Note I'd never say she was a fraud but I also don't know what to do with someone who has grown into being Not Even Wrong regularly. This might be the only way, fire with fire, but it makes me squeamish.
Another issue is that the conventional usage of the term 'fractal' implies some degree of 'self-similarity' across scale, which is a very nebulous concept and is not at all captured by defining the term with respect to sets and various measures.
The object was actually in the rest frame of our local patch of the galaxy, so in essence, we came to it via our motion about the center of the galaxy.
So I'm no scientician, but 24mg/kg is like 1.5g for an average human. I'm pretty sure that this would not only turn of a humans brain, it may cause it to burst into flames as well.
edit: After investigating, the source for this claim is the Merck Index from 1989, which is not readily available online. Anyone who would use the above information to determine the appropriate ketamine dose for themselves or someone else is a dangerous fool.
There is a lot more going on here than people getting termporarily sick and permanently dead. The economy is being transformed, in a not good way, in front of our eyes, and its only going to get worse over the next few months. 6.6 million new unemployment claims last week? How many restaurants & small business are going to be able to continue to pay their rent for the next 3+ months with next to no business? How many people are going to have their homes forclosed on them because they dont have a job and dont qualify for unemployment? The economic impact of what's happening right now is staggering, in a way that is not just going to fix itself once people stop being sick.
Agreed - it seems that if this goes on for more than a few weeks then we'll start to see "cascading failures", first in the form of higher default rates, then the banks creaking under the strain of broken assumptions.
I dispute this logic entirely. Yes, he is not beholden to external special interests. But he is worth some 60 billion dollars, owns his own media company, is the single largest donator to the democaratic party(he owns Pelosi's super pac), and is deeply enmeshed in wall street. The guy literally is a special interest himself. You should all be terrified of a potential Bloomberg presidency. Everything coming out about him recently paints a picture of somebody with a lot of the exact same negative personality traits as Trump, but who is deeply competent. This is horrifying.
