Perfect avoidance of parent's point. Which is that the standard model is so borked, it doesn't even explain what Newton did 500 years ago.

Talking about the implications of mass, while avoiding the grand pooh bah theory...that doesn't understand mass...is spectacular misdirection. You just might be a physicist.

Poorly defined business model leads to bankruptcy. Much like how domain name squatters ended up with very little in most cases. Companies simply made up words (Pinterest, Wikipedia, etc.) -- left off a vowel (Tumblr) -- or strung words together (Facebook, YouTube, Craigslist), and saved themselves a king's ransom.

They also contain gold, arsenic and plenty of other substances,

Nice troll response there. That conveniently ignores the percentages I (wiki) listed for eighteen of the twenty items.

Let's emphasize a few of them, shall we? 53% of the Vitamin A! 38% of the Folate. 160% of the Vitamin C. 48% of the iron one needs in a day.

BTW, when I said "Oops" regarding the 554 mg of K in parsley, the point I was making (that you missed) was that parsley has *more* K than bananas. Ironically trumping that much vaunted K source.

No one eats a kilogram of bananas. Try one, and get 450 mg potassium.

As to that 100 grams of parsley? 554 mg of potassium. Oops.

You can never be secure on minimum wage though

Security is illusory. Just ask those living in a peaceful suburb that suddenly have refugees swarming their streets and raping their women.

Once you accept that security is an illusion, and do the simple things it takes to manage $x.xx, no matter the size of $x.xx, you will be at a low level of stress.

The excess pursuit of money is the root of all illusion.

So you correct your error -- you meant to say 75 million, not 75 billion -- and then you say you don't see the issue. "I was wrong...but I don't see I was wrong." Alrighty then.

Pro tip...don't enter all those zeroes into the Google calculator. Enter 20 and remember it is billions. Then you get a more modest (i.e. reasonable or intuitive) answer, that is harder to get wrong by a factor of a thousand.

Comment Re:For many the reason is politics (Score 3, Informative) 155

The entire crew of Sunday NFL Countdown is now gone. Most left last season, with Chris Berman doing a farewell tour last year. That was pretty much my last reason for watching the channel (after they destroyed SportsCenter by replacing everyone with 20 year old females with _days_ of experience, and none of it in men's sports).

I've played and watched and loved sports for almost 60 years, and watching what ESPN has become is sickening, and disgusting.
