Great graphic! wow though... as high as 66%... i.e. 2/3 is not kept... this should be illegal... no process in science or industry could yield that failure rate... but oh yeah it's only animals and the environment... we humans aren't reliant on that sort of thing anyway, amirite?

A company is not a person for the love of god. It is given a legal status for the purposes of liability, money management, an entity that can be separate from an individual(s) or exist longer than an individual(s). It is a legal place holder. A corporation does not have reason or rights. To worry about the…

This is an attempt to take a dogmatic outlook and force reality to conform... Sure, not all of his insights were completely baseless, but it seems he created a framework, that to him, was workable and absolute and then tried to force reality to bend to his ideas. This is poor science.

Ha the same peers that watch porn have outrage about her being in porn... what the fucking fuck?

This right here! You actually want another human being... how awesome... you didn't want a doll or a copy or a progeny... that is just awesome that you let them be people, sure you have boundaries and are looking at their best interests, but you let them be an individual...

Anyone know the long term durability of these aerogels... in that, if we can manufacture it cheaply, then talk about the best insulator for satellites, many science applications, and an endless set of consumer applications...

I worked from 28-32 as a night shift worker... how long does it take to re-adjust and to some degree regenerate to a new day schedule in terms of gene expression and health of the neurons in the locus coeruleus. Or, will there just be a degree of damage and lack of plasticity that I will come to expect in the future?

Fascinating information sir! thank you for the insight.

However if you subscribe to a multiverse theory which this discovery helps to further... then there is something outside of our universe... i.e. the meta-universe... composed of, who the hell knows. So in a fashion, there is nothing outside of our baby universe and there is everything outside of our baby universe. …

Look take your emotional pretense off of the topic. Children are great and CAN be a blessing. The world has too many people and they are killing the planet. So, if you unequivocally state that all babies are a miracle then you have some issues. If you are poor or live in a poor nation, then you just had a…

agreed she sounded super entitled... and if that is what they are asking before they even start the job... that is a red flag indeed. I don't blame her for being ballsy but that email was just ballsy for anybody.

This right here!

WHERE THE FUCK IS PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY ANYMORE? What you do is on you... what a person wears, says, thinks, etc. is never a reason to violate their space or their consent. Keep your hands to yourself is the first fucking lesson we all learn when dealing with others. I don't care how she dressed, how drunk she…

and I am sorry our justice system failed you.

I just don't understand... Why is fashion cultural and face painting a social snub? We are all individuals and generalizing people into groups is something we are supposed to rally against. Well, why is it then when someone wears a garment from Japan, or China, or parts of Africa, etc. but they are not from that…

Hey I'm from Amarillo and I lived on the family ranch most of my childhood. These snakes aren't a damn problem, if you know the land and the animals... They rattle to get you to go away. Yes, you can get caught off guard. I don't have a special place in my heart, but I don't kill for killing's sake. We share the…

you date Jack Sparrow don't you... lol.

I agree with your last paragraph... however, how much societal restriction can we put in place for those that abuse their liberty?... Yes, as a society we should help those people (thus society), but denying personal liberty because what a person does to themselves seems antithetical to a rational, free electorate.…

I didnt say definition did I? One of the most basic assumptions for a democratic system is that the citizen posseses reason or else why the fuck would you create a system of citizen voters... if they have limited faculties they wouldn't vote nor would their voice be part of legitimacy in rulership.... someone needs to…

Everything in life is a choice... and consequences are the result. If you live in a Democracy where the assumption must be that citizens possess reason, then you must let them do what they will... If they behave incorrectly, then steps must be taken... This is called the real world. If you assume that people cannot…
