Houston, we have a control group Seems like we have a 305 person control group, to help test the validity of social distancing. Can we track them all down and get them Covid-19 tested in a couple of weeks? Moose

The pro-mining crowd is going to let me have the last word in this topic? Moose

She did bungle the "fossil fuel execs" thing, although it wouldn't surprise me is those execs also had their fingers in the northern Minnesota sulfide mining projects. Sulfide mining and processing is historically a very contaminating process, and I share the doubts that it can be done in...

You've probably seen this one before. I suspect this is a photoshop: Moose

I haven't a clue of what this is about. Moose

And by "consumerism" you mean buying stuff far beyond our needs? My impression is that capitalism is (also) a pyramid scheme, requiring an ever increasing supply of consumers. Cap or reduce the world population and the economy crashes. Moose

Would there actually be any electric current passing though the humans bodies? I think such as this is a myth. Moose Added by edit - By the way, would there any indication of what message this is a reply to, if I hadn't used the quote? Other than my content obviously refers to the cartoon...

For whatever it's worth, it was at the old Secular Cafe: https://scarchives.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36272&hilit=Aphantasia%3A+inability+to+picture+anything+in+one%27s+mind&sid=5a7c404c4d22e020b269b9e5a8bf4eae BTW - How about a link on the homepage, for scarchives.org? I had to track it down by...

Oversimplified version. You don't radiometric date sedimentary rocks. You do date igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are made of fragments of igneous rocks of various ages. When an igneous rock crystallizes from a magma, the radiometric clock is set to zero. The radiometric daughter elements...

Awake - #2 at best, more like 1.5. Occasionally better, but it seems to be a rare random event. Dreams - Probably #3, but there is the rare random event of a 6 happening. Maybe also long stretches of 0. Of course, i'm processing my dream content when awake, so that rare dream 6 becomes a 1.5...

They did that in Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Evers#Tenure): Did they also do it in NC? Moose

But she didn't inhale. Moose

God, I'm really not up to getting into this can of worms, but... My impression, from discussion at another forum, is that hiring out someone to research an opponent is legal, even if it is a foreign firm. In my muddled mind, the story seems to be that Hillary Clinton and/or some democrat...

I fully agree with you, and I was not trying to argue against him being released. But outside of prison it would seem that he and other ex-cons much have no way to exist. Offhand, it would seem to call for some sort of "halfway house" existence. And that would amount to a kinder an gentler...

The big question is, at best, what is he going to do outside of prison? Even IF he's been rehabilitated into a model citizen, where is he (a notorious ex-con) going to fit into society? I don't see anywhere. Moose

My instincts for the cheating scandal is that the best thing would be a really big monetary fine, maybe along with a small jail/prison sentence. And I can't see that a major punishment for Jussie Smolett is called for, when at the same time we have so many unjustified shootings by police...

Took me a long, long, long time to figure this one out. And it wasn't because of a dope induced time dilation. Finally realized that I needed to drop the "hundred" out of the "4 hundred 20". Moose

Not that I don't think that the Republican party is rotten to the core, but I think assigning the state of the economy to whatever party holds the White House at the time is a distortion. Impressions (and I may be wrong): The Bush 2 era crash was set up by the Clinton era bubble (which was...

So, what if they rerun the experiment, this time only measuring the compound they found the correlation with in the first experiment. And the find that the correlation still exists. Would this not be following the "Good methodology" and be more valid of a conclusion? Moose
