A lack of historical records is not strong evidence again the solar flare theory, since Europe was in the dark ages and there were few literate people and few records survive from that period. China was thriving and prosperous under the Tang Dynasty, but it may have happened during the night in China, or even on a cloudy, overcast day, which is common in eastern China.
Indeed. The Chinese, and possibly Arabs, Japanese and Anasazi Indians, noted the supernova of 1054 CE that made the Crab Nebula; Europe missed it altogether. Time of day was not an issue for that event, because it lasted a couple of years.
But anyway, it's only TFP that alludes to a lack of historical records: TFA cites two.
"Seems unlikely" is what TFP says. TFA says no such thing, and goes on to point out a couple of contemporary observations that would seem to explicitly support it.
That puzzles me too. I'm told that in general anesthesia, they have to monitor your signs very closely, because there's quite a narrow band between not enough anesthetic and too much...seems that a little twist on the valve would accomplish the objective.
it was like they thought there were little Maxwell's Demons
Ventilation air in an airliner exits at the tail, and the smoking section was aft, so smoke diffusion didn't make a lot of headway against it. Nothing to prevent a restaurant arranging their ventilation similarly.

...We aren't allowed to have Europe-quality Internet access because freedom.
The Spaghetti MREs are pretty good after three years.
I know guys who actually like MREs, and bought their own supply for hunting trips after the left the service.
Many sporting-goods stores stock MREs. Not bad compared to a lot of camping food.
I went on a field exercise in 1961 with K-Rats packed in 1943...I'd have been delighted to have MREs.
...and you'll never make another math error.
And somehow we've managed to watch movies in peace for about a hundred years. Shocking.
You're aware the movie sound comes over earphones, right?
Southwest, Delta and Jet Blue (at least) have done precisely that.
It's $10 a minute now. Don't think I've ever seen one used, and most of them have been removed.
"Parts of Colorado" is a truck stop town that tried to make a political statement. It didn't last past the first visit to their lawyer's office.
the classic interface will only be available for "a number of months."
Show of hands. All in favor of Avogadro's Number...
It is a good federal prescient
If the oncoming drivers were prescient, they wouldn't need the warning.

Do your understanding of pneumatics a favor: google "airplane outflow valve".
Methinks you could have parsed that sentence a bit better.
City? Deer Trail is 500 people living in one square mile around a truck stop.
Wouldn't be permitted. Lots of global warming deniers are also evolution deniers, and they cite what they think the Second Law means as proof.
Myanmar and Liberia are in that august company too.

Barely made it to 3.

Given that, I have to doubt the motivation.

Three characterizations of statistics, in ascending order of accuracy:
1. There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
2. Figures don't lie, but liars figure.
3. Statistics is like dynamite. Use it properly, and you can move mountains. Use it improperly, and the mountain comes down on you.
Why are things so heavy in the parallel universe?
It got most of the Higgs bosons.
Therefore there is no accountability.
You really need to have a talk with your lawyer.
No, they aren't the only ones. Just the most insidious party.
No, just the ones who got caught.
Nice metaphor

These cars are usually handled in a genital manner.
Well, yeah, but they're only SYMBOLIC genitals.
