    That's a new one. Still white you think?

    No clue because this generally breaks all the molds and patterns on these.

    There is no telling.

    Not sure how to view this one without more info.

    I'm seeing its supposedly a female with 2 injured.

    Something tells me this can be directly linked to radical menstrual cycle extremism

    Female killers like this are extremely rare. Normally it is a much less physically violent form of lashing out.

    This will be a weird one if this is true

    The question is whether serious geneticists can study a serious genetics topic which has racial implications without being attacked personally.  So far we know they can't.

    Sullivan's position, and my position, is not advocating any particular conclusion.  It is advocating the scientific study of genetics and any implications it might have on genetic differences in humans - race, gender, whatever - be treated as scientific study.  Rebuttals should be scientific rebuttals.  Today "we" treat this topic as a political taboo and attack practitioners as racists.

    Think of it like a First Amendment argument.  There are times when you argue for the fair treatment of a speaker, while not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing.  I do not understand the science of Reich's work.  I'm sure it doesn't profoundly change what we know about human differences.  But I do know it's a subject that many don't want studied.  And there is pushback.  My point is about the politics of it.  My position is to treat it as science.  Let scientists study and publish articles.  Let science go where it goes, searching for the truth wherever it is.

    The funny part is that now with how genetic mapping is being conducted and the rise of the various analytics techniques, I can already start designing a way to dive into the analysis without ever using race. Just start with the end product of multiple intelligence tests and then do clustering or other aggregation techniques back until you get a consistent set of subset predictors and then start using that with the overlays of "race" or "subpopulaiton" categorization and some simple Bayesian statistical techniques  or conditional probabilistic approaches.

    It will take a massive amount of computing power and a large set of mapped genetic data tied to several intelligence metrics, but it would help at the bare minimum solidify boundaries of the debate.

  4. This was why I laughed at the Paris Climate Accords and the freakout by Trump pulling out of them. They were a farce that had no real teeth and no real funding outside of the US.

    They were sitting on the 2C number, but no real justification of why or how they derived it. They new research now they state that the "Voluntary national pledges made under the Paris pact to cut CO2 emissions, if fulfilled, would yield a 3 deg C world at best." Which completely goes against the accords and how they were written and tells me that they dont really have a consensus on how they were calculating these estimates anyways. 

    These accords were designed to do nothing and do it spectacularly. Now we have people that are upset that since the US pulled out, no one else wants to pay for it, they still arent remotely close to meeting the suggested values and they new researchers have revised that the actual impact would move the number from 2 to 3.

    A global accord regarding climate with no real teeth and no real hard metrics is useless. Until everyone decides it is important enough to pay for it, so unilateral restrictions for all countries and not a piecemeal setup, it is worthless.

    Glad to see FASA stuff getting some love. The Shadowrun guys pulled it off, and I think these guys will pull it off as well. 

    Same set of guys actually

    • Eskimos are a part of a group of Native Alaskans (or Alaskan Natives) from a region with widespread poverty and much, much higher-than-normal alcoholism rates and alcohol-based health problems.  Search for "Eskimo alcoholism" and you'll be inundated with the problems those folks are suffering.

    Should we notify the SJWs to protest the blatant racism of this franchise? If the people are pissed at the Cleveland Indians and Washinton Redskins, think about how pissed they would be about essentially drunk injuns

    It is very disturbing that this still amuses me.

    I know... I couldnt help myself with this one. Some how this one makes me laugh every time. Might also be because how hardcore that one byu fan was on defending the schools honor.

    Still playing, grinding out bandit camps is fun. I like doing the same in Far Cry, taking out the camps. With this game though, getting to a field with the bow and arrow to pick off two seems necessary before fighting on foot with the sward. 

     

    Any tips on fighting 2 or more guys at once? I get absolutely whooped when taking on multiple assholes.

    There is no hnits... you either counterstrike or become an armored tank..

    Multiple enemies are death early on

    So let me get this straight.  Kevin Morgan, a  A&M affiliate grad, performed an aggressive took over of the premier UT fan website, via litigation, and is surprised that it's users are leaving in droves and want's BL's advice on how to keep the site going?   Meanwhile, his real business is a set of franchises based exclusively in Texas and he's pissed off a large portion of this potential clientele over a web site that's worth is based exclusively on not driving away this fan base?  Do I have that right?  This was not well thought out.

    Also, ironically I can purchase one of his franchises if I can show I'm worth around tree fiddy.

    Yeah... some how I dont think this was thought all the way through

    For old times’ sake and the lulz, here’s a note from the Tweeterplex by everyone’s favorite moonshine aggy, the Dude of West Virginia:

    “New OU prez is pro Big 12, bullish on expansion and close ties to Colorado. Big 12 set to put the full press on easterly Pac 12 schools for Membership.  Colorado, Arz., Arz State & a surprise BYU.”

    He also said T3 money would keep B12 teams away from Pac.
