The allegation in the indictment claims otherwise, hence the indictment and extradition request. Then there’s the rape issue in Sweden, although I really have no idea how that will stand up if it’s reopened. Still, answering those questions

You won’t see anything like that with the naked eye, period. We can’t build up a composite of all photons our eye gathers over 1060 hours! There are places where you can get minimal light pollution and see amazing things though. https:&#x2

You can't argue that being holed up in an embassy is that much better than prison. I’ve seen footage of where he was in the embassy, it’s a lot better than prison. He also didn’t have to be counted five times a day, no one was tryi

No, and why would they? What they could do is tune their radars and missile guidance systems to combat it, and that is a much greater concern. They could also use aspects of the F-35 such as fiber-mat RAM without having to go whole hog on

They also created the KKK to accomplish with terrorism what the legal system and social norms couldn’t rig for them. That really persisted unabated into the late 50’s, and to an extent still exists. The violence has been reduced, but the ec

That’s not A/B testing, or at least not just A/B testing, that’s a full blown psych experiment.

War is messy, imprecise, and inevitably involves unintended (or possibly intended) civilian casualties. It’s a great argument for avoiding wars that aren’t absolutely necessary.

Remember the initial human trials were using it systemically to control blood sugar, and specifically looked for carcinogenesis. Obviously there’s room for something to have been overlooked, but in the narrow case of this particular molecul

The article makes the point that despite human trials originally, and later one-cell zebrafish embryo tests, no sign of carcinogenesis was detected. They further explain that given its limited range within the body, it only impacting damage

I agree with most of what you’ve said, but I’m curious about whether or not YouTube actually makes money. I was under the impression that on a good day it just about breaks even, but has that changed?

Speaking as a Jew, while this is accurate, it’s not that common in the US among non-orthodox families. There was a poll of American Jews a while ago that found less than a quarter keep kosher.

I’m the same, I’ve been in extreme pain before and just lived with it, but discomfort drives me up the wall. I had an impinged nerve in my neck and it took me months to see a doctor, who was shocked that I hadn’t come screaming in on day

I ask this every time a Yelp story emerges: where is the evidence commensurate to the claim about Yelp’s reputation? It would make a fantastic news story, any reporter would leap at it, so where is it? Every time I ask this people “cite” Re

I’d trust a reputable news outlet to do the vetting of the story, but that never seems to happen with these Reddit posts. They just become cultural artifacts and get repeated ad nauseum.

Nothing about this seems credible or interesting enough to be posted here. These stories emerge every so often, and they rarely seem to exist beyond Reddit. I’d be interested in this if it could be verified, but as it is this is internet ru

The downside to all of this, in the faraway future (I am currently 42 years old) is that "heart trouble" might manifest itself during exercise in a sudden and acute fashion that leaves me dead. On the other hand, the exercise mak

Putting aside the bait, the whole story with a Kinder Eggs has become a tale told to illustrate a point, but the story itself is nonsense. The US didn’t specifically ban them, they simply fall under a (sensible) pre-existing law and no one
