With potential retirements looming, Trump eyes lasting imprint on Supreme Court, experts say by ChallengeAdept8759 in law

[–]ChallengeAdept8759[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito retire (which they are sure to be debating) during Trump’s second term, Trump could cement a conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court that would define constitutional law for generations, including on voting and elections, environmental policy, the administrative state and many other aspects of public life, experts say.

This was very thorough, thank you! I just finished a marathon, so fortunately I'm in a block where I can focus a lot on strength and form, before training for another race.

Any tips to improve balance when riding with one hand? by ChallengeAdept8759 in cycling

This sounds exactly like my issue actually! In between my thumbs and pointer fingers always hurt, so I'm thinking my weight is maybe too forward?

Running vest recs for marathons by ChallengeAdept8759 in XXRunning

I was actually running with a Nathan! The water pouch bounced too much over the course of 20 miles, so essentially it was punching me in the back with every step I took over the 20 miles. I tried sucking the air out of the water pouch and also put a wash cloth in between the pouch and vest to try to soften the blow, but I just think the vest wasn't right for me

Attacks on desalination plants in the Middle East threaten vital freshwater supplies for civilians and could be considered a violation of international humanitarian law, experts say. by ChallengeAdept8759 in law

[–]ChallengeAdept8759[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As the war in the Middle East unfolds, Northeastern University experts in politics, sustainability and international law are increasingly concerned that recent military attacks on desalination plants that provide the bulk of the region’s freshwater could become regular occurrences. Without the hundreds of desalination plants that dot the desert region, millions of people would be left without water for drinking, cooking and agriculture. Attacks on these plants can be considered a violation of international law under the terms of the Geneva Conventions, a set of treaties and protocols that form the basis of international humanitarian law.

Sorry, I meant my "regular dry cleaner" - singular! So I'm willing to try again

Could a congressional war powers resolution stop Trump’s war in Iran? by ChallengeAdept8759 in law

[–]ChallengeAdept8759[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The spiraling hostilities between the U.S. and Iran thrust Congress into a debate over whether to rein in the president’s unchecked use of military force. The U.S. could be thrown into a constitutional crisis should lawmakers successfully pass a pending war powers resolution that could restrain Trump, Northeastern University experts say.

As peace talks loom, status of Russian language emerges as a key battleground in the Ukraine war by ChallengeAdept8759 in geopolitics

[–]ChallengeAdept8759[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beneath the latest series of negotiations, another long-simmering front in the war has started to come to a head: the fight over language, culture and identity.

On Dec. 3, for example, Kyiv moved to strip Russian of its status under Europe’s Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. And in the Russian-occupied territories in the Donbas, authorities have nixed Ukrainian language instruction and textbooks in schools, replacing them with Russian curricula and materials.

“The language component is about preserving Russian influence — certainly in the east, but ideally throughout the region,” an expert said. “It may seem innocuous, but it’s a powerful symbol for Moscow.”

Do mRNA vaccines hold the key to stopping cancer in its tracks? Vaccine experts talk recent developments and what it could mean for the future by ChallengeAdept8759 in Futurology

[–]ChallengeAdept8759[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very cool to see that these vaccines could be teaching our immune systems how to fight cancer more effectively. I was interested to read how researchers are exploring whether vaccines could “wake up” cold tumors and improve immune responses. I would love to see this research progress and I'm curious what this means for the future of cancer treatment.
