This is still blowing my mind. OP Marf is in Oakland. I don't remember a time past 1985 when shooting off a full barrage of fireworks was socially acceptable in not-exactly-known-for-wildfires Atlanta. A roman candle or a bundle of bottle rockets was a trashy treat. Am I forgetting something?

I don't exactly know what is going on with the Tories but it seems like they're getting everything they worked for, so that's nice for them

This was ... vivid. End of thread:
So, anyway, whenever you read "some scientists think", think about me and recalibrate the lower end of your expectations accordingly.

Some of us turned ourselves inside out to try to warn elected Dems about this and got blown off and called names like "Blue Anon" by Very Important People for our pains. And this is what you reap when you sow hubris.
It is enormously frustrating to know, as an evolutionary biologist with experience from the trenches of the creationist wars on science, that nobody on Biden’s team nor CNN’s seem to be aware of the Gish Gallop, 30y after Eugenie Scott described it and years of Trump deploying it!

Guys. I am not a quant person but even I know that pushing a sub sample of a larger phone poll from early in June with a 0.8% response rate, where no one who ignores unlabeled numbers on their cellphone responded, tells you nothing about the electorate. Stop letting bad polls drive your politics.

Hey caretakers/adult children: TIL that shingles can be triggered by an injury. I've never heard this mentioned by anyone. It was documented in JAMA as far back as 1947. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...

During the fridge incident, she'd identified that it has some emotive connection to "going [up] to heaven": the further boundary probing indicates that in Baltimore, the home is ensouled and swappable/replaceable parts of the home must be honored on their reaching end of life.

My hobby: Writing long explanations to wilfully ignorant British redditors setting up expensive pottery studios, then deleting the drafts.because if someone's stupid enough to put a kiln atop a pile of lumber, a narrow remonstration will only enable them to do something even weirder.

"What has voting ever done for me?" I literally saw someone ask this morning and that's what set me off before tea. I don't know but if school is still free in your town and the roads mostly work then probably something. Look at the difference right now between Iowa and Minnesota.

Today I tried to attend a lunch and learn about caregiver stress. I did not get to do this thing. Three guesses why, and the last two don't count.

we're 20 minutes into a debate featuring a guy who was convicted of 30 felony counts a few weeks ago and CNN started off with a question about the national debt and no question yet about the felon who tried to overthrow the government

with all of this you would think we would have been better prepared to grow up and realize no one has any idea what they are doing either

The first time you see a story about a product gaining popularity, you think "okay." The tenth or fifteenth time you see the same claim in a week, it feels a touch less plausible.
