No idea about that, but your bringing up the issue reminded me of the movie Andromeda Strain...

"Just as he has this insight, the organism mutates into a non-lethal form that degrades synthetic rubber and plastic"

Apparently there's a TV show based on the same story.

Oh... eye get it!

Ah yes... the old "putting out fire with gasoline" approach

Our dog used to love jumping after balls at the beach. We'd do it often. I regret it now. In later life he developed major hip and leg problems. It took thousands of dollars to get him to where he could walk without much pain.

Let's be more exact. There's the scientific process and then there's the result of science.

The scientific process encourages further study and research. It's based upon facts. Our view of the world changes with more discoveries. That's what you believe in, right?

The result of science is immense. You might study one part but have no exposure/interest in another part. Because you accept the scientific process, you can accept the results in other areas without it being a religion.

Contrast that with religion: it doesn't tolerate questions because it has no factual answers. The process is to just blindly accept whatever the holy person/scripture says. We can see around us now how well that is going.

I knew someone that years before would dispose of his cars by dragging them back into his woods (to supposedly) decompose by themselves.
Years later he had a change of heart and pulled them back out but was laughing ruefully at himself because the woods had grown considerably. It was a lot harder going the other way.

Thanks for the feedback on Caddy. 'Will consider that for my next project.

Thanks for mentioning Caddy. 'Will consider that for my next project.

There ain't no hate quite like Christian love.

I've been using it for a few years (on a mail server and some websites) and am really happy. It's worth looking into.

Now what? So it's just chaos for the rest of the session?

Didn't Iceland do this a few years ago, after their economy crashed?

I was hoping the article would go into who is angling to replace McCarthy. Who would want the job?

Hasn't it been shown that, on many levels, the economy has actually done better under Democratic administrations?

What could go wrong?

This for-profit company will finally come up with a solution to nuclear waste that has eluded the industry for decades. But if that turns out to be expensive, Microsoft will be around for thousands of years to ensure that nothing leaks that shouldn't. Of course the US government will help them with the cost of establishing the reactors and when something goes wrong (because "nuclear").

Good idea. How about this.. "So Trump agrees that he should be prosecuted for Jan. 6th?"

I don't know whether to downvote this so as not to further broadcast Trump's lunacy, or upvote it to remind others of Trump's lunacy.

Hah, that' probably where I got it! Thanks!

A Roman walks into a bar, holds up two fingers and says "I'd like five martinis please."

That "wrong source" argument can be an indication you're dealing with someone who is closed off to ideas that conflict with their world view. There may be no point in arguing with them.
If you are looking to see "both" sides of an issue, have you already seen the MIT project Improve the News?
