The comet produces a band of debris. The Earth's orbit crosses the band of debris. Pretending that the band of debris is fixed, we get an Earth that is crossing through the band very, very slowly, while rotating. So, no matter where you are on Earth, your section of sky crosses through the densest part of the debris at 0100-0300. That is why they never include location, or if they do, it is location followed by GMT.
Okay, what was wrong with your scenario? Someone whose business is the study of something would be considered knowledgeable about the subject. Right? I tend to listen to my mechanic, do you?
(side note: The oceans areboiling, the ice caps aremelting (ignore the biased article and the biased website, just look at the picture), and the fields areburning! What more do you want?)
Ummm, no. It is a human trait to want to control others. The left wants to protect you from your choices and the right wants to punish you for your choices. Both want to do it 'for your own good.'
To easily demonstrate that you are mistaken about the right, take the gay rights debate. One of the right's main talking points is that homosexuality is a choice. If they were for the freedom of choice, there wouldn't be a marriage equality debate. I should be able to choose to commit to another man as I would a women. Are we not equal to women? If the right was for the freedom of choice, why would there be a debate about Plan B or that herpes vaccine?
It is a simple human thing. Everybody is fine with the choices they agree with.
Why does every discovery about the brain article end with 'This could lead to a new Alzheimer's treatment'? Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and the relatives of sufferers may be interested, but surely a larger segment of people looked at this article and went "I know Kung-Fu!"
I would point out that we all tend to believe things that we want to be true, even when we are aware of the bias. True human flight( a person just jumping into the sky, up, up and away) was been a collective dream for all of recorded history and probably before. It is a nice soft spot in the human psyche that is easy to exploit.
I'm feeling a little snarky, so I ask how is that possible? Shouldn't those teachers be in school? I know that that is a ridiculous response, so I'll try harder.
I understand that it is your experience that many parents of home schooled kids are teachers. I cannot disprove that or even provide a good statistic about the relation between teachers and homeschooling. I would, however, point out two possible issues. A teacher who has a difficulty with the system themselves, not necessarily related to the education, could be more likely to home school. Also your own views may cause confirmation bias. According to the Department of Education, in nearly 60% of the households that home school neither parent has more than "some" college education. I'm not positive, but don't you need a bachelor's to teach?
I see where you are coming from. I would like to point out that us gays may have reason for overreacting. Consider that, to this day, there are communities in the First World where the gay panic defense is still valid. Maybe a little special protection is in order. I'm curious as to what special privileges we are asking for though.
I'm just shocked by this. Who would expect that NASA would be underfunded by Congress and have to cut the grandiose plans NASA has been telling us about?
Seriously, who expects anything out of NASA these days? Congress has been trying to kill NASA off since the 80s. Now that private space flight is looking more and more like a reality, what good is a government run space program? ( I say that as a cynic. I know NASA is good for science. When was the last time science was a priority for the US government?)
I'd go out on a limb and guess that you are either older than 40 or you went to a fairly "cheap" school. I'm not implying your school was a bad one. I'm just saying the tuition must have been abnormally low.
I would also like to point out, due to their nature, scholarships are limited to a few. You worked hard and got a scholarship, no doubt edging someone else out. What are they going to do for tuition?
Taxes is a small small part of it. Marriage confers a host of other rights, like automatic next of kin. You get to say what happens to your lover's body, you get to visit them in the hospital when it is "family only," you get to make decisions for them when they are incapable. A big deal for a community that still be thrown out of the hospital by the hate-filled "in-laws."
I would say to that, fuck reality. Anyone with half a brain can smell the entropy all around us and the smaller picture is worse. America debating going all the way with fascism, with Americans cheering all the way. I met a sweet little old lady convinced that all Muslims were out to kill Americans because "they think that we are the great white Satan." Reality is pretty fucking awful and, on occasion, I need an escape.
this seems like a troll, but there really is an obnoxious trend in the fantasy genre. Emotional confused woman plus a superpower and a distant tall dark stranger. She, of course, is smarter and more clever than everybody else, but realizes her feelings for Mr. Dark only after he rescues her. Now empowered by LOVE she defeats the evil. Now repeat over a thousand variations with different titles. You have the fantasy section at Barnes and Nobles. It sucks.
Economics is the reason that the government must be involved. The driving force behind a private service's price is what they believe is the maximum amount you will be willing to pay for their service. (After covering production costs, of course.) There isn't supposed to be a profit margin in the government, they are supposed to provide the service for what it costs them to provide it. For something like water, I'm sure you can see how the prices are supposed to diverge. Corruption and greed on both sides of the divide hinder the process.
As a weather forecaster, I had to respond. Yes, yes we can forecast rain 3 days in advance. You just remember the rare times we get it wrong, if you pay attention at all. There is a margin of error. Plus, it may not rain directly on you, but it is probably raining somewhere or somewhen very close by. We would tailor the weather forecast to you specifically, but your hooker schedule is too erratic.
All the comments I've seen are naysayers. I use my iPad with unote. Unote has a neat zoom feature. you write with a stylus in the zoomed section and it acts like a typewriter, moving the real position of the drawable section left as you move left, letting you write a lot on one line, while letting you write clearly. It is good for formula and Greek lettering.
You got the wrong thing from the post. There was sarcasm. The stereotypical (USA) pro-lifer follows the Republican belief system. No abortion, but plenty of money for the military, and a strong death penalty. Like the rest of the Republican belief system, strongly contradictory stances presented together without blinking.

Boring! TVs built into tables has been done. I want a TV built into my recliner! And wheels.

Plus, you can buy a good pair of binoculars with a camera embedded in them, so why would you want a set that looks like a rifle?
I made a boo-boo. I was looking at the column to the left of the right numbers. Sorry.

That is an awful way to live.
What is your line of reasoning for "most paid labor amounts to busywork?"

What is the point of technology then? Shall we go back to washing our clothes in the river? Think of all the energy we'd save!

Check YouTube. People do that. It looks crazy-fun.

So how do you do the type of research that requires living subjects, without living subjects?
