Free speech is "free", but not cheap.

Except she's not being paid to pretend to eat "lab grown evil stuff". She's being paid to pretend to eat a "Beyond Meat™" burger. Not lab grown, but field grown (and then processed and assembled in a factory - just like many animal protein-adjacent products, e.g. Spam)...

Merry Christmas 1989.

So you've practiced free will in choosing to consume what could be of questionable (but tasty) origin. Should not consumers in Texas (and the other states that have blocked cultivated meat like substance) have the choice to purchase "cultivated meat like substance" without interference from...

I initially misread that as "pants". I know some food stuffs does have an evacuatory effect on the digestive system, but after you shit your pants a couple of times, most people seek medical attention.

A small study cohort, however if participating, he likely would have skewed the result. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2095627/

That sounds like a "you" problem rather than an "it" problem.

Mr. Dryden once visited CFE (Lahr and Baden) under the auspices of being a guest speaker for the "Canadian Club of Southern Germany". At the time, the president of the Canadian Club was the CO of 4 Fd Amb (an appointed secondary duty), but the day to day arrangements for the Canadian Club...

While it's been years since I've been to the UK or passed through Heathrow Airport, one of the things I noticed, even going back to the 1980s, was that every uniformed police officer I saw in the airport was armed (a goodly portion of them with MP5s). I don't know if plainclothes officers at...

Unless it had been grown in a lab/factory and had never been in a field in which things crap.

I see it as a way to devolve police and EMS from doing non-police/EMS functions. My experience of responding to MH calls is very limited and long, long ago. Military medics don't/didn't get many ambulance calls, so for me it was mostly responding to ruckuses in the mess that resulted in some...

That what I meant by "mob-handed". Should have been more explicit.

So just like paramedics, police and firefighters (as well as nurses, social workers or any other occupation that provides direct services to sometimes challenging individuals) who are injured in the course of their employment. It would be interesting to see a comparison of job related injury...

Infantrymen are trained to provide indirect fire support using mortars. Artillerymen are trained to provide indirect fire support using guns/howitzers/missiles. Despite best efforts of the Canadian Army, they are not interchangeable. Paramedics are trained to provide primary emergency care...

In addition to the GAO report, the other analysis of the decision/non-decision (?) of should it stay or should it go (to borrow from The Clash) was done by the DoD Inspector General. Evaluation of DoD Roles and Processes Leading up to the July 2023 Basing Decision for the U.S. Space Command...
