The reason this is so confusing with different answers is that the portals don't really exist, so inherently whether you say a or b is gonna depend on assumptions. In game they aren't allowed to move so we have nothing to base it on to match game physics.

Here's my take, momentum is a product of velocity. Velocity needs a reference frame. Without it, there's no real difference in saying the portal has a velocity of 0 and the people tied up have a the velocity and therefore momentum, or the other way around. If we assume velocity with respect to the portal is what matters and is the momentum carried forward, then it should be B. If it's relative to the earth or tied up people, then A.

It's true, electronic medical records range from garbage to totally broken in terms of usability for healthcare workers. Then you realize the actual customer is the hospital system, and all the design decisions start to make sense. Because the real purpose of the software is efficient billing, not patient care.

The former president? No wait he wanted to inject bleach. Or sunlight or something I dunno.

Just this one small part of the massive nationwide conspiracy of sedition is already much worse than Watergate.

Just to be clear, it's not like a protective order for their person (though Jack Smith and others already have to travel with large security details because of the stochastic terrorism of Trump and most other Republicans), but a protective order of the evidence in the case given through discovery. So before the trial the prosecution has to show the defense all the evidence it has, which is called discovery. The prosecutors here are concerned that Trump is going to leak that info in some way, like witnesses lists, so that his supporters can harass and intimidate witnesses on his behalf. Or maybe even bribe them or something. What the prosecution is seeking is a protective order to prevent trump from releasing publicly any evidence that they obtain through discovery. Normally there wouldn't be anything preventing a defendent from releasing that info, though most sane people wouldn't generally want their incriminating evidence released publicly. If the order is granted and Trump violates it, he could theoretically be held in contempt and go to prison where he no longer can violate the order.

This is a huge bummer. I wonder if maybe a consortium of some of the biggest library systems in the country could band together and make a platform that they control to use instead. It seems like libby/overdrive is only going to keep getting worse and more predatory.

Something has to be done to regulate these leveraged buyouts too. Providing no real value and then just vandalizing and destroying companies.

The headline left out something important from the article and posed a false dichotomy, a minority of harvested crabs are being used to develop medicines, and most of those are released and survive. The vast majority that are killed are being harvested for use as bait in commercial fishing. Seems like that's the obvious thing to cut back on to save the humans, the crabs, and the birds.

Big concern, especially with the case being tried in Florida federal court. This most recent case is filed in DC however, and the vast majority of people who live in DC are not very enamored with trump, to say the least.

As much as I hate meta/Facebook, don't get me wrong, I don't think these laws are right either. I don't think you should have to pay to simply provide a link to another website. This runs antithetical to the whole idea and structure of the internet. If they're taking the article or photos and republishing it on their own website that's different and they obviously should have to pay for that. The linking to news sites is actually good for news sites though and increases profit for publishers by driving traffic to their sites, it doesn't take profit away. The news publishers are free to have a paywall or put advertisements on the page being linked too and get revenue from that. This feels like publishers wanting to eat their cake and keep it too, they want big search engines and social media to link to their articles so the news sites get traffic and revenue from advertisements/subscriptions, and then they also want the search engines who created that traffic in the first place to pay for linking too? I think publishers are shooting themselves in the foot in the long run lobbying for these laws all for a pittance of cash.

This idea could also affect things like lemmy too eventually and make them impossible, if you need to pay to simply provide a link to a news story or other website.

Very important stipulation here just so it's clear before everyone chucks their aspirin in the trash, this is a study on just giving low dose aspirin to people who are totally healthy. We know aspirin is helpful for ischemic stroke prevention for people who are at higher risk for strokes, including people who've had an ischemic stroke before. Many people have risk factors for stroke and cardiac disease. People should talk to their doctor about whether or not they should be on a low dose aspirin.

The neurons you're born with stay with you for the most part. Most of their complex organization is formed through a series of one time events early in development that can't really be replicated and then stays with you for the rest of your life. You get shingles when you're older because the same neurons were with you that got infected by chicken pox when you were younger are still there. There's a few limited areas in the nervous system where new neurons might be formed, but in general neurons are life long cells so be nice to your nervous system. Most other cell types in your body are turning over as you said, including glia and other types of cells in your brain.

Pleco advice (lemm.ee)
submitted 1 year ago by Neuron@lemm.ee to c/aquariums@lemmy.world

Hi everyone! I have a 40 gallon breeder planted tank. Currently it has cardinal tetra, rummy nose tetra, peppered cordyora, a honey gourami, and innumerable blue cherry shrimp. There is tons of driftwood in the tank, and I think a pleco would fit in well. I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the different subspecies and varieties, wondered if anyone had some (smaller) plecos they've particularly liked and would recommend. And also best places to order them online, unfortunately our main lfs in the area closed and so it's pretty much down to petsmart and petco for local choices.
