"The key to proper anion design for the second component requires that the anionic complex is labile and stable toward reactions with the cationic metallocene in the final catalyst species. We have discovered that anions which are stable toward reactions with water or Bronsted acids and which do not have acidic protons located on the exterior of the anion (i.e. anionic complexes which do not react with strong acids or bases) possess the stability necessary to qualify as a stable anion for the catalyst system. The properties of the anion which are important for maximum lability include overall size, and shape (i.e. large radius of curvature), and nucleophilicty."

CDC won't release the vaccine data it has been accumulating for over a year now because the data might be "misinterpreted" by anti-vaxxers.
The overseas data is showing that getting the clot shot makes you more likely to get COVID.
I presume the CDC data will show the same thing.

The current claim that the shot only reduces severity, not risk of getting COVID is not what was claimed originally (and supposedly backed by SCIENCE!) and its also what the current laws are based on.
If the clot shot only reduces severity of the disease then the line of argument the Junta has been making for forcing the jab has no basis in logic.

There should never exist in any Western nation even the concept of "Emergencies Act".
Inalienable Rights are just that. No one but God (who doesn't change) has the authority to define Rights, nor no human being has the authority to void them whenever - especially when it is just politically convenient.
It isn't just Consent of the Governed (it is), but that how one person can unilaterally declare that any human right is void during a time of chaos and uncertainty is absolutely insane. Very few people make good decisions when in a highly fluid, volatile and life/death situations when there is very little information, time for soul searching, analysis and sober reflection.
The Emergency Act is putting liquid oxygen on a fire. The concept alone is profane and an enemy of reason and experience.

"The key to proper anion design for the second component requires that the anionic complex is labile and stable toward reactions with the cationic metallocene in the final catalyst species. We have discovered that anions which are stable toward reactions with water or Bronsted acids and which do not have acidic protons located on the exterior of the anion (i.e. anionic complexes which do not react with strong acids or bases) possess the stability necessary to qualify as a stable anion for the catalyst system. The properties of the anion which are important for maximum lability include overall size, and shape (i.e. large radius of curvature), and nucleophilicty."

I presume the CDC data will show the same thing.
__________
IIRC, that Israeli study showed that the vax provides a couple of months of protection against whatever variation it was developed for. IOW, if a person got the shot for delta, they'd be protected against delta for a short time, but they would then be MORE susceptible to infection from other variations than the un-vaxxed.
That's why when omicron came along, all those delta-vaxed people started getting infected.
And that's just one of the short-term consequences of the vaccines. We still don't know the long-term consequences, although we do know that the CDC has been secretly studying reported cognitive problems caused by the shots. But they're not telling us about that data either, because . . . shut up, peons!

Junior has decided that he is interested in The Lord of the Rings. I have no idea why or how because I haven't pushed it on him at all.
But, after about a month of asking, we started film version of The Fellowship of the Ring a couple of weekends ago. Being 7, he could only sit for so long and we got through about 2/3 of it. We finished it last weekend. By the battle at Amon Hen he was swinging a pretend sword around with the action. He's excited about continuing into The Two Towers next weekend.

Probably. But even if he wasn't, the city and state leadership who could have "reformed" police methods were donks and had been for years. But Trump was conveniently blamed, which led to the insurrection attack on the WH that followed, along with burning and looting in cities with nothing to do with the police procedures that allegedly helped along, though did not cause, Floyd's demise. Do you recall any prominent GOP making this case? I sure don't.

A legitimate technique when you're introducing a book by one of your writers, but not so much at other times.
I have Cerf's Modern Library edition of Three Famous Murder Novels, with Before the Fact and Trent's Last Case in it. Cerf mentions, I think, that the famous student of human sexuality Havelock Ellis was a big fan of the third novel, The House of the Arrow -- but Cerf admits it was Ellis who told him about the novel in the first place, so that's legit.

We finished it last weekend. By the battle at Amon Hen he was swinging a pretend sword around with the action. He's excited about continuing into The Two Towers next weekend.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least. I do not trust any politician or talking head to be free of graft and influence. And since every time we discuss the Convention here, people bring up how easy it would be for the left to subvert the Constitution and replace it with some nebulous Federation charter,* a Convention would be a Soros wet dream.
*trivia: in the original Star Fleet Technical Manual, the "Federation Charter" was a direct copy of the UN Charter.

