    The first Americans: how "clovis first" is a perfect example of the basic flaws inherent in science

    Blah blah blah "I hate the USA, blah!" You didn't happen to mention the number of deaths if the US didn't exist since 1945. Your precious AI says somewhere from 10-50 million more. Good job.

    The first Americans: how "clovis first" is a perfect example of the basic flaws inherent in science

    Literally could not care less about anecdotes. There are countless excellent scientists who conduct excellent and morally upstanding research. I'm calling absolute bullshit on your lumping them all together. And thankfully it's good science that reveals and repudiates bad science. The results of...

    The first Americans: how "clovis first" is a perfect example of the basic flaws inherent in science

    While scientists as individuals are often stubborn, proud, and dogmatic, science as a collective process is utterly submissive to hard data. When the evidence becomes overwhelming, the consensus moves. It doesn’t matter how powerful the tenured professors are, how much money is tied up in the...

    The first Americans: how "clovis first" is a perfect example of the basic flaws inherent in science

    Yeah, that Newton-level math got us to the moon, but if they had somehow done the impossible and traveled near the speed of light, quantum mechanics tells us things would have been different. Work or not, that Newton dude had it completely and utterly wrong. The highest form of failure. :cool:

    Yes, only one loaf this time. About 510 grams (18 oz) of flour. We strictly use it for toast with a ton of real butter on it. I'll grab a photo tonight so you can see the crumb. I mixed it in the afternoon then cold-fermented in the fridge after a few hours. Pulled for a few hours then baked...

    "Simple" sourdough loaf. Anyone who knows sourdough knows it's not actually simple...at first! It takes time to learn the dough, how to stretch and fold, when to bake. But it sure is worth it! This is probably the best one I ever made. Even my wife, who "hates sourdough" said it tasted...

    CEO murder... somethings not right

    "Tu quoque" won't help your case. I know I hit a special nerve with the "generation" comment, but my argument stands on its own merit. Murder in the street because you aren't happy with healthcare is outrageous and should be condemned regardless of what is happening in Gaza.

    CEO murder... somethings not right

    "And they've been trained to feel that way." Yep, they've been trained to feel that way...by a constant barrage of hyperbole. 13 unarmed blacks shot by police in a year out of 2,300,000 black arrests is tragic but hardly an epidemic. It's something to improve on through training. Fuck anyone...

    CEO murder... somethings not right

    You're reading it wrong. Percent column for each category is what matters. Less than 60% found cold blooded murder in the street "completely unacceptable". And those who find it unacceptable is not the headline here. :cool: 41% of these psychos found cold blooded murder in the street at least...
