What about fist control? You can beat someone to death with your fists. Maybe they should require everyone to have their hands removed, or to be surgically altered so they can't curl their fingers into a fist.
As a kickboxer, I think I might support this
There's a story in Washington State that all of the river names here, Snohomish, Skykomish, Skokomish, have the postfix "ish". Which is an Indian term meaning "This is a flood plain, idiot. Don't build your house here."
But by "Indian", do you mean Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu?
He means "American". If you ask North American native peoples what term they use, it is "Indian", so please lose the uninformed pedantry...
We are just going to have to recreate another big bang and then see what happens and therefore settle this debate once and for all.
Sadly, if they were climatologists, this is exactly what would be demanded of them in some quarters...
Of course no one but a church could possibly hope to run charities, food shelves, hospitals and orphanages.
Of course not. There are plenty of charities that do this that are not churches. Even the government (in theory) does some of this work too.
Unfortunately, they do not do enough of it - especially in this political climate of "makers and moochers" - so despite what you may hear about a few "wealth theology" abominations, most churches (and synagogues, and temples and mosques etc.) actually do a lot of work to patch up the truly evil state of the US "safety net". Just near me, local churches provide homeless shelters, food banks, cheap to free meeting space for support groups and if all else fails, a steady stream of volunteers for simply doing such work. BTW, I live in fairly large, affluent and nominally "liberal" city and these problems are still widespread.
And this is why churches have traditionally been given tax-exempt status - along with other organizations that do such work. Not because they are churches but because of the work they do.
The vast majority of us in worship communities would welcome help of any kind. For my part, I don't care if you are an atheist or an animist: If you want to do the work of the Kingdom, then I say that what we have in common is far more important than a few ontological squabbles.
Yeah, because politicians have real long term goals, you know with having to get elected ever 2-6 years. They really plan for the future. rofl
I'll take two years and democratic control over 3 months and no leverage any day.
Why is it that "heretics" need to indulge in easily debunked ad hominem attacks like this:
It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models.
Here are some people wearing winter clothes and measuring what is really happening outside. Perhaps Professor Dyson should get out of his "air-conditioned" Princeton office and do some climatology field work.
Give me the publicantions (sic) and research where Pro-AGW factions engaged in scientific fraud.
Well, this comes to mind. Why cover up the data? Maybe he was cleared of all wrong-doing, but this was one of the first hits when I searched for "Global Warming Fraud".
You typed something into Google and got hits. Wow, now that is deep research! Did you notice that at the top of your link was this?
Removing data points that did not fit their model, apply transformations to the data points that are not uniform across the entire dataset, using a filter that generates the same output even if the input was noise. Need I go on?
Yes, because you are repeating hearsay. The GP requested citations. You have provided nothing.
According to TFA, the work was based on extensive analysis of Moa genetic material obtained from bones. The evidence was that the Moa was in fact thriving (becoming more genetically diverse) until humans came along and ate everything Moa-related. Eggs, adults, you name it. This makes me wonder if the Moa might be a better candidate for cloning and reintroduction than something like a Mammoth. Use an Ostrich as the donor and then let them loose on the South Island. NZ is pretty eco-aware these days so it seems like they would do just fine.
Even disregarding the profound changes that a distributed, decentralised and free wealth transfer system can afford us, let's talk money.
I have made upwards 40,000$ from being an early adopter, from an investment of ~80$. Naive me.
Note how you express your wealth in dollars...
It's a western thing. Westerners think they are just not good at some things, and never will be. In the far east it is accepted that anyone can learn pretty much anything if they put in enough effort. Therefore saying "I'm not good at maths" in Japan or South Korea is actually saying "I'm too lazy to master this".
Of course they also have a lot of kids killing themselves due to the pressure, and some people do have genuine learning difficulties that they can't do anything about.
As someone who has studied a martial art for about 30 years, despite having little talent for it, I have to say that I love this Oriental attitude. Most MA classes are built around the idea that everyone can learn the basics of this stuff if they just practice regularly, and damn if it isn't true! Probably added 10-20 years to my life (or at least improved its quality.)
In the second link in the summary Phil Plait goes so far as to translate the crater size into football fields, but perhaps we shouldn't fault him as that standard unit is neither "English" nor "archaic".
When was the last time you were in Florida?
And I guess you have a clear and viable plan on what to to with the waste?
Reprocess it into more fuel, like France does?
The real reason you don't remember as many new things as you get older, is that you realize just how useless most of the stuff you already remember is.
This!
As an engineering graduate of 1986, I joined a group of classmates a couple of years ago on a visit to the Dean, who asked us what we would change, looking back, in the curriculum. There were two answers common to all of us: project management and English writing.
Good points. However, there's the flip side. One class I was required to take by my department for my CS degree was biology. All CS students had to take it. I argued bitterly against it at the time, and would happily do so again today 25 years later. It was a complete and utter waste of college credit hours.
I enjoyed my 1983 bio class, but I made sure I took it with a friend so we could defend our lab work against rampaging pre-meds...
