I find it hard to believe this guy was riding with headphones plugged into a dead phone. He claimed the phone was dead, but there doesn't appear to be confirmation. Judge might have done him, and taxpayers, a favor by not looking into phone records to determine if the dude was lying. That's why the law is written as it is.
The nascent studios, facing uneasy public relations , literally decided to get together and give themselves awards.
Stupid Americans bought the act hook, line, and sinker. The Academy Awards is an industry group doing promotion. Their awards are not a meritocracy nor do they reflect any kind of objective standards. WTH is DoJ thinking?
You can't play a game other people host and expect them to lose their own game. If anything, Rotten Tomatoes has made them obsolete, aside from the people who are more concerned with celebrity worship than filmcraft.
This American agrees, I have zero interest in awards shows or who wins, but we aren't the only ones to get sucked up in awards and celebrity worship.
> toxic environment that both sides need to work at fixing
Except doctors believing it's a real disease does nothing to cure it. The researchers are on neither side, but if the community of people with the condition keeps harassing them for doing their jobs, all that will happen is that the research will stop. There's a lot of conditions to research, and a lot of them affect people who won't harass or slander you.
Exactly. There are two legitimate research paths, cause and cure, and symptom treatment. It seems those researching symptom treatment are attacked, which certainly doesn't help sufferers. "cure or bust" doesn't make sense.
There are many types of chronic pain we still don't know the cause of, yet there are many of those people who's lives have been improved from pain management techniques.
Of course there can be more than one process at work, e.g. fishing and warming. Perhaps read the paper and see what they are really talking about. As far as the abstract states, the authors were working to isolate the effect of warming alone on fish stocks.
Perhaps re-read my comment. I never said only one process was at work. I even mentioned the fact that the study claims they can isolate the impact from warming, which is what I was calling bullshit on.
Turns out there was a major problem with the study it said it was.
Also the ocean temperature drops rapidly as you go lower, the ocean temperature just a few feet down is not going to be changing much at all. Lots of fish spend most time below the very top layer.
The decline in fish populations is more likely a result of overfishing, something we should be working against - but thankfully there are quite a lot of fish farms these days, so the supply of fish for the world to eat is not as threatened as the summary makes it out to be.
Human fishing is well known as the key force in seafood population. Clearly it significantly dwarfs any climate based impact to date, so much I can't see how they could fully account for that impact without the rest being in the statistical noise zone, even though they claim they can do that.
However, if some species are know to flourish with warming while others struggle, shifting to fish more of the flourishing ones and less of the strugglers wouldn't be a bad thing to shoot for.
Reading the article, there is no evidence theft is on the rise. Its always been pretty common. I remember the supply room at a plant construction site was called 'the freebee room" where folks helped themselves to work gloves, marker, duct tape, safety glasses, etc. Some of that ended up at flea markets I believe.
I take paper and pads and stuff like that home because I work at home many days. I use my own power, printer ink, internet connection, etc. So there is a very fair trade off if I happen to use some of that paper for a personal task.
So, your 'whataboutism' is OK, mine isn't. Funny person you are.
As for less cops dying, Its telling you find trouble with that.
As for as 'murdering more of us', well, you asked for stats but didn't deliver. The real question is how many in terms of totals and percentage. Its an immensely tiny percentage, and where deaths happen is very very rarely as clear cut as 'murder'.
You hate cops because you've been told to. I suppose you don't even know any.
Yes, there are cases of police abuse. There are cases of regular people abusing others as well. This stuff isn't secret, right?
New skews perceptions, you will hear just about every police related controversial incident, but very many that happen in public will be ignored by the media. You should congratulation them for shaping your skewed POV.
As it turns out, cops are people. Like all other people, most are good, some are awesome, and some are assholes.
Yeah, except their average tends to be significantly less intelligent than the citizenry they are allegedly protecting. Most estimates put the current average IQ of US LE officers at around 93. Why? Because of various boneheaded court decisions. Jordan v New London sided with the police, in that they could set a maximum IQ for hiring. Doesn't matter that their reason for it - a belief that smarter people left the force more quickly - turned out to be wrong. That precedent led to most departments adopting the same standards - basically, people over scoring over 110 need not apply.
The second is the still controversial concept of 'qualified immunity', as set in Harlow v Fitzgerald. Which has been leveraged, hammered, and beaten into the current unrecognizable form. Ignorantia juris non excusat - ignorance of the law is no excuse... EXCEPT if you are a cop! Cases like Pauly v White are now the norm - if the cop thought they were enforcing the law, then they are excused from all wrongdoing, including killing innocent people. This has led to most cops going out of their way to remain ignorant of the actual law. Because - obviously - if you actually knew the law, then you could be held liable for violating it.
Sure, there are a lot of good cops... the problem is that the trend is going the other way
Roasting meat and vegetables are in NO WAY similar to Asian Smog!
It is certainly a different makeup of particulates, which is important. What is missing from this article, as with most FUD articles, is a description of impact on health from a risk perspective. The level of exposure, frequency, toxicity, and the bodies' natural defenses all play a role.
Just as we see with radiation FUD mongers, clear statement of actual real world risk are missing.
One of the buckets wasn't even closed because it was too full to close. Pretending 600x-4000x the SAFE LIMIT for exposure to developing children is "no big deal" is ignorance right from the source. The room was contaminated.
Assuming no children in 20 years either came near enough the open bucket to disturb it, or god help them if they grabbed a handfull of dirt to throw at Billy... you attempting to downplay this stuff continually amazes. You're sick.
Your first motivation should be to try to find out what happened, not blather bullshit about how it's no big deal when you don't even know about it yet. Specimen-grade Uranium chunks are actually very radioactive.
Your apologism may vary.
You should take some time to learn about radiation risk rather than preaching ignorantly at someone who has.
Unfortunately, there is enough radiation risk ignorance that some people might actually stay away and miss the experience. The headline itself is a great example... here's more news.. WE"VE ALL BEEN EXPOSED TO RADIATION FOR YEARS!
NRC 'limits' are so conservatively low you can get many times that exposure with no real world risk.

If you give doctor faked imaging scans, he might diagnose wrong?

The economy isn't "worsening" nor would that be an excuse to steal.
With low unemployment, there are more thieves working today than ever!

There are consequences. We see cops go through investigations, prosecutions, get judged by a public without all the information, etc.
Regular people get away with all kinds of crap as well, such as wife beating, molestation, theft, assault, etc.
And you are free to believe whatever you want to make up, regardless of supporting information.

IQ? Seriously?
You are trying too hard.

Well, its not really a reactor if it can't sustain a reaction.
General media for reporting the preposterous, or, Slashdot editors for even considering it?
I wonder if commercial kitchens have any air quality standards. Those people are in there all day.
I don't know, but I do know restaurant HVAC codes require significant ventilation and exhaust. That's probably what they depend on for air quality.
Though I am eager to put in a range hood because over-the-stove microwaves are disgusting.
Most over the range microwaves have a vent to connect to an exhaust chimney, you can choose that or recirc when you install.
For one, that's what ventilation is for..
Its also what nose hairs are for.

Fortunately there are very few pure Libertarians out there. I'm not sure why people keep fretting over them.
Dollar stores pay less taxes than big grocery stores.
Cities want big grocery stores instead of dollar stores.
Hmmmmm..
