“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people”

That confused me as well, but she has an obvious jealously complex with Arya (sees her as a rival, and believes she isn’t worthy). That’s why she stabbed her and showed her true face, she wanted Arya to know that she had been killed by her.

Do you have an opinion on the science though? It would be more helpful to provide links to papers or other sources that provide counterpoints. Or are you complaining because this same article was posted elsewhere or here at some earlier date?

I’m not sure what you mean. Computer modeling is a powerful technique for researching many scientific problems. It is not meant to replace physical evidence in most cases, but to work in concert with experimental data to better understand the behavior of the system of interest. I would be surprised to see researchers…

I think it is possible for a machine to be self-aware. Neurons are definitely not self aware, yet when you string enough of them together in the right way you get self-awareness. Of course NAND gates and neurons are different, but the example of neurons demonstrates how the action of many components which are not self…

Here’s an article I found on the subject that goes into greater depth on the flaws of hair analysis.

I would be shocked too if any pope had such an understanding of omnipotence. The quotes though are not from the pope, but from Ken Ham. This guy exemplifies the creationist mindset, and if you spend any time at all reading about his ideas it quickly becomes clear that contradiction is not something that concerns him…

"The God of Scripture who can do anything" vs "And most importantly, God does not change." From the quote, The God of Scripture can do anything, this includes the impossible. For example, changing God's immutable characteristics. Hence the contradiction. Note the first statement is actually contradictory on its own…

Damn, and I thought spinning disk confocal microscopy was cool. This stuff is just mind-blowing.

Well what would happen if you removed the walls? The droplet would move directly toward the chemo-attractant source. This is because you would have a nice circular gradient of concentration, much like the circular gradient of a magnetic field in a flat plane. But that's as far as the analogy extends, as diffusion…

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to have a point, that's the point.

I don't think you are right at all. Look up the firebombing of Dresden. It was at least as horrible as Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Here's a quote from a survivor from the Wikipedia page.

No it doesn't. Taken literally it states that on "Holiday 2015" Rise of the Tomb Raider will be released as an exclusive on Xbox. That's very clear. Does that mean it will be a permanent exclusive? There is no indication of that. He asked a direct question, and they came up with an answer that did not address his…

Great, I'd love to hear what you think about it. It's a long series, but well worth the time put in, at least in my opinion. Just so you know the dub is reasonably good so I would recommend trying it out.

You want some thematically deep stuff huh? Try Urasawa's "Monster" http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/a…

Johan is pleased. Seriously though, I can't believe I had to scroll through so many comments before finding a Urasawa's "Monster" recommendation.

Not all anime consists of "sexualized children in borderline prurient situations." That's a pretty specific subset of anime fandom which the majority of anime fans are not included in.

I do not think this is true. A quick counter example is impulse control in dogs, http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtu…. Perhaps you can phrase what you mean in a manner that is more convincing? I am interested in a general way in what distinguishes humans from animals. We like to say that we are unique because we…

Censorship: "the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others." (ACLU)

Wow! That's really cool. I want one (though perhaps I wouldn't give this to my younger self, it's still super awesome, science kits these days are so tame).
