If you try rolling it off (basically the same procedure as putting it on, only reverse), you risk snagging a pube or two. And that shit hurts. If you try to just pull it off, you may experience some surprising and unpleasant snap-back.\n* Don't flush the used condom down the toilet. Seriously. If you want to be discrete, roll it into some toilet paper and bury it under something in the trash.\n\nAlso, just for good measure: you'll have to piss after you're done, just do it.

It wasn't really the super-soldiers, it was the survivalist. Remember, this story was written in the mid 80s when there were all these crazy survivalist groups forming preparing for Red Dawn or the government kicking in their door. The whole point of the story is that America would have recovered, but these crazy survivalist prevented that by keeping everyone divided and preying on everyone else.

In 2008, more than 700 birds were brought to the zoo to be nursed back to health. The penguins were exhausted, a few barely able to lift their heads. Scientists believe that climate variations altered ocean currents and where penguins could find food, requiring them to travel farther from shore. There, younger and inexperienced birds were taken by strong currents and ended up in Brazil, thousands of miles away from their home. In addition to being exhausted, about 200 penguins were coated with oil and seemed to be suffering from pollution-related illness. The Aquarium is providing a home to a few of these penguins. \n \nSo you could ask that Zoo about feeding.

Two eggs are laid in the burrow and often both chicks are raised. The eggs take 39 to 42 days to hatch. The chicks stay in the burrow for about 5 weeks. The male and female share the duty lasting 10 to 15 days each. Once the chicks are hatched they are fed and guarded for 29 days. At this time the chick molts. They go to sea and hunt for food on their own when they are 60 to 70 days old \n \nWhich kind of paints a picture. It looks like this guy has gone off on his own and ended up 4000miles too far north.

But rather that the particles' momentums are measured in order to identify which slit the particle most probably came through. This then, as we now know which \nslit the quantum particle came through, eliminates the wave structure which forms. If we do not make these measurements, we therefore do not know which slit the particles come from, and cannot map them accordingly, creating the wave structure.\n\nSo if an omnipresent, omniscient being were to exist, this being surely would not affect the observer effect for the following reason:\n\nI doubt an omniscient being would require sensors to know something, let alone attempt to descover something (remember that measurement does not imply success, and therefore means a chance of failure, i.e. unreliable results and recordings).

You're positing magic. The Observer Effect says that observers are made out of particles. Apply the basic laws of QM and configuration amplitude with \"observers are made out of particles\" and there's nothing more to explain.\n\nThe double slit experiment's \"Observer Effect\" is basically nothing more than \"sensor left + photon here\" is different than \"sensor right + photon here\", so the configuration amplitude gets turned into photon observation frequency *before* the two slits' amplitude gets added, together.\n\nAll this rules out is a naturalistic sort of 'godstuff' that observes everything through natural processes.
