He’s guilty. That’s for sure. Here’s my big question for general discussion: What should he have gotten?

What about garlic pills? I was desperate when I went to summer camp as a kid, these were supposed to make their way into your blood stream and eventually be secreted by your pores, making you smell bad to mosquitos but not to people. No idea if any of it is legitimate science.

This is one of the left’s true misunderstandings of Republican policy. The typical Democratic response to military spending is, “You’re being maddeningly inconsistent! Tighten your belt on the things I want cut too, or not at all!”

I’ve always had my suspicions about this. I’d like to see a proper study done on the demographics of jurors vs. the demographics of citizens the courts serve. I have no idea of all the factors at play. I think it’d at the least make for some great investigative journalism that could give us some hard data on…

I’m actually interested in which studies- do you have links? I’d like to know the degree of the problem as well as the variance.

Before I get into my point, I want to say *I* empathize with you. I’ve been through that, I recognize that reaction in myself, even if I don’t do exactly what you did.

I think Strawberry missed. If you look at other angles, he just goes flying by Benitez. 2:02 you can see him go off the bottom right of the frame and Benitez is still on his feet a moment later.

Honestly, I figured this one out on my own: it really is actually more disgusting to clean a toilet I use standing up vs. sitting down. I got my own studio apartment and I quickly learned it makes a huge difference. I hate cleaning toilets, and if I always sat, I had to clean it maybe 1/3 as often. It’s so blindingly…

It’s just a grading system. You need grades in order to prioritize things. For example: it might be nice to visit Georgia to see how their parks program operates and could be replicated in order to make NY parks better. It also would be a good idea to have law enforcement meetings with Georgia to coordinate the…

Probably not a winning suggestion, but what if you do something with the “child/son/daughter” last name custom? Like for instance, in some cultures (I’m actually not sure which), if the man’s name was “Hans” and they had a boy, then the child’s last name would be Hanson (Hans-son = Hanson). So let’s say your husband…

As a man, I feel utterly unable to comment on this situation - nobody has ever tried to rape me, or made unwelcome physical advances on me (well, a drunk girl, but she was so ineffective I don’t take it seriously) - but I might be able connect two dots, which may be useful to somebody, so I feel it’s my duty to put it…

The probability of contracting mumps once during your life is actually about 1 in 175, assuming you aren’t vaccinated. So that’s not actually insignificant.

As far as the parent aspect goes, I’m not a parent yet, so I won’t claim anything about what parents should or shouldn’t do. I was just hoping to point out others’ perspective. Sometimes understanding others’ perspectives helps me be more sensitive and avoid counterproductive exchanges with others, make my own point…

First, I’m not talking about measles, I’m talking about mumps with meningitis. I completely ignore the risk for measles and only talk about mumps. The odds of getting mumps once in your life increases by 22.5 in 3,000 if you are unvaccinated.

But I should say, it sounds like you’ve done your best to find a fiscally responsible method of healthcare. That’s good. I have no idea how to fix these problems, and the saddest thing of all to me is that the biggest thing keeping us back from solving health problems for a huge portion of the population comes down to…

I did open up the political can of worms myself, didn’t I? I shouldn’t have, when I just wanted to talk about science!

The two most important parts of my post are highlighted. Out of all the discussion I put here, those are, I think, the crux of where you disagree with me: Either you think my method is wrong, in which case I’d like to know what I did wrong, or you think my conclusion isn’t strong enough, in which case I’d like to know…

It’ll take me several days to go through that video. (It’s almost 2 hours long!) I’ve watched 20 minutes (all I have time for at the moment) and here are my impressions:

(I’m going to highlight the useful statistics solely to make them easier to find. I don’t want anybody to think I’m making an emotional argument- these are purely numbers and should be treated as such. The numbers may suggest different things to different people. The art of science is following up those suggestions…

Ah, well, I wanted to be at the extreme upper end: it leaves no wiggle-room for opposing arguments.
