What evidence do we have that these balloons are of terrestrial origin, other than Occam’s razor? It could be Venusians, who have experience building lighter than aircraft for their floating cities. Other than how wildly improbable it is, t

This is from America, where national laws like copyright are very hard to change, due to lobbyists and both political parties thinking the other one literally works for the Devil. Your point about people deciding their own laws is great but

The problem doesn’t stop at the university either. US federal student loans have higher interest rates and fewer forgiveness options than for undergraduates.

Certainly a garbage administration. This is a huge signal to prospective graduate students not to apply to Temple University, a clear signal that they care more about money than your education. Grad students being at the bottom of the admin

> and I’d rather douse myself in napalm and run into a bonfire than buy cryptocoins. A good environmentalist choice! Napalm and flesh produce far less carbon dioxide than a transaction to buy cryptocoins.

It’s kinda hilariously obvious. Compounds have different properties than their elements. Fluoride ion are safe enough to use in toothpaste, and protect teeth in fact. CFCs replaced ammonia as a refrigerant, because it is much much safer and

Big Science pays geologists to be round earthers, so what do you expect? Follow the money and then you’ll see. In fact, round earth theory is holding science back. The Earth only appears to be curved because spacetime under the flat plane i

I think as a whole the mystery genre doesn’t use this model. So, say, Glass Onion right now. There’s a different but similar model for the whodunnit. There are other movies that play with the model, like The Big Lebowski, in that it skips a

If you think fluorine is toxic in any compound, let me tell you about dihydrogen monoxide. It’s found in over 90% of human tumor cells, and of course serves as a solvent to bring ionized fluorine into the body.
