lawrus
Well, because I'm a pedantic twat, they are animals so it's physically impossible for them to "testify". But to your actual question, it (1)
lawrus
is false because evidence gleaned from *any* animal can be admitted so long as the evidence meets certain arcane criteria. (2/end)
johnnyzcz
Ha yeah, I get what you're saying, but I mean nothing a dog utters on the stand would be admissible because it cannot swear/affirm, right?
johnnyzcz
That's one of the arcan(in)e criteria for admissibility of evidence in every jurisdiction - so that should bar(k) the evidence right there
lawrus
Sort of but not really. Swearing is only a requirement for evidence in the form of testimony. Dog evidence would be in a different form.
lawrus
The witness who explains the dog evidence would certainly have to swear (think police handler and drug dog)

#5 - "partially requiring an intense rescue operation". "Do we need to rescue them?" "Yeah but just the tip of the pod".
Painteagle
But why is this a big deal? The Pod was supposed to withstand the cold and vacuum of space. That water would have been nothing for it.
DavidAndrews
It turns out they actually just waited for better conditions because the cosmonauts were fine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_23
CherryMint42
Actually, spacecraft can be surprisingly fragile. Remember space is empty. Specifically, no air pressing down on the sides of the module.
CherryMint42
Hell, the Lunar lander on the apollo missions had some walls that were about as thick as a sheet or two of tin foil.
DavidAndrews
Lunar Lander vs thing designed to enter Earth's Atmosphere and specifically deal with pressure changes though.
CherryMint42
Again, the space ship is designed to deal with 0 to 1 atmospheres of pressure. Water is HEAVY. At ten meters deep, you're looking at 1/2
J4Wx
I guess since it had impacted on the ice, potential fractures in the pod perhaps?
Arconte1
They where not worried. The capsule had enough oxygen and obviously it's waterproof.
AllIHaveHadTodayIsLikeSixGummyBearsAndSomeScotch
It's built to withstand 0 to 1 atm of pressure. On the bottom of a lake you can have a few more than that.

You saw that too. I couldn't fit the life of me figure out what they meant by "partially"

They meant the lake partially refroze, comma placement is important!

I believe there were other factors that caused the rescue to be required besides the factors listed.

Not the way it's written. The coma before 'partially' means it has nothing to do with the qualification of the previous clause.

it is written incorrectly :O

If it's legal to put "Do not resuscitate" on a medical file, it should also be legal to take your own life.

Pretty sure it's "illegal" so that people are legally allowed to attempt to stop a suicidal person
enigma1235
"You stand accused of suicide, how do you plead?" ".............................."
mycatToastwasafatasshole
But that would be stepping on religion (that doesn't control anything, so sir-ee, separation of church and state is totally a thing).
NextineX
What the hell does being allowed to take your own life, have to do with religion?
mycatToastwasafatasshole
In the cases of medically assisted suicide, religions associates are the highest opposition. 1/2
mycatToastwasafatasshole
Bevause it's "against gods plan" and "you'd be playing god". Plus they believe you'll go straight to hell.
NextineX
And? Making something legal, that some religions want illegal, isn't a violation of church and state. How did you make that connection?
NextineX
It would be a violation of the separation of the church and state if they DID keep it illegal for the reasons you listed.
secretoaster
I think snipers account for the curvature of the earth when they shoot.
Hetzer
Also the spin of the bullet causes it to drift. That's why modern tanks are smoothbore, who needs spin when you have fin?
Attacker732
Actually, that's at best a secondary benefit. The primary benefits are that HEAT rounds don't work right in rifled barrels, and that... 1/2
Attacker732
2/2 ...Kinetic rounds can reach MUCH higher velocities in the same barrel length, vastly improving anti-armor performance of both rounds.
Hetzer
They also last longer. Why do HEAT rounds work better in a smoothbore? WWII is my forte when it comes to tanks so I'm not sure.
Attacker732
The spin imparted by rifling makes the jet of molten metal less focused, meaning it doesn't burn through as much armor as it could.
Hetzer
Interesting, I never would have thought the spin would have much of an effect considering the speed of the jet.
wagerobi
What is this curvature you guys keep talking about?
Unquote
it's what your mum has waaay too much of.
UndercoverMoose
We all know that the earth is flat. They're not fooling us.
pigno
No. They account for Coriolis apparent force, due to earth rotation.
UltimateQueefMachine
So they count for a spherical spinney thing. Same difference
NOINOON
Why that's most retarded! You know gravity and wind are caused by the same spherical spinny thing too?

