Re: Legal experts worldwide draw up ‘historic’ definition of ecocide

Re: USA News and Discussions
How's that working out for ya? It is working just fine to date. The citation of Reich merely reinforces my point. Manchin bends over backward to try to find some middle ground with the Republicans, and they just play him for a fool. Again, this reveals how totally extreme the Republicans have becom...

Re: Quantum Computing News and Discussions
^^^Probably should have a thread in both forums. In the physics forum for articles that are more theoretical, and in the computers and internet forum for more commercial applications. Just my two cents cuz you guys are much better at those sorts of decisions than yours truly.
