  1. Re: No Alternatives??? on US Tests Nuclear Power System To Sustain Astronauts On Mars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should power a Martian base with West Virginia coal. #MAGA

  2. Re: Global Warming Alarmism on Global Warming Predictions May Now Be a Lot Less Uncertain (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The true hysterics of climate climate change are found in evoking vast conspiracies among scientist and hysterically pretrending their is no problem despite a huge and well-accepted body evidence to the contrary. The claim rational position: a) recognize problem b) devise solution and c) fix problem.

  3. The sky is falling hysterics are coming from the r on Global Warming Predictions May Now Be a Lot Less Uncertain (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    AGW is recognized by a consensus of scientist in every major scientistic organization in every developed country in the world. And yes, scientist convincing other scientist about the validity of novel ideas is absolutely how science works and it's measured through citations of peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals. The hysterics come from concrete thinkers who are convinced that we either live exactly as do today with fossil fuels as our energy source or we live like hippies on a commune. Utterly based on an false dichotomy. Have some faith in human ingenuity and the free market. Alternative energy sources can and will be found. We don't need to have huge uncessary upheavals of water and agriculture that will cause refugee crises and wars so that a select few can continue to throwup market barriers to their competition and receive unfair subsidies in the form of externalities, that is not paying the full cost of their products. If the sky is falling it's because fossil fuels are going the way of the buggy whip.

  4. Great deal for moderate data users/travelers on Project Fi Creates Its Own Version of An Unlimited Plan (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I can control my bill so that I pay as little as $30 but never more than $80. I pay for exactly what I use and nothing more. Unlike some other carriers I get excellent receiption in rural areas thanks to U.S. Cellular. In addition, I've used my phone in Canada, Ecuador, Hong Kong and Indonesia with no issues and no additional Sims or added charges. Best of all, no contracts or early termination fees what so ever. This makes me even happier I switched to Project Fi.

  5. Re:Did he fly to NY on a private jet? on Bill Gates Warns Against Denying Climate Change (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    You have said nothing to refute Gates' argument. You're using the logical fallacies called Tu quoque and Red Herring. Just diverting attention since from you can't generate a rational response.

  6. Re:T-Mobile on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 1

    If you're in a major metro area, T-Mobile is by far the best and cheapest. They also let you tether with all their smartphones without an additional tethering charge. If you're in the boonies, it seems Verizon is the only way to go.

    I work on ecological research across rural areas of the Southeast. AT&T coverage is non-existent in many rural areas. Verizon is has much better coverage in the areas where I work.

  7. Increase function instead of lifespan? on The Fight To End Aging Gains Legitimacy, Funding · · Score: 1

    This research could actually be useful if it increased function at the end of life. Imagine being able to hike, swim, garden, travel into your 80's. No being incapacitated for 10 years before you finally die. No huge bills for nursing homes. Imagine being 80 or 90 and being autonomous, living independently in your own home, until you finally die in your sleep. Such treatments could conceivably pay for themselves through decreased use of the health care system in old age. Win-win.
