This sounds interesting. What should I Google to learn more about this?

Then you're responding to the wrong guy. Or you're not the same AC. Because I saw someone say, "Hey I'm not against masks. I have looked for something to back up your assertion but found nothing please help me out." The response was, "I won't waste my time because you're not going to listen." The only evidence for that is in your head, because that post held nothing but willingness to learn. I'm not against wearing masks. I wear one when I know I won't be able to maintain distance. And I encourage others to do so as well. And I have not seen evidence to back up that claim. Assuming you're the same AC, please let me know where I can find such evidence. I have seen evidence that it will noticeably lower the infection rate, but not that it will dramatically.... And there I see that this discussion is doomed because "dramatically" is meaningless, even if there weren't Anonymous Cowards invovled.

This is the least encouraging thing I've read all day. I would now bet money that you have no such evidence, but are only parroting.

Scientists will be directed to study things by those with less competence than they. I see no way around this. But this isn't really a direct response to what you've said, because you specified "zero competence" which is different than what I have just said. Thank you for your response.

I'd like an explanation of how it's unscientific to ask a scientist to study something. I imagine that it's not what you really meant, but an accident of the way the sentence was constructed.

I'm not looking forward to it at all. The whole thing smells like a political party trying to get rid of the guy they don't like. Also, like someone is selecting the target first, then picking the best way to take him down. The fact that I didn't (and still don't) want Trump to be my president doesn't really make me feel that much better about it. But you are right that it isn't a criminal trial, which actually makes me feel a lot better about the Senate's preemptive decision to acquit.

Makes me wonder why he was not impeached for either of those.

Definitely! I try to watch it around New Years every year.

This is the correct answer. I decided I had to have a widescreen laptop when I started working on multiple tasks at the same time.

Hilarious that this statement is made after a story regarding marriage.

According to the LA Times, you are incorrect about money raised for/against. http://www.latimes.com/local/l...

Another quick comment on Argument 3: In my 5th grade classroom, I use Macs, Windows (XP, 7, 8), and Linux (all Ubuntu, with different window managers). The kids learn remarkably quickly how to flit from OS to OS, what they can and can't do in each of them, and so on. It has been fun.

Dihipster, you mean.

If you start a Stupid Crap website, I'll visit it. Every time a friend or acquaintance asks me what they think about the phone they're thinking of buying, I'll direct them there. Every time someone comes to me and says, "Look at my sweet new Statosphere 3!" I'll say, "I don't know, man. I was looking at StupidPhoneBugCrap.com and how do you like your calendar?" and then I will encourage them to take the phone back. That's the free market at work. Now if I can beat you to the punch and create such a website, I'll make the money and you won't. Thanks for the idea, dummy!

I thought the story was going to be about slashdot comments.
