I wish that injustice didn’t happen to you, but I believe it did. Also, it tracks with some of the “issues” with speedy trials in the U.S.

Depending on jurisdiction the clock “stops” when there’s a undecided motion in front of the court and in those jurisdictions it’s relatively easy for a prosecutor and a judge to conspire to put off a “speedy” trial arbitrarily long. I’m sure such tactics could give grounds for appeal, and might even be standing to sue the judge, prosecutor, and jurisdiction for violating your constitutional rights, but they’ll definitely work at least until the are properly and expensively challenged to establish precedent. Plus, I know sometimes constitutional rights are held to protect someone from federal action, but most criminal complains are handled by the states, and not every state has a “speedy trail” in their state constitution.

The criminal system in the U.S. is too easily abused by authority; we need real reform. I think we need do need jails and prisons and adversarial court cases, but there’s got to be some way to get by with fewer of them.

Depends on the jurisdiction, but in most of the U.S. “speedy” (~90 days) is actually the default, and you have to waive your right to one if you’d like more time.

I believe most defendants choose to waive their right to a speedy trial in order to have more time to prepare. It’s so common that many judges schedule themselves under that assumption and some will even be biased against persons that do not waive that right.

[Judge] Murphy was angry with [attorney] Weinstock because the public defender wouldn’t waive a client’s right to a speedy trial, the complaint says.

Even an arrest is temporary if we haven’t thrown out due process. Habeas Corpus means a judge has to look at things, and decide to extend the detention until trial. Also, the trial has to be “speedy”.

It’s probably not good that there is a mechanism for legally detaining someone for months without them being an imminent threat to themselves or others. But, that’s been status quo as long as I’ve been drawing breath, so I’m used to it.

I think you are running a risk of No True Scotsman, but I agree that detoxified masculinity rejects controlling persons.

Agreed. I tend toward more literal translations for instruction/explanation – it made things stick better for me when learning Spanish. But, yes, in context “harder” is a definitely a more useful translation.

“tres bien” is “very good”

“si vous plait” is like “please”

“plus fort” is like “more strength”

I’ve never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from “throwaway” French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.

So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.

I want to live in a world where no entity gets to use my organs without my consent. I want to live in an equitable / just world.

Therefore, I want to live in a world where no fetus gets to use any person’s uterus without their consent. I support access to abortion.

He agrees; no one should take health advice from him.

All of this early research, led to suspicion that aluminium from various sources, such as cookware, foods, vaccines and even water, could be linked to Alzheimer’s. However, through continued investigation, research has disproved this early evidence, and aluminium hasn’t since been found to be a direct cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Almost all scientists today focus on other areas of research, and most experts believe aluminum does not pose any threat.

Nobel prize-winning anti-parasitic for humans, yes.

Several studies show no statistically significant effect on COVID-19 length or severity.

You can do single-blind. You do prep, anesthetize, then open the card that decides if the surgery continues, or if the patient is simply awakened at the expected time.

You can also do it for surgeries that use locals, but then the surgical staff has to do a lot of miming/acting instead of actual cutting.

Medlife Crisis did a couple of Placebo effect videos, and mentioned that he participated in a single-blind stent study.

I don’t know how you’d do double-blind.

… for now.

What is “this”?

I’m not confident resuscitation will ever be possible (I believe I said “1% of 1%” in another post). It’s almost certainly not going to happen in 15 years (one demographic generation). If it is possible, It might happen in 150 years. We’ve only had integrated circuits for 65 years, so I really don’t have a good idea about what might be possible 150 years after my death.

I do think ASC could become the procedure that is adopted by cryonics organizations within a generation. I don’t think cryonics will ever be very popular because it promises very little and has so far delivered even less. By the time that changes, we might not need cryonics much.

I think the most likely future outcome is that under global climate collapse (before 2063, but after 2040) preservation of Alcor patients can no longer attract enough resources and fails, but so does the Internet, most large electrical grids, and industry regresses so that fossil fuels and most rare earths are no longer accessible, and the next Chicxulub event ends the homo genus.

Well, I’ll be incapable of action or observation, so there’s always going to be an element of trust. For many people that means having their family or close friend observe the procedure and storage, maybe even “visit”. I don’t know exactly who I would ask to do that, but I have 3 candidates. The executor of my estate would have to sue for breach of contract if the service was not satisfactorily provided.

Alcor has information about how they get paid: https://www.alcor.org/membership/ and I’m sure other providers also have similar information available.

At one point, I thought Alcor provided “tours” for prospective members to show how/where they would be “treated” when they become patients, tho I don’t know how helpful that would be except to show they do have space/infrastructure to hold and maintain the dewars. I do think I’d want to see some details about the facilities before I actually sign up. I think some members are involved in patient care, which gives them confidence that when they become a patient they will receive good care from the remaining members – tho, that reasoning can come off a bit “cult-y”. As far as I know, there’s no standards / regulations that could be used to objectively judge the quality of cryonic preservation.

I’m most familiar with Alcor, but I can’t say they will always be (or currently are!) the best choice. Their procedure is, last I checked, not what https://www.brainpreservation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/letterofsupportforasc_kennethhayworth_jan2018-signed.pdf recommends. It’s similar, but as far as I know, NO organization has really turned ASC into something that approximates a medical procedure, and I haven’t gone on a research dive in Alcor (or any other cryonics org.) since the ASC won the brain preservation prize.

HTH

https://www.alcor.org/ if you want to hear a rosy picture. They are trying to sell you something, so be wary.

I would be a “neuro”, so only my brain would be preserved. The current best technology for brain preservation would mean revival is either an upload, in which case I won’t need my body, or protein-level unlinking, a technology that likely means a new body can be created as well.

Or at least, that’s my best guess. Certainly the amount of body-wide, but protein-scale damage caused by ASC seems harder to fix than regrowing replacement organs.

Like I said, ASC might be the “best” chance we have, but the chances are very bad you’d survive at all.
