OT: Corona's Invisible Victims

The English did, yes. The British have never had a civil war. (No, Irish independence does not count IMHO.)

While Brexit and Bojo has polarised the nation far more than anything in hundreds of years, you are not going to find Britons taking up arms against each other in numbers that are significant enough to call it a "civil war".

There was violence and terrorism on both sides - but not a civil war.

Even trolling isn't bad if it has some variety. His doesn't; same endless droning third-party insults. Ignore him.

Bad aircraft designs don't last long. Bad science is science that isn't tested by experiment.

I have a cool book, The World's Worst Aircraft by Gilbert.

And I just re-read Spitfire, Taylor and Allward. It's a wonderful book, with neat structual drawings. Spit was an amazing design. I found the book, neglected and dusty, in a little bookstore in west London.

What's "Real Science" is that like being a "Real Man"?

It's weird that so many Americans think epidemiology and climate science is fake but think the prognostications of economists, Laffer Curves, and Invisible Hands of Markets are "real"

Whoa! You kept that pretty quiet, John! When were you in London?? I could have met up with you there (given enough notice) and collected on the burger and fries you still owe me from our wager of the last millennium, you bounder! And I thought you were a man of honour. :-D

enerate chemical products....there are no deniers in that realm of science.

has no significant number of deniers.

I do not know if climate science is fake, per se....but I do know that thei r "findings" are used in attempt to push political agendas. I also know th at I do not see any of these "esteemed" scientists resigning or even speak ing out when their "scientific" findings are being used to draw political ( and not scientific ) conclusions.....

As I recently heard someone say....Science is absolutely true. Scientists on the other hand are not so true.

It was a long time ago, several times in fact. I also spent some time in Oxford, on the atom probe project. Oxford is magic.

There's burger or two we could try in San Francisco.

Absolutely.

Like you touting Trump or anything he does or has done as being intelligent.

Like his retarded "Make School Lunches Great Again" Where out of his hatred for all things Obama, screwed up nutritional requirements for provided school lunch programs.

In order to make American kids unhealthy again.

It does not get more retarded than Donald John trump.

Oh wait... a Trump supporter who refuses to wipe the Trump fecal cream from their face.

We know who's ass you had your head up last winter. The DoeTard's!

He had is up Trump's ass. Like a string of monkeys! Who's head is up your ass, Larkin? Is that where Thompson disappeared to? Bwuahahaha!

You certainly know that climate has been studied. You also know that the findings are useful.

Weasel words. Policies that harm the environment have to be studied in order to find remedies, but why do you put quotations around 'esteemed'? You're teaching the controversy without identifying ANY issue at all. Slimy little thing, aren't you?

Why on earth would a scientist resign for reasons other than misfeasance? Controversy isn't criminal, like abuse of public office is.

You ought to experience Cambridge :)

John Larkin has a blind spot. Observational sciences aren't tested by exper iment. They are frequently tested by making new and different observations

- the recognition of the existence of continental drift followed from obser vations of stripes alternating magnetic field direction along the ocean flo or.

Even the Spitfire has it's defects. The carburettor initially couldn't cope with inverted flight.

It does have better restaurants than Cambridge, but it suffer equally from academics who have got jobs at Oxbridge and think that - since they've got into paradise - they don't have to strive any more.

My piano teacher's husband was a top botanist who got a professorship at a redbrick university - probably the best one in the UK for botany. His take on Cambridge and Oxford was that they got the best second-rate academics in the country, because they got people who were more interested in working a t a high-prestige university than they were interested in working with firs t class colleagues. It did make sense.

John Larkin reads just enough to decide that the rest of the post is unlikely to flatter him, then loses interest. Since his interest is confined to stuff that makes him feel better about himself, he doesn't see a lot of variety in my posts.

People with broader interests may have a different impression.

They're not victims. For most of them, if it wasn't the pandemic, it would have been something else. Over-prescription of antidepressants is more responsible than the pandemic situation.
