"Nor did it wish to conduct an online survey on the bear’s future appearance. In its view, such a survey would not be representative and would have little informative value."

I think this is the first time that I've seen a political organization grasp the notion that these "online surveys" are fundamentally meaningless. In my view, they not only do not provide any useful information, but they represent negative knowledge in that people that use them think they have learned something when, in reality, they haven't. That's worse than at least knowing that you don't know something.

As an aside, the thing that strikes me about the bear is that it looks apprehensive, almost like it is skulking away from something that it is scared of or like it has just been scolded. This is based on the way the eye is portrayed.

 

Maybe the bear had a little too much honey.

 

Or mama bear gave him an earful ...

 

Or mama bear gave him an earful ...

I was just thinking the same thing! Perhaps if they point that out, then the folks that don't feel that they are represented will feel better. Ah... probably not. They want their victimhood acknowledged.

 

I can't even imagine how many different things would have had to go wrong on an elevator certified in the U.S. (or, I imagine, many other countries) for that to happen. There are interlocks to prevent motion while the doors are open. Acceleration limiters. Time delays. Presence sensors. Brakes that engage when the elevator is stopped. But, of course, this happened in India, where people are used to insanely dangerous things as a matter of routine, so even if this elevator had originally been equipped with some of these safety devices, it would not surprise me if they had all been simply bypassed over the years as what passes for "maintenance" only worried about keeping the elevator working, after a fashion.

When I taught at a private school their cafeteria put out ranch dressing for salads. Those kids put it on EVERYTHING including pizza!!!

 

So, basically, you lose your mind in space.

This doesn't bode well for the future of Mars.

 

Imagine the power:

Definitely very impressive and a lot of power. But, I still remember seeing a fully restored Honda CBX1000 about 10 years ago, which was a heck of a 6 cylinder bike for its day (late 1970's?)

‘Smart underwear’ measures how often humans fart

​

They tried unsuccessfully to measure hydrogen production from gut microbes with a sensor in an oxygen-free chamber. Frustrated, “we took the sensor out of the chamber, and we were like, ‘Screw it. We’re going to try to measure a fart.’” So Hall stuck the device down his own pants and let rip. “And the signal was enormous.”

A Kremlin loyalist suddenly turned against Putin. A day later, he was in a psychiatric hospital.
Ilya Remeslo's online criticism of the Russian leader was an unusual airing of public dissent, but the story took a dramatic turn when he stopped posting.


He should stay away from open windows.
