Probably. But just a tiny fraction of how much money plays a role in pushing the agenda that it doesn't exist. Thus the irony.
impossible to quantify, but at least we can agree it is happening on both sides.

The best part about legitimate scientific papers is that you are required to make clear where your funding comes from. The most popular "scientific papers" that are used by deniers have been caught not disclosing this information (and do hysterical things like invoke a peer review process that involves getting people who are sciency who agree with the conclusions of the paper to say that they agree with the conclusions of the paper, presented in list form, and not actual peer review).
I've been begging for an excuse to put a project together on this topic actually, so I think I might get started. It's going to take a long time though because I ###### suck at physics and have a looooot of it to do this semester. And that's WITH me getting lucky on my TA assignment and waiting until spring to start my research lol
ahhh - the innocence of youth. I was a science major in college, too. Pure scientific research untainted by the need to get funding, get published and stay employed is intoxicating.
I've come to the conclusion that our country, and probably the world will end long before I need to worry about running out of dino juice, so I'm officially in the camp of I don't give a ###### anymore. I'm hoping McDonald's comes out with styrofoam containers again so I can chuck that ###### out my window.
You don't find it a little ironic that you state money as a reason to promote the idea of global warming?
No. Do you honestly believe money and politics don't play a role in pushing the agenda?

I :wub: memes.
How many hurricanes hit Florida during the year 19879 BC? I can't remember...

I was very hesitant to "believe in global warming" until I began having to read scientific papers, since I want to be a scientist. Finding the correct literature and analyzing its results and then comparing the way "deniers" present these things makes me shake with anger. The dishonesty and fundamental misunderstanding of the field and philosophy of science itself that is prevalent in the smug, shady explanations from right wing radio hosts and talking heads and the like makes me want to break things.
And this is coming from someone that wants to blast the modern left wing SJW "science" into the sun.
When reading any "scientific papers" the first question you must always ask yourself is who is paying for it. Much of the scientific world has gone the way of the media.
Pursue your dream, spend 10 years begging for funds to conduct whatever research interests you, watch your classmates sell their soul to the highest bidder to conduct funded research for special interest groups, and then come talk to me about the sanctity of science.

Gentleman jack is barely drinkable. It needs a strong mixer like coke. Now that you are out of grad school and making the big bucks, get yourself hooked on the good stuff. Once you do, there is no going back. It's more expensive than heroin, but you don't have to inject it directly into your veins to have a good time.

Last night in Bavaria.
Oktoberfest beer will never be the same after sampling it from the brauhaus' here in the Motherland.
The work project went very well. We finished up early. And we found time to tour Munich Old Town and two other Old Towns in Bavaria.
We saw a seemingly never ending hop farm on our travels on the Autobahn.
And we had a red stag in the field next to our hotel bellowing his Fall cry and scraping his majestic crown through the tall grass while we ate a delicious traditional Bavarian meal in the hotel biergarten in the countryside.
I'd say we had as full an experience as could be had in 3 days.
Did they keep that stag tied to a stake? sounds amazing!

when will Roysie be in town? hopefully they can recreate the magic.

The GOP is just mad they didn't think of monetizing it first.
they are mad that they weren't able to monetize acid rain as the cure for it.

I drink two bourbons pretty religiously - Blanton's when I can get it, and Jack Daniels Single Barrel when I can't. If you haven't tried JDSB, you are doing yourself a big disservice. I tried to not like it for years, as I can't stand to be in the same room with old #7, but I eventually gave in. Its really, really good, and always available.

How so do you mean?
This is the 1st year in the past 12 (IIRC) that the US has had any Cat 3 storms hit. Back in '05 (?), 3 hurricanes hit FLA alone.
where is the plus 1 feature on this site? Need it back for posts like this.
Man's problem in analyzing the weather is that we have been keeping track of it for less than 150 years. It is hard for our puny minds to grasp a system that has been cycling hot to cold every 20,000 years or so for at least the last 100K.
The scientific community and the democratic party have monetized human caused global warning, so we are stuck with it. Non-believers will be burned at the stake.

Hey now!
Don't be a stranger.
When I heard of the Paetsch signing I just had to come back.

Word.
I prefer t swizz before she went all pop, but hey.... She's catchy as hell and it sells.
I don't find Gwen Stefani attractive
And tyrod did a much much better job of not taking hits, that was good to see.... Unfortunately the rest of his game was Meh, especially his deep balls
Must be a bewb man :flirt:
Gwen Stefani is a poor man's Fergie Duhamel :wub:
there was supposed to be a couple more quoted comments in there. You'll have to excuse me. I'm a little out of practice.

