De absolute onwil om scammers aan te pakken en er bewust mee van de profiteren is criminele medeplichtigheid. Facebook is een criminele organisatie en zou als dusdanig vervolgd moeten worden.
Een falende regering die hier niet tussenkomt.

"Due to the NRA’s extremely friendly and effective ties to politics, observers expect to see this ban passed into law by US Congress within the month. The New Year could thus see the start of deportations of the 323 million people currently living in the USA."

Order out of chaos:
A new universal law mathematically predicts the size distribution of fragments when objects shatter, accurately describing patterns across brittle solids and liquids under random breakage conditions. doi.org/qf98
New universal law predicts how most objects shatter, from dropped bottles to exploding bubbles
When a plate drops or a glass smashes, you're annoyed by the mess and the cost of replacing them. But for some physicists, the broken pieces are a source of fascination: Why does everything break into such a huge variety of sizes?

Ipv de lasten op alle arbeid te verlagen wordt de sociale zekerheid verder uitgehold.
Om dan weer te zeggen dat er geen alternatief is dan snoeien in de sociale rechten qua pensioenen enzo.

Naar centen luistert de regering altijd. Daarom:
Als er genoeg gestaakt wordt zodat de industrie de regering begint op te bellen "wij missen hier een hoop volk, werknemers die thuis moesten blijven om op de kinderen te passen of er niet geraakten met OV," dan zal Brussel wel gehoor geven aan de stakers.

Eh!? How does a dense cloud that is collapsing to form a star produce UV !? 🤯
Current starbirth scenario:
Cold clouds collapse gravitationally, get warmer, emit infrared so they cool, collapse further, emit IR, etc.
Hot gas responsible for UV would heat up the cloud and resists collapse! 🤷
