    Why is it easier to make money when you already have a shitload of it?

    Ok, then. We are in agreement, except that I find the belief that anything "natural" is better for you by defualt to be much more common.

    Just in case...I'm not trying to be a dick, btw. This is how science works. Every single thing someone says gets questioned down to the tiniest detail, trying to take into account everything anyone around can think of that might be biasing the results. It means that, to do it right, you have to avoid attaching emotional significance to what you believe. Scientists are also humans though.

    Have you considered that willow bark tea may be just as toxic, but no systematic study has been done to test that hypothesis? (i.e. there is a form of funding bias to account for before drawing conclusions about toxicity)

    noone reads the actual press release?

    2) Cards - We are NOT targeting Debit cards and nothing below the (Corporate/Amex) level of BoFA/CitiBank/Chase cards. Does this mean we target Classic Cards? No. Other banks? No. We have no intentions of even selling the data we have unlike others who would have profit intentions of using it to make BANK (MILLIONS) in for themselves. We are only doing under $1,000 at a time which helps quite a lot of people in that area. You banks: Need to stop fucking whining and start to up your security.

    Yes, this guy has it right. "When does life begin" is a dumb question. If it wasn't, people wouldn't be able to argue about it endlessly. As for whether it's "ok" for a host to kill a half-formed human... probably not. But I'll never be a host, so what do I know.

  19. Re:Different thing on Climate Change Skeptic Results Released Today · · Score: 2

    Huh? Greenhouse gas has something to do with heat capacity? That's a new one. My understanding is that the important thing is the absorption spectrum of the gas.

    Most solar radiation is re-emitted from the earth as IR light. The thing to figure out is which gasses contribute to the re-absorption of this form of energy in our atmosphere, and how much for each. Everything else is irrelevant without this factor. E.g., If the energy isn't entering the system in the first place it can't be retained.

    After that I suppose you would look at heat capacity effects as well as any effect of cycling through gas and liquid phases, various feedback loops, etc. This is not my field, but your explanation sounds very simplistic and therefore likely fails as a good model of whats going on.
