It's not just the temperatures to be worried about. Our species has distributed itself around the globe and built infrastructure dependent on the climate effecting certain predictable weather patterns. Those patterns have ostensibly be

Congrats, you found a single counterexample, namely the founding father that was by all accounts the worst human being of the bunch, what with the likely raping and impregnation of his slaves and all. I'm all for replacing TJ statues w

Well, how much time do you have? To start, all arguments about price are nonsense. Cities offer broadband because it's cheaper per household. This has been repeatedly demonstrated. Right-wingers are threatened by this fact because it&#

Well done. Not one of those is even a little bit reasonable, but I could totally imagine your standard Repub attempting to argue those points.

When it comes to schools, anyone can claim a "religious exemption" to those rules (as if public health is a religious matter...). There's no verification or proof involved in claiming that exemption. It's a major loophol

Well, no. Many of those (Confederate "heroes") were more principally known for treason, sedition, and waging war in defense of slave ownership rather than their personal predilection toward owning slaves.

Have you ever heard anyone give an honest, principled reason for voting for Trump? People who do stupid things usually don't understand why they're doing them.

Really unfortunate there's no equivalent of an "expression of concern" with this article as there would be if it was published in a journal.

Know what else we don't know the 2-3 year effects of? Fucking Covid-19. Unlike the vaccine, that one actually has a decent chance of killing you.

Did the Democrats make it illegal for your city to offer it, though? I think not.

You don't think it's fair to consider the Ohio GOP representatives who unanimously voted for this a "team"? Tell me how considering them as individuals is even remotely illuminating.

Unfortunately you misunderstand not just the indicators of a healthy economy (hint: look at cost of living and changes in wealth distribution and not just employment figures) but also the reasons for why such indicators change over time. On

In the end, it doesn't really matter who inserted the language. All of the Republicans in the legislature are voting for it, so pick any one of them (without loss of generality) to serve as an example. The way the accountability aspect

Please don't. Most of the Python/R/C code I've seen from scientists was terrible. 100% of the Perl code was, though.

Do you honestly think that "salted meat" would be listed on a death certificate? Here's a source for you: https://www.nature.com/articles/jhh2008144

People used to die when they were 35 because they were getting stomach cancer from a lifetime of eating salted meat. The invention of refrigeration was one of the most important public health accomplishments of the last 150 years.

Stop using crappy Microsoft products. It's not Apple's fault that MS is terrible at UX.

Apparently now it's a "burden" to do the ethical thing because one state requires it even though you should be doing it anyway.

If there was an RH version of these criteria, this proof would fail several of them: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=458 While it's highly unlikely to ever be proven by someone outside of the traditional aca

Ok, I'll bite. Let's see a citation for your absurd claims.

I wouldn't use either. People tend to overuse adverbs, in my opinion, perhaps thinking that by adding them it strengthens the statement in some way. To me, though, it just sounds weak and forced.

What are you, some sort of beef industry lobbyist? This is a widely accepted fact among the medical community and supported by reams of evidence. Metabolism has almost nothing to do with this. The link between environmental exposure (red me

That nutritional profile also includes increased risk of GI tract cancers among other serious conditions, so I'm not sure what the argument you're trying to make is.

Who's using it to compare individuals? The entire discussion revolves around populations and institutions.

Thanks for proving my point. I assume at this point that people who still don't understand the concept of privilege are being deliberately obtuse, so I'm not going to bother with you. The information is out there. You can choose t
