"Yes, the big lesson learned in the George Floyd riots for SPD is that a static riot line of police is not sustainable for more than a day. Because the protesters are fanatics, they will stay out there for weeks, tormenting the cops on the line and gradually increasing the provocation until they get the cops to react. And eventually, the police are going to react and try to make arrests, and there’s going to be tear gas. That’s what we learned. It’s just not sustainable to stand there and let them abuse you."

"This linguistic map paints an alternative map of Europe, displaying the language families that populate the continent, and the lexical distance between the languages. The closer that distance, the more words they have in common. The further the distance, the harder the mutual comprehension.

"The map shows the language families that cover the continent: large, familiar ones like Germanic, Italic-Romance and Slavic; smaller ones like Celtic, Baltic and Uralic; outliers like Semitic and Turkic; and isolates – orphan languages, without a family: Albanian and Greek."

Nasca lines are among Peru's greatest mysteries

Hundreds of gigantic lines, some in the shape of animals, geometric patterns and even an alien-like being, extend for miles throughout Peruvian desert, which could only be seen high above the Earth

You probably already know to avoid statins like the plague, but in case not.....

"Many independent researchers have documented that more than 20% of statin-treated patients suffer from myopathy, and that statin treatment may cause other serious side effects. They include rhabdomyolysis, cataract, hearing loss, interstitial cystitis, herpes zoster, impotence, aggressive or suicidal behaviour, memory loss, Alzheimer, Parkinson, dementia and polyneuropathy. Low cholesterol is also associated with cancer and cancer occurred more often in the 4S, HPS, CARE, PROSPER and SEAS trials and with statistical significance in three of them. Several case-control and cohort studies of cancer patients have also shown that the cancer was more aggressive among those on statin treatment"

"From the prevalent action-at-a-distance perspective, electromagnetic energy was associated with charges. Energy vanished from charges over here and appeared at charges over there as electromagnetic systems interacted with each other. What, if anything, might happen in between was idle philosophic speculation, not a matter for consideration by the action-at-a-distance theory. “Shut up and calculate,” was the prevailing wisdom. Maxwell took a different view."
