That's not entirely true. There have been many very scientifically successful religious universities. That said, MAGA Christians are not the type that would create a free thinking institution.

At this point, migrating them to the west bank and then just closing off the borders with Palestine would probably be best. Pull back the Israeli settlers, give Palestine any lands that are majority Palestinians, and just shut off contact with them. The two sides aren't going to come to a unified living situation in the next 100 years, so giving them plenty of space to be their own nation and treating them like any other nation would be best.

That would be in the west bank, not Gaza. Gaza has very steady borders and no encroachment for a long time and Gaza is where the attack came from.

There's simply no way to build in a backup system here. It wasn't a matter of getting them down but getting them out of their seats without falling. Even if it had a roof, you can't open the seats and have users dump out. Could easily kill someone

Even having an opinionated choice would be better than what we currently have.

It's horrible but trying to force-ably separate them at this point would only lead to the minors being hidden from view, deepening the abuse. Additionally, the minors are highly unlikely to actually leave their spouse, no matter how bad their situation is. Adding fuel to the "society doesn't want us together" would only serve to deepen the minor's distrust in everyone but their spouse, making it much harder to help them from any ongoing abuse.

Maybe pig colons are next up on the transplant list.

The real reason it takes time is because we try not to harm people even in experimental drug testing. It would be much faster to simply toss shit at the wall and see what sticks, but that's not exactly humane. So we have to find analogues that hopefully mimick humans will enough, but they don't really work well. So it takes lots of time to build up enough evidence with those preliminary tests to convince the safety board to allow human trials. Then trials have to slowly scale up to limit the amount of people harmed by unforseen effects with a lot of time between as the safety board reviews the previous results before allowing the next test.

It's all good to do, but it does make development frustratingly slow sometimes. Especially when people are actively dying waiting for the new drugs.

Hopefully they'll actually use an active dock with cooling this time rather than the simple stand that comes with the Switch 1.

No but it does need enough performance to be capable of running games in low quality modes. The Switch is so anemic that many big budget games are simply not even trying anymore as performant running can't be achieved without complete rewrites of engine code. So a better Switch that is at least a low spec gaming computer will enable more big games to many the effort of trying to support it.

Probably no where. They likely just left Twitter and carried on with whatever else they were doing.
