There are very few 4-6 year olds that can use words like clone and chimera as fluently as she does. The same exposure probably explains her knowledge of Latin, which is the most common ancient language prep schools teach.

I have a helpdesk interview next week and I dont know if my attire looks good or ridiculously goofy.985·2 years agoIf you want your shirt to be buttoned all the way to the top, I would recommend pairing it with a tie. In addition, I might consider a lighter shirt as the overall outfit is pretty dark.
Don’t stress it too much though, your outfit is perfectly fine! Go ahead and kill it!

Unless your position is that all of Israel is occupied territory, in which case I invite you to take a look at what Palestinians did the moment they gained power over Jewish civilians and imagine that scene repeated across Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

I don’t think there’s a judge or jury on the planet who would seriously buy that a search engine is as addictive as actual drugs, or that someone making a hyperbolic statement to that effect is an indication of genuine belief. Sure hope the DOJ has more aces up their sleeve cause the limited amount that has made it out seems like a fairly pathetic showing.

This whole thing screams “VC scam” to me so I haven’t bothered looking into the actual patents, but I’m sure there’s more to it than just “person sat on a patent for 20 years”.

The Biden administration is close to deciding it will provide Ukraine with a version of ATACMS long-range missiles armed with cluster bomblets rather than a single warhead, according to several people familiar with the ongoing deliberations.
Biden moved during the summer from a firm and long-standing “no” to saying the issue was “still in play.” Although the administration backed away from initial concerns that Kyiv would use the long-range weapons to strike inside Russian territory, the Pentagon still worried that drawing down enough ATACMS from relatively small military stockpiles to make a difference on the Ukraine battlefield would undercut the readiness of U.S. forces for other possible conflicts.
But the cluster-armed version of ATACMS are more plentiful than those topped with a single — or “unitary” — warhead and are no longer considered a front-line U.S. weapon. From an estimated original production of 2,500, some from the early 1990s, an unknown number were later refitted with unitary warheads, according to a fiscal year 2018 Defense Department publication. But many of the cluster variant remain in stockpiles. Consideration of the cluster warhead ATACMS was first reported by Reuters.
