    The Omnibus Foreign Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 amended the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and stated the metric system was "the Preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce". Also said the federal government has a responsibility to assist industry and especially small business, as it voluntarily converts to the metric system .

    Metric system is of course taught in U.S. schools, even since the early 70s (yes, I was there)

  8. Ignorant Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione on Australian Police Move To Make 3D Printed Guns Illegal · · Score: 1

    The normal penetration of the 380 ACP is about 11.5", in the range of recommended self-defense rounds. But his Liberator only made "up to 17 cm", 6.9", in resin?

    He's just proved the Liberator makes the 380 ACP about a quarter as dangerous as a cheap metal firearm.

    "Fucking ignorant sensationalist cunt that doesn't know much about firearms", guess that's the job description for his position.

  20. Re:How do you know that? on EPA Makes a Rad Decision · · Score: 1

    this brings up cool subject, radiation poisoning especially affects the rapidly dividing cells such as the digestive tract. this is why a fatal dose can have initial illness followed by "walking ghost" phase where victim feels some better that can last up to a couple weeks, but their digestive tract (and some other important things) have completely died.

    Point is a fetus is extremely sensitive to radiation being one of those rapidly dividing cell creatures, so heave dose just means the pregnancy is naturally aborted when it dies.

    That's the probable reason behind the "no birth defects" study, there was actually a huge birth defect within a few days of the bomb being an aborted bloody mass.

    yes, there are volumes of misinformation but few legitimate peer-reviewed studies. You don't know what you saw as a child, you might have even seen reels of Tokyo conventional bombing victims with half their face burned off or deformed babies born from mothers with STD

      Birth defects happen for many reasons. It is similar situation of pictures of lepers and other disease victims from the middle east being show and labeled as "Iraqi Depleted Uranium Victim!", or a dessicated body in the desert labeled "White phosphorous victim" (true cause of death being shot in the gut)

    Let's address the birth defects stats, there are NONE attributable to the bomb. zero.

    the total pre-population of surrounding areas wasn't known. there is thus no way to know ratio of natural to unnatural deaths, except the study I mentioned.

    rubbish, robot can fit a server the same way a human does. it's called tolerances, and a system where tenths of an inch of error cause self-correction of a robots actions has been done for decades.
