| ^^^ But he's using IVF which makes me wonder now whether he actually has ever had sex? I think normally, they don't like to do IVF unless there's an actual problem. However, if you've go the cash, there are probably doctors that aren't going to expect that you're trying it the old fashioned way or ... |

Or, when comparing the impact that various vehicles have. Do you mean descriptive statistics? sure historians do that all the time. ... |

| That's not science though. That's what historians do. Part of why science is the sort of mess it is now is that things that either aren't science have been allowed to pretend to be or things like psychology have been allowed to have super low standards. Historians generally don't do statistical ana... |

I've heard Andor is good, it's a shame that so much of the rest of the recent Star Wars stuff has been crap or narrowly targeted at people that obsess over lore. I rather liked Obi Wan Keno... |

| Humans, eh? Victims of our own success. We used to have to exercise to get food. Now we don't have to, so we don't bother. Short-term result, comfort. Long-term result doesn't bear thinking about. I had access to an exercise bike once, and I used to pedal very fast for about 5 minutes. Couldn't bea... |

There's simply no excuse for doing all this theorizing on paper and then never bothering to go out and actually conduct the appropriate experiments to confirm or disprove the... |

String theory and any physics that doesn't bother to confirm findings experimentally or is built from untested theories. A good chunk of what gets called science lately is never replicated.

| As long as people think that it's OK to call some people's ND "mild" it's going to be OK to use the term neurospicy. And really, there's enough language policing in general, we really don't need to add that burden to people that are already having to spend extra effort on communication. |

| Trump lives and breathes by means of constant praise and flattery. Yes, also I think we're at a point where there isn't generally that much difference between the language policing on the left and the right, it's mostly the specifics. Even before Trump, it could be hard to find people on the right ... |
