    Billy Graham

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. On the one hand you have a self-described conspiracy theorist YouTube video that claims, with absolutely nothing to back him except he said so, that Inca's shouldn't have been capable of building what they built. An example of this nonsense, was his...

    Since I and pretty much everyone who isn't a fundy could give fuck all what you think about their or anyone else's sexual orientation, you again sound like kid lost on the 1990's middle school playground. If you want to talk physics, I'm happy to indulge that given that you know the first thing...

    Stephen Hawking is dead ...

    I believe "thinking" is highly overrated in fhl's world. Much better to run around the playground yelling "Fag!", so insulting.

    Billy Graham

    If you could point out one of those things, and the verse in Genesis you're referring to, then I'd be happy to have a conversation about it. One of the first pushes for 15 year old me to start asking questions was this kind of amorphis claim that you just made, which is rife amongst the...

    Billy Graham

    If you think the general assholery that you display on a daily basis here is anything that your Jesus would be proud of.... then a. it means that like many in your religion it means you're actually pretty unfamiliar with what's written in your holy book and b. you must be confused and think that...

    Billy Graham

    I see Jesus everywhere in your responses, he must be so proud of the witness you're providing. WWJD? Certainly not behave in the manner you are.

    Stephen Hawking is dead ...

    So eloquent too, I'm sure this blinding logic is frequently effective, at least if your intended effect is to entertain! Hey, happens to the best of us, I get Andrew Lloyd Webber and Frank Lloyd Wright confused all the time. Difference is if someone points it out I have the self awareness to be...

    And we double down on stupid in 3, 2, 1 So predictable, and so unhinged.

    Stephen Hawking is dead ...

    Actually I figured out exactly what was happening inside @fhl's limited little brain and it's hilarious. There's a prominent evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins who is famous for refuting theism. One of the arguments he and others who try to reason with religious fundamentalists use is...

    Theranos - fraud

    Yeah, turns out direct democracy has some unintended consequences. Most of them quirky but Prop 13 has probably caused the most serious real problems. You definitely don't want to have to do the cross-country thing, I'm on the East Coast for the same reason you are. The flight's weren't that...

    Theranos - fraud

    I haven't lived in NYC so not really qualified to comment on the comparison, but when did that ever stop anyone on ET:D The ethnic food, especially Asian and Latin American, is really good. When I lived there I was either on a military salary or a student, so we tended to hole in the wall spots...

    Stephen Hawking is dead ...

    Oh for fucks sake! This anti-science anti-education craziness is just idiotic. The guy is universally recognized by other physicists as both a great physicist and one with the rare ability to make high level physics accessible to your average intellectually curious individual. Even you could...

    The Dunning Kruger effect is strong in this one!

    Theranos - fraud

    If you want to go to one of the great schools there or want to start a company, the ecosystem and resources are unbeatable, so for that reason alone it's often worth it. Great food, especially ethnic food. I could run or play tennis in shorts and a t-shirt pretty much year round, it doesn't rain...

    I know you can't believe it until you live there, take a gander on Zillow for Palo Alto. Here's a random selection for you, 2100' rancher from the 70s, dated and a bit ugly, $2.9M (https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/878-Miranda-Green-St-Palo-Alto-CA-94306/19524026_zpid/). And that's not out of...

    Theranos - fraud

    Actually her dad was civil service at USAID and her mom was a staffer in DC specializing in defense and foreign policy. Neither of those pay particularly well and aren't particularly amenable positions to become politically connected at a high level, especially in the VC world, although I know...

    Theranos - fraud

    That may be the case for exactly the reason you articulated, i.e. your CEO is taking on credit card debt to pay their kids Stanford tuition and it's distracting them from running a billion dollar company or incenting them to push for a suboptimal early sale, but it's pretty rare. More common to...

    You can bet that last round put a claim on a huge percentage of the liquidation proceeds, it was basically DIP financing.
