And your point is? Think carefully, If people are not enthused by the Republican candidate, they are not going to bother voting for that candidate. The voter turnout was typical of this type of election. Would you have said the same thing to excuse the Democrat loss when the Republican candidates won the election a few years ago? I don't think so. The Republic margine were cut in half in the Florida special elections. This suggests a change of heart is underway. It need not be large to have a significant impact.

Why? There is no need for that. Multiple warheads at a site are not going to significantly increase the zone of destruction. If you want overkill, Russia can use its largest nuclear warhead, the tsar bomb Effect distances for a 50 megaton airburst*: Radiation radius (500 rem😞 3.14 km (30.9 km²) 500 rem ionizing radiation dose; likely fatal, in about 1 month; 15% of survivors will eventually die of cancer as a result of exposure. Fireball radius: 5.16 km (83.6 km²) Maximum size of the nuclear fireball; relevance to damage on the ground depends on the height of detonation. If it touches the ground, the amount of radioactive fallout is significantly increased. Anything inside the fireball is effectively vaporized. Minimum burst height for negligible fallout: 4.16 km. Heavy blast damage radius (20 psi😞 8.91 km (249 km²) At 20 psi overpressure, heavily built concrete buildings are severely damaged or demolished; fatalities approach 100%. Often used as a benchmark for heavy damage in cities. Optimal height of burst to maximize this effect is 6,700 m. Moderate blast damage radius (5 psi😞 20.7 km (1,350 km²) At 5 psi overpressure, most residential buildings collapse, injuries are universal, fatalities are widespread. The chances of a fire starting in commercial and residential damage are high, and buildings so damaged are at high risk of spreading fire. Often used as a benchmark for moderate damage in cities. Optimal height of burst to maximize this effect is 11,500 m. Light blast damage radius (1 psi😞 54.3 km (9,270 km²) At around 1 psi overpressure, glass windows can be expected to break. This can cause many injuries in a surrounding population who comes to a window after seeing the flash of a nuclear explosion (which travels faster than the pressure wave). Often used as a benchmark for light damage in cities. Optimal height of burst to maximize this effect is 17,210 m. Thermal radiation radius (3rd degree burns): 60 km (11,300 km²) Third degree burns extend throughout the layers of skin, and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves. They can cause severe scarring or disablement, and can require amputation. 100% probability for 3rd degree burns at this yield is 13.6 cal/cm².

Some people have Chicken Little syndrome. Any change in a procedure, even one that they only encounter infrequently induces wailing and complaining. One finds them in the workplace, always resisting improvements or updates of procedure or workflows.

Your complaints were shown to be spurious and without merit. Deal with it. And get ready to be treated like a pariah when you disrupt the lines at arrival.

The voters delivered a far more significant majority to Judge Crawford than they did for Trump in the November election. 55% (compared to 49.6% that Trump had , and Harris at 48.74%) The loss cannot be spun away no matter how mmany insults the toadies want to make in this thread. Musk has already indicated he is leaving Doge within the next 30 days. So no. What it does show is that Musk's disgusting attempt to buy votes alienated voters. I interpret it a different way. In a Marquette poll conducted in late February, most Wisconsin voters said they did not know enough about either Supreme Court candidate to have an opinion about them. About two out of five said they had no opinion of Schimel. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2025/03/06/wisconsin-supreme-court-voter-guide-brad-schimel-candidate-election/78193205007/ I think it was indeed a retreat by some former Trump supporters who now have buyer's remorse. Many people did not want to see the state regress to the previous situation where the legislature and the Governor were constantly feuding and some legislators forced their extremist views on others. The change came from former Republican voters. Are you interested in pursuing a romantic relationship? Asking for a friend. and bothered?

Is this a side effect from your enema regime? Were you wearing your incontinent undergarment?

Your comment made sense. And of course some twit had to leave a funny face emoji.

They will need some anti aircraft and radar blocking assistance similar to what the French previously provided when the Israelis sent 100 aircraft to visit Iran.

