I see, so when you said "You cannot buy a kitchen knife" it's in the same way as if you live in the USA "You can't drive a car".

> You cannot buy a kitchen knife because people MAY use it cause harm. Yes I can. I have knives I bought recently in my kitchen. How could you possibly believe that people in the UK can't buy knives? Do you realise how foolish that

Finland's electricity production is already 95% non fossil fuel, so you don't need to worry about them.

Oh in that case you should never have a website at all because you never know what laws you might be contravening.

I think it discards eggs, not embryos, but I'm not an expert. At any rate it still is guidance not dogma.

Yeah, not being a creepy weirdo who tracks anyone who visits your website is such a difficult thing. How can anyone live up to such a standard?

It absolutely means that. If you are a Catholic and believe that a church teaching is wrong, you have a duty to speak up and dispute it. Teachings can be reversed and they are absolutely not binding. These disputes are supposed to be done i

I didn't mention programmers at all in my comment. In fact the first programmers were mainly women because they came from a Computer background.

It's not dogma, it's just advice. And I think the vast majority of people would just ignore it. Frankly, advice on having children from celibate men doesn't need special consideration from women. I say this as someone who was

This is for general elections in the UK overall. Scotland lowered the voting age to 16 for Scottish elections in 2016 (appropriately!) and Wales for Welsh elections in 2020. Both countries failed to fall apart from this measure :)

I have no idea why you think this is a thing, but just in case I subconsciously tend to do this, I set a timer for 2 minutes without touching my face. It was effortless. Edit: wait, I've been in an MRI machine for over an hour where I

They're saying it changed to not being reviewed properly and I'm saying from recent experience that it is.

But that's the opposite of what the person I'm replying to said. They're saying everything is acceptable and I'm saying it's actually reviewed. Ok, maybe that's not what you meant. Peer review doesn't reje

That's kind of what the article is talking about. You can do it in a ferromagnetic material (like in your link) but then you've got the problem that it's a magnet and screwing up everything around it. The idea here is that yo

Exposing children to propaganda that they are ill equipped to deal with is also child abuse. Just because someone can argue better than you can does not mean they are right. Climate change deniers can be very convincing if you don't un
