Even this is no longer true - current free tier of Slack (as of a couple of months ago IIRC) is 90 days of retention, which for low-volume groups of users is even worse .

Nope, definitely David Tennant - I hadn't seen him in anything prior to Doctor Who, so was very surprised when later hearing him with a broad Scottish accent in an interview. I've heard him discuss the preference (it's more u

In the UK the direction is inverted - Northern accents tend to be discriminated against, some people opt to try to maintain southern counties or city accents. https://www.theguardian.com/careers/accent-hinder-job-prospe

It's surprisingly difficult to get an estimate on the fruit fly population of California, or even just an average 'per unit area' figure. Anyway, this fungus is already endemic in California, and I believe California has a ma

The pest control I'm talking about 'releasing' is literally already in Carolyn's back yard - Carolyn being the post-doc researcher subject of TFA, based in California, USA. So, yeah, it's really dangerous, but proba

Oh, I missed a word - should have written 'potential hobby / commercial farmers' (or orchardists, fruit growers, etc).

Article is focused on the study of the parasite, but weirdly didn't touch on the potential hobby / commercial use of a fungus that attacks fruit fly. Here in Australia we have two major fruit fly pests - the Mediterranean (introdu

Okay, so you've redefined regular , and are now surprised the person you're responding to doesn't share your unique definition. It sounds like instead of just mistakenly using it as a synonym for frequent, you're mistak

How are bus fatalities related to a misunderstanding about what 'regular' means? (And/or how regular is not a synonym of frequent.)

> No they're not. Yes, they are. But rather than merely gainsay, I'll support that by observing: a) here in Australia we regularly, consistently, have zero school shootings each year. Can recommend. b) you are probably misun

I'd understood at least the first three books - and I tend to follow the consensus around Markan Priority - were penned in Koine rather than classical? I suspect the distinction is of marginal relevance, in the current context.

AIUI, the Book of Matthew was not written by that Matthew, or indeed by anyone whose identity we know, right?

Yeah, sorry - it took me way too long to work out which god you subscribe to.

Sure, the further problem there is the December solstice can occur[0] on any of 20, 21, 22, or 23rd of December, timezone of the observer notwithstanding. Trying to be tricky with fantasy calendars will often catch you up. You mentioned t

You're using the proper noun 'God' again - do you have a specific one in mind, or are you suggesting all gods - some 18,000 or so? - are all proven by the existence of life? I'll gleefully agree that DNA is complex, and

If you could prove the existence of any of the gods, this would be a pretty popular capability with deity advocates the world over - but given no one's come up with such a proof, and you haven't demonstrated one here, I'm inc

There's a theory that the Australian bush fires - absolutely breathtaking during end of 2019, early 2020 - helped extend this cycle: "A multiyear tropical Pacific cooling response to recent Australian wildfires in CESM2" htt

Inevitable, but disappointing of course - I had hoped we'd have something closer to a 5y cycle, as the previous couple of dry cycles were much longer than this most recent wet(ish) one. I'm 150km inland, just north of Sydney AU la

Au contraire. A vendor has produced a device that does what it does, and is marketed at an optimised price point. Someone has looked at it and said 'this device should be a different device' and claimed that it's a trivial ma

As someone who likes to write more words than is strictly necessary ... that was too much. I recall here (Australia) in the 1990's as early-gen analog phones were becoming popular, and consequently so too the theft of same, much public
