That being said, anything that works for someone is invaluable to them. Few consumer industries don't prey on people, unfortunately. It has become the responsibility of the consumer to sift through the weeds in the food store, in the d

Once the West percieves itself to be removed from its existential battle with the East, this clean energy hand waving will be put squarely in the rear view. For better or worse. Though, any continued propaganda on the matter is mostly harml

"High" is a relative measure. "Output" is vague and not an agreed upon ultimate goal. Slave colonies have lots of "output". "Everything becomes more expensive" is vague and unsupported enough to be no

Industry's failure to anticipate political enforcement of electric vehicle adoption? Over-relaince on Russia for energy (to decode the natural gas comment). Both political complaints. Perhaps German industry just predicts their long te

The irony is that speech restrictions are most likely to harm the common people that are advocating for them, over the long term. If they are advocating for them because and while they are vulnerable, then it stands to reason that less vuln

I'd doubt that. Extroverts are more socially oriented.

Look up any of the mountain of studies that connects air particulate, in general, to cancer. If you want to argue variables for air particulate's relationship to lung cancer, then more power to you.

High. I never used to notice. But after paying more attention to air quality in my environment, I now notice when air quality is particularly bad when before I hadn't. Sitting around a campfire feels like at least pack of cigarettes wa

You can measure. Buy an AQI meter. But I recommend buying an air filter with an AQI meter attached, as when you see what the supposedly negligible amount of smoke is actually doing to your air quality you are going to want the former.

Even a small amount of smoke represents a thick concentration of particulate.

Buy an air filter with an AQI meter. Not only will you never use your wood stove again, you may end up cutting down on your pancake Saturdays.

Better evidence is irrelevant to her jury trial if false evidence was included in the form of misrepresented stats. Because that's how trial by jury works. She would get a retrial, at minimum, if a judiciary body were to be convinced t

Your second attempted point is nonsense in a working hospital setting in general, or in a courtroom as far as evidence is concerned. Your bookend points are the definition of particularly weak circumstantial evidence. Also known as statisti

No one forgets. 'We have to remember the jury" isn't a persuasive argument. Juries are no match for statistical misrepresentation. Even beyond stats, juries get it wrong constantly. Courts don't have staff math experts,

The core statement of the abstract is that the author's conclusions are the "clear an unanimous" views of "those studying nervous system evolution". This statement is incorrect on its face. Worse, it would be a bad

The problem with "articles" such as the one under discussion is that information veracity is inherently subjective, assuming no true perfect framing of the information (such as is the case with history), and therefore the truth wi

None of it is "stolen", any more than the mythology of Zeus is stolen from Vedic tales. None of it is re-imagined, but re-articulated. If you are looking for evidence of a cultural crime, you haven't begun to get it with all

Brexit was a top level decision disguised as populism. There won't be a new referendum predicated on polling that few trust, then or now. Continental Europe's future alignment may be to the East. The UK no more wants to be on that

What I mentioned applies to safeguards against de-anonymization in the event of public access. Ie: a published research paper or professional notes left behind on a bus.
