  1. She makes listening really hard work, too.

  2. "Evan Andersen"? Is that not a joke name - a play on "even-handed"? Does Evan even exist? Does he have an office? Does he have a licence to practice law? Or is he Trevor's alter-ego?

  3. Yes, that was my thought , too. I wonder how many circuits a driver can do before he starts hallucinating - or has a seizure.

  5. Brunel tried something like this but his seals were made of leather and the rats kept chewing on them.

  7. "The first combat use of Patriot occurred January 18, 1991 when it engaged what was later found to be a computer glitch." WikiP - Patriot.

  8. There's a free book on Project Gutenberg called "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions" by Charles Mackay. It was first published in 1841, and runs to three volumes.

  10. There's an Irish comedian, who tells a story of when he was sitting on the toilet, and his knee fell off.

  11. No it isn't. Peer-review is little more than a spell-check. Trying to prove a claim false is the very method of science. The "gold standard" of science is replication.

  12. Thermal expansion of metal is how a mercury thermometer works!

  13. Obtaining money by deception IS illegal - it's called fraud.

  14. They failed to explain how they rose above the evolution that made us resistant to change. I can see that massive flaw (one of many) without any qualifications.

  17.  @acrazedtanker1550  You just pulled a bait and switch. A lack of clean water is not a lack of water.

  20. As a rough guide, wind strts pushing you around at 30 mph, and is impossible to stay on your feet in at 70mph.

  21. How about this? Take a plastic coffee cup and spray liquid clay on it, and then heat it. Obviously the plastic will shrink and destroy the shape, but I'm sure with $1 million in research, we can overcome that.

  25. A capacitor is not a battery. A capacitor can charge - and discharge - a million times a second - continuously, for years!

  35. We are not born equal in altitude tolerance; there are highlanders and lowlanders. If you look at the European kingdoms, they are large lowland nations and small highland nations. This is because lowlanders can't fight in the highlands, and highlanders are outnumbered (but formidable) on the lowlands.

  37. It's his business model; 1) attack TF, 2) get lots of attention, 3) profit.

  38. The Earth has gravity. Without that, the air would fly away,as would the water.

  40. The Luddites were craftsmen - weavers, whose livelihoods were threatened by mass production. For the vast majority of people, mass production meant affordable clothing. Those two dumbasses completely missed the point of that bit of history. Whose livelihood is threatened by SpaceX? Anyone's?

  42. 1844 Brunel's Atmospheric System to power trains. "At intervals of about three miles along the line were erected stationary engines, working large air-pumps, by means of which air could be exhausted from the tube, and a partial vacuum created within it. A close-fitting piston was placed in one end of the tube, and the air being exhausted from it, the pressure of the external air on the surface of the piston which was towards the open end of the tube forced the piston through the tube towards the end where the air-pumps were working; so that if the piston were connected with a carriage running on the rails, it would draw the carriage with it. "

  46. @Biology Discussions Do you understand that statistics are merely a description of data; that maths is an attempt to model reality?

  47. @Biology Discussions You seem to want to move the conversation away from the philosophy and method of science. I will not follow you.

  48.  @Tuck-Shop  There's two issues here, falsification and peer review. The original comment was pro falsification (but for the wrong reason - "bias").My reply was pro falsification (no reason given). The original comment thinks falsification is done in peer-review - I disagree. I'm fine with you calling me and OP "peers" and yes, I "reviewed" his comment, but it was already published, so my "review" had no effect.

  50.  @majestic-domination  How did they escape the evolution that allegedly makes us resistant to change, if not by Special Creation?
