  • ICBMs are spaceflight rockets, imo it's best to count them. The US hasn't had such large accidents with ICBMs, mostly minor ones.

    Even if we exclude those it's not true. The US has sent significantly more people into space than the Soviets did, so NASAs accident rate was lower (hence safer), even if the absolute number of deaths was higher.

  • Times Mamdani Article Using Hacked Documents from White Supremacist Draws Outcry
  • So this is the application form:

    Mamdani was born in Uganda to a Ugandan father and an Indian (Gujarati) mother. Which box would you tick?

    Mamdani opted to tick "Black/African American" as well as "Asian", and at the "Other" box wrote "Ugandan".

    I personally fail to see the problem. Given the constraints of these boxes, this seems to be the most accurate way of describing his ethnicity? Am I missing something here? Why is NYT presenting this as an issue at all?

    Trump saying he's white despite him being orange seems like a bigger discrepancy.

  • Welcome to the Labour police state
  • That's not specific to having a constitution. Judges in the Netherlands for example also cannot do a judicial review to determine the constitutionality of any passed laws. And that's with a written constitution. There's also no supreme court. The closest thing is the Raad van State (the "state council"), which evaluates all laws on proportionality, constitutionality, and executability, and then advises the government what to do with a law. It's convention that that advice is followed, but it's not required.

  • Welcome to the Labour police state
  • There's still a judicial challenge happening. And just because the UK doesn't have written constitution doesn't mean there's no constitution at all. Most of it is even written down, just not in one place.

  • Not sure that matters too much, frogs in the US are boiling fine too. The constitution can be brushed aside just as easily.

  • RFK Jr. admits removing fluoride from drinking water will β€˜probably’ lead to more cavities in children
  • Downvoted for telling the truth.

    Loads of developed areas quit putting fluoride in the drinking water a long time ago. It's mostly anglo nations that still do it. But overall there's no real difference because in developed nations people have access to fluoridated toothpaste, which is just as effective without the downsides of ingesting it.

    And yes, at low dosages there's no real adverse effects, but in many places in the US the fluoride is put in at several times the recommended rate, at which point you could start seeing negative effects. But solving that incompetence is hard for an idiot like RFK.

    Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water. The UK still does it but may soon stop, because the NHS found there's no real health benefits anymore: https://www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/future-benefits-of-water-fluoridation-not-guaranteed-study-shows/
