Just to be clear, a third party can definitely arise in America (it has happened before), but the FPTP system means that one of the existing parties must die in the process.

I like that you got all the way to nerve coatings before you were confused. "MS treatment a step closer after drug shown to..." was all fine :)

His point is not that nuclear power is not dangerous, his point is that according to his theory, humans will get complacent and walk-back regulations when nothing happens, leading to potential nuclear accidents that were needless.

Sorry but I disagree (partially). Where I agree is that covert agents operating abroad are by-definition criminals. Foreign governments don't give permission for spies to be present, and they break all sorts of their nations host law

This is absolutely incorrect. On day one of one of my university courses on negotiation, we did a group exercise that demonstrated anchoring. For those unaware of the concept it's that a final negotiated agreement tends to be strongl

Not here in NL. My monthly premium for myself and child is around €130 for a premium plan with a €500 yearly deductible, and most normal costs and doctors visits are excluded fro this. I had an injury that required surgery and physical th

That ‘only’ difference is a very big one, and they are completely aware that their software will be misused and are happy to make a profit with it. To say, ‘we will only sell our software to countries who promise not to use it to violate hu

Man this happens all the time, especially for products (which I kind of understand). I was doing some research on camping equipment. Google leads me to a US page. But since I'm in NL, it redirects me to an NL domain, which is a total

For me, university was a bit more about direction-finding and serendipity. Few places can expose you to very different things in both a structured and unstructured way as college. When I started university I was a returning student with a

This is quite different. The ghost flights you describe are empty flights, only flown with a skeleton crew to avoid losing an airport slot. The ghost airline in the article is one that flies actual paying passengers, but isn't advert

It’s possible to run a greenhouse with green energy. It’s not possible to do that with jet airplanes.

Let’s also not forget that it began there in the first place, and there is a serious probability that this particular disease could have been completely avoided in humans. People have been saying, for years, that the ‘wet markets’ of exotic

That spying is the status quo is not really the concern of a UK court. In this case, the court does not care about whether or not agents in the UK were breaking US law, or even if there is some treaty between friendly nations to give them

This can't be overstressed. Spies are, by the nature of their work, criminals. Even if their presence and activities are known by friendly countries (e.g. CIA operating in UK), they are usually operating outside the host countries le

This is a ‘slippery slope’ fallacy, and your example even demonstrates its unlikelihood. Cigarettes have been around for a very long time, and the act of smoking them long-term is basically terminal behavior (which we’ve also known about f

Somehow in most of the apartments I've lived the toilet was always really close to the dryer. So for many many years I would just throw everything from the lint trap into the toilet to be flushed next time I use the restroom. Without

Neat, but what I really want is a dynamic abstraction layer above this, similar to DNS. I'd like a unique code that translates to a physical address (or a system like this, or both), but is adjustable by me. Verified by sending a phys

I'm very much in agreement here, I'm glad someone's investing into researching the tech, as we may need to use it even after we've stopped burning dinosaurs. What I do like about it is that it quantifies how much it cost

Ubiquiti makes a consumer version which I've been using in my house for about two years (AmpliFi). It's quite good and what I recommend to non-techie friends.

I can really echo this way of thinking. I chose this role because I knew it was flexible (sometimes by choice, sometimes by chance), which means the downtime is built-into the price. I frequently (happily) take days off to be with my daugh

Absolutely. To some degree I understand overselling†, and I also know that airlines don't know who's going to show or not, but passengers should be made aware and given options. With non-refundable tickets you're committed
