    Maybe you should pull your head out of...the sand.

    Warmer and longer summers, warmer winters, winter with a maple syrup isn't happening, beetles that normally die off in the winter aren't, so they are reaping more devastation. hotter fires, more energy in storms in general.
    On and on.

    I wouldn't use thing being banned in Europe as any type of bar. They tend to ban thing specifically on public protests and not on any actual facts.

    Lets see some other group replicate these results, assuming they are good studies. I haven't read the study.

    Or did they say the may be the result of changing climate, more research is needed?

    I will also add the 2 studies by the same group is hardly conclusive.
    I, and every one I know, hopes to hell it some pesticide we can ban as opposed to climate change.

    " selective skeptic scientists"
    That is a nonsense statement.

    Organic farming produces less yields, is more harmful to the environment used more pesticides and herbicides, but it gets a free pass becasue of the word 'Natural'. The fruit is no more or less nutritional then science based farming,

    No, recalling memories cause decay and changes in the memory. This is a well know neurological fact.

    You moved from intelligence to smart. Which do you mean?

    Some aspect of intelligence are culture based. Others are inherited. Really, you need to be more specific.
    For example. if you were raised by Homo ergastor, you wouldn't be nearly as smart..also, dead. :) OR if You went back in time, there is a chance they would consider you stupid, becasue you couldn't do common things.

    Also, evolution isn't a belief, it's a fact.

  22. Re: Vigilante on In SF: an App For Auctioning Off Your Public Parking Spot · · Score: 1

    No one says that. Find better sources.

    What we should do is stop pursuing people who are already here and focus on the border.
    The cost of removing people who are here illegally is huge, mind numbing large. It's a waste.

    Then there is the issue of people dragged here as children. Deporting them is uncivilized and, frankly, just mean.

    We should also have easy to get short term visas for people who work fields, since there aren't enough Americans willing to do it.

    "and that we shouldn't discriminate based on education or skills like you Europeans do."
    what does that even mean?

    Again: Find better news sources.

    I could go on about prereagan immigration for farm workers. If we could go back to that, it would be awesome. just don't think it's possible now.

    Many parking meter are moving away form the model. For example, in Portland, OR. you get a sticker with the time. If you leave early, the time 'goes with you' so to speak.

    I don't know any parking garage where you can leave and come back to the same space without having to pay again. I have wished for a parking garage like that, where I can pay for a day, and then come and go as I like for that day.

    Nope. This is a person taking a common public resource and only making it available for the wealthy. Charging only waht the wealth would pay would severely impact people who make less money.
