One of the reasons my friend is in the position he’s in now is because he built a really good relationship with a couple people from the university of Tokyo when he was a grad student in Hawaii.

I mean, the Soviets didn’t offer them any guarantees. But I think that’s more of a byproduct of how they held leverage over the specialist, and more of a difference in how the two cultures choose to motivate employees.

Despite this, the affected specialists and their families were doing well compared to citizens of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Zone, apart from the suffering of deportation and isolation. The specialists earned more than their Soviet counterparts. The scientists, technicians and skilled workers were assigned to individual projects and working groups, primarily in the areas of Aeronautics and rocket technology, nuclear research, Chemistry and Optics. The stay was given for about five years.

Yep, my buddy is finally on a tenure track at a really nice school and it’s the accumulation of like 15 years of stressful work that might have never really paid off.

You have to be good at getting published, attending conferences, creating conferences, building relationships with different universities and that’s just to keep up with the competition. I think what seals the deal is not only getting funding for yourself, but showing universities how employing you would actually be a sound investment.

Does the circuit not know that or am I thinking of something else?

They just don’t care. It’s just like what they are doing with federal workers who can’t use strikes as a collective bargaining tool. The MSPB was made to pacify federal workers and offer some sort of protection from partisan politics.

So trump just fired the board members so they couldn’t make a quorum, and of course the supreme Court allowed it. They are relying on the fact that most Americans are too comfortable to risk jail time to stand up for their rights.

The US is all about realpolitik

Not to excuse the US’s history of foreign diplomacy, but I think it would be naive to believe that there exists any major power who doesn’t treat geopolitics with the same level of pragmatism.

The Soviets hated the Nazi even more than the US did and yet they still had their own version of paperclip. Operation Osoaviakhim brought almost double the number of Nazi scientists into the Soviet Union.

The reason it isn’t a huge threat is isn’t because we’ve gotten so much better at treating it, it’s that our hygiene has improved so much.

I mean our hygiene has gotten better, but the actual reason it isn’t that much of a threat anymore is because it’s a bacterial infection and we now have antibiotics.

Bacterial diseases are still worrisome due to some strains adapting a resistance to certain antibiotics, but they are much more manageable than viral outbreaks.

My guess is the shrimp were illegally scrapping abandoned medical equipment…

In all honesty my real guess is that the factory they were processed at were probably doing inspections of their line or building with a defectoscope that may have somehow broken near the food.

It’s the most usual suspect for small amounts of cs-137 getting loose since they are handheld and relatively commonplace.

Goodish news… You wouldn’t be eating the poop. It’d be thrown in a blender until it reached an enema appropriate viscosity.

The Moravian church was kind of radical, I’m not religious but imo it’s the closest thing to actual Christianity we’ve ever gotten. Overseas b there were Moravian church members who would sell themselves into slavery so they could preach to other slaves.

Before some of my family were sent off with the Cherokee on the trail of tears, half of them went up north to Pennsylvania and Ohio and were killed in the Gnadenhutten massacre during the revolutionary war. The survivors fled to Canada and would later be attacked after the battle of the Thames by the US cavalry expedition that killed Tecumseh during the war of 1812.

Yeap… It’s how some of my family ended up in Oklahoma. My dad’s side of the family were some of the early founders of the Moravian church in the US. They got kicked out of Georgia for being too friendly with the natives and attempting to sneak slaves away to attend their sermons.

Yeah… Some of those are insanely priced. Their bench top vices aren’t bad though.

I would check out Lee Valley if you have the option. Pretty much everything on there is solid quality for a fair price.

Not particularly… I’d say the average older vice is better quality than the average new vice. However, if you’re willing to spend some decent money on a new vice you can find some that are quite a bit better than your average older vice.

Yeap, he’s like king of the nepo babies. His father was the lawyer to one of the Getty heirs and their son and Gavin became best friends. His rich friend has bankrolled all of his businesses and his run for office. Gavin Newsome has never accomplished anything by himself in his entire life, maybe besides cheating on his wife. The man can’t even read.

You have plenty of non-profit newspapers. ProPublica. The Guardian. The Colorado Sun. The Salt Lake Tribune. Mother Jones. Le Devoir. La Presse. Mediapart

And how much of the market do these networks control? Just because there are non profits available doesn’t negate their claim.

Also, if a journalist writes total bullshit, they lose their job. It’s career suicide. Their articles follow them for their entire career. So they have to be careful.

Depending on what network they are submitting their work to… It’s not like “journalists” on Fox News are being shamed for submitting fake stories.

Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn’t like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising…

If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.

Yeah, give me the “I want to see your manager” in the front and “I am the fire starter” in the back. Thanks.

This is the only reason I own a pair of cut resistant gloves. Makes the mandoline actually a useful and safe kitchen tool.

I think that it’s more that we’ve commoditized all aspects of community, and at the same time have stopped offering any sense of financial opportunities to young people.

Social groups are now built around expensive hobbies or membership subscriptions. There aren’t even really any free spaces for people to organize around. Even the alt right groups preying on lonely people are usually just trying to sell supplements or merch.

Most versions of the bible say that Jesus didn’t break with the scripture before, but confirms and expands it. Subsequently Islam does the same, with some corrections, most notably the clear rejection of trinitarianism. The prophet whose story is shown the most in the Quran is Moses.

Furthering that, Mormons also believe Mohammed was a different kind of prophet and LDS church is basically just another expansion pack of monotheism.

am saying that when Russia went fucking around folk at Lemmy judged whole nation, but now that US stepped in the same direction, suddenly they remembered that state is not same as people

Ahh, that is not what I would have guessed by your original statement. Yeah, nationalism is a removed. I thought you were saying that Russian and Korean people were inherently evil because they didn’t instantly overthrow their governments when the governments “started doing evil”.
