Well they have a point, it’s a bit explicit for 7th-8th graders. Oh wait, this is college kids?

wow, I’ve never wanted to slap anyone more than this.
Grew up 1 mile from this bridge. Used to happen every few years. now, I believe, this is the 15th strike in past 3 years. More sign up now than when I was a kid. People gotten stupider? That much more distracted driving? Town official don’t know what the hell else to do, there are a number of signs in each direction,…
OK, the analogy is very simple, what if her religion said marriage between whites and blacks was no go? Or between Christians and non-Christians? Or people with redhair? If she refused to issue marriage certificates in those cases, she’d be fired immediately, even though it is “infringing her religious freedom.” THIS…
I hate to say, but I think I have some understanding of the woman who kept asking “is it a sandwich.” I’ve found a lot of places have a steak sandwich, which is basically a hunk of steak, served over a roll or texas toast, or some such thing. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not a sandwich if you can’t pick it up and eat…
sorry, I brand you an SP, and must disconnect.
and don’t even get me started on hornets. They’re even worse. We should send them back where they came from and seal the border.
I agree. Fuck wasps. they suck
Not sure what to say about this. As other’s mentioned below, denial and cognitive dissonance are human defense mechanisms. I really don’t see how what his spouse says, matters much in the big scheme of things. All of us have come to our own conclusion based on the evidence, and what his spouse of 50 years publically…
This is really too bad. Trump needed to spread out the crazy a little bit, not dump it all out at once. If he could given smaller dollops of crazy over a longer period of time, he could have continued to be a “serious” candidate for the GOP and smelled up the whole group. Now, I don’t see his campaign making it to the…
I’ve been giving vaccines for 20 years, and I still haven’t found out where to apply for these big pharma and government kickbacks. I want to get on this gravy train! Where do I apply?
Was hoping Roberts was going to cross and make it 6-3 (which given the crazy 3, is basically a unanimous decision nowadays). Too bad it was 5-4 giving the anti’s hope for repeal (if they get a more conservative court than this one, which is already the most conservative court in at least 60 years). Still obviously…
Other interesting point is basically everyone in the family died of cancer, almost certainly due to their experimentation with radioactive elements. Many of her letters and lab notes are still too radioactive to be handled.
Obviously great news. The only “problem” with Marie Curie is she is very often the only female scientist that anyone can name. I would bet if people were asked to name 2 female scientists besides Madame Curie, 95% couldn’t do it.
Not that I have ever read in humans. For animals (or humans) who sleep outdoors, one could imagine the increase light might might effect sleep, but modern humans are more or less completely divorced from the effect of light in the night sky
I think you have a point about the inaccurate identification of a full moon. when strange behavior is going on, people will say it’s a full moon if a few days before or after the actual full moon. When you do that, you are basically covering a 1/4 of the month as “during the full moon”
I call bullshit on that. We always remember incidents that fit our preconceived notions, and forget about all the incidents that don’t. If there truly was more “general nuts energy” we should see that reflected at least slightly in some type of objective thing we can measure. However look at the list of things that…
super easy study to do, and has been done numerous times. Results are always the same, no difference. once again, recall bias is huge. You remember the superbusy full moon day, but forget the nonbusy full moons, and the busy days that aren’t associated with full moons. also, people often “stretch” the full moon period…
only problem is this has been studied numerous times and the results are clear, no increases in arrests, admissions to er’s or psych units, or childbirth. Perfect example of recall bias. People remember the crazy night that was within a few days of the full moon, and forget the surrounding 3-4 days that were average…
