Where's the "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense" tag? Actually useful for once!

The first one had "Nemesis" as its predecessor. Literally having a pulse made it a decent movie.

The first movie in the reboot series was passable. The second was flat-out some of the laziest writing I've ever seen; I'm still raging about the "cold fusion" bomb.

Hopefully this means the writing will improve somewhat. Granted, it's not exactly a tall order but I'll take what I can get.

...for flagging Bennett posts.

A watered down version of the original bill with the name "FREEDOM" in the very title still couldn't pass muster once the WSJ put the words "terrorist" and "ISIS" next to it.

I have literally no idea what the summary even said.

...all the comments about "Bayesianism is better than Frequentism" or "Why didn't the authors use this Frequentist analysis?" start popping up. Not that I'm advocating for one over the other, just arguing that they're both tools that are often used for the same nail without realizing that you need to hold them slightly differently for them to actually work the way they're supposed to.

I hope a carpentry analogy is acceptable in lieu of a car analogy.

I get the distinct impression I'm only going to add fuel to the raging fire by responding...but I'm honestly perplexed by the "gay-bashing" comment. What in my history fits that moniker? I basically comment on science articles or I bash tech companies. That's pretty much it.

We'll get about 10 minutes of halfway-decent discussion and debate before the trolls descend and start upvoting blatantly misogynistic tripe.

So your solution, then, is anarchy? I mean if the human race is going to do its own thing anyway, irrespective of nuances like "laws" and "don't be a dick."

Pretty much. This guy nailed it.

pointer arithmetic, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors

Nanobots!

...over the sound of all its whining.

yes, it was intended to be out of context

my point was that comparing climate science to eugenics is a vast (and incorrect) oversimplification
