    That's the question climate models try to answer. Making a highly siomplified model like apparently some Chinese scientists have done is unlikely to answer that question. I disagree. You can call them something else, but what they are doing is atempting to determine what is likely to happn in the future based on what happened in the past. If that's not a prediction, I'm not clear on what is. "Alarmists" might do that. Luckily most reasonable people are not "alarmists". I think you mean, "This is where popular news reports on climate science have come." - Dan G

    We like to call in an unscheduled release of energy, but RUD is good too. Also, unplanned increase of part count is one of my favorites. - Dan G

    Eww - Dan G

    Is it still a misdemeanor in your jurisdiction if I did it to a cop? - Dan G
  5. DanG
    Whoa whoa, wait. I thought your problem with climate models was they didn't account for enough variables. Now the Chinese come up with an even simpler model and you're ready to accept it? Could that be because it says what you want it to say? - Dan G

    Gaining the prisoner's trust is the only way to get true cooperation. Torture is counterproductive. - Dan G

    Stop cheerleading. He provided it, just not in the format that turtle wanted. - Dan G

    I'd prefer to use techniques that result in more useful intel, but that's just me. If torture gets you off, then I guess that's your bag. - Dan G

    Sounds like a bad idea, but that's based only on the article you linked. How do you feel about it? - Dan G
  10. DanG
    Don't be obnoxious. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a "low information voter". - Dan G

    I didn't mean you personally. In general, I meant why should the police be allowed to make paraphenalia charges (including pipes, etc.) when no drugs are found? - Dan G
  12. DanG
    Gosh, they have pipes that never break or leak? And do you believe that after pumping tons of chemicals deep into the Earth at extreme pressure, that stuff will always just play nice and stay there? I'm not some anti-fracking nut job. There are obvious concerns with the process. I personally think fracking is a great technology to have in our back pocket when other sources of gas and oil become very difficult/expensive to work. We shouldn't just start fracking like crazy (like we are) because it is not going to end up being environmentaly friendly on a large scale. - Dan G

    If there are drugs in a Crown Royal bag, why do you need to make a paraphenalia charge? Don't you already have a drug possession charge? What's the point of paraphenalia laws anyway? It's the drugs that should be regulated (although I personallything they should be legal), not things that could conceivably be used in connection with drugs. - Dan G

    How does the fracking fluid get down there, and the product get back up, without piping going through the water table? - Dan G

    Looks like it's in the pipeline {cough}. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/31/us-usa-crude-exports-analysis-idUSKBN0K908M20141231 - Dan G

    Then we can expect to continue to be embroiled in the region's troubles. - Dan G

    Does getting out of the Middle East include ceasing aid and support to Israel? - Dan G

    I'm not condoning or supporting this guy in any way, but it strikes me as odd that when it's a police shooting, all you care about is convictions. Since this guy was only convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, why aren't you cutting him the same slack? - Dan G
  19. DanG
    Okay, so some protesters in NYC were shouting for dead cops. Is there something about that fact you want to discuss? - Dan G
  20. DanG
    Maybe you should keep in mind that was not what they were chanting. - Dan G

    As pointed out above, there are people serving who have different political views. Your characterization is a gross exaggeration. And, although funjumper's posts are always pretty trollish, it was still a PA. Please don't complain when someone does the same thing to you. - Dan G
  22. DanG
    Nice PA. if you think every soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine is a conservative, you've probably never served yourself. - Dan G
  23. DanG
    I love how you keyboard warriors have turned, "Guy sounds paranoid to me," into, "I'm a liberal, gun-o-phobe who thinks all emergency preparedness is crazy!" You're just making yourselves look stupid. - Dan G
  24. DanG
    Sure, which is a totally reasonable approach. The writer in your OP says he never (yes, he said never) carries someting in his right hand. That's paranoid. - Dan G

    Well, the few times I've gotten a speeding ticket, I'm pretty sure the cop was holding the ticket pad with one hand, and writing with the other. I guess that makes them complacent. - Dan G
