If you execute the process badly, that's "Bad Science".
If you execute the process correctly, or at least as best you can given the known parameters, etc. then you can't call it "Bad Science", even though the results are unexpected and controversial. I would expect that even the most cynical observer would be curious as to what is happening here.
Since his article contained several factual errors related to how the experiment was conducted, it is obvious that he did not even read the full report but just the POS Abstract or even worse, various news accounts.
So actually, HE is the one engaging in Bad Science Reporting.
My comment doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
What business does Google have poking in anyone's emails? Sure, they may find stuff like this that should be reported, but if you say that's OK to do, then you've established the principal and it's slip sliding all the way down the slope. Child Porn today, recall petitions tomorrow.
1. They tested a quantum vacuum plasma thruster inside a vacuum chamber, which is probably cramped, difficult to run test instruments in, and costs more than a bench top and even closed the door but DIDN'T perform the test in an actual vacuum.
2. The did perform the test in a vacuum, but the abstract simply mischaracterizes what they did because the author of the abstract was some Public Relations flunky.
Minimum wage isn't designed for you to "live on". It's designed to help teens learn how to show up to work on time, follow directions, interact with superiors and colleagues, handle money, etc. The compensation is for gas money and date money. This is why it mostly applies to stupid, repetitive jobs that most anyone can do.
If you find yourself with kids, a car payment and paying rent and you are in a minimum wage job, you're doing it wrong.
Every Third World, Tinpot, Dictatorship hell hole already hates them because....because it's easier to run their little piece of shit country when the people are focused on outside enemies instead of the fact they are being raped in the ass by their own government.
Every nation has a right to defend itself...unless that nation is Israel. Then, these people expect them to just keep turning the other cheek.
Funny, Obama and the rest of them called Afghanistan a Just War, which we launched in response to 9/11. So American can go to Afghanistan, half way around the world and fuck them up, but Israel needs to just keep absorbing the rockets.
Here's the difference. Israel investigated, found, arrested and are charging those responsible. Hamas, not so much.
And you have to one fucking hell of a Face Painting Homer to think the current situation is the result of one death and not the hundreds of rockets Hamas has fired at Israel.
I wonder if its just a case of one bird getting a itch in their ass and decide to turn and the guy next them turns just to get out of the way, etc. etc.

These scientist need to understand that the people writing the checks get to make the priorities. If they don't like it, get elected and change it or find someone with money that agrees with them. Being a "Scientist" does not mean you have some moral superiority over others concerning what tax dollars are spent on.
He has no access to the system. He has no access to radar logs. He has no access to destroyed rockets, etc. He has some pics and a PowerPoint presentation.

Science is a process.
If you execute the process badly, that's "Bad Science".

And the show really isn't that funny.
Penny has nice tits though.

Replace "Child Porn" with "Subversive Material" and suddenly it doesn't see like such a good thing, does it?
Or, for you folks who like to "share", copyrighted movies, music, etc.
What would be more likely?

I expect that the vast majority of people reading that knew they were referring to the elimination of rocket fuel.

So if a Rocket was heading for your ass, how much would you be willing to pay to have it intercepted?
One report from one professor who had nothing to go on but videos and pictures.
Typical of folks like you to take something like that as Gospel and build policy around it.
80% of the music in my iTunes came from CDs..."ripped" straight from the plastic. I an convert those all to MP3s.
So they should be suing Microsoft and Apple.
By your own timeline, the Palestinians started this.
Also by your own admission, Israel began the raids only after Hamas began shooting rockets (Again) at Israel.
So suck it.
Israel doesn't need to create enemies.

Because they spent all the money on building tunnels into Israel.
And why is it they come through periodically? Could it be, oh, I don't know, because the people they elected constantly try to kill people in Israel?
No, couldn't be that simple.
Hamas is the aggressor here...constantly.

So a Chinese spy stumbled across the Spruce Goose exhibit and thought, "Wow, total score! This is better than the Stealth!"?
Yet businesses are still voting with their feet and leaving the fetid cesspool of liberal policy.

That's how we ended up battling superior A6M Zero's with technically inferior F-4F Wildcat's during the first years of WWII.

Our first encounter with an alien civilization will be the EPA trying to fine them millions of dollars.
Unless things have changed since I was interested in this, they never supported a White List.
If you are managing your little kid's access, you want to pick and choose sites/review the before giving them the OK.
