They're weirdly sticky clouds.
I posted a comment earlier about how 1982-1983 (the start of the data) had a historically severe El Nino, and the comment got shadowbanned. I don't understand why that happens sometimes. Hasn't happened for months, but…

Who asked what you prefer? That has nothing to do with reading more books. Personally I have pages from books projected onto the walls, so that if I ever accidentally look up from the book that I'm reading, I read part…
We didn't get to the point of being disrespectful yet, except perhaps to slave owners, so this intervention seems a little early. Decorum doesn't add much meaning (it means don't swear, for instance?), and I get the…
You reckon swearing is what makes the difference?
Something about arbitrary moralizing? Robert Louis Stevenson had some sort of lung disease in childhood and his very Calvinist nurse told him lots of stories while he was sick in bed. Then later his own short stories…
> The synthesized clips line up with what each region is known to care about, faces for FFA, places for PPA, bodies for EBA, motion for MT, patterns for V1 / V3A, and lively social scenes for pSTS / aSTS (STS seems to…
Isn't fMRI resolution similar in size to 1 ant?
Rural cities? Come again? What was demolished remained demolished, yes. Unclear on your point.
Meanwhile in Britain in the 1960s, this cost-cutting closure of local rail lines did happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeching_cuts ... at a time when the trains and rail infrastructure had been publicly owned for…
Could be an armchair, could be a toilet, either seems a reasonable standard for a commenter on a messageboard, are we expecting a focus group or something?
I don't get the argument either. Perhaps if you can't walk very far? If I put half an hour into walking I can easily buy all the essentials, such as a crash cymbal, oil of violets, steel nibs for my dip pen, a CD…
If you're going to apply the golden rule to amoral objects such as flies, it should also apply to, for instance, bubblegum. You should refrain from chewing bubblegum and blowing bubbles and popping them, because then…
What? I'm not doing those things, I'm making an epistemological point that I think is important, though it's an old one I picked up from reading Gödel, Escher, Bach in the 80s, but I do quite sincerely think that…
I agree and I think games are ruined by dialog and quests. I like procedurally generated worlds, not stories, but I want the worldgen algorithm to be written by a human, crudely and with idiosyncrasies. I do not want to…
There is apparently such a thing as "Computational Botany", where you model virtual plants.
Who wants moss!? Is it luxury moss?
Yeah, they were called barbarians because they talked funny. Bar bar barbar bar, they went.
Oh, so we don't really know how it works. Fun.
The low pressure is up there already, for free. Or the high pressure is down here, whichever way you want to look at it.
Same principle as chimneys. But I also noticed this line: > leaves which have adapted to withstand greater water stress before wilting. That must be one of the "adjustments to water transport" mentioned. So I suggest…
Oh right. Basically China has its own tectonic plate, with Baikal on the rift, top left: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amur_plate I did not know that.
What on earth do you mean? That's a basic form of argument, where you demonstrate that the logic of a proposition leads somewhere ridiculous, or leads to a contradiction. It reminds me of somebody I knew who thought…
Mathematics doesn't tell you what is necessarily true. It consists of guessing about what is necessarily true.
