I really can't say how this is being received in or out of Iran, but I remember after the initial strikes there was widespread footage of Iranian exiles celebrating, even on anti-Trump media. Edit: and even people celebrating in Iran i

This seems to be a fairly well thought out war that's already killed many Iranian leaders, including: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – Supreme Leader Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi – Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Major General Mohammad

> The Iranian government is bad, and yes, it should be toppled, eventually, by its own people. You would prefer to tell people in Iran who oppose the regime to take up arms (which they don't have) and fight IRGC soldiers with better

I don't think that's comparable to what happened in Brazil at that time.

That book claims: > Microcephaly incidence increased 1000x within the area of The Network. This was first observed seven months after The Network began its remote prenatal ultrasound program. Do the math. Almost every baby is exposed to

All of those links are for the same book from 2015 (the fourth isn't direct to the relevant article but it's easy to find on the page). Has there been any new information since then?

That policy changed a long time ago. The last declaration of war was June 4, 1942. After Vietnam, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution to limit the ability of Presidents to conduct military action without Congressional approval, but it

For the sake of mutual understanding, let's say Israel are the good guys, Hamas are terrorists, and the IDF is a righteous force whose only goal in Gaza is to capture terrorists. What happens to everyone else in Gaza? Is "starve t

I think the unknown factor here is whether other benefits of keto over a standard American diet--possibly including reduced inflammation, BP, blood glucose, and body weight--balance out the effect of cholesterol. CAC measures actual damage

I agree the results after one year of a keto diet don't prove much, but getting that test seems like a good idea. I hope they'll keep testing and reporting the results for years, so we can learn more about the long term effects of

In short: approximately 4% of the population of the island nation of Tuvalu will migrate to Australia each year. I wonder what life will be like there when half the population have left. Some people will be left living in a mostly abandoned

That is interesting, but the authors point out: > In our study, in situ hybridization detected both mRNA derived from the vaccine and mRNA from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. ... our in situ hybridization method has high sensitivity and could det

That's right, they use N1-Methylpseudouridine instead of uridine (the nucleoside contained in uracil, which is the U in mRNA sequences) to last a bit longer (but not forever) and to avoid triggering immune reactions to the mRNA itself

To be clear, this is something that would be wrapped around a fusion power plant (capturing neutrons produced by fusion), not a viable fusion plant itself nor a way to generate gold from just any power plant, right?

mRNA vaccines like the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines don't enter the nucleus nor have a permanent effect. The mRNA breaks down after a few days.

Alaska's Permanent Fund dividend paid $1,702 last year (for the whole year, not monthly). How is that small amount changing people's lives?

A few thousand? I would think 16 & 17 year olds in the UK would be a couple million people.

Just out of curiosity, you have a very strong opinion about this and I wonder what you're basing it on.

I'm certainly not saying "under 25 are babies who are too young to do anything", but in response, I would point out that if adults weren't working so hard to prevent it, a lot more young people would have babies by 16.

I don't think that's the only possibility, but I am wondering why Once Were Nerd was targeted. Is he famous enough to serve as a good example for a new policy? Did he cut someone powerful off in traffic? Did his videos threaten so

You seem to be saying it's a "ridiculous claim" because you're limiting the word "think" to math homework. The article is using "think" in a broader sense that includes decision making, a process that

It's an oversimplification to be sure, but based on solid science. There's no hard line "with seemingly magical properties" at 25, but there are enormous changes between 16ish and 25ish. The author you cited agrees, on t

Labour was out of power at the time, and Conservatives were in power, so that's not a counterexample.
