Well, the UK doesn't have a constitution, so technically you're correct in mentioning that, but it should also be said that something like this happening in Europe is beyond shocking. It sounds like an April's fool joke. But

Yep, a random one, and one where a) you take damage before the body figures it out, and b) it's pretty random which protein the immune system manages to identify (basically: The first one which identifies the virus), which may as well

What experiment? Unlike medicine, vaccines use the body's own mechanism just the way the body itself uses it. By exposing the body to something potentially dangerous, the only difference to "natural" infection is that in the

Your body is also an infection vector for other people's bodies.

No, the mRNA are templates for Covid-19 spike proteins, and the body learns to recognize (and develop an immune response) to said proteins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_vaccine

Borland would definitely have had a chance with Turbo Pascal on the Apple II (if there had actually been a 6502 version available), for a couple of reasons: - Speed - Size Speed: I used Apple Pascal as well as Turbo Pascal for the same purp

As jasode said. Borland's low pricing was a revolution and suddenly made it possible for hobbyists to get a real compiler without paying a fortune. This created an explosion of activity back then. We all jumped on Turbo Pascal for CP&#

That's some particular Etihad setup then? When I travel there's often codeshare involved, but as long as the ticket (and the boarding pass shows this) is from the airline I booked with, then I get lounge access (if my ticket allow

The finer the resolution, the more narrow the scanner path is (and in any case satellite scanner paths aren't that wide, also for low-resolution optical scans). The Umbra satellite swath is a tiny 4km wide. And then along-track as well

Dogs have instincts, and that's the problem. Apparently you can trigger one of those by approaching a dog from behind and put your hand on the dog's shoulder. At least that's the explanation I've seen for when a kind dog

The article in the post includes a link to exactly that. The hypothesis is that groups of humans one way or another weeded out the too aggressive ones, and thereby made it possible to actually create groups (where "aggressive" her

But you don't notice that speed.. (ref. Newton and Einstein and others). I agree with those saying it must be psychological.. well, mostly. Sometimes you do physically notice that you're facing backwards. At takeoff, for example.

They can be rotated, but that's supposed to be done by train personnel when changing directions. That's the primary purpose. The only time you're allowed to rotate them yourselves is when you're e.g. a group of four - th

Japanese limited express trains and the bullet train have very few stops (or none, depending), and the ride is very smooth.. still, my wife (Japanese) can't sit backwards-facing without getting sick. Not sure what causes this.

It was simply phased out at some point, like so many other processors. I think it's wrong to say it was "doomed". For one of the minicomputer systems I worked with until around 1995 all the interface boards used m68k CPUs and

Same here, so I was scratching my head about the need for this. For the turntables that for some reason didn't have this (one example would be one I built myself) you could get cheap strobe discs which you just put on the turntable, ki

Huh? I read that comment and didn't find it problematic at all. I myself remember scenes, in detail, from before I was three years old. Some things will stick forever in memory, under certain circumstances.

"Maybe a clue about the real origin of the photos". No. It's simply the _commercial product_ the police used for markers. It shows both cm and inches. You don't think that the police themselves are actually manufacturing

As someone growing up in relatively close contact with Finnish, I can assure you that there's no real common ground between Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian) and Finnish. There are loan words, but they are few and far
