"Sure, anything to help." Perhaps a bit optimistic of how a conversation might go, but we can use most any "I'm tired today" exchange as a way to bring up poor lighting... and without having to mention stars or dark skies too (so we don't sound like it's a personal agenda). ...
Just in case you don’t remember Mao didn’t take power until 1949. I know you wingers don’t want to give that revisionist meme up but those are the facts. Most on the left, as you probably know but call them communists anyway, argue for a mixed economy because that is what work...
for an interesting discussion of the social processes involved in the creation and growth of such epidemics. The processes described are very relevant to the global warming meme.
Easily the most divisive element ofSt. Anger's sound was Ulrich's hollow, ringing snare drum, which has been compared endlessly (and charitably) to the sound of a trash can lid. Rather than some elaborate ploy to mess with listeners' heads and reinvent the concept of metal drumming, Ulrich...
Now there is no longer an apparent collision—all they had to do was prohibit themselves from using the wordsound. If “acoustic vibrations” came into dispute, we would just play Taboo again and say “pressure waves in a material medium”; if necessary we would play Taboo again on the wo...

When they enter the exam room, the baby tells the doctor she's "not well," and just to emphasize that fact, they overlay the Sad Trumpet Sound Effect™ over her walking. Dear reader, this is when I, emotionally, lost it. I wasn't sure I could carry on from this point, but beca...
Barry: "A tree falling in a deserted forest does not make a sound." Clearly, since one says "sound" and one says "not sound", we must have a contradiction, right? But suppose that they both dereference their pointers before speaking: ...
“natural selection” might sound like a sports team to cheer for. To a biologist, plausibly arguing that an organism was intelligently designed would require lying about almost every facet of the organism. To plausibly argue that “humans” were intelligently designed, you’d have to lie about...
Perhaps the most communicable libertarian meme-- and one of the most mischievous-- is the attempt to paint taxation as theft. First, it'sdishonest. Most libertarians theoretically accept government for defense and law enforcement. (There are some absolutists who don't even believe in national ...
