What does it excrete? I’m curious.

I’ve seen both. Making science accessible is always a good thing. He also has moments where he’ll aggressively debate someone over the Amazon river basin or ancient civilizations when it’s apparent he’s out of his element.

In fairness, he actually knows a lot about astrophysics. The problem is that he likes to pontificate on all things science as if he’s degreed in every field.

As a person who quit smoking before vaping was created, I wholeheartedly support anyone who vapes as a way to get off cigarettes. Those things’ll kill ya.

I’d still ask follow-up questions. Was it in the public or private sector? What branch or industry? Were you in a leadership role, part of a team, or working as an individual contributor? What skills did you develop during that employment that would be beneficial to your employment in this role?
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 week ago:
You’d still be asked to provide start and end dates and place of employment if your work was confidential. If the NDA prohibits you from disclosing your employment entirely, it will typically include a restriction against disclosing the existence of the NDA itself.

FMLA is always a safe bet. Only one available to care for a dying family member buys sympathy and is an area they can’t legally ask any follow-up questions.

Legitimate question here. What’s stopping researchers from creating their own federated publishing system for academic journals?

Jesus hadn’t been created yet. God is eternal, but Jesus was God made mortal.

Wrong dude. That was Abraham in Genesis.

It’s for this reason I am certain that the most intelligent people are not members of Mensa.

Possibly. They also may have started on a smaller sweet potato.

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but black people comprised a sizable amount of the population of Mississippi, predating the Civil War and through mid-20th century, as it’s a large cotton plantation state.

Let it be someone else’s carpet. Or in this case, driveway.

You can write code like this by stretching a fat rubber band around a ruler, then writing on it. It’s only legible when stretched.

See that doesn’t bother me as much. I’m a Boy Scout. Bugs and soil get in your food. So be it. I’m not ok with machine-milking cows until their udders begin to repeatedly blister and pop onto the milk.

You should tell this guy.

Mostly as a show of strength and territorial control. Nothing unexpected. It’s not as nuanced as their pheromone communication.

We’ll have more accurate clones of more recently extinct species. DNA just doesn’t last that long.