I gave you an example of what happens when a Cruise Missile is detonated. The radiation modeling is for a common NUCLEAR PAYLOAD.

The New York Post is a partisan publication. The mention of the councilwoman by a Republican leaning tabloid is in part political. She was vocal in highlighting the issue, but the way the post writes it that she was the only public official who cared. Dov Hikind, the former Democrat state assembleman was with her on the issue, and she had the backing of Americans Against Anti-Semitism, which was founded by Hikind. Inna is a remarkable woman, and apparently quite principled. She trounced a Democrat in a solidly Democrat district, earning a large majority (64%). .She is an mmigration attorney with a reputation for helping people in desperate situations. Interestingly, she did not receive the endorsement of the Jewish community political group in her district - it went to the Democrat. The Physicians Against Antisemitism is known as the go to group for health professionals who believe that they are being harrassed in the workplace by some people who bring their political views to work. This is the group that advocated on behalf of the concerned employees at Mt. Sinai. I follow them because of the very shocking cases that they document. The hatred is palpable, not just against jews but against host countries. It is concerning to see health workers advocate for violence in Europe, Australia, Canada and the USA and they are always the same type of people. In respect to your question, Would the same treatment be given to a Jewish health professional posting about killing all Palestinians? IWell, let me know when there are documented cases of that occurring at a US hospital. I would expect the response would be harsher, but until there are a proportional number of cases involving non muslims/non arabs, we won't know for sure.

The man was able to get 10 additional years after his diagnosis of laryngeal cancer thanks to chemotherapy and surgery. 20 years ago, he probably would have gotten 5 years at best. Hopefully, medical advances can continue to be made.

The people feigning concern, really are just old farts afraid of progress. They want to hold everyone back because they are frightened of a modernized, improved way of collecting and processing information. Your fear has already been answered, but you are so intent on lecturing everyone and pushing your ignorant fear that you don't want to use common sense. What happens now when there is a power disruption? There are backup power supplies. And even when they fail, there is a contingency plan in effect. What would you do now if the immigration processing system is disrupted? The Heathrow electrical shutdown was for the terminals, not critical systems like ATC and security. Those systems continued to operate. Heathrow had electricity to continue operating, but it was Heathrow Chief Operating Officer Javier Echave who took the final decision to close the airport at 1.44am, because he wanted to protect the airport infrastructure during a reboot.The airport CEO Thomas Woldbye had chosen to go to bed and leave the final decision with his COO. Beathrow's problem is looking more like human error and poor management than actual structural failure. How do you know things "work fantastic" without a TM6? When did you take on responsibility for the Thai tourism industry? Who are you to dictate to Thailand what information they should collect? Thailand wants to know the demographics of its visitors and that is one of the reasons for many of the questions on the TM6. You have the option of not completing the card and not entering Thailand. It's not like you and the other low income, low education complainers contribute anything of significance to the country. Spoken like a miserable chronic complainer. No you do not need a phone for everything. What you need is a communication capability. A mobile phone is a part of a communication platform. You can obtain the same access using another form of electronic communication. You want the world to remain in an era of snail mail, and where a fax is considered a novel method of sending information. Get it through your head, that the world is evolving. Adapt, or be left behind and perish. Most people are using electronic methods of communication. It is more resilient, more efficient and allows catastrophe recovery.

Bangkok International Airport - I am delighted when I arrive, and when I depart. Suan Son Beach - Relatively clean and usually sparsely populated.

The Afghanis in pakistan often have tribal connections or for tens of thousands of them, are awaiting a decision on their claim for refugee status in Canada, EU and the USA. A large number are in Pakistan because they made the mistake of backing the USA in its war. They join a long list of people who made the mistake of aligning with US interests over the past 75 +/- years. No, I do not expect the USA to take them in, nor should it. However, as they were in large part a creation of the US war in Afghanistan, I would expect that the USA would contribute to the care for these people in Pakistan. One of the reasons Pakistan has to send them back is that it cannnot afford to care for 3 million refugees.

Nothing new. A few years ago we were reading about fires and sinkings and there was a much publicized "crackdown".

