If you want to seriously debate, you must look at what is said, not who said it.

Stark got a physics Nobel prize in 1919 (see Stark effect) and the fact that he subsequently became an enthusiastic Nazi in no way invalidates that.

I should have been a little more specific. These inventions were incandescent electrically heated filaments. But arc lamps preceded them and Cragside had one of those.

Old joke from UK in 1948.

Q. What is it that a duck can't do, a swan can do and every doctor must do from 5 July (date NHS started)?

A. Stick his bill up his ass.

Thanks for the detail. Was there a precedent for calling a half-Senate election?

If Australia had been a republic would the president have had the power the governor exercised?

I am not taking a stance on this. I vaguely recall the event but still don't understand the arguments.

What would have happened had he not been sacked, given he could not get his budget through parliament?

Nice. Since getting my hearing aids I can hear them for the first time in twenty years.

Cragside: The World’s First House To Have Electric Lights

Swan was at least the co-inventor of the electric light bulb. Edison bought the patents. I can remember seeing light bulbs bearing the brand name "Ediswan". You can still see them at Cragside.

Good news. Not sure what proportion of the time it will be snow clad.

Beautiful. Sadly my handwriting has always been terrible. My physics teacher insisted on my best (inadequate) efforts.

After writing an imposition for a prefect I was asked to show him my physics practical book. His response was "Good Lord, that really is your best handwriting!" 🤪

Whatever would FR Leavis have made it this?

As to how to interpret it that is up to believers

Mathew ch10
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Allegedly, Socrates disapproved of writing because the only important message was delivered face to face by the author.

She needs counselling and reassuring that she is better than she thinks.

As for calculators, I encouraged my kids to do all arithmetic no matter how complicated, in their heads, to one significant figure. Then at least they would not be out by several orders of magnitude on the calculator.

The law does not make terrorists of anyone protesting genocide. To assert otherwise is a straight up lie.

You could legally, I think truthfully, write "Israel is guilty of genocide".

It only prohibits asserting support for Palestine Action.

If you can accept a lifetime ban on foreign travel, OK.

Hard to predict consequences of such an arrest. But I will try. Likely outcome is a fine AND a life-time ban on all foreign travel. No country is going to allow a visit from someone with a conviction for terrorism, however "technical".

You have fallen for a straight up lie. You can have a poster protesting genocide and accusing Israel of it. Unless you also support Palestine Action, which is allegedly a terrorist group, the police can't touch you.

Bit of a side issue and ancient history but when a few bottles of Tylenol were poisoned by malefactors in stores the manufacturer withdrew $100,000,000 of product from sale and replaced all packs with tamper evident seals. In this at least they did the right thing at high cost to themselves.

What a private health insurer wants is that people are long term sick with repeat scripts and co-payments.

In UK private clinics do elective surgery but if there are complications patients are quickly dumped back into NHS care.

Yes but up to about the early 1960s the Southern Democrats did that. It was LBJ who signed the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Would JFK have got around to it?

But for the ruinous mistake of the Vietnam war he would be recorded as a great reforming president.

Hi Jim. It is asserted by some that tests for quantum entanglement over long distances between satellites give greater error margins because allegedly does not hold true over all distances. Might be weaknesses in detectors, else some other theory required. Any worthwhile references?

"We see correlation values drop with distance which is what you'd expect with the local loophole."

Examples and references please.

There is as yet no vaccine for rheumatic fever, but work is on the way.

I was in hospital for three months at the age of three with this. Enforced bed rest saved my heart. But god-like doctors limited parental visits to once a month and that was not good psychology.

But under NHS it was free.

Typo? I think you mean privatising.

Not personal expertise but:
• if a boat like that does not stop an armed helicopter shoots out the engines
• loud hailer command to all on board to throw weapons into the sea
• shoot anyone who does not
• rappel down to the boat and handcuff everyone
• you never need to blow it up

Oh yes.

Naomi Wolf got a PhD for "research" saying boys were hanged for consensual gay sex. No! "Death recorded" means it could have carried the death penalty but they got prison. Some cases were not consensual.

"Dr" Wolf sounds off on the dangers of vaccines!
Naomi Klein confused with her!!!

I live in Sheffield Hallam and voted for him in 2005 but not 2010 because I could see he was lying about student fees.

In his first month he blocked a loan to Forgemasters, vital for defence.

Should have been "confidence and supply" not coalition.

No honest person ever worked for Facebook.

Plainly untrue.
Christian terrorists in Serbia and elsewhere including New Zealand.
Hindu terrorists in India.
Buddhist terrorists in Myanmar (Burma).
etc...

And of course almost all are US citizens. We had one mass school shooting in 1996 (Dunblane) after which almost all handguns were banned. None since then.

THIS is legal in England. IF you can convince the police you are law abiding and of sound mind.

Great for shooting a flock of ducks. Not practical for attacking kids. If you really want to show off, try one of these. Usually installed on a boat, not shoulder fired. 1-guage.
