I thought "developmental disorders" with origins in the woumb are "birth defects". Just because you don't look to see if your baby has arms until he's 13 doesn't mean it wasn't a birth defect.
Or are people trying to avoid calling it a "birth defect" because of some stigma attached to that term?
I was around in the '80s, but I've never been right or left (both think I belong to the other side, and I'm not centrist either). So I must not have latched on to the PC growth in the feminists before the conservatives took it on as a self parody.
Wow. They had spandex 2000 years ago?! I had no idea that polymers were explored so thoroughly in Biblical times.
They didn't use the trademarked term. Apparently God is afraid of a trademark lawsuit, so didn't say "spandex" explicitly, but Deuteronomy 22:11 does mention not using mixed fibers (depending on translation, I haven't read the original).
But seriously, if the bible explicitly "forbids" something, why is that ban any less than the supposed ban on homosexuality?
I think digging a city out, and filling the gap with a new material that moves in an earthquake, absorbing the waves, or reflecting them, protecting the city. No need for anything active to make a seismic cloak.
The first point is: those are his personal views, not those of his company. Attempting to punish the entire (large) project because of the opinions of one person is just stupid.
The CEO *is* the company. All other employees exist (as employees) solely to execute his will. Thus I think it appropriate to punish the Directors/Shareholders of a company that would appoint such a person to CEO. His personal views are the views of the company. That's how CEO works.
His "personal view" is that gays are so abhorent that he'll spend his personal money to try to deny them rights. That's not a "view". Nobody is complaining about his opinion. He made a firm action based on that opinion, and it's the fact he acted on it that's the issue. It's no longer "just an opinion".
But it's the conservatives that invented political correctness. It was a joke. "You mean I can't call a fucking nigger a fucking nigger anymore? Ha ha ha." A case of the Right parodying the Left, and Invoked Poe's Law.
At least, that's how it appeared at the time, and I live through the birth of PC.
MVP from Wikipedia is a number selected based on external pressures in a "wild" population. A controlled environment has a lower number. And humans in the wild are still in a controlled envionment, as they control their own environment. Of course, the proof to this would be finding 100 isolated islands and putting groups of 10 50 100 and other numbers on them and seeing if they are growing or shrinking populations 250 years later. But there may be practical issues with that experiemnt.
Do you know of any class 4 labs that have any failure?
If there was, would they be allowed to talk about it?
I've read lots of the conspiracy theories, and they say so. It's not like a hermetic seal is in place, otherwise, why would they be so anal about making sure they are negative pressure facilities? So if the power fails, at least one of the "security measures" is compromised. And no, I've not been in one. They don't allow tours.
You will never run across imaginary numbers in the course of 99.9% of applied math (I've not seen a cash register spit out a price as pi*SQRT(-1)). So it's an obscure example. But most of the lies to children are just from lazy (or often ignorant) speakers. "Why are sunsets red" is a common question. Most parents lie to their children because they don't know the answer. I explained the answer, then bought a prisim to further explain the answer. If he says "that's enough" then I know he got all he wants. I don't beat him up with information, but I won't lie about an answer because it's easier than the correct answer.
I agree they will deny the price match, but I think that they should lose in court if charged with false advertising or fraud. If it's an identical item (regardless of model number), then it's identical for many wordings of price matches. At least the LG washer I bought at Best Buy was "unique" to Best Buy. There was no other place that had the green one. Even if the white one was 100% identical to the "public" one, with an extra letter on the generic model number.
And the Toshiba laptop I bought was also unique. The same "model" was available in 1,000,000 places, but only Best Buy sold the one with that exact RAM/HD combination. It also was unique to Best Buy.
Of course, both of the items I mention were cheaper at Best Buy. I could buy a worse spec model of the laptop from Toshiba directly for about twice the price. (this was 5+ years ago now, for the laptop that became the Qosmio, the generation before they put a new name on the 18.4", and I think I got the canceled line after it was officially canceled, despite being a strong gaming laptop for $600)
Just because LG puts a Best Buy-only code on items sold there and Wal-Mart-only code on items sold there doesn't mean they aren't the same. But yes, I've run into that at Best Buy before. The issue with Wal-Mart is that you can find Levi's there, or in the Gap, and one might assume they are equivelent. But often they aren't. Wal-Mart pressures suppliers into actual differences (cheaper fabric) so they can sell it cheaper than anyone can sell the original. Often the item at Wal-Mart is *actually* inferior.
The willingness of the people to promote their own downfall is the reason we are in the fix we are in. Wal-Mart wouldn't work if people didn't shop there.
There were no common video game consoles around when I was 3. But I've seen plenty of people give a child a tablet and send them to their room. There are entire sets of videos aimed at babies (under 1). "Your Baby Can Read" is one such system. Of course, it also came with flashcards (have to justify the silly price somehow). But yes, you could just pop in the tape and walk away, come back later and change tapes.
