I have no comment on weather the Korean War was a genocide. I don't know enough about the topic.

Your statement, that I replied to, was "Nothing in the community rule say that the content should be about established facts"

That is what I understand. But that is not meaningful in this case. Speaking purely hypothetically, there is no reason that the US could not take advantage of North Korean aggression as an excuse to commit the genocide that the article accuses them of.

Should we be learning things that aren't true?

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

that is such a small edge case that it’s not necessary to talk about them

Did you manage to overlook this point?

In general, stay out of the ducking way.

And in both cases, missing the point. Categorize based on the chemistry, not the source of the chemical.

That's an untenable position. I mean, Cocaine is a plant, too.

I mean we as a group. Some of us will, but they will be decried by the rest of us. Too much, too far, too soon.

If we could all get on the same page, that would be one thing. But it's like unions, isn't it? Once man stopping work is just quitting. The whole factory stopping work is industrial action.

kind of my point. Trains need accurately measured time in order to run properly.

Tell that to the trains.

Your last point is wrong, at least as you have stated it. Evaporation time is based on surface area, and the required power is based on volume, but you expressed the amount of water as a length.

Still, metric is way better.

Scientists were so caught up with weather they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I don't think we have the stomach to pull that off.

I'd love to be wrong, though.

Everybody isn't going to lose. All of us will, but the rich assholes are gonna win.

No-one hates democracy like a Republican.

Interesting. That's a good origin, and makes sense. They should have explained that a bit in the article, though.

Thanks for the extra info.

Sad thing is we knew before the election that he needled easily. Whoever decided to stop doing that during the campaign needs to be taken for some wall to wall counseling.

Why is the word "trade" in the headline?

new term, “TACO trade,” an acronym

And what is it doing here?

I'm gonna be extra nasty to him.
