Frank Tyson: Video shows moments before black man dies in police custody
Of course they did something wrong. Not in arresting him perhaps, but once the police have restrained a suspect, got them in handcuffs on the ground and that person is in their custody, they have a duty of care towards them. That includes making sure the person who's now in their custody doesn't expire due to lack of care or attention.

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
What on earth are you on about, "letting zelensky negotiate"? Zelensky has been abundantly clear that he would never consider negotiating with Russia unless they withdraw from all Ukrainian territory. Zelenskyy says no Ukraine peace talks until full Russian withdrawal Also, Boris Johnson never said he wanted regime change - a No 10 spokesman did once say that in unscripted remarks at a press conference, but that was quickly repudiated as a mis-statement of government policy. UK clarifies it is not trying to bring down Putin regime over Russia-Ukraine war

Fully Electric Songthaews to be Trialled in Pattaya
Not sure where your getting your information from. EV's are more efficient in city driving than on highways and AC use doesn't drain the charge "very fast" so no, they won't need to be charged "often". Also, I don't know if you've ever been in a Songthaew but the passenger section isn't air-conditioned anyway. So only the two-person driver cab (if that) would be using AC.

They're not converted ICEV's, they're the new fully electric Hilux Revo model.

Thai Woman Criticizes Clinic for Laser Hair Removal
According to the scientific definitions of them, the vulva includes the mons pubis which is, "the coarse hair-bearing prominent area of skin and fatty tissue overlaying the symphysis pubis and other pubic bones." So if the laser treatment was to remove pubic hair, the vulva would be affected.

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
I already replied to the question of them being "safer" (not a term I would have chosen to use, by the way) but for more info, the article below provides a fairly comprehensive analysis of the issues surrounding the possible use of technical battlefield nukes by Russia, including their actual effects, and what the Western response might be. What would actually happen if Putin hit Ukraine with tactical nukes? Somewhat surprisingly (to me at least) it seems to suggest that the West might not necessarily respond with nuclear weapons of its own.

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
According to the article, CATL only just announced availability on April 9th so my take would be a) not very many and b) not disclosed.

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Depends what you mean by "safer," In terms of their actual destructive power, and the amount of nuclear fallout, they would cause less death and damage than an ICBM strike would. They should still never be used, of course.

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
I didn't say anything about trolling. However I should point out that the use of intercontinental ballistic missiles is to target places located a long, long way away - usually on a different continent (the clue is in the name). If Russia were going to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, they would be tactical battlefield nukes, not ICBM's.

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
More promising battery development news - "zero-degradation" grid storage batteries. CATL Claims New Grid Battery Will Experience No Degradation In First Five Years OK, this is not being implemented in EV batteries just yet but if the principle behind it has been worked out, I dare say it will make its way into EV batteries eventually.

A one-shot vaccine for COVID, flu and future viruses? Researchers say it's coming
If that's your take on this, then I would have to submit that again, you haven't really understood what is being talked about. This research is about creating a vaccine - nothing more, nothing less. Now, it is a vaccine based on a slightly different kind of approach than previous vaccines but it still relies on taking an antigen from an actual virus and exposing your body to it in order to evoke an immune response. You still seem to be talking as if this will somehow cause certain viruses to cease to exist. It won't. This is something which will inhibit a virus from replicating once it gets inside a human body, just as other vaccines do, but (according to the researchers) in a more efficient and hopefully more durable manner.

A one-shot vaccine for COVID, flu and future viruses? Researchers say it's coming
Did you read the attached article? This would not pre-emptively eliminate viruses. It would however (if it pans out) make a person's immune system more able to fight off a virus. Neither is what is being talked about here, an antiviral medicine.

True, however this is not mRNA vaccine technology. It is RNAi technology - a totally different proposition.

Prince Harry renounces British residency, declares US is his ‘new country’
You're falling for the mis-statement in the headline. He has not renounced British residency. That's not actually a thing. All he has done, is state on some kind of housing form that his primary country of residence is the US - which even the casual observer could see that it plainly is. For instance, I used to live in France at one time. If asked what my normal country of residence was at that time, I would always say it was France. It didn't mean I had "renounced" anything to do with the UK. You can become non-resident for tax purposes in the UK, but that's something you have to sort out directly with HMRC not just by putting on some miscellaneous form what your current country of residence is. Tax if you leave the UK to live abroad

Joe Biden Is Now Beating Donald Trump With Republican Pollsters As Well
As the Yahoo article that @Danderman123linked to says: Don't forget that even Project Veritas, the far right-wing outlet that originally received the diary, wouldn't publish it because it couldn't be confirmed.

Except that those two things are not mutually exclusive. According to an analysis in Time Magazine of where the money actually goes, around 90% of the money for Ukraine aid is spent in the US (and creates thousands of US jobs). Why the U.S. Has the Most to Gain From Supporting Ukraine

Joe Biden Is Now Beating Donald Trump With Republican Pollsters As Well
Yes - a properly conducted opinion poll with a random sample of 1,000 people gives a 95% chance of a result that reflects the opinion of the entire US population, with a 3% margin of error. See article from the Scientific American, below. How can a poll of only 1,004 Americans represent 260 million people with only a 3 percent margin of error? Also, to quote an old joke that is popular with survey researchers: "If you don't believe in the accuracy of random sampling, next time you have a blood test, ask the doctor to take it all."

Piers Morgan accuses Americans of ‘losing their minds’ over treatment Trump during trial
If by "demeaning treatment" Morgan means that Trump was subject to some kind of unusually harsh words from the judge then he obviously doesn't understand NY state court procedures. Trump received the same exact admonitions from the judge (known as Parker warnings) that every criminal defendant in a NY courtroom receives.
