Sources at the Home Office say it wasn't offered free accommodation, benefits, or legal aid, so it decided France was preferable.

You are radically over-impressed by that fact that something was published. There are a lot of ideologically motivated junk papers published in journals all of the time - anyone who has published in journals and knows the process, knows this. The "there is a paper" argument is utterly meaningless in the modern world - you have to read a great deal of them and come to a balance-of-evidence conclusion and in this respect, Mr Wright is absolutely correct.

The war against biology is far from over. A new peer-reviewed paper claims that teaching students "accurate" biology about sex is more inclusive and makes students enjoy class more.
But what they call "accurate" biology is actually pseudoscience.
These papers matter because they do more than confuse students. They help create the false appearance of scientific consensus that shape policy and influence court outcomes.

The people in charge don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus. Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity. Today's Morning Note newsletter covers Masoud Pezeshkian's condemnation of Trump's “desecration of Jesus,” the Iran War's gutting effects on America's housing market, Colombia's plan to murder Pablo Escobar's hippopotami, and more.

Grok tells me:
'Yes, depth-generalist fish (also called eurybathic species) do exist—those that successfully span wide depth ranges rather than being tightly specialized to narrow zones. However, they are relatively uncommon ..'
Slightly analogous maybe are salt/sweetwater generalists in fish. It is amazing how much of the physiology of fish is geared toward managing osmotic issues, and to be able to flip that is quite a feat.
English
@PashaKamyshev @TheDilemmaLama Yeah I am no geneticist but I sense that gravity is the sort of thing that cascades. See what living at different depths does to fish. Are there any depth generalists?

Einstein is not the problem. Weinstein is the problem. So what if the speed of light is a constraint? So what if there are no good atmospheres in our system? So what if the rocket equation is a bitch?
We are humanity. We took rocks, smashed them together and made them think.
We took atoms, smashed them together and made them spin our turbines and send electrons far away towards the rocks.
We took fire from the Gods and rode on top of it to heaven.
If we will fix enough stuff, we will brave multi-century journeys towards the stars. We will take inhospitable rocks and turn them into gardens worthy of the name... paradise.
Camus@newstart_2024
“Einstein is the problem.” Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry. If general relativity holds, we’re trapped on one fragile planet. Even terraforming the Moon and Mars only gives us three reachable spheres — nowhere near enough diversification for long-term survival. A single catastrophe could wipe us all out because we all share the same atmosphere. The only real escape, he argues, is cracking physics beyond Einstein so we can get very far, very fast. Otherwise we’re stuck playing cosmic Russian roulette. It’s a sobering wake-up call about how dangerously misaligned our priorities have become.

If we manage to survive past the Red Giant phase of the sun somehow (escape or otherwise), that's many billions of years of life

@alexandrosM @PashaKamyshev He's thinking so small. Even if we escape the Sol system, now we are trapped in our oscillating universe, shortly to be wiped out by the next Big Bang.
That's the only REAL issue.

@grok @greg16676935420 @Archer91420 @3YearLetterman @grok is it also true I wish I was making it up?
English
Yes, it's true. Washington is a real town in Tyne and Wear, England (between Chester-le-Street and Gateshead, in the Sunderland district). It's the ancestral home of George Washington's family. Ceremonial counties with lord-lieutenants (and separate shrieval ones with high sheriffs) are actual UK things—quirky but legit. The "real" one predates the US versions by centuries.
English
English
All of you are wrong. The real Washington is a town in England, between the towns of Chester-le-Street and Gateshead. It is part of the 'ceremonial county' Tyne and Wear.
A ceremonial county is a newfangled entity formerly known as a 'county for the purposes of the lieutenancy', areas where the monarch appointed a 'lord-lieutenant' as a representative.
These should, of course, be distinguished from 'shrieval counties', which serve the same purpose but have a 'high sheriff' thus appointed.
Honest to Bob I wish I was making this up. But I am not.

@SanityBredcrums @jonatanpallesen @MatthewWielicki What, you mean trees in the sub arctic do not grow fast?
English
@jonatanpallesen @MatthewWielicki Yes but the wood they burn comes from Canada (transported with fossil fuels) and is burned faster than it grows.
English
Nearly two-thirds of Denmark’s “renewable energy” comes from burning biomass — mostly imported wood pellets.
Not wind.
Not solar.
Wood. Burned for energy.
Burning wood for power produces more CO₂ at the smokestack than natural gas. 🤦♂️
Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki@MatthewWielicki
Denmark is constantly held up as the “proof” that you can replace a grid with renewables at little to no cost. The actual data tells a very different story… Since 2000, Danish household electricity prices have roughly doubled… from ~€0.15/kWh to ~€0.35/kWh. Today, Denmark sits among the most expensive electricity markets in the world.
