I’m lost for words at the gaul of this!
It’s the French’s fault?

Except money.
- Comment on The Periodic Table according to astronomers 2 weeks ago:
Physicists are notorious for approximating, and astronomers are even worse. But there are some subfields where they care about being more precise, and you maybe break the product table into a handful of elements plus alphas. And there’s that one out two people getting exquisite spectral resolution and signal-to-noise on a few stars and measuring the abundance of Technetium or whatever.

That can’t be safe.
- Comment on It's been a feature of Australia's elections since federation. Albanese supports a change 1 month ago:
Because the date of the election is known in the US, the entire 18 months leading up to the election is all about the election. You don’t want the political exhaustion that goes with that.
- Comment on Feeble defence from ABC confirms abject failure to report Labor accurately 1 month ago:
But it sounds like, as the Democrats in America, they have trouble bringing attention to their successes?

This guy datas.
- Comment on Back to the grind. 1 month ago:
Sorry, I maintain that processing data that is full of (known) systematic problems or data that is known to be insufficiently sensitive to detect the goal is a drain on limited resources.

No data is better than bad data.

- Comment on What is your favorite Robin Williams role? 1 month ago:
Being a cartoon freed him from any physical constraints and allowed him to go wild.
- Comment on Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏 1 month ago:
Under Christianity, I think children were instructed to hold their hands together in order to discourage fidgeting. I’m not aware of any Biblical reason to clasp hands. In fact, I think in the Old Testament hands were often raised in prayer.
- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 2 months ago:
“Love” in the scriptures is typically a verb, e.g., “God so loved the world…” It describes an action that God does, not a feeling. God’s love is his acting in a loving way towards undeserving people.
- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 2 months ago:
Christian theologians believe in the impassibility of God, which means that God does not have emotions as humans do. Then biblical texts where emotions are attributed to God are explained as anthropomorphism - God using human language to communicate his nature and actions.

Mostly both
- Comment on How much can we hope is being put in place behind the scenes at the US federal level to mitigate the damage Trump will do? Can any of it be effective? 2 months ago:
Surely any roadblocks you put in place quickly by one party in power can be removed quickly by the other party in power. Again, I think what’s going to matter is those few people in the administration with standards and allegiance to the country over party, and loud outcries from the people when they touch something important.
- Comment on Can someone explain the framework of the current British... idk is empire the correct term? 2 months ago:
The British Empire was always a result of the British monarch ruling India, making the British monarch a King/Queen over other kings. When India gained independence from the British monarch after WW2, Britain could no longer claim to be an empire.

And “we need to fix this” usually means “someone else needs to fix this”.
- Comment on The Magic Words 3 months ago:
When scientists want to publish their results, the paper first goes to one or more referees (usually anonymous), who advise the editor about the quality of the paper. It is common for referees to ask why the original author(s) did not consider a particular question as part of their work. The reply in the cartoon is commonly used by the author to defuse that question, essentially saying we didn’t consider that question because it’s too much work, and just publish what I’ve done already, dammit.
