Fighter pilots pull funny faces
One of those things that suck, cos they bust their GUTS getting to this point - and if they are just not physiologically inclined to take the G's then they have to leave.
How do you keep the ISS stable in orbit?
I saw him thinking about the question, pausing, then looking defeated and simply saying "...Fuck." as the ISS started to gyrate at increasingly impossible magnitudes.
Effect of "Coke" on sperm motility
WIKI: Motility is a biological term which refers to the ability to move spontaneously and actively, consuming energy in the process.
How could creationism not be dishonest?
This imho is the most compelling, least opinionated, and authoritative argument: Which I will soon drop on my wonderful, but creationist housemate.

The self immolation of a Buddhist Monk
Are people so anesthetized to suffering that they can't comprehend it without a score to directs their emotions?
Yeesh. Makes me angry.
Butterfly tries to fly in space - fails
FAIL EXPERIMENT!
A butterfly on the surface in a box that big will do the SAME DAMN THING.
Give it room, then say it screws up.
Exactly what I thought.

Terrifying Football Stadium Fire
I wonder if his clothes where just so hot they "reached flashpoint" - or maybe he was hit with something like burning plastic. Whatever happened it looks like he, and the others around him were confused by the heat and smoke.
Regardless it looked like his jacket was made from that sweet 80s polyester all right
Climate Change - Those Hacked E-mails
... they were wiling to sell their scientific integrity, and the credibility of the entire scientific community to do it.
Hang on - if individuals fudged their numbers, its an indictment of that individual.

I'm a statistician. I see this kind of crap every day, and it gives my profession a bad name.
I'll tell you what makes statisticians look bad: Statistics
So often there IS a story in the data, but all data is different. I can understand data that has little "statistical precedent" must take time to learn what models/techniques work well. And when the modus operandi HAS to be experimentation - Im sure it looks awkward, error-prone, and ugly when viewed through the cherry-picked lense of a couple of emails.
Would this be a sensible observation? Or do you think its simply endemic fraudulence?
>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
I've seen some of the AGW numbers. The original data is never in the dataset. It's always the 'weighted' data, which is a big red flag to me.
It seems this red flag makes you basically indifferent to any other argument, and I'd like to have a look.
Do you mind linking the numbers, with a few words of summary?
>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
If a source doesn't trust handing out their raw data, then it usually means they don't want you to see it because it was flawed data to start with, or they altered it so radically with their 'models' that it might as well be gibberish. The AGW movement has been trying very hard to make insignificant data 'meaningful' for years. That much was always blatantly obvious. The leaks merely prove that their methodology is flawed, and therefore their conclusions are bunk.
Ok so this is obviously your opinion before and after these emails. Why did you have this opinion before?

Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2
EVE Online - Dominion fleet battle trailer
For a non-player struggling very hard to understand exactly what was happening - the audio distortion was a bit much.
I saw the "ruski's" disregard the one fleet's request to help support and warp after a retreating fleet. I THINK those ruskies got smashed by some capital ships that warped in, then it got a bit hazy.
Then a stealth ruski radio'd in the position of another fleet - which at the very end looked like it was getting smashed.
The Knife - Heartbeats
My friend told me I would like the original (this) version better than the Gonzalez one (which I loved), but I didnt believe her.

When no one's looking: the lives of runaway teens
By the 4th day I was just lying on my bed starving and exhausted - and utterly demotivated. I had about $2 in change handy, and decided I wanted to walk to the shops to buy something - but I couldnt be stuffed because I felt so ratshit.
Going a week without food would be ROUGH. You'd feel shakey whenever you would stand, let along walking somewhere.
