If you make a study that finds that plants don't need water to grow your study is wrong. It's like that here, this isn't one of those things that needs extra evidence or debate. > This is anti-intellectualism. And what epi

The article said it uses optical recognition. And in any case GPS is not accurate enough for this. If you drive an access road right near a freeway GPS can not tell which one your are on. GPS also doesn't work in many downtowns because

When your study contradicts reality, your study is wrong. That there are major mental difference between men and women is obvious to anyone who interacts with both. If your study can't find those differences it's your study that&#

I came to post the same thing. You have a stick from 12,000 years ago, and a story from 100 years ago, and they link them because of a similarity "there is fat at the end of the stick". You could get fat on a stick by roasting a s

If you discount the conspiracy theories, the normal reason for these types of deals is the DOJ does not feel confident they would actually win their case. The deal essentially measures how likely each party feels that they can win.
