Does it matter? She was told not to do it. She was informed what will happen when she does it. She decided she knows better than those that actually learn a thing about the whole matter.
And then come whining for science to repair your stupidity. No. Fuck it. You get told time and time again to not do something, you still do it, live with it. Or die from it. Either is fine with me. Please get out of the gene pool.
Suit yourself. It's not like I give a shit what happens with my corpse when I'm dead. Current plan is to hand it over to medical research, but if you have better ideas, I'm certainly game.
But hey, I'm on your side now! I'm no longer trying to save the planet or (more accurately) humanity. I'm with you. I think Denis Leary put it best what I'm feeling right now.
Basically it's a little like the strata in rock that differentiate the various geologic times, just on a much smaller scale and, depending on the location, it can be harder to gain a level of fidelity comparable to it, at least if you don't have enough core samples. Since it is (usually) no big deal to get such samples, the accuracy can actually be increased considerably. Obviously the whole process is more accurate in areas that do not suffer from too much human interactions, but even if humans disturb the soil you can still come to sensible conclusions provided you have enough cores from relevant sources. It will not allow you to go down to years (unless you have additional information available like tree trunks that survived the fire in a good enough shape to still identify the annual rings and thus even determine the year of a fire, provided you have current trees for comparison of the ring structures) but it does certainly provide enough information for you to issue reliable statements about how often in a century there was a fire in the area.
If you bothered to at least google the matter instead of just making a cynical comment, you'd learn that you can actually find something like this in the soil.
What do you base your doubt on? Gut feeling or something substantial?
Of course you wouldn't be used in your home town, you might actually know the alleged terrorist and refuse to shoot him because you know ol' Daddy Mikey and know that he would rather shoot himself than do anything against the beloved US of A.
You'd be serving in a completely other corner or the states where you're told that a terrorist group holds a town hostage and uses the women and children as human shields, and you're going in to liberate them and return peace and order to a town hijacked by terrorists.
In a nutshell, you'd get to hear the same bullshit you're fed before invading another country, just that this time around they'd have to make sure that you won't be used too close to home to see through the propaganda.
It's usually the poor that benefit from higher taxes because they also usually pay a WAY lower share. Depending on the tax of course, but in general, the higher the tax, the better for the poorer people.
I doubt that I'll live to see 125 years of age, as far as I care the Statue of Liberty can be flooded by then.
Yes, I'm done trying to save your planet. I'll just use what I got and screw you. If you insist in ignoring science, you deserve to die. Along with your kids.

She made her decision.
This. A million times this.

Is that a fat joke? Hey, you're posting on /., sexist jokes are ok, but fat shaming is a nono, nerds have feelings ya know?
Next lawsuit: You promoted him instead of me, DISCRIMINATION!!!!!1111!
You can't win. The best move is not to play.
Is it me or did I read that before? Is that always the same three women?

In my dreams it's worse. He's singing in Dutch, there.
I'm sitting here at the sidelines. In my own house. That still will be mine tomorrow.
And then I'm gonna take a loan and buy his.
It would by no means surprise me if a lot of people already did that.
Consider: Loan interests are at an all time low, reaching 1% in some cases. Per anno. Here you can get 20% interest. Per day.
You think there aren't already people who started gambling everything they have and then some with the idea "just a few days and I'll have enough..."
No idea, I'm as astonished that I actually got a relevant, meaningful and well formulated answer to a question as you are.
It really felt like it was 2005 all over again.
That's why having a meaningful sample of cores is crucial.
About 25 years, but what does this have to do with...
Wait... you're trying to come on to me? Hey, I'm no guy for just one night! I at least want dinner first.
So ... God is a CEO?
I have no sockpuppets, I'm actually happy I got an answer for a change. Thank you.
The arguments sound valid so far, I'll have to look into it.
Sorry, was just trying to use terms you'd grasp.

At least read TFS, we have found a problem!
That must be the reason those hurricanes predominately devastate the Bible Belt, I guess?

Nobody keeps you from giving us a better explanation for the increasing number and severity of natural disasters.
We're waiting.
That's a typo. It was supposed to be "the geek shall inherit the earth".
Umm... can I waive it?
That's not the point, the point is to illustrate that you could rather get an instrument of destruction than the permit to build something up.

Your poor are very stupid.

You know what? Fewer N1-Rockets have exploded in their entire history than cars crash every HOUR in the US alone.
I'd still prefer traveling by car...
