It sounds a little defeated, but hasn't nuclear war been inevitable since the invention of the nuclear weapon? if no, why not? It's strange how distant the idea of nuclear war seems to my mind when I try to imagine the perspective

Which is why the inhumane treatment of prisoners by people like former Sheriff Joe Arpaio in AZ was not only tolerated but often condoned by the public. It's why he was re-elected, for being perceived as tough on crime. While they migh

It seems like a conflict of interest, IMO. This is very much a political topic. When you take into context where the funding came from, the "research" presented in this abysmal paper looks a lot more like a wolf in sheep's cl

This kind of stuff is par for the course with Nintendo hardware from what I can tell. Is it deliberate? If so, does perceived scarcity drive more sales, or are they just sick of warehousing unsold products?

Are you saying comparing apples and oranges is the only way to effectively make your point? Dogs and livestock are quite different. We keep them around for entirely different reasons.

I can't remember the last time I bought a physical album. I think it was about 10 years ago, when Metallica's Death Magnetic came out. Everyone I know uses a streaming service to get music. No one I know buys or owns physical CD&#

you can be a liberal without being a bleeding-heart. but you can't vote liberal without voting in bleeding-hearts. it's the same for conservatives. sooner or later you're going to have to vote for an absolute anti-science&#

wouldn't an unmanned submersible make more sense? why bother being above the water if there are no crew on board to breathe air, anyway? it seems like a submersible would be ideal for certain military applications, patrolling, or whate

It would be, frankly, ridiculous for them to offer "open access" and have that actually include only news coverage and none of the opinion sections.

A couple I know who avoid GMO products have a few things in common with others I've seen saying the same things: Ignorance of what a GMO really is, a deep distrust of corporate interests/government regulators and a strange, unearn

let's take this a step further: two republicans, one falsely registered as a democrat, have been paired off at the polling station in Araphaoe County. the lie was bought, the fraud complete. now what?

that's a risk you have to take, at some point. you eventually have to trust that someone isn't lying, somewhere along the chain. what else could be done to further vet volunteers? you can't interrogate people or drug them wit

We all know arguing against a strongly held opinion usually results in the person with the strong opinion digging their heels in even deeper. At that point, things like reason kind of go by the wayside and don't have much effect. As a

I wonder what kind of lifespan they were expecting out of this thing back when it was launched. I'd think you'd want a decent return in terms of longevity, considering the size and (I would assume) weight of it. I'd bet moder
