Interesting, a dead god. The Norse also worshipped mortal gods many of whom will die at Ragnarok. In fact, the course of Ragnarok is laid out in detail. Which ones live and which ones die along with how they die. So, they believe in Fate, predestination, predeterminism.

My “one that got away” would probably be thought of as a bit chubby by many. Her main attraction was her personality. She was the nicest girl I ever met and being with her was just…easy.
@robert – you see, a pretty face can’t make you laugh or hold your interest (in itself).
Don’t underestimate my superfici…[Read more]

Despite the grossly lopsided GDPs of Russia vs. America and the NATO combined GDP, the war in Ukraine is far from over. It’s so desperate now that the U.S. is resorting to weapons most countries regard as a war crime. And the reason just given by Biden is that we are running out of nice weapons, so we’re resorting to using a weapon so…[Read more]

Almost too much there to respond to. Let’s start with this. I’ll answer more as I get time, unless you keep posting, but I see there are other posts by other people wanting to hear from me.
I’m going to set WW1 aside because I know much less about it beyond how The Great War started stupidly with a bungled assassination. We wisely…[Read more]

@Robert and Jake
Luckily for us, Muslims tend to assimilate pretty well in the U.S., able to find work, buy homes, and enjoy the American way of life about as well as Christians. Of course, like Jews and Asians, they do suffer a degree of harassment from idiots who assume every Muslim is wearing a suicide vest.
The proof of successful…[Read more]

Unseen replied to the topic Do you know RFK jr.'s actual view on vaccines? Probably not. in the forum Science 5 months ago
It was mainly the elderly and people with compromised immune systems who died of Covid, and it turned out that not only didn’t vaccination save many lives among the rest of the population, but it didn’t prevent one from becoming reinfected or becoming an asymptomatic carrier, did it? Contrary to what the drug manufacturers and the CDC…[Read more]

@robert Did you watch the interview? Not Pakman’s, the one in the top post. I think he makes some great points.
Yeah, and his so-called “good points” are all garbage that could have all been addressed by a real scientist or two. Instead he assembles an echo chamber of freaks. Here is what happened to thousands of people who bought i…[Read more]

Surely, there must be a specific academic refutation of the ScienceDigest research article. Can you find it?

The idea that cold causes more deaths over time under normal conditions is well established and is backed by solid data and rigorous analysis.
Cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study analyzing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries. The findings, published…[Read more]

And yet, more people die of cold than heat. I’m not sure exactly why. Perhaps people in refugee camps are counted, but it’s generally accepted that cold kills more.
Even in an apartment, if the temperature outside is subzero, sooner or later the apartment temp will equalize and the same is true of clothing. Heavy clothing can put off the…[Read more]

According to a Google Sumarizer if you ask “Does cold kill more people than heat?” you get this:
…In 2019, cold temperatures killed nearly four times as many people as warm temperatures, and deaths due to moderately hot or cold weather substantially exceed those resulting from extreme heat waves or cold spells. The Institute for Health…[Read more]

It should be obvious. Arguing from analogy, if you have more cars, you’ll have more auto accidents; if you have more swimming pools, you’ll have more drownings; and if you have more guns, there will inevitably be more gun-related deaths. And that’s without regard to concentrating only on murder and mayhem.

@Robert & Noel
Do you honestly believe (and I mean believe in your figurative heart and soul) that Putin could defeat a coalition of UK, France, Germany and the rest of NATO?
If so, you need to go into therapy.
They shouldn’t need us.

Humans refuse to see that we are the problematic introduced species. Though, because we are highly adaptable and resourceful, we would have sooner or later gotten to the Americas anyway, which is the argument I make regarding cats. A creature with the wild cat’s* survival skills and flexibility would have spread here eventually…[Read more]

@robert There are humane ways to euthanize cats and dogs such as a overdose of an opiate, though they are more expensive than the cheap ways, I imagine, such as a suffocation chamber, which has been used. One hopes blenders, wood chippers, etc., are not an option.
True, but irresponsible pet owners are the real cause of the year in…[Read more]
