Yes, that is the problem with news reporters. They have no specialized body of knowledge, so they don't understand that the statement is obviously ridiculous. It confuses exclusion zones in Eckernförde Bay with the…
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…
Soon they will discover contrast so that we can actually see the components.
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…
Children are only expensive because we have a consumer mentality that we feel compelled to pass on to them. Try cloth diapers. Make your own baby food (look it up). Avoid buying all that plastic, processed, unnecessary…
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…
LinkedIn is a perfect demonstration of the banality of evil. No one gets upset or angry, no one curses or screams in all caps. Everyone just goes quietly about their business of destroying the planet while thinking up…
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"
A man said it. We all believed it. We asked for no corroboration; we obtained no evidence. And that's where we stopped. This is the monstrous injustice of our civilization. We organize the enslavement of over half the…
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…
As expected. When you first outsource your manufacturing base because every decision that generates a few more cents in profit becomes obligatory, and then you conduct an idiotic trade war that cannot possibly restore…
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…