That's what I'd expect from Jenny McCarthy, who gave her child autism and cured it. It's possible the child was under-socialized because of bad parenting. Then over-socialized to grow up with other, currently undiagnosed, problems (like having Jenny McCarthy as a parent). Had she not been a bad parent in the first place, there would never have been an issue, but she blamed it on vaccines because every parent is the best parent ever. Or so they think.
And I detest the lie to children. They can handle it. There's no reason to go into complex numbers when discussing SQRT(4). Let SQRT(-4) be something they learn later. It isn't a lie to say "that's complex, we'll cover that in a couple years". But you can still cover square roots without lying about negatives.
(I suspect most adults get lost at the complex logarithm and the need of a cut)
Could it be because they were lied to so long about it? There's no benefit to the lie, other than to the speaker (not having to explain why they won't explain it now). That makes it a black lie, not a white one.
They also want to make sure to blame someone else. Raising their child by making them watch TV for 12 hours a day didn't have anything to do with it, Jenny McCarthy said it was vaccines and diets.
I'm not saying TV did it, but me personal theory is that we have "triggers" we don't yet understand, and life has changed in the past 50 years, and those years have triggered some triggers, and the resulting children are "different". The problem with autism is the assumption that "different is bad". That, and the diagnoses have become more aggressive. Yes, I'm yet another self-diagnosed asperger's, but I was also formally diagnosed with "unknown" back in the '70s. Back before there was such a push to put a label on a high-functioning person who was "different". Much like CEOs are sociopaths, they don't get diagnosed because there's no reason to.
And I'll never be anything but self-diagnosed. The advice from the person who failed to diagnose me 30+ years ago was to never get diagnosed. Having a documented "mental illness" makes you a second-class citizen, just above "ex-con". Insurance costs more, and can be denied. Job applications can ask for it, but not officially use it in hiring, but you can't ever really prosecute them for it. So don't get officially diagnosed with anything, if it can be avoided.
And they are finding cancer genes and other genes linked to diseases (some, like hemophilia, manifest before breeding age). So how do those persist, if there is no benefit? Or is there some benefit to hemophilia that I don't know about?
I see you have fallen for the autism myth.
Statistically, autistic children are not more likely to be interested or good at those things.
Since you have seen the statistics, is there anything that autistic children are more interested in? The way I heard it, because autistic children are less interested in socializeing and team sports, they are at least proportionately more interested in everything else by default.
If they aren't more interested in other things, as you assert, what are they more interested in, presuming you don't disagree they are less interested in socializing and team sports?
Multiple airlocks are employed and are electronically secured to prevent both doors opening at the same time.
And when these labs, often remote, have power failures, how do the doors lock? They don't. They are Fukishima safe - "we'll never lose mains power at the same time as the generators being out". Though it has happened at BSL4 labs before.
All air and water service going to and coming from a biosafety level 4 (or P4) lab will undergo similar decontamination procedures to eliminate the possibility of an accidental release.
Until they violate standards because the amount of water going in and out can't be handles when one of the many devices in the chain of cleaning is out. Yes, that's happened before too.
Standards are great, but as anyone in computers knows, having standards doesn't mean adherence to them. You only need to meet them once every audit. And if the lab is government, the inspectors and lab are funded by the same group, so there''s a conflict of interest. What could possibly go wrong?
It's close enough that it's suspected deer swim to it from CT, but remote enough that it has issues in storms. And it isn't protected inside the long island sound, but is at the tip of long island, getting worse and more open-ocean weather than the sound would provide. If "isolated" means "scientists working there have neighbors who work in NYC" then yes, it's isolated. About as "isolated" from major population centers as if it were on Ellis or Liberty islands.

It was a metaphor.
A metaphor for what?
Once he came, those laws were, in essence, fulfilled.
But Jesus never condenmed homosexuality, did he?

When the argument is "If I don't understand it, then it's a waste of time and money" there isn't anything to counter.
"Have you given money to an organization with the intention of denying rights to others?" is a better way of wording the question.
The Bible says that homosexuality is a sin... period...
The Bible also says that spandex is a sin. Yet I don't see lines of Christians pushing for bans on it. Why?
The only reason I can think of is that the Bible is the excuse for denying the right, not the generator of the hate.

When you get that kind of shift in your results, your first question as a researcher should be: how did my methodology change
And what when it's not your methodology? You count the number diagnosed by others. That number is changing. It isn't a fault in your methodology.
So it's not a genetic disease, but a birth defect?
