  1. to highlight the differences among various countries. Some people are actually worried about climate change and want to know how many people are dying from extreme heat and where. It might be important to know. The conclusion of the study was clearly stated at the beginning in the abstract. Everyone with any experience reading journals reads the abstract first - to see if it's worth your time. I doubt any of your students have written a 20+ page paper with a bibliography and citations throughout.
  2. My dad worked for Hooker as did I for a few summers. I went to some of those games. All the peanuts, popcorn and coke you could handle and what a blast! I think the pool must have been closed during games. I remember the announcer saying "that ones in the pool!" Hooker tried hard to build a nice employee and family culture. I played softball in the Hooker league a couple of years and it was a great time. Very fond memories and our team was terrible. 2nd to last both years.
  3. I just scanned the study. This figure is deep in the results section and the axis is clearly labelled. Anyone reading the findings on page 1 of the study would know that 10X more people died from cold than heat. And I doubt anyone with a science background skipped page 1 to go right to this figure Findings "Across the 854 urban areas in Europe, we estimated an annual excess of 203 620 (empirical 95% CI 180 882–224 613) deaths attributed to cold and 20 173 (17 261–22 934) attributed to heat. These corresponded to age-standardised rates of 129 (empirical 95% CI 114–142) and 13 (11–14) deaths per 100 000 person-years. Results differed across Europe and age groups, with the highest effects in eastern European cities for both cold and heat." You cons try so hard and fail. It's pathetic. You don't trust experts because you don't like what they have to say. Do you really believe climate change is not a threat? in Fla? any idea what the temp of your dashboard would be today if you parked your car in the sun for 4 hours?
  4. So what you're saying is that there aren't different degrees of racists ...So Catholics who were taught decades ago to not trust or like Jews for what happened 2000 years ago are equal to neo nazis...neither stance is good but one is much worse than the other. you seem to see things in black and white while I almost always see them in shades of gray.
  5. do you have a self driving tesla tractor to mow?
  6. Do they contain CV's? What do you know of his body of work? I'm waiting on mowing. It's a bit long but it's not supposed to rain all week and I don't like burnt grass.
  7. lighten up Francis...or is it Francine. I think it is fair to say that the KKK aren't equal opportunity racists.
  8. How would you know? Can you share a CV or bio?
  9. the KKK hates Jews, Catholics and Blacks. I'm not sure they have much hate for Norwegians or Canadians.
  10. many people are part racist. It's how ethnic "cleansing" occurs: intense hate for a particular ethnic group. And sometimes, people hate themselves...
  11. don't know anything about these people except that they're black, wrote ridiculous curriculum and appear to be aligned with Desantis. It's not like they took bribes from billionaires...
  12. Can't find anything on these 2 but I think it's fair to assume they side with Desantis since they were named to the committee. Some context was added in this piece however. There is clearly a bigger culture/race war agenda here than you care to admit. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-florida-standards-teach-black-people-benefited-slavery-taught-usef-rcna95418 In January, DeSantis’ administration blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and was historically inaccurate. The state pointing to six areas of concern and works by Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, bell hooks, Angela Davis and other Black authors. That same month, DeSantis and Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. discussed the issue at a news conference. They said that the course was a Trojan horse for “indoctrinating” students with a left-wing ideology under the guise of teaching about the Black experience and African American history.
  13. which industry/profession invents an abbreviation that's as long as the actual word? That's just dumb.
  14. hardly surprising but satisfying validation. I guess the MAGA's think all these D voters are mentally disturbed...it's false hope. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/21/gop-college-towns-00106974 Name the flagship university — Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, among others — and the story tends to be the same. If the surrounding county was a reliable source of Democratic votes in the past, it’s a landslide county now. There are exceptions to the rule, particularly in the states with the most conservative voting habits. But even in reliably red places like South Carolina, Montana and Texas, you’ll find at least one college-oriented county producing ever larger Democratic margins.
  15. false. many posters here, including me, "buy it".
  16. great story! My friend and I were building a tree fort next to a new house under construction. Unbeknownst to me, my friend was stealing wood from the house for the fort. One day we came back to the fort to find his bike (which was parked on the ground below the fort) stolen. My friend got it back by apologizing to the contractor. Kids are so dumb sometimes.
  17. therefore, anyone stating a fact is seeking validation? x is medical short hand for "except". old habits die hard. plus it's convenient.
  18. Well, then I splain it to you when asked. convertibility stringent? Fortunately for me, our minds work nothing alike.
  19. thank you. You write somewhat eloquently but reason weakly. It's almost as if you don't actually believe what you write. "convertibility stringent"? like barbies car with stiff suspension?
  20. Putin had no concern for Ukraine or really any country joining NATO because trump was dismembering it. Ukraine wasn't a threat as trump showed puti that by successfully extorting them. (no doubt, your good with a US prez doing that) The Russians also were likely not prepared yet for the war and it turns out they weren't, .even when they attacked. Do you think we live in a vacuum? Far from it. I guess you thought the supposed wall would protect us from nuclear weapons? Any objective observer reading these threads would conclude that trump appeals to the uninformed, naive and those searching for easy but fictional answers to huge problems....I could probably get you some Ivermectin and HCQ....
  21. so you think he's a swell guy and law abiding citizen who should be president again?
