For my explanation I take a further definition of hand and handedness, maybe you find it compelling.
They have no hands because a hand has chirality, from the Greek word for hand. This means that it's mirror image can not be overlayed or superimposed with the original object and there is a distinction between left and right hand.
The hand of a Lego figurine lacks this very specific property.
No it is not.
It is not a primary source, it is a collection of some sources, the information is freely edited by anyone.
People who put a lot of effort into piling up the knowledge of humanity into the Wikipedia are just human.
Even though it is one of the most valuable collections of human knowledge and a giant effort, with absolute astonishing quality, that is also free and easy accessable to everyone, it isn't safe.
You can never trust it, you can not cite it and you should know it is full of mistakes.
Better check the sources for yourself, it is sometimes worthy to take a look at the discussion.
If you stumble upon a mistake, you are accosted to improve upon it, using the edit function.
All these data points crystalize out from these two events and seem connected. Even though there are a million other data points to both stories, that are not similar.
For example, Mr Kennedy was 3.2 inches smaller than Mr Lincoln.
What is amazing is your ability, to find this seemingly similar data of both events.
But you also forgot some, did you know both wore a top hat during their inauguration?
This is usually explained with focus selective perception. We love to find patterns, since they give us a feeling of connection. From this sometimes knowledge emerges.
Politicians failing to read the writing on the wall, then overcorrecting and acting devoid of all humanity and only for selfish reasons is the norm, sadly.
What the conspiracy theory is doing, is proposing this to be a clever move, when selfishness and stupidity also suffice as explanation.
> selfishness and stupidity also suffice as explanation
The problem though is that almost all societies, before us, considered stupidity to not be an excuse for any crime, for similar reasons to "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." This was because, as another principle I'm forgetting the name of points out, stupidity is indistinguishable from competently-executed malice. If competently-executed malice is always explained away as stupidity, there's no such thing as malice. (The only obvious exception, of course, being manifest insanity.)
Politicians conveniently suffer from amnesia, when pressed on some issues, concerning money, who they have met or what was shared with them.
That is to say stupidity works as an excuse, even though we don't like it.
"Competently-executed" is taking it too far. Look at the mess, it's all childish and cruel.
There is another one concerning stupidity. It is that stupidity and love can not be differentiated from the outside. Not knowing if you are in love or just stupid, is in essence a heartbreak.
Imagine sending help in form of water, food or school equipment to children in a warzone being equated to aiding terrorism.
Feels like reading about the "turbo encabulator". Also converting sound into electrical energy isn't the first thing that comes to mind to drive an ultra silent submarine.
Surprisingly it is still plausible. It is a niche application for a very specific form factor and purpose.
They told me, people would drink themselves to death more easily. So it was only reserved for people who were clearly in control, I may have seen one patient with it and hundreds of hardcore alcoholics.
The patient on them, needed to be isolated and we all got informed to not give him alcohol under any circumstances.
Which is much more difficult, then one would think. These people always talk about alcohol romantically.
The alcoholis always find a way to get to alcohol, we had a reductive approach on station. There was 2 beers a day, one with breakfast and one with a late dinner. Which was offered open and could be willingly declined, it rarely was.
If problem arose during the stay, we had shots of clear alcohol, just don't show the bottle.
This was for the hardcore patients, who couldn't even walk otherwise. Get a shot, get an x-ray, really speed things along.
The idea was to get them down to a state, were you could manage them somewhat, reduce their pressure and then offer treatment for their other ills, which was our responsibility.
It is extremely difficult, we had people drink perfume and hand sanitizer, because we didn't offer the beers and their alcoholism slipped under the radar. They would never admit to drinking. Alcoholism is such a crazy disease, these people can emotionally blackmail others to bring them alcohol and lieing is part of the disease. Those people ignore or don't even comprehend that they are drinking sometimes.
Beer and Champaign aren't alcohol to them and are ignored, they will tell you they haven't had a drink in a three weeks stay, having 2 beers a day and half a bottle of liquor, that you provided. It is crazy.
Giving them medication, that can kill them when they empty their bottle of liquor, is stupid.
Seems impossible, to have a medication that eliviates the effects of hardcore alcohol withdrawal, but is also harmless with a bottle of hard liquor.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but sounds to good to be true.
I don't believe in magic pills. Try honesty, the self-delusion of alcohol is the big problem. Pills are another form of delusion.
Just accept to feel horrible for a while as part of the process?
Or is taking a pill so vastly different from talking a shot of liquor?
That's difficult, motivation is the ultimate key.
I love to unwind, doing something else, startet wakeboarding and smashing my face in water.
Started a weird obsession of meeting real people playing some GO, chatting and loosing.
Something about trying new things and being horrible at them, makes the day to day the dorment state. I feel relaxed with task I can complete and excitement for what comes so natural to others but is beyond my abilities. I wish I could just slide on water or see the spaces for the stones.
Something different, something just for you.
Otherwise it is only the lonely mind against the void. Problems you can't explain to anyone, pushing the wheel of death to move at all.
There is no pushing through, there is no holding out, it is what it is. Kneip it, hot then cold, enjoy the change don't suffer one too long. Accept both states as what they are. It got me so far.
But what do I know. Not at it for so long, but I accept my depressions when autumn changes leafs.
This is a month away in the north, so enjoy the sun and don't worry so much. When it is cold and dark outside it is easy to be productive.
