There's no widespread infanticide happening as far as i can tell

Just a little female infanticide going on.

This has already been put to rest by the scientists, unsurprisingly.

It's much more common among those who got covid without having had the vaccine (either on those who had covid before the vaccine, or those who didn't take it).

Well, technically the French did not found Britain - they were Normans.

Who were the Normans? They were Scandinavian vikings who had been raiding France for decades. Eventually the French king decided to offer them lands (now called Normandy) in France if they promised to stop raiding and instead protect the French coast.

Better: Above 60°C pasteurizes the contents so killing all bacteria.

Technically pasteurization is met by holding the food over a specific temperature for a specific time, so over 63-65°C for 30 minutes, or 100°C for 12 seconds.

Normal pasteurization is very similar to cooking in times and temperature, and so pasteurization cooks both the food, altering texture, appearance and taste, and the bacteria.

UHT means ultra high temperature pasteurisation, which heats, eg, milk well over 100°C for only a couple of seconds and immediately cools it, minimizing the alteration of the milk.

So, by keeping the stew over 70°C, the stew is completely food safe.

Global climate change and rising sea levels were predicted more than 100 years ago, and specific warnings for low-lying areas like Florida have been given by scientists for decades.

But people, especially the 'pull yourself by you bootstraps' and 'no gubmint handouts' people, have conveniently believed politicians of a specific party and chose to invest in buying this property.

Why should these people be bailed out now? Why should they be rescued rather than the socioeconomically disadvantaged?

That language is at a very much higher grade level and complexity to that of the current political discourse. Wow.

The alternative is that the Russians kill Ukrainians and probably committing war crimes while doing so. As long as Putin continues this barbarism, there will be thousands of deaths per day. How do you want to distribute these between the Ukrainians and the Russians?

While the powers are separated, if all three are aligned there is nothing they can't do. The supreme court has already demonstrated it's able to reinterpret the constitution in a way no other court has done in history.

I'd love the pigeons shitting all over Trump and his cavalcade for the next 4 years, but look at me, living in cloud cuckoo land...

The items you bring up are outside the control of the DNC and its members. How can the DNC change media ownership or block Russian astroturfing?

The press is motivated both by its oligarchic owners and also by popularity. We can't change the former (certainly whole out of power), but we can make policy and targeting changes that make Democrats popular, and it follows that what the news reports will change.

Spotted an owl in the woods in Bishan Park in central Singapore early in the evening. Logically this makes it a spotted wood owl.

Sorry for the low quality - it was at the limits of my Pixel 6 camera.
