He’s obfuscating. Whenever you encounter this from a MAGA, recall the Sartre post about their true intentions. He nailed it.

The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

Let's concentrate on one study at a time. The hot/cold study was published in an obscure branch of Lancet dealing with population health. And yes, Lancet's main journal is considered among the best and most widely read medical journals in the world. This particular article in this particular journal will be read by very few people except scientists in the field who can easily understand the data as presented and will read it critically. I suspect you also understand the meaning of the data but care not to acknowledge it. It's not intended to mislead the public but to inform the science community. Someone had to look very hard to find a tiny detail in a table that bears no impact on the findings of the study. Stop being obtuse. You look for what you hope to find and when you don't find it, you amplify some trivial data presentation method. If only you were as diligent in your interest in info on trump's crimes and how he devised them...Even if the authors were trying to mislead (and they weren't) it's nothing compared to the lies trump and MAGA's spout every day. Everything is not a conspiracy but Jan 6 was. -

Yes, because the absolute number of deaths between hot and cold were a factor of 3 different. The differences for deaths in hot countries on the same scale would have been less visually apparent graphically. they'd already been presented numerically. ON THE FIRST PAGE! -
There's no actual pixelation in audio. He means compressed files, I think. He's poking a finger in Spotify's belly and pointing out an inferior product. I would agree with him that Joe Rogan"s perspective pushed disinformation that had little or no basis. I'll stick with Amazon. Great quality audio in its premium form. Algorithms aren't as good as spotify tho.

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. -
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.

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? -
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.

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. -

How would you know? Can you share a CV or bio? -
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.

which industry/profession invents an abbreviation that's as long as the actual word? That's just dumb.

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.
