Yes, what we call the speed of light is really the speed of light in a vacuum. When light passes through a medium like water or glass it travels slower. That causes the light to be refracted which means that it changes direction slightly based on the energy of the light (color) and the refractory index the material. Glass will refract a red laser by a certain amount while water will refract it by a different amount.

Fun fact, because different colors refract differently, when you shine a white light through a specially shaped piece of glass called a prism, you will see a rainbow pattern.

When I go to bed I put my pill bottle in one place. When I take the pill in the morning, I put it in a different place. I've considered buying one of those timer bottle caps. They fit generic pill bottles and have timer built into the top. You can look at the timer and see how long it's been since you opened the bottle last.

Some pig in Florida emptied his gun into a neighborhood...

No, its' better than that. He emptied it into his own squad car. And in a real tribute to his training, he never even hit the handcuffed suspect he had inside the squad car.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!"

I don't think she was playing alone in the yard. The uncle was there and told her to go inside and she ignored him. As for coyotes, with a rottie and springer in the yard, no coyote would be an issue.

However, if you tell the kid to go inside by their mom, tell the mom that you did so. Uncle was a dumb shit. You can't count on a three year old to do as they're told.

Nonsense. It's a job like any other. Stop projecting your morality on everyone else. She didn't do anything wrong at all. She didn't hurt anyone. You have no right to judge her.

The car was moving very slowly. The cop had a choice. Get out of the way and arrest her later, or go straight to extra-judicial execution. He made the wrong choice.

Cops are well aware standing in front of a car gives them a free pass killing someone who attempts to escape.

Not to mention, standing in front of a car driven by a POC who has every reason to expect the cops to shoot them anyway. That person is already frightened and likely panicked and not thinking clearly. Putting yourself in front of a car with a panicked driver who is justifiably in fear for their life is incredibly stupid.

Also, what is with cops just repeating the same command over and over again and refusing to otherwise interact with the person. Are they trying to make the situation worse? Why not try and de-escalate the situation. Oh, that's right, they want a reason to shoot people.

Probably too late. If the DA doesn't need anything they have, they are not going to offer them anything to flip. IANAL, but as I understand it, it's generally just the first one to flip that gets a deal. Everyone else is fucked unless they know something that the first guy to flip didn't.

I can't tell who are scorpions and who are frogs, but I'm looking forward to watching them all drowning in the river.

So, if Donnie is convicted of instigating the Jan-6 insurrection, could they they hit him with Felony Murder charges? People died as a direct result of the insurrection and D.C. has a Felony Murder rule.

This is kind of like time travel in a way. If one were to go back in time, you would mainly need to worry about the diseases and parasites you bring back with you. You are descended from those who learned to survive the diseases of the past so you are likely to have some resistance to it. You wouldn't be perfectly safe of course, but not likely at more risk than if you stayed in your own time.

On the other hand, if you travel forward in time, like this nematode did, you are entering a realm that is full of virus, bacteria, and even fungus that have had decades to learn new tricks to survive that you would have no inherent resistance to.

The chance of there being some sleeping time bomb in the permafrost seems low to me since everything alive today is descended from those who survived that germ or parasite in the past.

Sadly, they'll all be found guilty but too old and white to actually go to prison for their crimes.
