No, the project there referring to is run by 23andme. My whole family participates in the same research because so many of us have Crohn's disease.

free speech and government oversight

That's not what I read into this at all, but something far more sinister that I see happening in the world right now. Certain power players using "government oversight" as a disingenuous excuse to attack the means for regular people around the world to speak directly to one another without the filters that favor narratives that the power players prefer, and for regular people to coordinate with one another.

The Arab Spring and BLM protests scared some people and it's showing.

They actually do need to fly nose first, believe it or not! The warp bubble created by the nacelle has a front side and a back side. Essentially it bunches up space behind the ship and thins it out in front of the ship, turning space itself into a sort of wave that the ship surfs forward on.

This is what I remember from the TNG Tech Manual anyway

So, first things: There's definitely no provision in this Ohio state amendment that allows partial birth abortions. That's just right wing lies. The Ohio amendment only enshrines the individual right to make one's own medical decisions.

But hypothetically, if it did, then the situation kind of all depends on whether or not the federal government chose to enforce its law or not. We've had that situation with cannabis for a decade now after the first states passed laws legalized cannabis for purely recreational consumption.

Cannabis is still banned by the federal government to this day, but legal in 24 states. Over the course of the past decade, the feds have declined to bother trying to override states on this issue. If a state really and honestly did try to allow partial birth abortions, on the other hand, I think the feds would take them to court over it. A federal lawsuit generally puts the state law on pause until the court case is complete and a final decision is issued.

Basically if there's a conflict between state and federal law, they go to court and ask the court to interpret whether or not the Constitution grants power over that particular issue to the feds or not. The Constitution is written in a way that outlines what powers are granted to the federal government. Whatever isn't explicitly stated in the Constitution is assumed to belong to the state governments.

Fuck capitalism, I agree. But I don't see where a county with any other economic system was ever chomping at the bit to sacrifice to feed the poorest in the world either.

Be angry, but realistic. Don't fetishize revolutions. Revolutions generally kill quite a lot of people, the vast majority of whom are not members of the ruling class

Those people have such a lust for violence and don't care that the poor people they claim to be fighting for will be the ones who suffer most

Standard issue Musk brain rot.

"Shouldn't have satellites" at all vs. "maybe let's not approve this one corporation doing this completely unregulated activity." If you really can't tell the difference between those two things, I can't help you.

"limited to how nonreflective they can get the satellites"

Citation needed.

The smartest workers reap the rewards.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Or we could regulate the reflectivity of satellites. No one is suggesting we shouldn't have satellites. Why don't we do satellites on purpose in a way that still allows us to also do effective astronomy?

And we now have the career experience from working Covid front lines combined with the aftermath of the Great Resignation, making us even more in demand. Yeah, I'm also one of the few doing better financially after Covid than before.

The US federal science agencies are generally pretty happy with sharing things. If it's free to the US public, it's free to the world and I love that. Best possible use of my tax dollars.

(We also share weather and hurricane data with the Caribbean countries, for example. None of them could individually afford what the US is doing, so I'm happy we share.)

No one walks out of any negotiation ever in any situation with everything they were asking for in the beginning. That's how it works.
