- 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 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

Didn’t it used to be that at the grocery store, if an item is advertised on the shelf for a different price than what it scans for, they give you something like half the difference? But there’s no code of ethics like that on the interweb.
