You retain some base level awareness even when sleeping, so there's not necessarily a total discontinuity of consciousness.

I could buy it for anesthesia, though.

run another experiment where you drink more and come back with the results of falling down

this has to be tested thoroughly; alcohol might have some point wherein it acts as antigravity

I honestly have no idea what the disagreement even is, I'm just annoyed that people think that pointing out that the theory of evolution is a theory can actually mean anything negative about it (except when you don't know what that means).

i understand why folks reacted poorly over it precisely because there are a lot of grifters and assholes that act as god of the gaps as i think it was tiaz put it, and we are in a thread wherein a collection of assholes and grifters is acting as god of a different sort of a massive country and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people on a literal global-level grift. that was why i took steps to try to make it clear i merely understood the dynamic, but did not advocate for any of the ridiculously malicious and harmful ramifications of the dynamic.

i have somewhat less sympathy over people continuing to pant furiously for a fight in the ukraine thread after it has been pointed out to them three times that their enemy is in another castle though

To clear this up

In the science community a theory is what we believe explains X. There will be evidence, arguements, counter arguements, people trying disprove or pick holes in it. Lots of experts will chat etc and it will get called a theory. The theory of X is still wide open for anyone to poo poo on it if you can back it up.

A theory in the regular world is basically saying, I scored 100 soccer goals in school so in theory, I'm the best player at school.

e - Which basically means that something being and remaining a scientific theory is the highest endorsement something can be given in the scientific world. Anyone thinking "theory" somehow casts doubt over something in science is wildly misinformed.

You really have no idea. Creationism as we know it didn't arise naturally, it was invented recently as a movement and is supported by a high volume of intentionally created pseudoscience using the exact same flood the zone tactics. The people on top absolutely do not believe it themselves and are willing to say literally anything to support it.

Lysenko’s biology is a great example to use when people try to pull the “Atheists are the biggest mass murderers, Stalin was an atheist” card though. Miracles exist!!! and I mean aside from him being a trained seminarian, the pogroms and inquisitions, the partnerships/nepotism with the orthodox church clerical class and the fact that he just took over a country where a huge number of people believed the former czar was a demigod.

quote:

In the Russian Federation, the property and territories of the bankrupt PJSC Motovilikha Plants, the only manufacturer of a number of artillery systems in the country, is being sold, Russian media report.

Since 2018, the enterprise has been undergoing a bankruptcy process. In 2022, part of the company’s territories was already sold for 59.5 million rubles (about $100 thousand) for residential development.

Now the head of the competition commission, which deals with the liquidation of the company’s debts, announced the acceptance of bids, within which the property and part of the territories of the enterprise had to be sold. The initial price of the lot is 9.481 billion rubles (about $105 million).

Located in the Perm Krai, the company is one of the oldest manufacturers of weapons in Russia. The date of its foundation is considered to be 1736. Today it is one of the largest artillery manufacturers in the Russian Federation.

PJSC Motovilikha Plants is the developer and the only Russian manufacturer of combat and transporter-loader vehicles for the Grad, Smerch MLRS and their modified versions, such as Tornado-G and Tornado-S.
