Dear gawds have we gone down the drainer for something like that to be even imagined as a serious answer. Medics protecting humanity by keeping the secret that everything is a placebo? ffs... It's far fetched even for SyFy.
Unless researchers are in on the conspiracy. They all know there's no such thing as "medicine", only placebos. But they have to protect humanity from such knowledge.
"What they have looked at is systematic trials for named conditions when that is not how creationism works," he'd say. "Creationism worked on the principle of improving a person's overall health and wellness, and research such as a seven-year study conducted in Switzerland was a better measure of its usefulness," he'd add.
Unless "conventional medicine" is also a placebo, there is no real medicine and all these shenanigans about homeopathy are just to strengthen the paradigm.
But don't think too much about it, or you'll lose your only defense against the plague.
In my perfect world, everybody would care and I'd have seen this in the morning news, instead of... I won't even describe the morning news composition, it's too depressing.
Option A : Mobile providers make less money next year.
Option B : Mobile providers raise the standard charges the exact necessary amount to avoid having losses due to this law.
Option C : Mobile providers raise the standard charges more than necessary and justify the raise saying ordinary people need to pay for the yuppies who roam Europe in their sports cars while chatting on their phones.
biting flies have an aversion to landing on striped surfaces.
Biting flies can't evolve?
I found the whole thing very unconvincing.
If it's proven that biting flies have aversion to landing on striped surfaces, it makes no sense to say it can't be true because flies would evolve. One should rather ask "Why didn't flies evolve past this limitation?"
One could start with various hypotheses like: - It's a behavior that protects them from something. Maybe the advantage of biting zebras has a lesser weight than the disadvantage of losing that protection. - It's a behavior that's consequence of something they can't evolve past without not being flies anymore. Maybe their eyes are not able to know the distance of a striped surface with the required precision, for whatever physical reasons, and better eyes would be too expensive.
Suit pants don't have the right shape if you stuff things like a phone in the pockets. The interior of the suit jacket is already occupied by the wallet.
I would like to have a way to carry my phone when I'm wearing a suit, better than attached to the belt. A "watch" might be the solution but the existing solutions are not good enough to replace a smartphone.
1 - Replace the battery with an electrolytic generator. 2 - Store part of the hydrogen on the top. 3 - Replace the electric cable with a tube that pumps water up and hydrogen down.
This idea is very old, so I suppose there was a technical hurdle to overcome. What is the new development that makes this now possible? The product used is cold saline, so it can't be that.

I don't see how parents have anything to do with this.
Google made a system by which a child, under no supervision whatsoever, can spend their parent's money by simply asking them to introduce the password in a way that they'll be able to respond without paying any attention.
How can you construe that situation as having anything to do with the kid's parents is beyond my comprehension.
So they printed fake money, convinced people it was real, got the people's money, said they lost it, but actually were stealing it, and now they are saying they don't have money while moving money to private accounts?

Actually no, as you'd know if you had studied the subject, the law does not apply to the police.
As a mnemonic rule, imagine they were oddly dressed politicians, or very humble rich people.
I...
Seriously?

Replace homeopathy with creationism.
One wonders what the response would be then.
"What they have looked at is systematic trials for named conditions when that is not how creationism works," he'd say. "Creationism worked on the principle of improving a person's overall health and wellness, and research such as a seven-year study conducted in Switzerland was a better measure of its usefulness," he'd add.
So you're meta-complaining?
Unless "conventional medicine" is also a placebo, there is no real medicine and all these shenanigans about homeopathy are just to strengthen the paradigm.

That's a HUUUUUGEE set of massive leaps... wtf. and they wonder why people don't trust "science".
Nobody wonders why ignorant people don't trust science. The reason is simple and ever unchanging. It's because they are ignorant.

Wrong. I am not, thus, although you may be, we* can't.
*for sufficiently large values of "we".

Are we sure zebras are black with white stripes and not the other way around?

Wrong. When it applies to executive remuneration they REALLY don't understand why you pay for talent.
Otherwise, the problem would eventually solve itself.
Neither apples nor oranges are lighter than air.

Why are all my sentences questions?
Why link to an article about some studies that "prove" common knowledge is false, instead of linking directly to the studies themselves?
Is it journalistic courtesy?

That's one of the best praises it could receive.
Remember kids, don't fail, or you'll have to spend your time complaining about people who didn't.
For productivity reasons, you should have constructed your critic without details, so you could reuse the reply in many other cases.
For example: "I don't like it. Therefore, it's stupid. And people who like it are stupid too."

If they had a flag they'd be a government.