Well said. King Charles is the King for everyone, and as others have pointed out muslims, are loyal subjects with many serving in the military, government and contributing to society. If good enough to die for the UK, then good enough to get some dates.

How about looking at the films themselves instead of going off on personal political diatribes? The films are mostly a poor rendition of the Ian Fleming novels, which reflected the era that they were written in and Fleming's military experience. Mirren has a point, particulary with the awful Roger Moore period in the 1970's when the movies were idiotic camp exercises. The US producers forced a pandering and ignorant characterization that was never intended. Ian Fleming saw Bond as a sophisticated, suave gentleman, which is why he wanted David Niven, a veteran of WWII, for the role. Niven was a graduate of Sandhurst, and had been in combat including high risk reconnaissance at Normandy. His childhood to a certain extent mirrored that of the fictional Bond's. Niven was anything, but a misogynist. He had a character seeped in reality and is noted for his saying; "Anyone who says a bullet sings past, hums past, flies, pings, or whines past, has never heard one – they go crack!" Despite the revisionism from Connery fans and studio PR hacks that followed release of the Connery movies claiming Fleming thought Sean Connery was the perfect Bond, Connery has confirmed what Fleming said, Bond was more of a Niven person. Bond was never the caricature portrayed in the dumb downed films. Timothy Dalton brought Bond back to his roots, and Daniel Craig restablished the original intent of Bond. Neither of whom was as obnoxiously idiotic as we saw with the horrid Roger Lazenby or Roger Moore. The failings of Moore as Bond are surprising considering how he was pretty good as Simon Templar in The Saint series which I used to watch as a kid in reruns, and inspired one of my career choices. So yes, Mirren has a valid point.

You may jest, but I believe the statement.

No it would not. Chernobyl's radiation demonstrated this. When Chernobyl failed, the radiation drifted over Europe. Alex Wellersteins Nukemap models various nuclear weapon detonations.

I follow physcians against antisemitism on IG and know about the case from them. They are one of the groups who pushed the process. The group includes multiple health professionals at the hospital. The New York Post touched upon the events that were involved and does indirectly credit the public advocacy of physicians against antisemitism. https://nypost.com/2025/03/29/us-news/mount-sinai-doctor-fired-for-posts-denying-october-7-attacks/ Initially, the complaint was made within the hospital system. This is reported by the NYP. As part of the initial disciplinary action, the employee agreed to take down her hateful comments. However, other workplace members said that it did not go far enough and an investigation ensued. In New York state, you can't just terminate. There has to be a case made, and that's what the hospital did. There has to have been warnings and written documentation of warnings with a remediation plan. The NYP gives credit to the council member, but that's a political bias. Yes, she was a vocal critic, but there has to be a legal basis to terminate a long term employee in NY. she joins others who preached violence and got a wake up call. Good riddance. Your position would require that the hospital not have followed state labour laws and left itself open to litigation.

You have given a massive word dump, none of which is coherent or offers anything not already known and stated. You are spitting out references to first responders, doctors in an excited state, but they have nothing to do with this. Yes, I mentioned India and the USA. What exactly is inaccurate and does not line up with what Reuters has mentioned? The fact that I point out that India has 1000+ nationals in the high impact zone and financial interestss is relevant. India doesn't do anything unless it is to its benefit. That is the reality of Indian foreign policy. India is looking to rescue its people. What is so unusual about that? What's your point? Are you clueless, so intent on lecturing people on morality that you are blind? There is no USAID. It is gone. Disbursed. Furloughed. How many people are being deployed from USAID to Myanmar? You want to push the claim. Fine. Now tell us how many people are going. You haven't a clue. There is nothing a small number of rescue personnel can do now. We are past the golden hours. 3 days and its over for those trapped in a fallen building. There may be some survivors and the locals will get to them, maybe. The harsh reality of an earthquake with mass casualties is that you usually die if not found within 72 hours. It would take days if not a week to bring in the quipment from the USA needed. It has to be sourced and transported. That is too late. China is best placed to do this. It has the existing logisitics in place. Not my problem if you are unaware of the Chinese presence in Myanmar. I made clear, that the US already has state department crisis/catastrophe people deployed in Thailand and that it is likely that they will be redeployed to Myanmar. It is logical because they are already in the region and the only way to get to general personnel to Myanmar is via Yangon, and you fly to Yangon via Bangkok. A pledge is not a disbursement. It is a statement of intent of doing something at a later time and date. The USA provided a pledge, not a disbursement. Ever heard of a dictionary? Use it.

