Except aircraft actually has the easiest inferstructure to change. As it is centered at a limited number of locations compared to any other transportation.
So refusing to invest in research to change that. Has a larger effect in how long harm will continue. As rebuilding there inferstructure is cheaper.
For military it has been looked into. Issue at the time was weight vs power.
Main issue being such an aircraft cannot become a unaimed bomb in the event of downing somehow. And while air may statically be the safest way to travel. Planes have had many issues. More so during the time of this research.
So only with the nuclear unit contained in a 18000ft drop saft container. Is such an idea considered viable. Subs and ships do not need that level of protection. Or have that much limitation on power to weight.
this kind of shit is just another bump in the road.
I assume you are younger.
I am in my 50s. The risk of this shit was known and tought to children in schools in the 1980s.
Yet at every level. Things have gotten worse. We had solar in the 80s. Less efficient but only about 15% rather then the 20% we see now. But tax payer money in all western democracy. Was still funding oil research not batts wind or solar.
Cars became bigger and less efficient as we watched. GM was known to have destroyed its own ev production pack in the 90s.
Nothing at all was invested in building inferstructure to support other fuel types. Again dispite huge public investment in oil.
And at every 0ossible point. What little that was done was aimed at indeviduals who have the least control. While corperations were allowed to keep expanding there use. Without facing any of the costs for replacement.
Its a bump. But a 40plus year bump built intentionally to slow and limit changes in the way wealth is made.
With so much false science and outright lies from corperations its insane.
Exxon the plastics industry and many other. Behaived much worse the the cigarette industry did before them. And have not had to pay anything for there intentional and informed damage to billions of lives. Where as at least in nations with real health care options. Tobbaco companies have lost lawsuits and paid a fortune since discovery.
Unfortunately that answer just leads to punishing all due to some people.
Even if we could change the benifit system to value the position of the parents whe they choose to have children.
You would still be punishing the children for the actions of an adult.
And ignoring the fact that your policy basically forces abortion on anyone who accidentally gets pregnant.
I hate to bring of the pro life pro choice debate. But when you start pro forced abortion I think pretty much everyside is going to respond negatively.
Simple fact is. Birth control is not perfect. And abstinence even less so. And using finances to force anyone in poverty to abortion when they accidentally get pregnant. Or to force all poor married couples into abstinence. Is morally way worse then the idea of supporting the children.
And unfortunately. Anytime you try to value welfare on the right or wrong of having children. Those are the choices you are making.
I’ll also add. Its far far from an old fashioned idea. The very possibility for people to avoid children is an extreamly modern one. Pre the 1960s it was impossible. And morally shunned for married couples to avoid children. And the idea that birth control was widely effective and available. Did not really hit until the 1980s.
Heck even as recent as the 2000 doctors failed to warn patients on birth control of medicines that can cause it to fail.
Not to mention the many many health reasons (for women) why some couples still need to choose less effective methods.
The only truly effective method with limited health. Involves males choosing a permanent solution. (Yes it is permanent. You have a max of 10 years for reversal. And even then odds are far from 100%. )
Hell of a choice to ask a young couple to make. If they are to poor to have children now.
The big difference here. Someone who has held the highest position in the US. Still believes he has no legal limits when it comes to his actions on US citizens.
And is attempting to get voted in on promises based on that idea.
As much of the stuff is in pit rivers Oxford. IE outside the m25.
And that is likely the why. Much of the stuff was taken by guys like pitt rivers. Who built a lot of family wealth on the campaigns. And the government is still protecting those interests.
Wes Streeting has told The Independent that he has personally spoken to Tory MPs who are considering defecting to Labour because of the “division and incompetence” in Rishi Sunak’s government....
Given a desire for a vonc and to force an election. When it comes to tory mps stepping down at the next election. I doubt labour will reject any atm. As reducing tory support in such a vote. Would be a priority.
Do not live in London. So never come accross these stops.
But as I use a white stick. I really don’t see an issue. Cyclists can be awful when looking out for visually impaired. But it seems the bus stop would likely force a slow down and expectation of passengers.
Or it could just have likely evolved multiple times in different primate branches.
As we have absolutely no way to document how early it first happened in our own branch. To assume it is linked is just more attempts to try and indicate the human branch is special. Use of tools has been seen in many many branches. We don’t assume that came from a joint ancestor that crawled out of the water. Or before.
Eggs are some of the most versatile foods to cook. They are used all over the place. As many have suggested.
But. Yeah it is very unlikely you will find anyone selling one. As almost everyone expects to buy in multiples of 6. There is not the demand for shops to open a box.
Your best bet is to talk to a few niebours. Odds are one of them is happy to sell you an egg if you explain why.
And you never know. You may make a local friend interested in cooking.
You can copy binary code. Just as easy as source code.
It is only when running on a different architecture it gets a bit more complex.
And give the binary is directly translatable by software. Not hugely more complex for any company of the size you are unwilling to fight in court over open source code.
Sorry but no you are wrong. Hading the source in no way makes code harder to copy. Its how most of us hacked into games in the 1990s.
After all binary code is just simpler instruction set that takes very very minimal effort to convert into assembly language. And can be read by many even without that effort.
Its hardly a secret encrypted format. (Unless you are also designing your own hardware and not letting anyone see that. )
If the failed. Then the home iffice thinks it is safe for them to go home.
So why the hell are they wasting a freaking fortune sending them to Rwanda when. A flight home is cheaper. And dosent involve bribing rwanda to take them.
Or rewritting laws to claim rwanda is safe.
If it is not safe to send them home. The. The home office is openly lieing about them being failed asylum seekers.
And breakibg international law whe. They claim they entered illegally.
So why the fuck is the media letting them ger away with these bullshit claims.
To claim asylum requires the person to ID there home and a reason they will be in danger.
So if he refused he was never an asylum seeker. So would have been cLled an illegal immigrant. Not exactly a title our gov avoids using.
If they refuse. Then buy law you area valud asylum seeker. Because if your home nation refuses to take you. You are proven not safe their. By international law.
So he is not failed and the UK is breaking international law. As is his home nation.
You forgot to add the £150k cost the UK pays Rwanda for each accepted deportation.
But wonder if not accepted last year if a valid point.
Most folks do not have election every year. It is much more likely thos os the first time these folks have tried to vote.
But yeah. Voter ID is just a failed way to fix a problem that never existed. By reducing the ability for certain membews of the population to express a vote.
