If the Clovis people had killed them off, you wouldn't have had them going extinct.
If the Clovis people hunted their main food sources to extinction, I'd expect the demises of the beasts and the Clovis people to be indistinguishable in the geologic record.
I've witnessed that first hand on two occasions where colleagues had to undergo procedures using radioactive substances. One was a lymphoma scan of some sort and the other a gallbladder scan using 99mTc. Both made my Geiger counter scream. The gallbladder guy was 2000x background for a few hours until it was 'eliminated' and/or decayed.
Most oil-fired home furnaces state that they can be run on "Not Heavier Than #2" or "#1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel)". #2 is usually much cheaper and more energetic/gallon, unless there's a shortage as there is now. I've had to run to the gas station and grab a few 10's of gallons of diesel to tide me over until the delivery truck could get to my house (this was the old stinky non-low sulfur diesel, not the new clear bluish kind). I could've used kerosene (#1) if no #2 was available.
accessible to contemporary levels of experimental evidence.
I consider series of photographs of galaxies to be accessible. It took someone looking at the distribution of matter in a galaxy or two to notice there was a discrepancy between the observed and predicted rotational rate and matter distribution. Remember, hints of dark matter popped up in the 1930's - if they could see it, any current high school or college student could've seen it in the intervening years.
Another example is how everyone ignored radio static until Jansky discovered radio waves coming from our galaxy's heart. Static/noise had been around since the first radio receiver was developed in the late 1800's, so anyone could've dug into it - directional antennas were not unknown even in the olden days.
Lions are far too dangerous and getting their daily allotment of raw meat is expensive and can be problematical. Sugar, on the other hand, is what little girls are made of, therefore much more pleasant to work with, although it can be moody and can turn on you. At least little girls (and sugar) don't have claws.
Can you cite examples of fields getting it wrong on large scale details accessible to contemporary levels of experimental evidence?
How about Dark Matter? We didn't know that we couldn't account for about 95.1% of the universe's mass until recently. This first hints of it's existence came in the 1930's, but it didn't burst on to the mainstream cosmological scene until this century. We still don't know what it is. Same deal with dark energy.
OMG! The first time they did that I friggin' flipped. They asked to 'see' my license - I held it up so she could read the birthdate, and the salesperson grabbed it out of my hand and scanned it before I could object. Man, I was pissed! I complained to her, the store manager, and I wrote a letter to HQ. No one understood the privacy implications of them scanning all of that data from my license.
this site has a map and a table that tells you what's on your license by state. Virginia has a ton of info that I'd rather Target not have.
The situation that just infuriates me is the disposal of so-called 'nuclear waste' - if the government and greenies didn't have their collective heads up their butts we'd be burning that 'waste' in reactors that can extract the remaining 99% of the energy that was present in the original fuel. Instead we're going to vitrify it and bury it away.
You know: Finnland, polar circle, christmas: +7 degrees centigrade. That is ridiculous warm it should have been around -30 degrees centigrade, or colder.
So when a denier uses a single datapoint to support their skepticism you laugh at them and call them idiots. When a supporter does it, it's ok?
Why the [sic]? 'Their' is the correct word. It certainly wouldn't be 'there', and when talking about relative speed there have to be two objects, hence the plural - 'its' would not be correct either.

Ok, You're old-fashioned and senile. :-)
Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
So from the data collected they should be able to calculate the big-O order of growth of the brain when it searches for words?

The fact that I even know who Frank Zappa is shows I'm no young 'un :-)
I was in my mid-teens in '79.
I wouldn't say that ISM bands are unregulated, at least in the US - they're in fact heavily regulated. What they are are unlicensed.
You still have type acceptance, emission type limits, power/field strength limits, etc. It's not a free-for-all.

It was also taken up in the 1970's by that middle-eastern guy Sheik Yerbouti.
Biological critters are a common cause of clogged oil-fired home furnaces. You can buy biocides to take care of it.

They hounded me out of the community as a loon ...
Your rant here does nothing to make me believe they were wrong; in fact, it seems to prove them correct.

What's with the exclamation point if you turn to the right?
The 2D barcode also has all that info. See this or this page to see what's on there.
