Got it, so you just disagree with the timeframe on the basis of evidence from... the Industrial Revolution.

So what's your point? Cease technological process because there's a lag between invention and mass adoption?

People said the same about washing machines, dishwashers, automobiles and PC's.

What would Ukraine stand go gain from that?

Tracy Jordan's Meat Machine! "Meat is the new bread."

The irony is that virtually all of the predictions made by the so-called "Project Fear" have come true. Economic downturn, shortages, and even Cameron's warning of war in Europe.

But Brits are too thick to stand up the Tories.

Might as well replace the ice cream in a milkshake with oil, it will be just as delicious! /s

While I tend to despise this argument, since it's often used to justify wank and sophistry, it is worth remembering that the history of physicists declaring something impossible is checkered at best. Proving a negative is just... really hard to do, but certainly the burden on anyone claiming a breakthrough in this area has to prove they've done something revolutionary... is very high.

tl;dr I share your doubts, but lets remember that even extremely unlikely ideas like FTL could someday be viable. It's unlikely for a list of reasons, but not 100% impossible.

Reliable blood pressure without a cuff, without something in the artery... that strikes me as a much harder problem than blood glucose monitoring, and that's not an easy problem either.

If you can't trust Google to look after the best interests of your children, who can you trust?! /s

Tbh Coney Barrett looks like the sort who chants that when someone cuts her off in traffic!

Cold DEAD eyes.

Two things I really don't want in my car: giant screens instead of physical controls, and TikTok.

Well you have to remember who those four are, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Barrett, who are all basically human ham steaks.

It still blows my mind that the US has the death penalty, it puts them in SUCH poor company, but they never seem to fully ditch it.

The US more than any other country can afford to securely house dangerous people for an indefinite period, and we all know that "deterrence" is a myth. Just... joint he rest of us in the developed world already!

The keto people are a weird bunch, by the time they get to adding grease to coffee I figure their tastebuds died a loooong time ago.

In this case "mind-bending" means the 'science communicator's' mind was bent, a pitifully low bar. This is Vice after all, their headlines are even more embarrassing than their content.

Among other notable failings, yes indeed.

The man is thicker than pig shit, without the moral depth of pig shit.

Henry Kissinger rises from his crypt

"Amateur."

Lol, that must be a real morale-builder.

There's a reason so many pyramid schemes, MLM scams and the like target Mormons.

So now your conspiracy theory is that cops threatened an ADA and forced her to end her career, and instead of reporting those threats and making her career, she submitted. Now everyone involved is sworn to eternal silence, despite public pressure.

It's so simple, how could no one else have thought of this!
