If the picture of the bottle in the Bloomberg photo is the actual bottle before sampling, it definitely won't be drinkable. But surely they extracted some with a hypo before completing the sale. The bottle is most definitely not full. Either wine is missing or else air has gotten into the...

That is way I was tempted to say what I will not say.

This has nothing to do with checking IDs. This has to do with intentional disenfranchisement of a specific classification of Americans in one particular State, viz. those without street addresses in North Dakota. I am a native North Dakotan. It makes me want to say' "fuck the Supreme Court,"...

You probably experienced a direct strike to the line, as you say. There is hardly anything practical in terms of cost that can protect against direct strikes. Unknown to me, squirrels chewed my main electrical ground at the power line into my house almost in two. I lost it completely at 11 pm...

Very well said!

I have to disagree. In terms of scope and harm done, the United States certainly has been by far the biggest State sponsor of terrorism in the world. This depends of course on your definition of terrorism. I define it this way: "the threat, or use, of violence and intimidation, especially...

"Mark Brown," such a nice name for a Russian hacker to use.

My own view is that this AMS statement is likely wrong in several respects. It is most vulnerable on the issue of the dependent variable. It seems to me that much of the more recent research is coming down on the side of temperature being the independent variable, not CO2. CO2 and Temperature...

Thank you. That makes good sense! That would definitely be the best way to make the comparison across national boundaries, even though the results wouldn't necessarily accurately reflect the price inflation consumers within a country experienced.

Because I assumed you are smart. But I erred. Sorry.

Indeed, those that shorted bonds in 2008 and have been patiently waiting a decade for them to go down are going to finely get to say, "see, I told you so."

You wouldn't want zero inflation of course. Inflation below 3 % is fine indefinitely. But how comparable are the figures among different countries. I am not seeing any estimates of error given with the figures. I accept that 200000 % is greater than 2.8 % but is 3.2 % statistically any...

This may be easier to read than the sideways version. :D Note the lack of any direct reference to the Hansen hypothesis or CO2 as the cause. Most people will assume that those responding that global warming is happening and the cause is mostly human are accepting that the Hansen Hypothesis is...

The 2014 poll published in the American Meteorological Society (It's in the Bulletin rather than the regular Journal). It's available free.

Give up cigarettes. The statistics are compelling if you go to a pack a day or more. And think of the money you 'll save! At any age give them up. But nicotine is not all bad. What is bad is sucking all that crap into your lungs. anything you suck into your lungs that contains fine...

I am a scientist. I made my living in science. When ~50% of atmospheric physicists say they science is wrong you would be well advised to pay attention .

What you are going to discover is that the climate is completely insensitive to any CO2 emission reductions. The climate is changing in some parts of the Earth more rapidly than in others, as it has always done. That said, I am an advocate for CO2 emission reduction by developing less CO2...

Let me apologize. I just realized that my response above was very poorly edited and impossible to read. I have posted an edited version below. This is is common wisdom. You are certainly not alone in thinking this. In fact the majority think this way. It is wrong however. But that is not to...

This is common wisdom. You are certainly not alone in thinking this. In fact the majority think this way. It is wrong however. But that is not to say that debt does not matter; it does matter! But the way of thinking about it is nowadays entirely wrong, whereas in the past it was not wrong...

We may fix some problems, but we can't fix the Trump problem until we get rid of him. Trump is reminiscent of both Berlesconi* (Trump is worse) and Ecuador's president for a few months, Bucaram*, (Trump is not quite so bad). Both Berlesconi and Bucaram were national embarrassments, as Trump...
