[I'm a loser baby...]

Take a raincheck. As a friend.

 

[Bandwagon]

True. There was so much sand we couldn't actually get the scales in there. But we could've shot Lawrence of Arabia a dozen times.

Hurr Durr

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Hurr Durr

You know it. You should time out.

 

[Bandwagon]

Take a raincheck. As a friend.

Why?

You're on fire here mate.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Why?

You're on fire here mate.

You've arced up about videos you haven't watched and have no idea what they're about but used the term of the day for your religion to defend. I mean c'mon, a grown man calling people cookers? If you don't understand how cult like that is yet you've got a long way to go. Which you obviously do.

Nice rant, but you can do better mate

I believe in you!

It hit the mark. How old are you allowed to be and can still call people cookers? It's f**king childish and you want the high ground? Jesus....oh I mean Jebus... Sorry I have a hard time taking taking that seriously.

This seems like another realistic scientist with some courage. Her story is interesting.

Climate heretic: Judith Curry turns on her colleagues - Nature

A feature from Scientific American.

www.nature.com

Read the article. A few things:

* She seems genuinely interested in advancing the science and dealing with uncertainty in better ways.

* Her criticisms of the IPCC are harsh but fair and measured. Her point about groupthink is well made.

* She specifically notes that she believes climate change is real but that we are being let down by the science.

Scientists like her are in a difficult position. She’s criticised by the science mafia for not completely following the IPCC script, but also has climate change deniers using her arguments in ways in which she probably doesn’t intend.

I can understand why some scientists would prefer to run with the consensus, but I think that approach ultimately harms the science in the long run.

I did read the article. I also listened to her interview and recognised there's a fair bit of time between the two. And that suggests she has shifted further to the unacceptable side. Given her age I'm not surprised. She's not sucking off the teat. But hey, I'm just a cooker so no worries.

The cooker thing seems to have gotten under your skin.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Anyway, gold star to the the next guy that suggests

Suggests what? I want a gold star FFS!

It didn't. It's so childish and if you'll forgive me sheeplike. I just can't believe you guys want it in record.

Anyone who uses it can save their money on DNA testing. They are 100% sheep.

And that's the only time I said that. So given this has been going for a couple of years it just backs up my claim that I don't call people sheeple.

A sheeple would probably need to get DNA tested. We can't assume its 50% sheep and 50% people.

i'm definitely not dissin' mushrooms ..... i've come to realise there are many things that get poo-pooed cos some group decides they need to get poo-pooed .... for various reasons - its in competition to something else, can't profit from it (yet), don't understand it

The issue is as they say. How do we profit of something that can cure someone off only 1-3 doses? Esepcaily if poured millions i to research?

 

[hindy111]

The primordial swamp, before that, stardust.

We originated from mushrooms.
Perhaps they come from stardust. Not us.

People can laugh all they want and put me also in the IALB wack job box. Lets just see who is right in 10yrs .

Can I leave my pants on?

That's up to you mate. This experiment won't matter if clothed or not.
