  1. Re:Flip Argument on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    And yet the autopsy revealed that the bullet that hit his arm entered from the bicep, and the rest of the bullet wounds indicate Brown was facing Wilson. So either he got hit once with his hands up and quickly spun around before the rest of the shots hit him, or his hands weren't actually up when that bullet hit his bicep.

  3. Re: So basically on Republicans Block Latest Attempt At Curbing NSA Power · · Score: 4, Informative

    FYI, because this bill failed, the NSA's authorization to bulk monitor phone calls warrantlessly is now set to expire next year, whereas this bill would have extended it with some minor limitations. Some Republicans who were in favor of the original bill voted against the final version because it didn't do enough, and they would prefer the expiration to take effect instead.

  4. Re:Question about Climate Change on How To Mathematically Predict Lightning Strikes · · Score: 1

    more lightning means more chance of forest fires. More forest fires means more CO2 produced. More CO2 produced means more greenhouse effect. More greenhouse effect means hotter temperatures. Hotter temperatures mean more moisture in the atmosphere. More moisture in the atmosphere means more lightning. Repeat.

  5. Re:What will it take? on What Will It Take To Make Automated Vehicles Legal In the US? · · Score: 2

    Never mind the number of people made redundant and unemployed by automation. Taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers, couriers, and probably a bunch more. Expect the lobbying fees to get into the billions before any politician decides it's time to act.

  8. Re:Russians have a few drugs starting trails on Positive Ebola Test In Second Texas Health Worker · · Score: 2

    Are these russian drugs Psilocybin based, or are they Lysergic acid dyethylamide based? If it's the first, the trails will be shorter, and the strength of other hallucinatory experiences won't be as intense.

    You're right, these scientists should've suppressed their findings.

    Their revenue has stayed the same, but their profits and profit margin have consistently increased. Revenue growth is meaningless without also looking at how that growth affected profits. Lots of growth with little gain is a bad trend.

  13. Re:Stop blaming the Soviets on Aral Sea Basin Almost Completely Dry · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do you declare it a fuckup? They diverted the water, and now have farmland where before they had desert. That was their plan. If you're telling me that they wanted farmland in the desert as well as the Aral Sea to stay the same, then yes it was a fuckup. But I don't think that was the intention.

  18. Poor Analogy on US Strikes ISIL Targets In Syria · · Score: 1

    Considering the many thousands that have been killed by ISIS, including thousands of Iraqi soldiers, I don't think a "fruit fly" is an apt comparison. And ISIS has access to anti-air weaponry too.

    This comment isn't a troll. Claiming the area covered is bigger but the volume is much much lower needs a citation. All I've been able to find are "theories" on why the ice is growing in Antarctica.
