Sorry I still don't understand. Can you rephrase it in a way a City Dweller might understand: potatoes or corn?

Damn you, now that is all I am ever going to see ever again.

I honestly believe they don't give a shit about the money D3 or SCII brings in because they could pay all their over heards with the pocket change WOW shits out every year and still have the cash to keep them in hookers and coke for the rest of their lives.

Her point is that writing in a bitchy style detracts from the message. Writing in an aggressive manner only serves to alienate those who disagree with you and those who are undecided. The undecideds might be swayed, should their opinion be courted in an intelligent manner. So while it appeals to like minded people in…

From your linked article "Our prospects for finding out, furthermore, are quite dim, as — by its very nature — practically every model of cosmic inflation wipes out any information about the Universe that existed prior to the last billionth-of-a-yoctosecond before inflation ended, and our Universe began."

We have no evidence from before the big bang to use, never mind that fact that our current model of physics doesn't even work for the Big Bang because we have an incomplete set of elementary particles and a poor understanding of the exact conditions of the Big Bang (which makes knowing how the fundamental forces…

It wasn't a statistic, it was an opinion.

Many scientists accept the possibility of creationism; fortunately for religious people scientists are willing to accept any idea until evidence to the contrary is presented and verified (if only the opposite were true). While most scientists accept the Big Bang as the most likely start of the observable universe,…

I know this is ages old but I just checked my inbox. I totally lolled!

I understand the point that you are making, however the technology to take people to the moon didn't exist until we invented it. It has to start on a piece of paper.

Unfortunately for you in order to file a trademark you have to demonstrate Brand Recognition for the words in question. While I don't doubt your marketing nouse, you may struggle to make a compelling brand for words like felicular, nubile or cheese...

Forgive me for speaking frankly, but dating a bunch of douchey middle class white guys who are still desperately trying to find a way to 'stand out' from the crowd is not the same as dating someone with Aspergers. I presume that's your demographic because they are always the guys who self-diagnose Aspegers and ADHD…

Not sure if the the thing about Sharkboy and Lava girl was a joke or a shot at him; Rodriguez let his son write the movie (the kid was 5 or 6 when he started writing it) and those were the characters he created. And you could have riffed on Grindhouse instead! Either way 'the more you know' eh?

'....And that, children, is what peer pressure is!'

I think Lizardo's point is that using Cabrera as an example of what is wrong with BMI in the context of the article made absolutely no sense. The fact the Cabrera is healthy and hedges over the 'obese' line skews things the exact same amount as the 400lb fatty who literally can't move, which is to say 'not at all'.

As a scientist you should know you don't need to control everything except one variable; you just need a large enough data set to estimate covariance. This is exactly the problem that oncology faces when it tries to pin down specific causes of cancer but only have relatively small test groups. Fortunately for social…
