Even an arrest is temporary if we haven't thrown out due process. Habeas Corpus means a judge has to look at things, and decide to extend the detention until trial. Also, the trial has to be "speedy".
It's probably not good that there is a mechanism for legally detaining someone for months without them being an imminent threat to themselves or others. But, that's been status quo as long as I've been drawing breath, so I'm used to it.
"sign jokes" are probably written by "the room". Everyone tosses out 2-3, and the whoever is running the room for that episode picks one. They might even keep a backlog for these since they don't really have to be related to the episode plots/topics. Simpsons and Futurama also have them in many episodes, but Bob's Burger's is the only show I know that always has one (two if you count the "Burger of the Day").
I've never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from "throwaway" French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.
So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.
I disagree that an IQ restriction would be an improvement. It would just be another tool used by authority to marginalize. Competency tests have been used as such in both the U.S. South and Nazi Germany.
Improving the electorate and having the output of the voting process reflect their will is the only way forward.
Honestly, I don't like either programmability approach (vimscript/lua OR emacs-lisp), but I'll probably just stick with neovim, because when I'm on a system without my configuration, I've more productive there, and I don't want to learn enough emacs-lisp "APIs" to reproduce my somewhat small vim configuration.
All of this early research, led to suspicion that aluminium from various sources, such as cookware, foods, vaccines and even water, could be linked to Alzheimer’s.
However, through continued investigation, research has disproved this early evidence, and aluminium hasn’t since been found to be a direct cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Almost all scientists today focus on other areas of research, and most experts believe aluminum does not pose any threat.
We do need to work on election reform so that our elected representatives are more representative. Getting more people to vote (turn out in the U.S. is fairly low), avoiding partizan gerrymandering, using something other than FPtP.
I've done some body-weight stuff (sit-ups, push-ups, squats), but I can't really get a good aerobic exercise inside the house.
I have a pretty good grasp on what I'm cooking anyway. I have my own spreadsheet where I extracted the Nutritional Information label (or looked up bulk foods on fat secret website), to plan to keep my calories until 14000/wk and keep my sodium down. For me, it was easiest to go vegan: beans, quinoa, greens, nooch, plant milk. I have been eating out more, and that's no on there, nor do they publish nutritional information (local family chain). But, I also get the "vegetarian" faire there (there's a white sauce so I'm pretty sure there's dairy in it) but I know I can skip a couple of my meals to roughly balance that, caloricly at least. That got me down the first hundred. I still need to lose more, but it's harder now; I used to be closer to a gym... among other things.
You can do single-blind. You do prep, anesthetize, then open the card that decides if the surgery continues, or if the patient is simply awakened at the expected time.
You can also do it for surgeries that use locals, but then the surgical staff has to do a lot of miming/acting instead of actual cutting.
Medlife Crisis did a couple of Placebo effect videos, and mentioned that he participated in a single-blind stent study.
