TIL before 1985 Swiss husband could sell the house without his wife's saying or manage the assets that the wife brought into the marriage. In the referendum just 54% of voters supported changing marriage and inheritance law.

"Iβm a simple man, and physics is supposed to be simple rules describing reality, so we can, like, invent transistors and stuff. The Born rule pretty much says what the thing youβre measuring is. Attributing mystical many worlds to solutions of the Schroedinger equation or the act of measurement seems to be self indulgent piffle to me. At the very least, βshut up and calculateβ seems to apply here, even though the observer created universe idea impresses women with large collections of quartz crystals. Born rule is the answer: the end. The other stuff is making the category error that the wave function describes the dynamics of an individual particle, or is physically real somehow. It just doesnβt. There is no evidence that it does. People should stop stabbing themselves in the eye asserting otherwise. Donβt take the cork off the fork. Personally I happen to think thereβs work to do on pre-quantum stuff a la Khrennikov or tβHooft, or Stochastic electrodynamics or Zitterbewegung (fine, the wave function is ontic here, but it doesnβt bother me in this case) or whatever, but thatβs another argument."

Ice fairs on the River Thames - plus earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mass starvation due to famine: could the world be heading for a repeat of the dreaded Maunder Minimum which caused temperatures to plummet in the late 17th and early 18th centuries? Professor Valentina Zharkova is the Ukrainian-born Mathematician and Physicist who has been studying solar cycles and says the signs arenβt good. She talks about: why Western science is so rubbish; how the global warming industry has tried to close her down; the significance of solar magnetism on climate; how bad it all could get.

Senator Jacob Howard authored the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment in 1866.
He stood on the floor of the United States Senate and said it himself. The amendment would NOT include, he stated, "persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens."
Read that again. The author. His own words. On the record.
The 14th Amendment was written for one purpose. To grant citizenship to freed slaves after the Civil War. That was the whole point. That was the entire debate.
Nobody in that Senate chamber was talking about people sneaking across a border a century later and having a baby.
Yet here we are. A clause written to correct the injustice of slavery has been twisted into a loophole that hands out citizenship like candy to anyone whose mother can make it to American soil in time.

The official narrative was the father recognized the rifle on TV, confronted the kid, the kid confessed, they called a friend who was a Sheriff, he confessed to him, and they had the kidβs confession to it online. Now it turns out the rifle shown was a stock photo, not the real rifle, the kid never confessed to anyone, the family doesnβt think he did it, and the online confession was posted while the kid was in custody and had no access to a phone. https://x.com/DiligentDenizen/status/2071629677979197661