I'm just wary of pushing any of these things too hard on him. About six months ago I was convinced that he would love Raiders of the Lost Ark, and he ended up just miserable. I can just imagine my dad sitting me down and demanding that I watch Lawrence of Arabia at 7 (he didn't do that), and how it would have set me against it. I don't want to make that mistake again.

William Goldman is an author any aspiring writer should study. Not only did a lot of his stuff get turned into movies, he adapted many of them himself, and kept his trademark: The One Line That Changes Everything. See in Butch Cassidy, when we think Sundance is about to rape Etta Place, making her take off her clothes at gunpoint . . . and then she murmurs, "Just once I wish you'd be on time!"

Canada isn't a dictatorship yet but the Trudy regime is off to a good start. The citizen video of the Surete Quebec throwing their weight around is gobsmacking and infuriating in equal measure. I think the best thing the truckers and their allies can do now is do a wildcat general strike. They stop working and walk away, citing Trudy's bad leadership as the reason. Let's see if his police state measures are still popular after no work is done for a month.

That's the reason for a lot of the overreach. They could have ended this simply by arresting the truckers, on whatever trumped up charges. But they went for "we'll freeze bank accounts, revoke passports, sell trucks, etc."
That's to terrorize the rest into compliance, with the knowledge that there are no longer any legal restrictions on the regime, and it could just as easily break a strike by these same means.

I like it. It's a deeply compromised production (the rotoscoping was largely a late-stage cost cutting technique), and the lack of "Part 1" in the title apparently confused audiences, but I find it entertaining enough.
I wouldn't have given the assignment to Bakshi, a filmmaker I largely don't like, but he managed well enough with his limited resources.

I said the same thing at the time the movie came out.

No. I do not concede that white people are holding blacks back. People who refuse to push the kids to do well in school, who encourage a culture of "baby-daddies" and who promote "don't act white" are holding themselves back and knee capping their kids. Shifting "blame whitey" for your ignorance and entitlement, doesn't solve anything, keeps the myth alive to be tossed around like a hot potato, and guarantees more affirmative action and destruction of educational standards.

In my opinion, LoTR requires/ed a traditional approach to bring it to life.
There was no budget to make the film appropriately in those days. Even if there had been the budget, not even Disney could have brought it off.
Had there been a director with the vision and balls to attack the books, the technology wasn't there to make it work.
LoTR was , and is best as Theater of the Mind...

I am envious of your poster. There are reprints out there somewhere, but the original would pleade me greatly. I love Bakshi's film because for years it was the only film game in town. I collected the 25mm minis and related tabletop games by Heritage Miniatures. Bakshi got his budget slashed halfway through the production, and it shows. What could have been done with another $1million! On the plus side of fandom Peter S. Beagle did the screenplay, and it's stripped-down Tolkien text more often than not.

happy memories. I was a total Tolkiein dork as a kid and dug up everything - including that atrocious animated Hobbit - anyway the Bakshi film made a huge impression.had no idea it was Beagle who wrote the screenplay!
=======
Beagle got paid $5,000 with the offer of having one of his own works made into a film. He got the money, but not the film. I don't know for sure, but I think the property in question was The Last Unicorn.

Yeah, he wrote several good novels, and I really liked The Folk of the Air. But yeah, he's always going to be The Last Unicorn, and at least he could take some consolation in the fans' love.

Blacks have been willing partners in creating -- and sustaining -- the systems that have kept them down. Sure, white leftists originated the ideas for exploiting blacks (LBJ's "I'll keep them n---ers voting for Democrats for the next hundred years," Margaret Sanger's dreams of eliminating blacks through abortion, etc.), but their schemes could never have worked but for the active participation of blacks themselves.

I think I read that it was really just a cost cutting measure. It's why they're almost uniformly black. They were running out of time and money and just made it as simple to animate as possible.

Makes sense. But the movie wasn't bloody, so their cost-cutting didn't hurt it too much.

Blacks in this country have the same exact opportunities as everyone else. They mostly choose not to pursue those opportunities. It's self inflicted for the most part in my experience. I went to High School in an inner City HS and I saw that play out in real life.
