When 'Linda' calls, I'd like to request a block on the 'barely legal' genre but a definite yes to MILF. Brunettes, OK. Redheads, definitely yes. Blondes, if nothing else is available. Gonzo porn: check. Light on the plots, please. Big jugs OK, but hold the circus-sized breasts. Nice long legs a must.
What? You say your filter cant handle this? What sort of an outfit are you running there? I'd be surprised if Linda didn't hang up in the middle of my filter parameter list.
And when they drag me into court for some conspiracy, I'll just cite Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and SchrÃdinger's cat as basis for reasonable doubt and get off scott free.
They forgot that when they stepped back in time, Earth was no longer in the same position as it was. Having moved through space in orbit around the sun and galaxy center. So they appeared in the vacuum of space and promptly expired.
... they should be finding evidence of a lot of con artist prognosticators plus some people whose PC clocks are set incorrectly.
The con artists make a whole batch of 'predictions' and then disavow responsibility for those that don't come true. This is made easier by the anonymity of the Internet. Make predictions, each under a pseudonym. And then only prove ownership of the names that made the correct guesses.
And attacking people's beliefs makes one look like a pompous ass as well. So just showing up for such a debate would be a no-win strategy. All the creationists have to do is whine, "He's picking on me! Boo hoo!" and win sympathy.
not to address "the fundamental issues".
The underlying issue is the logical fallacies that creationists use to pass their belief off as an alternative to science. And the reason creationism needs to be pushed back is not the belief itself, but the lack of critical thinking skills upon which such belief is constructed and the danger that these will creep into people's everyday life.
If they are good at blocking the bureaucracy, that is definitely a value. If they don't have a technical background, then they shouldn't be making technical commitments for the group in meetings. A manager willing to admit his strengths and weaknesses and seek support for the latter is worth his weight in gold.
... of how little I really need to watch ABC programming. Let corporate fuck up a few more times and perhaps they will be replaced.
ABC corporate screwed over our local affiliate years ago. There were a few personality conflicts with popular local personalities that they needed to win. They did. Talented and well liked people moved on and the station's ratings went into the toilet and stayed there.
Nye needs to keep the debate about the scientific process in general. Not get bogged down in the details of Evolution vs Creationism. I'm not certain he is an expert on either topic. But if he can stop the discussion at the introduction of logical or process errors, he stands a chance.
The argument isn't really about Creationism anyway. I really could care less. But the failures in application of the scientific principle that allow such a belief are what harm society. And no creationist has ever convinced me that they can faithfully follow the correct process in all cases other than this one.
But most people understand PO boxes and know where Nigeria is. Grandma just thought the kittens were cute and had no understanding why a binary from.ru or.cn would be something to worry about. OTOH, grandma has come close to cleaning out her savings account because Leisure Suit Larry said he'd hold the cash for her.
because we're all system administrators of our own machines,
And by 'we', you mean the majority of users who see the UAC popup and only understand, "Blah, blah. Blah, blah download, blah, blah, blah. Yadda, yadda, codec, blah, blah, blah." And all they want is a button that says, "Make the nasty box go away and give me the cute kitten desktop."
Actually, they'll poll really well if some SWAT team kicks in some doors and stops the next attack. And the NSA's contribution to that is revealed. I don't think the current surveillance regime (what we knew of it, anyway) polled terribly well after Boston. The Russians told us to watch these guys and still our entire bag of tricks didn't stop them.

And then there's that 12 digit Slashdot ID. You'd get modded down so far by the old timers nobody would ever see your posts.

How about:
6) None of the above.
In that case, use Dogecoin. They may still steal your money, but not without Shiba bite-marks on their ass.
Wow. Such money. Much volatile. Very safety.
Trap shootin' season is over early.
It is summer down there now. The ice isn't freezing around the ship. Wind is blowing ice floes into a large pack which has trapped the ship.
Hopefully, as the seasons change, the winds will shift and loosen the ice before winter and an actual freeze.
Yeah, yeah.

Game over.
Ain't that the truth?
And then read "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". The Bible will then become clear for what it is.

The Opel fan club would like a word with you.
I wish you wouldn't drool when you whisper in my ear.
Those would be the practitioners of the command line.

That's a nice ${ANATOMICAL_PART} you've got there.
Running only a terminal session.
Then I never have to worry about loaning my machine to anyone, guest accounts or whatever.
No passwords stored as plaintext on my system's disk. Only on the yellow post-it stuck to the display.
