Sounds like she would know what to do with a horse in a hospital.
What an absolute hatchet job. Ask lawyers who have a vested interest in finding someone with deep pockets at fault so they can collect on contingency. None of you apparently wishes to hear it, but the cause of both…
You are a beacon of truth in the wilderness of stupidity and selfishness that is unfettered capitalism. We need draconian laws to limit this behaviour now, before we have no more air to breathe and no more water to…
The carefully constructed headline qualifies as clickbait. TL;dr Gravitationally locked planet around red dwarf has no atmosphere, we think, because of the absence of convective heat transfer across the terminator. No…
This week I added two iPads to the massive pile that have come into our donation program locked and useless. But, miracle, I was able to find an email address for the donor. It took me two goddam days of emailing…
We sleepwalk through our foolish lives. Our stupidity allows awful people to seize and hold on to wealth and power. Anyone with a brain would see that allowing something like the royal family to exist is a propagation…
Or we could address the problem directly by having fewer children. Reducing and then controlling our numbers at a sustainable level, like every other organism on the planet. But, nooo, let's eat less meat and have a…
One hypothesis is that iPhones are "too premium". My hypothesis is that you can't do anything you really want to do with them, like: - run a VOIP app (tried endlessly; notifications don't work) - run a background…
Tried it with Aklavik, Jakarta, Caracas and also Mumbai, Portland, Havana. Both said "no results"
IIRC, the guy who gave him a ride to the start of the trail tried to give him a map that would have showed the cable not far from where he tried to ford on his way back, but was prevented by high water. McCandless had…
From the review and the preface, this does not look promising. The author makes the typical mistake of conflating business success with intellectual authority, of assuming that knowledge in one field confers…
If you look down the list of deliveries included in the article, you will see that at least one of the other doctors has an unusually low rate of weekend deliveries, but that they peak significantly on Thursday and…
Research supported by the NSF and your tax dollars. Taxpayers wallets double-dipped by the AAAS. Summary written by an idiot for 6-year-olds. And somehow, everyone thinks this is just fine. The lead author (of the…
I applaud your motivation, and I agree with your suggestion, but that's not where most cancer comes from. Most cancer arises out of a random failure of the mechanisms underlying apoptosis. Random mutation rates are…
The difference is that we have sound scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of vaccines. We can give one group of people a vaccine, and another a placebo, in the course of a randomized, controlled, prospective,…
The real issue here goes far beyond freedom of speech; the real issue is about the nature of knowledge. Human nutrition is not a science for the simple reason that it is not possible to subject it to the scientific…
I'll be honest--this makes me really angry. The link goes to a very poor article that links to another poorly-written article at sciencenordic.com, which ultimately links to Elsevier where they want to sell you the…
"This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health", meaning that we paid for it with our tax dollars, but they still want to charge us $35 to read it. Fuck everything about that to flaming hell. If the…
Sonofabitch! I'm sitting on about 3000kg of clothes from the last four months of our clothing donation program in one small apartment building. Fashion? Are you people insane? Wear clothes for decorum, not decor, and to…
You have it backwards. You stipulate that you are interested in profit and then you try to find a profitable idea. Instead, you should find a problem and try to solve it. Then assess whether it is profitable to do so.…
Moronic clickbait garbage. Here's why we are not living in a simulation. It's really simple. (1) Chaotic systems cannot be modeled with complete fidelity. This is a fundamental principle of complex dynamics. (2) Our…
Jony was great when he had Steve around to say "no". It's been all downhill since then. Getting rid of skeuomorphism was fine for Silicon Valley nerds, but horrible for everyone else. Trying to teach your 80-year-old…
While I'm a huge fan of social justice, I have to admit that poor people make some truly awful choices that partly account for their differing life expectancy. The number of young people smoking in poor neighborhoods is…
In a word: Apple. They keep releasing updates to IOS that don't work and that break existing functionality without fixing old bugs. This means continuous work to update apps without any benefit. They restrict access to…
Last Week Tonight is now far less sensational than the mainstream news. When everything is clickbait crap, infotainment becomes the trusted news source.
