Comment Fuck "acivists" everywhere (Score 0, Troll) 77

The more activists pretend to be offended on behalf of other people over shit like this and, as here, *get away with it*, the more likely Trump and co will remain in power forever.

Don't let them get away with it in your workplace - change Main back to Master, call out the DEI hires, point and laugh at beardy men in the women's washroom.
Make society sane again.

Comment Re:One non-inconsistent observation != PROOF (Score -1, Flamebait) 38

New Scientist used to write good, accurate stories about hard science.

Then a female editor took over and at once stage the top was all women. Because manhate.

Under her rule it reported mostly fluffy soft science stories and inaccurately reported science. As here.

Inconvenient facts, and nothing to do with who wrote this story, you hateful fucking misandrist cunt.

Comment One non-inconsistent observation != PROOF (Score -1, Troll) 38

1. This is one observation that shows two merged black holes have an event horizon with an area not smaller that of the sum of the event horizons of the merging black holes.
How is that a PROOF of a theorem stating that "when two black holes merge, the resulting black hole's event horizon -- the boundary beyond which not even light can escape the clutches of a black hole -- *cannot* have an area smaller than the sum of the two original black holes" ?!

It shows that in this case it is not smaller than the sum, it DOES NOT PROVE that it cannot be smaller.

2. Is this theorem really "Stephen Hawking's Black Hole Theorem" ? Did he have no other black hole theorems?

New Scientist used to be good. Then the girls took over.

FFS. Really ? I am not sure if you are pretending to be this stupid or are actually this stupid.

People who buy overpriced, thin, fragile phablets cannot store them in convenient pockets because they will break.
People who buy thick, small, solid phones can. And do. Because that is convenient.
You stupid cunt.
This is an rational response, not an emotional one.

"the presence of vivianite and iron sulfide, both of which can be produced chemically, sounds like a really weak indicator to me."

TFA:
"there are ways to produce them without biological reactions, including sustained high temperatures, acidic conditions, and binding by organic compounds. However, the rocks at Bright Angel do not show evidence that they experienced high temperatures or acidic conditions, and it is unknown whether the organic compounds present would’ve been capable of catalyzing the reaction at low temperatures."

My phone doesn't break.
Because it is a quality, thick, small, solid phone.
Because it is not an overpriced, wafer-thin, shiny Apple phablet.
I can handily put my phone in my back jeans pocket and not worry about breaking it.
I do not have to look stupid with it in a front pocket or have to carry an equally fucking stupid man bag
Because I am not a stupid sheep.

I want my phone to handle non-delicate treatment, such as not breaking when I keep it in my back jeans pocket and sit down.

It says a lot that there are so many idiot sheep like you who have been brainwashed into thinking that that is an unreasonable requirement of a device costing hundreds of dollars.
