    Clobbering reality with statistics is what you do when you don't have a theory to work with.

    It's kind of un-scientific, but it puts all that equipment to 'good use.'

    And believe me, the scrutiny and the attacks have just started. Vote for Clinton if you want four more years of this environment. Or maybe two years and a Clinton Half Dollar, but that's conjecture at this point.

    Well, when you put it in clinical language like that, it makes you sound like a fucking prude. Not much like a genius, to be certain.

    I know this is the nerd blog, but get a clue.

    Bragging about sexual assault that there is no firm evidence he committed. He was being a showoff. He is/was enough of a celebrity that women would actually throw themselves at him, so he didn't have to 'take' anything.

    Which is beside the point. The hard evidence of sexual assault and a spouse who enabled it and attacked the victims to help her 'man' is with the Clinton couple. What a couple they have been.

    All these email leaks show the Democrats as making 'disparaging remarks' about all sorts of people. Lots of the people who they claim to champion the rights of, in fact.

    Anybody who thinks Donald Trump doesn't have a chance of being elected is entirely delusional.

    fivethirtyeight is pretty damn partisan.

    Really, "it's her turn" just like it was Bob Dole's turn. Hopefully it will 'turn' out the same.

    Deforestation happens mostly to graze cattle or grow other crops. Paper is mostly made from wood grown with sustainable forestry practices.

    Think of it this way: trees consume carbon dioxide. Anything that encourages the growth of trees on 'managed land' (i.e. forestry for pulpwood) is good for the environment. Or at least neutral.

  10. Pedantic definition? There is a specific definition. It isn't anything to be pedantic about, it's just something you can cite.

  11. Re:Is this for the one guy who kept hist Galaxy 7? on Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 Recall Is an Environmental Travesty (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    With the payload in question, it just makes sense for Samsung to get to the bottom of the failure, and rework the phones. There are too many for an effort of that sort not to be made. Once that issue is resolved, they can decide to rework them if they like, and sell them again.

    Obviously, because of the hysteria, and the uncertainty at this point, they all had to be withdrawn from the use immediately, but that is for now. It's worth putting a team of engineers on the project when there is a billion dollars worth of equipment worth reworking.

    So I take it your guest room is filled with Syrians at the moment. It probably won't be for long, but make sure you double up on the groceries on your next shopping trip, dude.

  14. People are in desperate need because of a war going on in their country. The solution is to end the war, probably through military might, and let the people return home.

    Although, they're probably economic, not political, refugees.

    The Boomers benefited from the reforms of the New Deal

    I play MMOs to immerse myself in a virtual world. To do stuff in said virtual world. For fun, mostly.