Sniper terminology, got it

Exactly. As a sniper for seal team six with over 800 confirmed kills, I had no idea what they meant until I heard spherical spinny thing.
szepasszony
The atmosphere rotates with the earth
DavidBrooker
This is a ballistic effect, not a fluid-dynamic effect. Although a similar effects acting on the atmosphere are well known.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
And it rotates faster at the equator and slower at the poles. That's why it matters.
HairyClackerBag
I don't think snipers can shoot THAT far.

Clearly, it's colloquial shorthand for "bullet intended for use in a high-power and long range rifle".
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
Coriolis effect acts on all bullets no matter the speed or distance
nopo
Sure, but most bullets don't travel far enough for it to be noticeable.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
Depends on your expectations.
YesPleaseSomeMore
The statement is about target moving because of earth's rotation. That is completely false, as the bullet and target have the same momentum
szepasszony
But the atmosphere moves with the earth
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
Not at the same speed at all points.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
No they don't. A target at the north pole would have much less spin momentum than a bullet fired from the equator. It is simple stuff.
GermanIrishEngineering
http://thearmsguide.com/5329/external-ballistics-the-coriolis-effect-6-theory-section/
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
Why don't you do a little research before spouting shit? The coriolis effect comes from the rotation.
GermanIrishEngineering
It has more to do with centripetal force that the target actually moving.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
The bullet retains the spin momentum from the earth spinning. That's all there is to it.
FriendlyNeighbour
The coriolis force probably would cause more problems here dependent onhow long the bullet is in the air.
GermanIrishEngineering
So if your shooting north and south, you wont have any correction, unlike how some people think it works.
FriendlyNeighbour
Actually you would still need to correct for the coriolis force if your target is far away.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
No, shooting along the equator is the only way to get around it.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
Shooting from north to south would have the most effect actually.

As an exjw it's a twisted unscriptural belief. It's meant to create martyrs. Early on Jws didn't allow organ transplants either.
lrrc49
They were also anti vaxers from the start, a belief they also reversed later. Again tho ppl were harmed due to following the watchtower
lrrc49
They later reversed that belief on organ transplants but ppl died because of the unneeded doctrine.
Greyeyes1973
As an ex JW, There are lots of non blood expanders with less risk, and more hospitals offer bloodless surgeries including open heart.
szepasszony
Can't you donate your own blood to be used if you need a surgery? (assuming you're strong enough)
Greyeyes1973
No, because of the command in the old testament that any blood should not be eaten and blood should be poured on the ground.
ThePastmaster
JW tried to hook one of my co-workers grandma. She said: "I can't eat blood sausage no more?! Get the fuck out! D:<"
SpammyTesteri
Never met a Jehovah's witness who respected that God wants us to help ourselves, call a doctor rather than expecting God to fix everything.
DorMin2
Reminds me of the joke about the priest who goes out on a boat and gets into difficulties. Three other boats pass by and offer to rescue him
DorMin2
But he turns them away insisting that God will save him. His boat eventually sinks and he drowns. Up in heaven, he asks God why He didn't
DorMin2
save him. God replies "I sent you three boats, what more do you want?"
Greyeyes1973
That is horribly incorrect. They openly welcome treatment. They simply abstain from blood transfusions, and helped Pioneer bloodless surgery
SpammyTesteri
Why do they abstain from blood transfusions? God gave us the intellect to heal ourselves but man wrote the Bible.
Greyeyes1973
Because the bible commands to refrain from blood in any way because it's sacred. It's the biggest reason bloodless surgery is growing
Greyeyes1973
Many hospitals have bloodless surgery centers because of it. Much less risk than using blood that could be contaminated less side effect s
