You mean any studies that will never get published because they will be called "deniers"? Every claim of death and cost of global warming is hugely inflated. I have yet to see a study that shows any possible BENEFIT of global warming despite the evidence that the warmest times in Earth's history have been the times that life has been most prolific.

No, the claim is that all the scientists now learned how to do science from doing science fairs in school. They follow the same scientific method they learned there. Make a hypothesis. Form your conclusion. Find, manipulate, or fabricate data to support that conclusion. If you can't fudge the data enough, make a graph with inappropriate scale and units to make your data appear to support the conclusion.

That's what you see in science fairs, and that's all of this bullshit. Science isn't always about looking at data and being "that's funny" sometimes it's about having the scientific integrity to say "there is no clear conclusion that can be drawn from this data" or "we weren't able to isolate the variables enough to see a relationship."

I haven't read the full report, but I'm sure you won't read this rebuttal because it's from the Cato Institute. Their predictions are off, and getting farther off with each year of data.

If there's no actual investment then why do I get a yearly report from the Social Security Administration telling me how much I have in my fund? If you are agreeing that Social Security is a huge money hole where future generations pay for the retirement of the old, then who WOULDN'T opt out? Probably just the old, not the people paying for the old to retire.

You'd want to opt out of Social Security because it's a Ponzi Scheme. Or maybe because you can get better returns on your retirement dollars in a private fund. Or maybe because you'd rather buy gold for your retirement savings.

If you don't pay your mortgage than you are in violation of a contract and the bank goes to the government to bring guys with guns to kick you out as you are trespassing on the bank's property. It's still the government with the guns. Your bank can't have it's own private enforcement kick you out of their house.

As if asahi.com wasn't already borked from the canal story, we link to them again?

Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Or we could ditch ethanol for fuels... Or stop paying farmers to go crops that there isn't demand for.

I unplugged the On-Star module underneath the glove compartment in my G6. Then the cruise control stopped working. Taking it into the dealership, of course their solution is to plug On-Star back in, and then the cruise magically started working again. Tell me that GM isn't going to sabotage the cars of people who choose to disable On-Star... So I got a Ford instead. Not that My Ford Touch is any great technology either.

So instead of linking to the original Jalopnik article, you post a copy on Road and Track?

No, it means problems are often not repeatable and thus are easier to deny claims on. More and more cars are going toward virtual input devices and they have random bugs and errors all the time. Rarely, they release an update, but more likely the dealership can't reproduce the problem and they shrug and send you on your merry way.

Actually animals that are yummy don't go extinct. We domesticate them. It's all the ones that are useless to serve or be eaten by humans that are going extinct.

It was weird for me after the surgery when in the winter I was all like, "what the hell is this shit pelting me in the eyeballs?"

It depends on the specific procedure. I had PRK done and I could actually see the LED target get clearer with each shot of the laser during the actual surgery. But yes, take the valium... It's extremely stressful to be immobilized for such a long period of time and having your eyelids clamped open.

Yeah, like the free games are stupidly hard and you can realistically only complete it if you pay for an upgrade or hints.
