If not for that pesky FDA, rats would develop the most bizzare case of liver failure that medicine has ever seen and took over the world with their superior intellect, any day now, you’ll see
Also as far as i am aware communist Poland was quite secular, but saw an extremely strong ressurgence of fundamentalist catholicism with the downfall of the communist government.
i’ll leave as an exercise for you to find out why 2137 is a funny number in polish memes. start here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2137
that motherfucker in question is off his rocker, and not pro-palestinian either. his solution to israel-palestine relations would probably involve crusades to reinstate chrisitan kingdom of jerusalem
he’s a catholic fundamentalist (so: against abortion, LGBT rights, sex ed, and divorces), monarchist, full on crackpot (climate change denier, covid denier and antivaxxer, he even denied that smog exists) and his activities align suspiciously with russian interests. do you really think he cares here about theological details?
he was already expelled from this session of parliament
Poland is a christian country (all of europe is in essence) and this is technically the most christian thing you can do.
poland is also the most rapidly secularizing country in the world by some measures, and that motherfucker in question is catholic fundamentalist. even his own party condemned him, and i won’t be surprised if he gets stripped of immunity over that (but everyone will forget about that by then)
funny that, considering that we might be close to end of beating around the bush and there might be reasonable, solid mechanism of action for all known antidepressants www.science.org/…/how-antidepressants-work-last
meaning there could be new antidepressants based on that mechanism in decade or so, removing many of limitations of the previous ones (and probably introducing a slew of new ones)
I do. You don’t just march on 10+M city with what, 2500 people? the rest, incl pringles himself, were in Rostov. Maybe he thought that simply posturing will get him what he wanted, whatever that was
are you saying that whatever skunk works puts out is not cool enough? mr president, we have to triple defence spending
Between requirement that all manufacturing has to be within US and trackable, IP issues, relatively high wages in american manufacturing (at least compared to the most probable adversary) and bloat due to funding of actual black projects, there’s a lot of places where money sinks
it worked like this: public tenders for trains and its servicing are separate. at first, newag claimed that service documentation is their super secret IP and they can’t disclose it. european railway authority however basically said that no, fuck you, you as a manufacturer have to disclose it. so they did, it’s a 20k page thick book, and now other workshops (with all certs and so on) can compete in tender. while monopoly lasted, they could call whatever price they wanted and operators would pay anyway. smaller workshops just outcompeted them because they don’t have dozen c-suite to pay
newag of course didn’t like it and there comes the fuckery. what they did, among others, is they put logic that would prevent DC-AC converters from turning on if train spends 10d+ in one of hardcoded areas, these places being competing workshops. another mysterious thing was gsm modem that could (possibly) brick train remotely in the same way. later corporate would just claim that no one else can fix these trains, call competition unqualified, and grab severely overpriced servicing contracts. that is, until somebody actually looked inside. mechanically and electrically train was fully working, but it was just locked by software
i guess this will make some national and european regulators and agencies verry interested. here you have more technical details (article in polish) zaufanatrzeciastrona.pl/…/o-trzech-takich-co-zhak… it will be also topic of a talk at 37C3
