  1. Most of those so called journalists, if they could have learned how to code, they would have learned how to code, they ain't THAT stupid but yeah, some people, well, lets be fucking honest, most people simply can not learn how to code in any meaningful commercially competitive productive manner, not a hope, simply the way it is.

    A lot of people simply can't learn to write a coherent and correctly punctuated sentence either.

    Not having a telescope of any kind, plus it being day, I looked on teh webs.

    FDA, didn't like congress telling them what to do, so instead of promulgating the rules, in the 1990's, they took 10+ years, to promulgate rules.

    Someone should, regulate how you, use commas.

    Observations are not science

    Since it's rather tricky to create quasars in the lab I suppose that means astronomy isn't a science?

    However it's entirely possible that CFC's degrade by themselves with UV light before ever reaching the stratosphere.

    One of the things they degrade into is chlorine. Guess what chlorine does to ozone.

    I award you zero points, etc.

    They could put Ajit Pai in charge - just to be sure.

  10. it will be his successor, and we've no idea who that will be,

    Barron or Ivanka, depending on how long the bastard survives.

    or which party they will be representing.

    Why do you think there'll still be parties? Aren't they only relevant for elections?

    As Morrissey said, some things are oblater than others.

    Jupiter is big and soft and spins like a dervish but it still looks round to the naked eye.

    I suppose it could have happened that all the bits of this thing came together to act synergistically rather than mostly cancelling out but it seems improbable. And if it was spinning that fast wouldn't it have broken apart? Depends how all the forces scale, I suppose.

  15. Re:Loss of insect species is very alarming on Insects Could Vanish Within a Century At Current Rate of Decline, Says Global Review (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    insects are essential pollinators for many plant species, including (and especially) those that are valuable human agricultural crops,

    Don't worry, Elon Musk will 3D print new crops that pollinate via IoT meshworks. With blockchains.

  16. Some medieval people may well have read accounts of the ancient Greek philosophers.

    Most medieval people hadn't read anything.

    So it's quite possible that many people did believe the world was flat, and many more were too busy with trivialities like trying not to starve to give the matter much thought.

    I think it depends on exactly *how* these 'predictions' are used. If it is used to plan patrols, then in *theory* having patrols in the area should be nothing to fear. If it is used as 'evidence', that would be dumb.

    Legend tells of a place where such knowledge can be found. Few venture there, and fewer still return.

    Some call it TFA.

  21. An acre is a furlong by a chain. Or ten square chains, if you prefer.

  23. The truck that takes the beer from the brewery to the pub/supermarket can return to base empty.

    Or it could take back last week's bottles, since it's going there anyway. It's not going to double the fuel consumption, not even close.
