Global warming err Climate change HOAX
4merper4mer replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You're getting there. Let's just say these systems exist in 100 years. By then two other things will likely have happened: 1. Artificial intelligence will have made huge leaps. 2. Another theorized, or as yet theorized superior system of high speed space propulsion will have been devised and would potentially be deployable. Don't like 100 years as a measure? How about 10? 50? 1000? 10,000? Pick one. And let's say the limitation of light speed turns out to be 100% the upper limit. There is another constant that renders this exploration a little less exciting but no less important. It will always be vastly more difficult to maintain a life support system traveling for decades through space to known or unknown destinations than to go without one. Each one of us has billions of bacteria within that help support our existence. The same complexities and interdependencies are obstacles for most living things on Earth. Does it make economic sense or scientific sense to attempt to send entire ecosystems on journeys for thousands of years in multiple directions? It sure would be awesome but does it make sense? I don't think so, because all of these life forms come in miniature form and you know what they all do? They replicate. We don't have the means at this point in history but at some point in the future we will be able to send a miniature Noah's Ark.....and it will be able to replicate. It's transport will also be able to replicate. No matter how advanced we become, this method will always make more sense than transporting actual living things. So.....given self replicating robots that hop around exploring, how long would it take to explore the entire galaxy? Realistic numbers say it would be about 250k years once started for the purely robotic variety. This method makes sense for us. If the galaxy was teeming with life it would also have to make sense for at least some of the other societies, no? 250,000 years isn't that long really. But where are all these probes? Where is any other sign at all? We are learning a lot and every single thing we've learned in the past decade+ points to it being just us. Every data point. Our probes will be the first but with some luck and perseverance they will succeed somewhere, probably many somewheres. -

I'm sorry to hear that and sincerely hope she does well in her recovery. My post was in no way meant to be related to cancer survivors. -

From your picture you look bald. What do you know about consistent hairdressers? -

OMG please make better thread titles. I didn't want to click on the thread because I thought Wimpy died or something. -
Jason Botterill in 15 years. The shirt gave it away.

I'm sure it's wrong but I'll go Mike Golic. Maybe Harvey Weinstein?

Which embalming fluid company has the corporate sponsorship for this tour? -
I hope Botts didn't really say that on the heels of his "Cozens in the World juniors finals gives us valuable playoff experience" doozy. Games that are turning points are determined long after further results are in. Ott, Cbus, Col are all just games. Side note since I think now even the most delusional have given up on playoffs: If we miss next year we'll tie the all time longest NHL non-playoff streak.

Very well done by her. I didn't think the other woman was "flipping out" but the worker was definitely in a tough spot,. The woman being surprised at Pete's sexuality, irrespective of her opinion on the topic, definitely shows that she is pretty damned uninformed and probably should not vote for anyone. Although not filmed, she took back her card and turned it in for Biden then said "wait a minute, are you telling me this guy sniffs people's hair"?

Chuck Manson? Ted Bundy? Ted Kascynki? David Koresh? Jeffrey Dahmer? John Wayne Gacy? David Berkowitz? Ed Kemper? Wayne Williams? Mike Bloomberg?

I think you might be right.

If you lose more games than you win you are simply not a .500 team. This is true whether you look at the record or take a percentage of awarded points. If a team is 0-0-1 they have one of two available points but only one of three awarded points. Standings are determined by awarded points. It has nothing to do with whether a team sucks or not. In the NFL a 15-0-1 team is technically undefeated. In the NHL an 81-0-1 team has been defeated. An overtime loss is a loss and a 13-13-4 team has lost 17 times. I think the .500 misperceptions goes back to when the NHL had ties and awarded 1 point each. It's an illusion.

You just repeated above "a normal name" in response to my question about one or two names. "A" means one. "Two" means a given name and a surname. Thus I guessed Shakira. I'm not sure if you were trying to trick me or not but overall you have had some really good ones. Please keep them up. This one was just a mistake. Cousin Rocky, pictured, was played by Cody Burger. Maybe Schumer was an extra or in a bit part.

They are tied with Beardy McGee on the results tally. Soon they will be ahead but they will always be questioned. McGee's results will be questioned on the 12th when they are released.
