  1. I'm not sure what you're trying to say with the bolded. The fetus is indeed just a mass of tissue - science does not deny this but rather confirms this. But I don't think the "just a mass of tissue" argument by the pro-choice side holds much water since every single human is a mass of tissue.
  2. It's the same number of weeks because the B1G network shows non-conference games as well. But they can play twice as many non-conference games as conference games in any given week. So that means the conference games must be worth more than double the non-conference games. I mean, the total says the B1G is making more money, but I don't see how it's due to 8 vs 9 conference games.
  3. Maybe limit the notifications to the 3 most recent ones?
  4. Does anyone not on the West coast watch this? I'm done with CFB by the evening and have no desire to watch more after dark.
  5. Good post. The problem with the show however is that if Dany is truly motivated by revenge, then she wouldn't have let Jaime off so easily. And that was just a few episodes before she then exacts revenge on... innocent people who she's trying to rule. They don't setup how she could take vengeance on the wrong people when she had a clear opportunity to take vengeance on someone her brother told stories about when they were children. Plus they have the exact same issue of why Dany attacked the populace of the city instead of just destroying the Red Keep. The show writers bungled her character arc in service of getting quickly from Night King to Cersei to Dany as the main villain. IMO, they could have told the same plot but done the villains as Night King one season, followed by Cersei one season, followed by Dany in the last season. (Or some version of that.) That gives time to setup the switches, develop character motivations, and play out the betrayals and double-crosses and such that lead to Dany destroying King's Landing. Then we'd also have more than a single episode to explore Dany as the villain and the reactions to that. (I guess it's possible that the writers could pull the ultimate surprise and have another season after spending so much time saying this is the last one, but I strongly doubt it.)
  6. I wouldn't bet on Pelosi or Barr. They'll both somehow manage to lose.
  7. I don't think anyone will stop them or hold them to account because the Senate GOP cowers to Trump. This shows why it was important to hold the W team accountable for their lies, but both parties (including Obama and the Dems) just wanted to move forward and forget. Bolton being back is now going to cost us dearly.
  8. He did have enough Pym particles as someone mentioned above. And based on the rules of splitting timelines instead of affecting the original timeline, Rogers could not have gone back into the same timeline he started in.
  9. There's nothing to tell us whether Rogers was involved or not because he was in a separate timeline. He and Peggy could have very well been very involved in events in their timeline.
  10. John Bolton did this already to achieve an invasion of Iraq. I'm not surprised he'd do it again.
  11. I'm guessing that due to all the fracking in Colorado.
  12. Of all the campaign rhetoric Trump used, I really thought he'd at least be different from the two parties in not getting us in yet another foreign conflict.
  13. Man, I've missed a ton of frequent flier miles when using my phone. How come nobody told me about this!
  14. I guess I don't understand how a different metric is any sort of policy. They aren't even the same sorts of things. Measuring the economy is one thing, proposing a solution is something entirely different.
  15. You're missing my point: a number doesn't better serve anything. What's Yang doing with that number? And how does that help people? Those are the questions that need details to understand if it means anything.
  16. Just calculating a number - any number - doesn't do any good. What you do with that number is what matters.
  17. Yes, I can't even count the number of times girls have gone on sudden genocidal killing sprees.
  18. What good does calculating GDP differently do anyone? What tax breaks and incentives? The human-centered capitalism is a noble philosophy, but the devil is in the details.
  19. According to this, climate change is only the third leading cause of mass extinctions: UN Report: Nature’s Dangerous Decline ‘Unprecedented’; Species Extinction Rates ‘Accelerating’
  20. There is more CO2 in the atmosphere today than any point since the evolution of humans
  21. +1 Thanks for summing up what I'm trying to say better than I did.
