Supersoakers look nothing like real guns and what's 'even more' ironic about a black man inventing it? What's ironic about it at all?

You're right, I got that wrong. She nevertheless, imo, played a pretty big role in paving the way for an attack on Iraq and was rewarded for that with elevation to cabinet afterwards.

Well it's common knowledge that the person he's talking about was a senior member of Bush's cabinet when the war on Iraq in 2003 was launched on a false premise.

Tiobe seem to alter their methodology fairly often which afaik also has the effect of altering historical rankings. In other words if you look at the TIOBE rankings on the wayback machine for a particular year in the past they can differ gr

Won't it amount to the same thing as a heat source anywhere else in a room, with convection and radiation?

I miss the times when every light fitting was the same (one size, bayonet style). I don't know how many different types and sizes of fittng we have. It's a pain replacing bulbs now. I preferred the light from the old incandescent

This has more to do with tribalism than religion imo. Religion is just another way of belonging to a tribe.

I just upvoted you there because I'm nice like that.

I don't know how that would apply to books but I can very much relate to it with newspapers. People read papers that agree with their viewpoints, it's unpleasant reading political opinions that go against one's own. It'

That's an amazing resource. I remember frank delaney from bbc radio years ago, I had no idea he was still around, looks like he's moved to america and reinvented himself. Thanks for the info.

If I try Ulysses again it will probably be an audiobook, I could never make any headway with it in text. I might try getting hold of Dubliners in book form.

Glad you found it amusing. Re: 'The Dead', I got a copy of it as a present last christmas after boring people for years about what a good film it is, though I hadn't seen it in years. AFAIK it was John Huston's last fil

I'd recommend John Huston's film 'The Dead' to anyone who would like experience something by Joyce. I did read a bit of 'A portrait of the artist as a young man'. He really got into the head of a small boy who

Cheers, thanks for the kind words and for being big enough to come back like this. I apologise as well, my attempts at humour fall flat a lot of the time. A little of it goes a long way according to my wife. Best wishes to you.

I know those possibilities exist. I wrote it under the assumption that the syngrog66 has another more longstanding username. I was trying to be funny by teasing him.

I don't know how long hacker news is on the go, multiple decades surprises me. However you only registered 33 days ago, that was the point I was making. If you find that to be 'extreme personal rudeness' then you must get o

Like a lot of things I suppose I would say that it depends. I think that it is OK to question if someone is being really charitable or helpful to you when they suggest that they are being so, in the context of what is otherwise a put-down.

I don't think that even the creationists find natural selection controversial.

Well I wouldn't have 'parroted' it, had known that it as 'tired old discredited creationist propaganda'. Does that answer your question?

You and I appear to ascribe very different meanings to the word 'seem'.

On that basis of that test it sounds like you could not prove that chimps and and gorillas were different species?

I am fairly convinced of its veracity as it is. I would just like to see more and more evidence as time goes by. Physicists (and I'm not one of those either) seem to have a completely different attitude to evolution scientists. Recentl
