  • In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

    1. Killing members of the group;
    2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
    3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
    4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
    5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    That’s directly from the UNs genocide convention.



  • Cocaine withdrawal isn’t that bad. It’s all mental. You might get anxious or depressed and cocaine will be the only thing you think about for a while, but that’s it.

    Benzo or alcohol withdrawals will actually kill you. Those need to be handled with medical assistance.

    Opioid withdrawal isn’t quite that dangerous, but it certainly will make you want to die.






  • Meh. It was a decent way to make nitroglycerin less unstable, but there are so many better, safer explosives. TNT, for example, is stable enough to be melted down and cast into shells. C4 burns like a candle and won’t detonate without a blasting cap.

    Dynamite tends to “sweat” nitroglycerin over time, and then the slightest amount of heat, friction, or impact can cause it to detonate.


  • TNT has nothing to do with dynamite or Nobel. It was discovered years before dynamite was invented, however it wasn’t used as an explosive at first. And dynamite is just a mostly stable preparation of nitroglycerin. Nobel didn’t discover any new explosive compounds, he literally just mixed stuff with nitro.
