Was it suicide or was it murder? Epstein, alive and well, doesn’t really care which side of the false debate you take. Of course there is a deadman’s switch... It wasn’t triggered. This isn’t rocket science.

Perhaps the same reason toasters aren't. It is very likely that one will have two hands on the toaster when one is shocked. You have two choices: ground it, in which case the current races up one arm, through the torso, and down the ot

The average person lacks the attention span to read a page of text. Reading a good portion of a newspaper? Ha. Those days are over, and they are not coming back for a few generations. I don't know what the solution is. As recently as 2

The calendar method fails for the same reason condoms 'fail' and coitus interruptus 'fails'.... People don't actually use the method properly. I agree with you... if you expect a couple of dumbasses to refrain 100%

Of course pills screw up women's brains. But, it's a small price to pay; nearly all other methods make sex slightly less enjoyable for men. A satisfying orgasm without the concern of paying child support is definitely worth women

The Houston Metroplex is nearly 10% the area of the entire country of Italy. The former essentially didn’t exist before automobiles. The latter was laid out for pedestrian travel. So, I don’t get your point... why would you expect to find a

Moreover, if there is something about the color white that affects the flies biting, the expirement boils down to this: "If you cover 1/2 a cow with a substance that flies dislike, the cow receives 1/2 as many bites!"

50% less bites does not imply only 1/2 of flies are biting. It's more likely that each fly bites only 1/2 as much.

Before inquiring whether something can be made accidentally, perhaps one should determine if it can be made intentionally. That is, can organic chemists create functioning RNA from scratch? How about a strand of DNA? (And, by scratch, I mea

Who determines when their employment ends? The employer has the right to fire whomever it wishes. The employee has the right to quit whenever he wishes. Why would one expect an employer to pay compensation or benefits to an employee who doe

yea, yes. Indeed, the more kids the better. 25, 30, or even 35 kids to a single teacher is far better than 1-on-1. It's like homeopathic drugs... sometimes just the barest infinitesimal trace of a medicine is better than than a full do

I've yet to meet a fat person who didn't eat large portions and sugary foods. "It's a glandular problem," you'd often hear a few decades back. Now, there is other mumbo-jumbo. But, at the end of the day, fat pe

Couple hours on a horse one way. I'm sure there were people who made the trip (and back) daily. But, researchers have to find something to research or they're out of a job.

Excellent implementation. I have long been trying to come up with a deterministic model to explore self-assembly. Ideally, a "Conway's Game of Life" for morphogenesis. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

Bingo. Wise societies forbid polygamy as it results in the top 10% of males having women, and the lower 90% being -- to use a modern 4chan-ish word -- INCELS. Of course, one doesn't need to condone polygamy to see this phenomena occur.
