While you can *force* a spreadsheet to work like that, it's not the default, and the default makes it so very much easier to fuck up.

Yes, isn't believing in the truth of something that has been rigorously proved part of scientific literacy?
What would happen if the ones that don't believe humans evolved were forced to deal with some of the unequivocal data that backs it up, like genetics, would they still deny it and cause practical problems?
Further it raises the question as to who is trying to change the test, and why
You don't understand, a lot of the people who are pro-executions don't want a painless peaceful death; not even when the statistics show that about 1 in 20 people are innocent.

Um... Opel RAK-1, and have you heard of the X-1? X-15?
Rocket planes are a thing:
I think that there is a question as to whether the three witnesses are reliable or not.
I'm also pretty damn sure that Native Americans are not descended from Egyptians, and that the genetic information that shows they're not is widely available, and does stack up.
If that was not the case, there would be some super-duper famous scientists right now that had managed to prove a key tenant of Mormonism; either Science or Nature would publish that like a shot. They LOVE overturning apple carts: if you have the hard evidence.
In the real world... that hasn't happened, because they're not descended from there, all the evidence shows that Native Americans came from Asia, migrating across the Bering Strait. It's just 50 miles across the ocean there, it's many thousands of miles the other ways.
Let me give you the view of a non Mormon:
Mormonism is bonkers!
You're talking about a religion created by a convicted con man that involves him 'reading' invisible gold tablets that nobody else could see from within a hat, and mistranslating an Egyptian funerary parchment aka 'The Book of Abraham' that doesn't say what he said it says; and we know that because it was tracked down and translated for real.
No, it's a serious problem, particularly in Paris because 60% of the cars there run on diesel.

Although diesel is much more efficient, it creates serious local pollution, smog and minute particles that cause real harm.
No, wind and hydro are very good matches.
When the wind blows, the hydro holds back its water; it saves the energy for later (at a storage efficiency of about 99%). When the wind drops it lets the water through faster to make up for the lack of wind.
So the combined system has more average power; the wind is able to enhance the hydro generation and the hydro smooths out the wind.
That's a nice, clear explanation of how wind power means you use more fuel.
Unfortunately it's absolute, total bollocks.
The reason it's bollocks is because wind is used for about 20% or so of the total production, whereas the combustion turbines are only used as an emergency back-up.
In nearly every case, when the wind drops (which they have several days advance warning for) all that happens is that the other sources (the more efficient sources) increase their output.
Only if you have major failures elsewhere do the combustion turbines kick in.
No, in practice armed people don't actually have to be polite to unarmed people at all; because armed people don't have to worry about being shot by them. I mean, they may be, but they don't have to be.
So far from taking away the ability to be rude fucks; it's arming the rude fucks, they will tend to want to be armed more than polite people; they're the ones that are more likely to need a gun, because they're the ones that tend to kick up problems.

Ron Paul is wrong about economic matters. There was a head-to-head between him and Paul Krugman; it's so very rare to have a politician have his ass handed to him quite so hard.
That's co-codamol, the combination apparently works better as a painkiller than codeine on its own.
I don't think it's just them cutting the codeine.
Yes, one farmer deliberately selected only Monsanto seed that blew onto his land and grew exclusively that, but that's the only time anyone ever got sued. If Monsanto ever sued someone for true accidental contamination it would be cutting their own throat.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