I'm just going to leave this here:

If you drive a Mercedes G63, I would avoid the harbor center garage. Seems they have been towing them out of there. Especially if they are black...

I think I could forgive Bettman for no goal if we win the lottery this year and add Matthews to the Sabres' stable. But I fully expect Edmonton to win it again.
-
Three points better. And that's with Eichel, Reinhart, O'Reilly, Kane, and others who were not here last year.
Don't bother trying to convince me that they should only be three points better. They should be fifteen points better.
I'm not going to bite.
But this team might have a better record if NOLAN was the coach. Three points.
when was the multi game win streak last season that had us temporarily contending for a playoff spot? didn't they win 9 of 10 or something ridiculous like that right before Christmas?
It is getting said that we are 3 points better than last year at this time, but we had just finished our 10-3-3 stretch about now and had gotten to within 3 points of the playoffs iirc. If we continue at this pace we will be ~20 points higher than next year by April, and despite my skepticism of Bylsma, I really don't think that we'll lose 14 in a row like we did last year, as well as go something like 9-30-something to end the year. I think we'll slightly pick up the points pace and finish around 77-83 points.
there it is. 3 points doesn't tell the tale.

I just want to point out that Korab made a surprise visit today.
I always enjoy surprise visits from Korab.
that's what your gf says too...
jk jk :P Don't need a joffrey lupul issue on our hands
Hey now...

Didn't see this posted. Sounds like GMTM was trying to work out bigger deals involving Stewart and other pieces that did not work out.
@Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun · 3h 3 hours ago
Wild had been speaking on and off to Sabres on Stewart dating back to last summer. Price was always too high for Minnesota. Until today...
Real_ESPNLeBrun · 3h 3 hours ago
Chuck Fletcher phoned Tim Murray this morning and said he might be interested if it's a smaller deal. Murray circled back very late in day
@Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun · 3h 3 hours ago
It's clear Murray had larger deals involving Stewart he was looking at but they didn't pan out. Got what he could late from Wild
two promo and all the other naysayers on the Stewart trade - here's your answer as to why we got a 2017 2nd instead of one this year or next year. He was swinging for the fences and trying to consummate a bigger deal - it didnt work out, but he still managed to extract what he was looking for from a team who didn't want to pay that much going back to last summer.
Its easy to look at a trade and think he could have done or should have done better or done it sooner or whatever, but you have no idea what was being discussed in the background. would you swap a 2016 2nd for a 2017 2nd for the chance to do something far more significant? that was cost of taking the chance to do a much bigger deal involving Stewart. It didn't work out. so what. Maybe it will next time.
Another thought - too many picks all in the same year is not a good thing. we don't have an infinite number of contracts - we cant have all our prospects developing at the same time - we have a need to space them out - contending teams need to constantly restock their roster from the farm as guys hit free agency and leave - you cant keep them all forever.
-
And what will that prove? I know how things roll here.
Yes - it would require you actually commit to something which would be subject to debate and scrutiny and analysis based on facts and history and comparables. Its much easier to make gross generalizations of opinion and make fun of people who don't agree with you.
But that's how you roll.
-
Okay. If the goal was to hit the cellar, then mission accomplished. But we didn't get back anything close to what Stewart was worth. Not a big deal, I guess, but don't fart and tell me it's roses.
quit running from thread to thread and write down exactly what each of these guys was worth.
-
Moving goalposts, opinions based on how we feel at the moment. Did we get worse? Sure. But anyone could do that. Did we get anything close to reasonable value for what we gave up. No. But I guess that's okay with everyone.
quit shitting all over every thread and tell us what reasonable value is for each of the UFA's and the one RFA unloaded

Belatedly, I am in! Pm me details!We need a big BringYourOwnBourbon party. Get a half dozen of us hooligans somewhere outdoors so the cigars can get lit (and so can we!).
Been awhile since I've had Blanton's until tonight. I'd forgotten just how damned good that whiskey is.
Mmmmmmm, Blanton's!
-
you really are a turd. This announcement turns you on doesn't it? Well have it.smh. Let's substitute the word "future" for "contract." (On the other hand, he won't "call whatever number of games he wishes to," unless that contract is revised. He's done the season after next.)
-
who gives a ###### about his contract right now. He will call whatever number of games he wishes to for as long as he can get in front of his microphone.Might as well be optimistic. When Rick full recovers, what does it mean for his contract? It's pretty tough right now to imagine that he'll do all scheduled games this season — or even any. Would they extend his contract one more year to make up for lost time?
Kick cancer's ass RJ!
