:
However, when threatened with a boycott of the Games by other nations, he relented and allowed Black people and Jews to participate, and added one token participant to the German team—a German woman, Helene Mayer, who had a Jewish father.
Schmuck!
The next scheduled games in 1940 were awarded to Tokyo even though Japan was becoming an aggressive militaristic, nationalist state. Ironically in 1938 the Japanese rejected hosting the games because they saw the Olympics and its pacifist values as 'an effete form of European culture'.
That's pretty funny, considering what happened next.
It's exceedingly difficult for me seeing that people are still doing that. The genetic difference between homo sapiens and Chimpanzies is vanishingly small, yet some portion of the population continues to believe the outward physical differences between Blacks, Caucasians, and Orientals are significant. Why haven't we outgrown that crap yet?
Alexandria is in Africa. Egypt was the world's first superpower. Ancient Uganda was a superpower. The Zulu were a superpower. Africa's had a few lousy centuries mostly due to the bullies (European empires and various slavers) that surrounded them. Now they've finally been shaken off, I expect greatness from Africa in the future (if they can fend off the Chinese).
I wish I'd gone off grid and stayed in Khartoum.:-( Sigh.
... and at least having your windows closed gives a little protection from flying debris and hail.
No. Ground zero in a hurricane is going to be swarming with flying cars, trees, bricks, two-by-fours, & etc. Glass shards would be the least of your worries. Just stay away from any openings and hope the building stays where it is, preferably in as few pieces possible.
Those with some knowledge of history who live in areas with Amarind names generally recognize that the use of Indian names is honoring them.

"Oh, Sorry little Raj, but we need our 10,000 dollars for your life saving medication, even though your government can produce it for 10$. Because that undermines our business model...
I sympathise and very much agree, but that's not what we usually called "killed." Raj may end up dead, but his condition is what killed him, not some greedy, heartless pharmaceutical corp. Blame $deity or Karma. Sucks to be mortal.
I'm very much in favour of eliminating the patent regime. It's unnecessary. Corps have far too much power naturally. They don't deserve any more via politicos passing laws in their favour granting them monopolies.

You must be a patent litigation lawyer; AKA psychopath. I don't think many bad patents have killed any kids. And no, I'm not anti-gun either.

I'm in Canuckistan (the Western part, but not too West). I saw nothing wrong with what they wrote. Obama's always talked a great game, but they're always platitudes. He's never shown the least lick of intention of actually carrying through on stuff that he says.
I'm sure he does have a personal agenda, but you'll never learn what it is just by listening to him.
Monitor, as in desktop? You must be a gamer. I've been using laptops exclusively for most of a decade or two. Desktop, with external monitor?!? Are you crazy? As in, nuts?
Pretty much all these assholes do is violate the Constitution.
Yes. Why am I not hearing more gunfire from down there? Don't shoot kids (or cops). Congress-critters and lobbyists on the other hand,... Yoda: "Lost your backbone, you have?"

Good point. I stand corrected.

Just shows to go ya, you can sell snow to Eskimos. USA!
The USA is increasingly reliant on its "intellectual property rights" now.
Please stop using that empty phrase. It's "imaginary property rights." Just because you pass a law, doesn't make it real.

The "patent troll" misdirection is harming our ability to fix the actual problem.
Yet once you fix that problem, the fuckers sue you in order to break it again. We don't have enough lawyers (preferably politicos) on the ocean floor.

Don't discount Asia. South Korea or Philippines or Malaysia or Russia might help. I'd go with Germans and other Euros (but that's just me).
Worst case, Jason Bourne ... He can make anything work.
