Where I live every can do a 48 hour hold before a judge comes by and says let em go. The one time I got pulled in for suicidal ideation I just said "listen, I don't currently have a plan and I've been sucidal for months. You're not going to fix whats wrong with me or reduce my base risk by holding me in 48 hours and I will be AMA with a judge at the end of those 48 hours. Just let me go." And so they did.

It's farming that's causing the demand, not municipal water supplies.

There's known knowns and known unknowns. But you cannot do anything about unknown unknowns. And unknown knowns are the Akashic records but we're not going to get into that.

You would have to lose some sort of color if you use regular retinas to see a larger spectrum. You'd need new retinas with more cones to get new colors.

Absolutely incorrect. Neutron activation will produce more waste in volume than fission, but without the long lived fission products that are really nasty. We don't really have a plan yet on HOW we're going to circulate lithium and recapture tritium and what the waste from that will look like, but we do know it will create a significant amount of waste.

Oh of course, who ever heard of a neoliberal state going off the rails and planning delusional foreign policy. I'm obviously some way off base nutjob for suggesting such a thing. Since you want to deny the genocide that's happening, though, I don't really see the point in continuing.

Of course they're all pronounced the same.

You speak with both sides of your mouth. Somehow America is preventing Iran from invading Israel while also Iran is a loose cannon that will invade anyway. It's horseshit. The one who's going to start a war is Israel. They're the ones committing genocide and they're the ones who actually put boots on the ground in other countries while flagrantly violating the Geneva convention. That's the powder keg the US has enabled and will continue to enable by giving full support to fascist governments. It won't provide stability or security. All it provides is an absolute liability. And you're beyond delusional if you think Americans will accede to the Pentagon's war plans once the bodies start flying in.

So please don't tell me to can it

I've got one thing to say and that's

The actual conviction that a fucking shia state is going to create a hegemony without a belligerent Israel to counterbalance them is laughable. The only reason they get as much support as they do now is because everyone fucking hates us more. Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are plenty to counterbalance Iran when push comes to shove. Though I don't consider the Saudis much better. Pan Arabisim specifically discounts Persians and they will react to Iran being a significant threat, even if Turkey and Egypt play nice right now.

The only thing Israel will give the US is a causus beli to go to war with Iran, which is a war the US certainly does not have the conviction to win.

We do have a lot of experience with their toxin though, since so many other animals people like to eat and play with also use TTX like newts(on their skin itself), pufferfish, and sea slugs. The blue ringed octopuses are just unique in using it as a venom. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507714/

It depends on the dose, but yes you can be conscious with respiratory failure due to TTX. If you get a large enough dose you'll lose vascular tone and go into shock. At that point even CPR may fail to save you because what you really need is vasopressor drugs.

 

A center-left group in the U.S. sees a valuable lesson in the landslide victory of Britain’s Labour Party after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness.

The centrist Democrat think tank Third Way argues in a memo obtained Friday by POLITICO that Labour’s sweeping win shows that “centrism wins elections” and can undercut right-wing populism by appealing to the broadest segment of the population with a credible platform.

 

Warping is throwing an anchor either manually for a small ship or by rowing the anchor out and dropping it farther away for a larger ship. Then the ship would reel it to change position. Good for maneuvering in harbor. Etymologically related to "throwing" and essentially threading a needle across the sea.

Warp factor get you asses in the rowboat. Engage.

 

For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.

Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.

Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

 

President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