Ok, let's correct some errors first. The individual is not a professor of medicine. She is an inhouse hospital GP, and provides instruction for general staff. In that role she can influence or intimidate general staff such as nurses and orderlies with her political views. Staff members have previously complained about her politicking and at the hospital. Mount Sinai is primarily a jewish hospital financed by the jewish community and that serves the jewish community although it is non sectarian and has a diverse population and employee base. It started out as a hospital for indigent and marginalized members of the jewish community who could not obtain access to health care elsewhere. It has since kept that core value by providing subsidized and free care to marginalized communities of New York. It is one of the top rated hospitals in the state and relies on the Jewish community for much of its novel research and free care funding. And now along comes a person who threatens and intimidates the very people who have given her a job for 14 years and who have an obligation to the emotional well being of vulnerable patients. She was previously asked to keep the hospital out of her political rants and refused. No censorship. She violated the terms of her employment and ignored multiple warnings and cautions in respect to not hurting the hospital reputation or putting patients at fear for their safety. Her termination was not a sudden event. Mt. Sinais lawyers went through a lengthy process to arrive at this point. It was not a difference of opinions, Her activist name is Jabal Musa and she endorses a group deemed a terrorist organization. She violated her employment terms and conditions in particular not to politicize her workplace. Not mentioned is the underlying mental health state. Wait for the lawsuit to be filed. I am certain, it will include mention of her not being well. Stsay tuned

What superiority? Not my fault if you have the reading comprehension of an intellectualy stunted person. Have you looked at what aid was provided and where it was sent? Wonderful that you put up a media release, but it means NOTHING. India has mining and timber interests in parts of the country. It has sent its rescue personnel to ostensibly search for Indians. There are an estimated 1000+ Indian nationals in need of assistance in the worst stricken areas. Although there are several million ethnic Indians in Myanmar, India's firsrt duty is to rescue its nationals. India has now said it will send more aid. It has already sent the surplus tents and emergency medical supplies. The United States pledged $2 million in aid "through Myanmar-based humanitarian assistance organizations". It said in a statement that an emergency response team from USAID, which is undergoing massive cuts under the Trump administration, is being sent to Myanmar. The catch is that there is no USAID team. There are some administrative personnel from the State department going to assess damage to US assets Now tell me how I am wrong and evil. Myanmar asked for money. The US personnel being deployed are there to assess US exposures and to help with US interests, The US pledged a small amount of money that is most likely already in the pipeline for other regional projects and will just be reallocated. Nothing new in that regard as governments continually announce funding using money already pledged. The only brain dead individual is the one who insults others and makes assumptions based upon a media release story, without checking the actual details. You do not know how many personnel are being deployed from the USA. Is it 10? or 5? or something else and are they being taken from the personnel already in Thailand? It is China that is carrying the full burden of aid, but the UK has contributed just as much in funding as China. China is deploying its existing resources. Not my fault if you are clueless to the presence of the extensive Chinese financed and supported logistics network in Myanmar. Careful riding your big stick horse. if you fall off, your allusions and delusions will be shattered and you will be unable to shake your fist in anger at the world passing you by.

You do not even know how the elections are structured in France. The nation's electoral integrity is beyond reproach. France is one of the most democratic nations when it comes to electing a president. The use of the runoff election ensures true representation. 12 people were in the initial run for President last election. In the final round of the election, Macron crushed LePen and won a strong majority of the votes. LePen sealed her own fate with her corruption. And it was a multiyear complex scheme, not some technicality or error.
