Modern ground would not be able to protect their supply chain from modern air. Bases would be leveled by day 2 with dwindling fuel and ammo supplies. Modern air wouldn’t need to bomb every tank and spend trillions they could just starve the war machine.

This is not an accurate depiction. All those parts look like they will fit out of the box and all the parts are there.

You’re giving journalists way to much credit. The Pulitzer Prize was named after a man who started the Spanish American war by making shit up.

He was a tenth or two up from the cutoff after sector 2 so I think he may have squeaked into q2.

I expected Pickford to be lower.

I have to admit after about 5 attempts of trying to move pieces I realized it was just an image.

Jackson is complaining that precedence is not being used while ignoring precedence that states have the authority to determine which medical procedures will be permitted in their state.

On top of that he seemed more concerned about the hit being called dirty than what he did to Trevor Lawrence.

I’m not sure they could shoot Santa down, the bells on the reigns can be used for chaff so radar tracking is out, I doubt the IR signature of some deer and a large man in a snow suit are high enough for a missel to track. That leaves emi once Santa turns off his transponder norad won’t be able to track him.

It’s so strange that suddenly liberals are suddenly in favor of autonomy for states.

A benefit of receiving a state subsidized education certainly has monetary value. If all the people who get in because of that law have to pay out of state tutition costs then your point has validity.

Money taken via taxes is how universities are funded, funneling the money through a university doesn’t change what it is.

I’d be interested in reading this bill as descendants of slaves is a wide net. Jewish people were slaves to the Egyptians, Slavs were enslaved by Romans and Spanish Muslims, Irish enslaved by the English. I’m sure just about all Americans have a slave descendent.

Your TDS is so severe that you can’t even acknowledge that Biden is a slimy politician.

It’s comments like that, that cause animosity and a drivers strike.

He would be good, but the FIA doesn’t want someone good, they want someone loyal to Sulayem.

If you want to insist on a definition that says egg and sperm cells aren’t alive, or aren’t an organism, you’re gonna have a hard time saying that a fertilized egg or an embryo are. They don’t replicate on their own, either, not without a very specific environment and set of stimuli.

An embryo goes from a single cell to multiple genetically identical cells, that is replication. Sperm cells do not replicate into more identical sperm cells, eggs do not replicate into more identical eggs.

Also, sperm cells DO replicate, to an extent. They undergo forms of mitosis and meiosis, during their growth. And an egg cell absolutely replicates. Like any other type of cell replication, it needs certain stimuli to initiate it. I.E. it needs to be fertilized.

I would argue that the mitosis process sperm cells undergo splits the cell into two genetically different cells and the genetic difference ia not a mutation so it’s not replication. Egg cells don’t replicate they don’t copy their DNA, they fuse with sperm at which time they become an embryo and start to replicate.

You should probably read the articles before you comment on what’s in them. It may also help to know what replication means.

“Any system capable of replication and mutation is alive” to Schulze-Makuch et al. 2002:

(3) able to replicate structurally distinct copies of themselves from an instructional code perpetuated indefinitely through time despite the demise of the individual carrier through which it is transmitted.

Forterre, Patrick, 2006a, “Three RNA cells for ribosomal lineages and three DNA viruses to replicate their genomes: a hypothesis for the origin of cellular domain,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 103(10): 3669–3674.

Yes an embryo does replicate. How do you think an embryo goes from one cell to multiple cells?
