Oh, my mistake. There is no data. When the article goes on and on about the data, the data referred to here,
To investigate, Faherty got in touch with David Nesvorny, an institute scientist with the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and the Oort Cloud expert who had provided scientific data for the scene.
I should have realized there was no data.
Yeah. A pattern in the data could just be a relic of the way the data has been collected or the limited time we have been collecting it. I remember an Anton Petrov video where he actually pointed to a swirl or mass of plotted data points in a representation of the solar system and cautioned against drawing conclusions for this very reason. Many of these objects are dim, very far out, and slow moving, while some of our best instruments for studying them are young. I'd wait for more data.
I realise that many people, on reading that first sentence, will suspect I’ve finally flipped. Where, pray, are those rolling sand dunes or sere stony wastes? But there are many kinds of desert, and not all of them are dry.
No, being dry is really what makes a desert. Deserts can be hot, cold, even seasonally wet, but overall they must have low yearly precipitation.
In fact, those spreading across Britain are clustered in the wettest places.
Obviously, no.
Yet they harbour fewer species than some dry deserts do, and are just as hostile to humans.
Few species and hostile, sure, but these are not defining attributes of desert.
Another useful term is terrestrial dead zones.
Well, it is closer to accuracy.
This twat is using desert figuratively in an article on ecology while chastising readers for thinking that deserts are dry.
Idiot
Or, you're holding a nozzle that sprays liquid. Just douse the speaker in gasoline.
Expanding the house is what I've long wanted. People like to argue for ridding us of first past the post voting and, yes, that would be awesome, but this is comparatively easy. This is within our grasp. This would change both how the legislature works and how the president is chosen.
Not only would it make the government more responsive to the people, it would, I would argue, dilute the power of individual legislators (in the house anyway) to the extent that lobbying (bribery) would be either less impactful or more expensive.
Picture matches the tone of the hiring perfectly. Let him keep the job. I want to see how this plays out.
The lyrics are those of Hound Dog, which I will not utter here
Didn't know the back story, thanks! I remember picking these up from time to time when I was learning to program.
You've got to be kidding! Every morning, as soon as the sun even gets close to coming over the horizon, it seems every dinosaur in the neighborhood starts tweeting, or screeching, or cawing. Don't believe for a second that I haven't thought about this and been grateful that none of the toothed ones made it. I wouldn't be able to take the din.
Isn't that just another way of saying everything that exists?
