“Disproportionate”? Sorry, I should have specified ‘relative to what’.

Yes, Israel is disproportionately represented in scientific and technological innovation relative to its population and size. I would say that Israel produces more high-level scientific and technological output than you would expect from its population, land area, o…

I would have like to have been in the meeting when that idea was first floated. I think Israel’s longstanding advantage has been disproportionately dense networks connecting universities, engineering, medicine, entrepreneurship and venture capital. That produces a cultural environment in which somebody can plausibly say “Can I have some mon…

Don’t have a cow man.

Zionist ice cream. Zionist cheese. Zionist milk.

I didn’t know Israel had a Bart Simpson and a Forest Gump.😁

They must. They must. They must prove they’re value to justify their existence.

Whew! I thought you were about to break into a girl’s mammarial cheer from Judy Bloom’s Young Adult Fiction. &#x…[Read more]

As Pakistan’s army chief turns on hardline Islamist groups, blasphemy cases plummet.

The anti-blasphemy laws are still on the books in Pakistan, else on what basis could the police conduct investigations? The Generals could very well do the execution of blasphemers themselves with secret military trials.

Munir is the son of an imam and a…

Environment: Why are so many of us apathetic to climate change?

I dunno. Ask Bill Gates or maybe Al Gore if you can find him. Ask Alexandria Occasio Cortez; you have 5 years to do so. (I think that’s the right number. Like Bowie said: My brain hurts a lot! 😖)

Or just consult BlueSky on the latest “Current Thing.”

And if you wonder what…[Read more]

In Florida, “personal freedom” is being used as though infectious disease were a purely personal transaction. You don’t have to repeal a vaccination programme to weaken it.

Overall attitudes on healthy living figure into the state of infectious disease.

An ancient biblical disease is making a comeback because evidently, Florida Man think…[Read more]

All true from the AI, and fighting bacteria, germs, mold, and viruses is a never-ending struggle for man and his domesticated beasts and crops.

I think of apple as more suited to a side dish with pork, but apple and chicken are compatible as well. Orange chicken, snow peas chicken, and cashew chicken are excellent Chinese main courses.…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Good to see some friction of MAGA vs. MAHA. If only they could distract and paralyze each other and leave the rest of us to pursue our own Greatness and Health.:

Jake:

Keep in mind also that the slave ship chicks who are preemptively antibioticized cause rapid evolution in bacteria. So you know the drill…new antibiotics…new microbes that are resistant…and then perhaps and i assume zoonotic dangers. Also in ingesting chickens raised in hell we ingest their antibiotics so the same dance between micro…

Still, still, not one goddamn time since i first reported the coffee cup pointing away when microwaving has it pointed towards me. Not even achieved equator. I will take equator. I equate equator as a victory.

Does you microwave have variable speeds on the turntable? Is it an “Internet of Things” thing with controls out of your hands?…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Some very concerning news for Unbelievers and all U.S Citizens:

Also, isn’t it cruel to have chickens raised “Free Range” where they could be attacked by foxes or snakes or even snatched up whole by birds of prey e.g falcons, eagles, owls, osprey, etc.)

Jake:

Health nuts should be more enticed than regular meat cuz of not using hormones and probably antibiotics along with controlling type and percent of fat.

This thought has been with me a bit: I saw a package of chicken that boasted it was “Cruelty-Free and Free Range” and simultaneously “Free of Antibiotics”.

Wouldn’t depriving animals of…[Read more]

Jake:

I hope Vat-Meat works out well, too, though I wonder if the inputs to grow it would be any different or more complicated than meat raised by regular animal husbandry.

I wonder if Orthodoxers would deem it Kosher if cattle is slaughtered with single non-full-auto shot from an Uzi or a Galil?
