No, statistics is about the majority of cases -- which clearly show that people who promote abstinence are mostly interested in other people's abstinence. Hence, while abstinence is highly successful among those who use it, telling other people to "just don't do it" has a very low success rate.
Sex is an act with a defined purpose, well its actually two fold, its first to procreate and second to strengthen and forge the bond between the patriarch and matriarch of the family.
And here I thought the purpose of sex was to generate biological diversity so as to increase survival, adaptability, and the rate of evolution -- although of course different species might have different uses for it. For example, in some primates it seems to function almost as a greeting, and in some lizards (nicknamed "lesbian lizards") it seems to merely increase fertility while totally failing the usual meiosis part, whereas in a small subset of a certain species of primate it seems to function mostly as a way to score religious points.
And if it were science, you wouldn't label skeptics as heretics, err, deniers.
Why? Scientists like to use precise, descriptive language. doubter: a person who doubts skeptic: someone who demands evidence in order to be convinced denier: a person who refuses to accept the existence, truth, or validity of something despite evidence or general support for it
It's rather meaningless that someone accused of stealing information is in prison when some of the information was released. It does bring a smile to my face that their announcement is written in "Russian accent" English, especially with all the blaming Russia because we don't like the leaked info going around.
More generally, choosing abstinence for yourself is far more effective than the usual version where you choose abstinence on behalf of others, frequently instead of teaching birth control for those "few" hormonal teenagers who aren't interested in abstaining.
To put it more accurately, the establishment hates Trump's guts, which, to many people, is a large portion of his appeal. And another portion of his supporters are from the "wrecking ball" theory of anti-establishment. And another group support him because they think Congress will block his every move.
No, it is most definitely not a mere average of polls. It's a weighted average, and almost every poll was given 0.00 weight. In most cases, that is to reflect the fact that "that was then, this is now" but in many others it is to reflect the fact that the authors of the poll were flaming idiots.
Just to note, the "accurate" polls available in your first link are not available until November 6 (Final Gallup Poll seems to be 2 days before the election)... and are wildly inaccurate if you measure by predicted victory margin (which would be the most interesting aspect on the topic of election), rather than by percentage of support (just predicting 50% support would be almost as accurate).... and that's for Gallup polls, rather than talking head polls.
Still, they did more often than not correctly predict the winner.
Tremble, lowly plebes. Bad things happened near you. This nasty crime happened right nearby you, you were lucky not to be the victim and should consider spending more money on police to prevent such things. We know you were there, maybe you were the perpetrator? We'd like to ask you some questions, it's voluntary although I must say I wouldn't expect the perpetrator to respond.
PS: we promise not to expand the program to "voluntary but not responding makes you the prime suspect" nor to "response is mandatory", and we also promise not to expand this program to minor crimes.
Are you serious? Mining is and always has been the POSTER CHILD for worker exploitation.
Yes, he is seriously saying that mine owners don't give a crap about their workers' well-being or safety, and are only replacing them with robots to save money, largely because the government doesn't let them treat humans as disposable like in the old days while robots got better/cheaper.
The anti-establishment Pirate Party, which was founded in 2012, won 10 of 63 seats.
Oddly enough, the anti-establishment candidates here in the US (Bernie and Trump) are also hugely popular, although I guess also not quite enough to win, especially with the backstabbing from the establishment.
I imagine it would be perfectly acceptable to, for example, only show ads for Asian food to Asians, especially since Internet ads are paid by view. And it would be motivated by good business sense rather than discrimination.
Uh, I'm pretty sure that means that your ad can't say you're looking for someone except for the nasty race(s), not that you can't target your ad towards one or another race. Eg if your ad says, "looking for white male programmer, age 20-30", you had better have a good lawyer.
Literally, I'll not be able to buy food after Apple kills cash. Then I'll die.
You'll still be able to buy apples with cash. Unless Apple has the courage to abandon an obsolete, thousand-year-old technology, and refuses to accept cash for their products.
Total monthly active users grew for the second consecutive quarter to 317 million users, gaining 4 million over the past three months since its second-quarter results.
I'm sure that's long term growth and not just due to some temporary factor like interest in the coming election.
Their findings confirm widespread theories that HIV first leapt from apes to humans in Africa around the beginning of the 20th century
WTF? HOW?
It's thought that it was due to blood transfer when hunting or eating apes.
The Worobey team also sequenced samples of virus taken from Gaetan Dugas, a Canadian flight attendant named as "Patient Zero." Dugas died in 1984 and stunned researchers when he told them he'd had about 250 sexual partners a year between 1979 and 1981, although it later became clear that was not uncommon.
WTF HOW?
Presumably he was very attractive, and had a lot of stamina.

Choosing abstinence doesn't rape-proof you.

How to recognize when a company quietly labels you an "older programmer" rather than an "experienced programmer".

Polls are almost always right.
Not the most "newsworthy" ones -- especially when they show a surprising victory for their favored politician.
maybe this is different in the US, but here in Europe, only children look forward to going to McDonalds
When I was a kid, I did like the Happy Meal. But what I really liked the free cheap plastic toy in the Happy Meal, and their oversized gerbil castle.

Looks like the lobby that asked for an anti-competition law didn't do a good job.
