  1. The mass extinction of dinosaurs was 66 million years ago, and they thrived happily for 165 million years. Humanity is a flyspeck in comparison. How did the "prominent chemist" explain dinosaurs?
  2. And 50% of Americans still believe in angels. Is that 10,300 years Creationism, or something else?
  3. Point taken, IMO answered in my previous post ( and yours )
  4. The laws of thermodynamics were operating back in the Ice Ages. The answer to your question lies in two main factors, the earth's orbit around the sun, and albedo. During what are called Milankovitch cycles, the planet moves further away from the sun, and receives less solar radiation, It cools down so that snow and ice that would normally melt during summer in the high latitudes stays on the ground. Albedo is reflectivity of radiation. Earth and rock absorb radiation, ice and snow reflect it back into space. Earth cools in a positive feedback loop. There are other factors, such as volcanic eruptions contributing putting ash and dust into the atmosphere to add to cooling, and atmospheric CO2 concentration. The basic point is the time frame. Ice Ages take millennia to form and disappear. We might even have been heading into one now, but three hundred years of mankind burning fossil fuels has well and truly upset the applecart. If I get combative with posters, it's because I get frustrated with an inability to acknowledge basic science. Sometimes, it is a wilful inability.
  5. It's not actually Russian lives lost, more the ethnic minorities and recruits from the satellites in the Russian Federation. Plus North Koreans. Putin knows if he starts drafting in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the doo-doo will really hit the fan. The 1918 Revolution had some of the factors occurring now.
  6. Wow, you have changed.
  7. IIRC you said your Thai wife had gone from gorgeous to a german hausfrau. Are you mellowing with age?
  8. How many have you purchased?
  9. I did read your previous posts on this thread, Sheryl. Not disputing for a nanosecond your recommendation, doxy was a by the way post.
  10. IIRC there's a saying about not looking a gift horse in the mouth.
  11. AFAIK the acronym PCP is used for a mind-altering street drug, phencyclidine. Enlighten me, please. Good luck with the course of doxy.
  12. But I thought Putin said the sanctions aren't working...........
  13. Doxycycline is effective against a number of urinary tract infections. Years ago, I had a virulent UTI, including pus. The first pill of the course of doxycycline stopped the infection in its tracks. Co-incidentally, doxy is also prescribed as a malaria prophylactic. However, prolonged use may weaken the immune system.
  14. My word, I'll have to mount your post on a wall. We actually agree on something.
  15. Yes. The problem is you. I guess you'll just have to accept there are people who don't suffer fools gladly.
  16. Yes, the climate is changing. It's the first time a species on the planet has caused the change, in the space of a few hundred years, instead of millennia. Yes, the Earth is not an isolated system. That's why we live in a SOLAR SYSTEM, which for all intents and purposes IS isolated from the rest of the universe, apart from the odd comet. I guess you are just so much smarter than Thomson, Clausius, Nernst and Fowler. Where should I send your Nobel prize, genius? Describing what is settled science as mumbo jumbo is simply a demonstration of your abject ignorance.
  17. I suggest you stop lying, because there is nothing in the X-sourced post to confirm the liberal judges sided with the conservative judges. An opinion piece by a jurist. It says nothing about the Supreme Court being unanimous. I guess mundane is code for: don't bother me with details such as lying. The get a life remark is a typical put down from someone who does not have one outside these threads, probably sitting in some miserable bedsit in the UK trying to stay warm, even in what passes for summer..
  18. He hasn't been sent to jail after sentencing for 34 counts of falsifying business records, so perhaps your claim of a bus ticket is a tad exaggerated. Get real, man. When has Trump ever lowered himself to get on a bus?
  19. Sadly, the adaptability of bacteria to pharmaceuticals means what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. Good to see in your case, fingers crossed for the OP.
  20. I was talking about MAGA, the rest have been conned. Already, the GOP is talking about a $5 trillion cut to welfare, and Trump is not even in the White House yet.
  21. I suggest you post proof the liberal judges sided with the conservative judges, because I suspect you are lying.
  22. I have to laugh when Trump supporters talk about brainwashed sheep, they are pure Merino.
  23. IIRC Bill Barr said "Trump is toast" as Jack Smith built his case. That was a Trump ally.
  24. I suggest you prioritize your spending to afford the carbapenems. You are right, definitely not good long term. What's more important, your health or money?
