   Thanks for looking that up. Experience tells me (s)he isn't really interested in your sources though. His/her opinion is already formed. I can tell by the tone and use of selective excerpts. (S)he'll just quote different so

   It's more complex than that. There is only one racial side here... there is no other side that believes black lives DON'T matter. Opinions are complex... Philando Castille certainly did not deserve death, although to say his murd

   So would Mr. Xu have received the same negative public feedback if he had avoided the ground and pound, and won without perceived brutality? I'm having difficulty seeing how this fight could have happened without either some form of KO

   Traditional martial arts can be quite effective if practiced in an effective manner. I've been to traditional schools where the pinnacle of training involved fighting each other bare knuckle. As amusing as it would be to see a tai chi

   You meet Royce? Cool! Sorry to hear he's an asshole. I admit there's some vestigial hero worship when I hear his name. Not surprised at all to learn he's got a God complex though. I would have loved to see him matched up a

   I remember how ubiquitous it was in Michigan as well. I grow it here in central Wisconsin, but it doesn't seem part of the cultural landscape as in Michigan. It also makes tremendous wine, especially when blended with Grigio.

    Most STEM people are honest? No. Having worked decades as an engineer, sometimes over scientists, I can tell you that STEM people are just as susceptible to human frailty and peer pressure as any other group. Some of them dont need help t

    Actually, 90 percent of medical studies are pretty much horseshit. Source http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jou... Or ask a good cardiologist after a few drinks. The closer you get to the so

    The contention depends on the sphere. Whilst the laypeople battle out A and B, there are other issues... C. What is the climates degree of sensitivity to CO2? How MUCH impact? Any PhD who tells you they know this is a kook or charlatan.

    Ok. Two screaming kids... while i don't have time to find the direct sources of scientific comment, they should be referenced in the following article about Hansen's 2015 paper. https://judithcurry.com/2015/07

    James Hansen is the Doctor Oz of climate change. Dude will release study after study before they hit peer review. He's a god damn charlatan. https://theconversation.com/study-predicts-multi-meter-sea-l...

    I made no claim that I wish you accepted at face value. So as far as i understand, you must be referring to bills claim. Otherwise, to which claim are you referring? Assuming it is bills claim to ehich you refer, if you don't understan

    So... you did understand what he said, and are assuming he's hostile? This seems to contradict that you were asking honest feedback.

    He may have inferred from your tone a common algorithm: 1. Ask to clarify meaning when the meaning requires only superficial analysis. 2. Ask for sources. 3. Dispute illegitimate sources, while clarifying which sources are acceptable, w

    I supervise "hard" scientists for a living... or did, up until a couple of years ago. You'd be surprised what a few try to pull, without the aid of a vast conspiracy. But there is one to silence climate moderates. The eviden

    What argument? You asked me what the likelihood would need to be. You mean the seat belt argument? The cost to society of reducing co2 emissions exceeds the cost of a seatbelt by a factor of several billion.. even trillion. A nearby star

    I'm not sure how you know that, given that none but the most doctor ozish of climate scientists (Hansen and ilk) will claim the doomsday scenarios are likely. Even then, other climate scientists will quickly repudiate such claims. As t

    Research institutions did a pretty poor job of telling us cholesterol consumption causes atherosclerosis. Largely because we discounted minority scientific opinion.
