Comment Re:If by "decreeses" you mean "increases", then ye (Score 1) 300

It's a matter of choosing my battles. I don't make it a point to explain myself to people who willfully misunderstand me. I think there's some instagrammed stock photobullshit that probably has those words in front of it in cursive on a tumblr somewhere...

Um... I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you're doing here. If this is the kind of battle you choose, I'm not sure what ones you don't choose.

Comment Don't emergency vehicles use this? (Score 1) 144

Don't emergency vehicles sometimes use this to their advantage to turn an intersection into a 4-way red light so that they can get through? I know I've heard of ambulances and fire trucks having a button that makes all stop lights near them turn red, but I have never tried to verify the truth of the claim.

As a white male, I have zero belief that my opportunities are being limited by these initiatives. I'm not sure what you're afraid of, but I, for one, appreciate the different thought processes and ideas that come from people who *aren't* white males. We are stronger together than we are apart.

Now it doesn't mean it IS a Yeti. It doesn't mean it's even our kind of Yeti.

What d'ya mean? Every Yeti is our kind of Yeti. Perhaps the Higgs Boson just needs to leave giant footprints in the snow.

Without the Higgs Boson, there would be no snow... so doesn't that kind of mean that the snow itself is the "footprint in the snow" of the Higgs Boson?

I have to agree. The comments on these articles is much ado about nothing. This is news for nerds and the nerd response should be followup questions. What did the research show? What does that mean about humans? Did people from different cultures and backgrounds react differently? etc.

The responses we see here are less nerd-like and more political.
