Such things have to be wire guided, or autonomous. Subs have really good wire deployment systems, so it's not something out of the question, but water blocks radio signals quite effectively.

I mean, that's like claiming that he lied repeatedly and vociferously that jumping in the pool will not lead to getting wet. There is no way to believe that lie aside from deep, deep ignorance.

Also violating their consent.

Every time I make them put their shoes on. Make them do their homework. Eat their vegetables. Be home at a certain time.

Parenting is all about violating consent. Children get input, not veto rights.

That seems incredibly unlikely.

Once again, I long for precidented times.

But the media is going to split coverage. There will be very direct comparisons of crowd sizes. Some people will have to decide which event to attend, as they can't attend both.

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

that is such a small edge case that it’s not necessary to talk about them

Did you manage to overlook this point?

In general, stay out of the ducking way.

That would kind of miss the whole point.

Plenty of countries sign on to nuclear non proliferation.

Besides, the Federation did well enough without it.

Mark Hamil did that once in Batman.

Huzzah!

kind of my point. Trains need accurately measured time in order to run properly.

Tell that to the trains.

Your last point is wrong, at least as you have stated it. Evaporation time is based on surface area, and the required power is based on volume, but you expressed the amount of water as a length.

Still, metric is way better.

Scientists were so caught up with weather they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

The leftist version of such people wouldn't be a propagandist, but a whip. Someone to help herd the cats, as it were. Someone to help keep the important things in mind in the midst of the "flood the zone" technique that disperses our efforts.

Done people already end up dead most of the time? Our coverage is good, but it's never gonna be that good.

No reason to cut it back, though.

No-one hates democracy like a Republican.

Interesting. That's a good origin, and makes sense. They should have explained that a bit in the article, though.

Thanks for the extra info.
