  1. Reminds me of the 70's when someone said a computer is a glorified calculator. AI to me is a glorified search engine.
  2. Apparently, an anti-knock agent is a must and only a suitable direct substitute will do.
  3. Are you sure it's anaerobic in the space above the must?
  4. It seems it might be aerobic acetobacter spp. 'Aerobic' is the clue to the solution.

    'Cunt' rhymes with 'blunt', and that's Ireland.

    An Irish welcome for Trump.
  7. Interesting how many people are opting out of using their brains.
  8. Trump actually did this in the Oval Office. When someone fell ill behind him and everyone was attending to the chap, Trump just looked straight ahead with a face of willful, care-free ignorance.
  9. It has some experts showing how LG tv's collect information, analyse and identify the household for selling to advertisers. Basically, peoples data is a free for all. Ethics be damned.
  10. Yep. '74-'77. Been on repeat quite a few times iirc.
  11. Took the wife out for dinner last night. All she kept saying was she wanted to pay for it for a change. I said, 'don't be silly, we're halfway down the street, just keep running.'
  12. It's what happens when someone joins the 'Leopards Eating Faces Party': they eat faces. It's in the name, but people still join.

    Also called Cobra Chickens.
  14. What is 'heritage' when societies are a kaleidoscope of constant change. Modern societies are not like the much slower changing societies pre-industrial revolution.
  15. Like poison arrow frogs then. It's what they eat.
  16. Wouldn't want to die with your boots off. How embarrassing.
  17. Nothing and nowhere stays the same. We see what we want to see and ignore the rest.
  18. TIL never to squat with your spurs on.
  19. Whether the west admits it or not, it is culpable in the destinations many immigrants take. They are going where the resources are, that have been systematically removed from those immigrants countries over the last hundreds of years. Climate change in the equatorial poorer countries will only exacerbate that mass transit over the coming decades. As far as I'm concerned, the idea of national identity only exists ephemerally in any country's history... basically, only in the minds of the extant generations, and then it changes with the next. The concept of 'Britishness' of my grandparents generation (Post-WW1 to WW2) is not the same as mine.
  20. Deluded subject. If anything, it just shows how prevalent racism is. Monocultures don't survive. Looking at you Israel.
  21. Facts never change e.g. velocity of light is fixed in a vacuum. GR is a construct derived from facts, but as more facts emerge ,or are seen in a new light, it's description of that part of nature reduces in scope. In that sense, theories always seem to be contemporaneous in terms of their validity reflecting nature. I find 'truths' to be more tied to human experience than as scientifically objective information.
  22. Facts are temporally permanent (always reflect reality), but truths are contemporaneous (correct at the time). As in science, the facts don't change, but the models (truths) can. Facts exist independent of an observer, but truths are human constructs.
  23. What an oxymoronic subject title.
