I happen to think that we can know the truth about some things easier than we can about others. You can't have a "round" square for instance, or there is a huge planet orbiting our sun at roughly 4.9 AU. I live with the notion that for the most part my senses don't lie to me, and they show reality as is... and where they do (as in extreme situations of relativity or quantum dynamics) I can build instruments that are better than me at seeing reality, but which my brain is capable of understanding. Reality is real.
I am an atheist, and my ex is not, my kids will make up their own mind regardless of what I say, but I take opportunities to express my point of view (with as much respect as I can muster, and sometimes it's really tough, as when she expresses creationist views!). I cannot let superstition win by default. I also encourage them to think for themselves, so far it's worked, and they can tell BS when they see it or hear it.
You cannot checkmate a man who refuses to play chess.
IOW, you cannot win a logical argument against those who refuse to acknowledge the rules of logic and the primacy of reality.
I have in my fridge a container of grasshopper salsa that is The Yum. From Diane Kennedy's Oaxaca book. It's not the only insect recipe there either. Ant grubs (Escamoles in Mexico) are delicious (to those that can afford them!)... and don't get me started on how good agave worm tacos (Gusanos de Maguey) are!
Discover because I find it hard to quit after nearly 30 years of reading it every month. Make because it's beautiful and inspires me, I also get Fine Cooking and occasionally buy at the newstand Dwell.
OK... My bad, you guys are right, this guy was neolithic, not paleolithic, I'm sorry.
Yup, you heard it right, someone on the internet admitting they were wrong, and apologizing for it!

Newer spectroscopic data suggest that WR 104's rotational axis is more likely angled 30–40 from Earth... so we're ok, something else will kill us.
You're wrong... there's no reason why shellfish are kosher, other than 2000+ year old mythology (and maybe, only common sense that applies to an era without modern refrigeration)
Wrong... there are NO open source project management tools that do even a fraction of what a proper tool should do... and none of them do resource leveling, which it shouldn't be that hard to implement... I hate MS project, but as an occasional project manager, there are no real options I've found out there.
So let me get this straight... you used a closed account to make a payment, essentially equivalent to paying with the checkbook from an account 6 months closed... though I understand it was an accident, some would go as far to say it's fraud. I'm not one to defend BofA in general, but this one is not 100% their fault.
Is that the same Mexican Revolution of 1919 that was planned by Madero at the U.S. embassy in the D.F.? Nope... the revolution of 1910 was theoretically as corrupt as it showed to be through 70+ years of PRI rule,
Please don't make up golden ages that never existed. the 30's to 50's were no such thing.
Rand Paul is not a Libertarian... his dad may be, though I'd consider him more of a Constitutionalist. Back when the tea party started, there were a lot of Libertarians attached to the project, mostly those disillusioned with no progress, but most of those who would consider themselves hard core Libertarians have since left it to the religious nuts (while still reserving the right to agree with some of what they are against in economic matters)

Likely in between the cushions of the couch... I find the weirdest things there.
Wrong... the feds are STILL going against dispenseries.
By admitting you were wrong, you, sir, have won the internets today.
