That rate for the frequency of intersex births is highly disputed:

I’d say that’s propaganda intended to delegitimize Palestinian claims rather than a serious attempt to deny that they are an ethnic/cultural/religious group. Personally I think the Israelis’ preferred solution, though they’d rather not admit it, would be better described as forced relocation and assimilation as…

The intention has to be to destroy an ethnicity or cultural group,whether it’s successful or not. We have legal distinctions between murder, manslaughter and attempts at such. So there is no number as that is not the defining factor.

That is strange. I can kind of see the reasoning, “If it’ll send you to hell it’ll send me”, but if you look at it that way every difference between a religious person’s life and a secular person’s life is the former implicitly telling the latter that they’re damned. Not that I think that’s what your grandfather was…

So is every war or even violent conflict a genocide just because there’s a clear loser? Because if the Israelis are committing genocide they’re being really slow and inefficient about it. Looks to me like they’re using the brutal but effective tactics needed to shut down an insurgency, not an attempt to completely…

An Israeli social scientist invented a term first used by the Spanish during the Ten Years' War in Cuba? Those years being 1868-1878. Astonishing.

One time I was working in an out of the way town where the only restaurant was run by a Mennonite family. One of my coworkers decided to start asking the server about their beliefs and she started off with “You’ve heard of the Bible and Jesus, right? Well the Bible tells us to live and dress simply...” in a superior…

If you’re thinking it may result in legislation protecting the privacy of wealthy and influential public figures you, may be right. If you’re thinking there will be some legislation that stops AI from replacing humans in the workforce, you’re wrong. The people who write the laws take money from the people who want to…

I see, I had much the same thoughts about why the fasteners stripped out. I may have phrases it badly but I was wondering if things like alloy or thread pitch, angle and shape could have influenced why they got stuck. Like how pressure fittings can get stuck because the threads are basically triangular in section so…

Making a fake image of someone commiting a crime is not a crime. Harassing someone is a crime. Trying to get someone arrested via a false accusation with made up evidence is several crimes. Unless they're dong one of those things they’ve done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law. You may be able to sue them for…

Someone can work their ass off and accomplish nothing, it's pretty easy. Especially common among people who talk about how hard they work. And take general comments personally. Maybe try to sand down that chip on your shoulder. Hard workers with clean slicers still get fired when they're touchy pricks.

Aside from possibly nostalgia and public interest in the odd arrangement driving numbers for the first few episodes, ratings aren’t going up because he comes back. It’s been a long, strange near-decade; lots of things that worked in 2015 don’t now and TDS is among them, regardless of who’s the host. The landscape has…

No, he isn’t, and no, it doesn't. Now stop making me defend Elon fucking Musk from your misinformation and maybe look something up before you decide to say it's true because you'd like it to be. 

I don't think the ratings have that much to do with the host anymore, the problem is that their competition is now anyone with an opinion, a YouTube channel or Twitch stream and some level of charisma/humor/attractiveness. And the competition can fine tune their content for their audience in a way TDS just can't.

Complaining in this comments section seemed more straightforward than my previous attempts, which involved becoming a traveling newspaper editor in order to send them my notes via a series of crossword puzzle clues. Between the death of print media and them responding with acrostics in mission statements it became…

Regardless of what type they are several are clearly stripped. So either they started the tool before making contact with the fastener, the bit cammed out and wiped the head or the screws were so soft they deformed without camming out. Meaning it was a couple of bad screws, an inappropriate fastener design or they let…

Since you’re involved in designing objects that go to space maybe you’d know if it’s the vacuum and extreme temperature changes that could have caused the problems NASA was having with the fasteners or if a manufacturing or assembly error was more likely to have been the culprit? Thankfully I think we can rule out…

Yeah, I may show that to my retired machinist father. He'll probably get a good half hour's entertainment explaining to me how he'd go about making it and/or what they did wrong.
