Proof Positive That The NY Times Is Run By A Bunch Of Dum-Dums [CBD]
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, without comment, our national "paper of record" 😐 https://t.co/8RJpMQ8D1j
— Sean Bannion (@SeanBannion) August 5, 2016
First We Made Fire! But It May Have Come With Some Downsides. The link is real. It's not a clever spoof. Although it is hard to believe that even the employees of the gray Lady are this stupid.
But there were downsides, too. Occasionally, the smoke burned their eyes and seared their lungs. Their food was likely coated with char, which might have increased their risk for certain cancers. With everyone congregated in one place, diseases could have been transmitted more easily. Much research has focused on how fire gave an evolutionary advantage to early humans. Less examined are the negative byproducts that came with fire, and the ways in which humans may or may not have adapted to them. In other words, how did the harmful effects of fire shape our evolution?Where to start.... How about; The taming of fire began the process of creating civilization. There is nothing....NOTHING bad about its use. The smoke burned their eyes? So they moved away from the smoke, like any three-year-old knows. It seared their lungs? Really? How do you know? Ever go camping or hang around a bonfire? Oh...of course not. They don't do that stuff on the Upper West Side and at Brown. But normal people (and probably every animal on earth) know not to stand really close to the fire and breath in the hot smoke and air. It covered their food in char? Huzzah! Good for them. That's called flavor you dolts. Many of us are going to emulate our ancestors this very weekend and char some red meat! And here is the big one: It causes cancer. Fine. I'll take it. Every accomplishment of modern man can be traced to fire, directly or indirectly, so suggesting that it is a bad thing because of cancer is moronic in the extreme. Many of us wouldn't be alive long enough, or would never have been born to get cancer if we didn't have fire, so it's a silly point.
The flaccid logic of pretty much everyone involved in this mass of sophomoric idiocy is embarrassing. There are so many logical flaws that it's difficult to imagine that the writers and editors weren't just standing around some office on a rainy Friday afternoon, getting high and tossing around ideas for the stupidest articles they could imagine.
This one makes me deeply suspicious:With mathematical modeling, Rebecca Chisholm and Mark Tanaka, biologists at the University of New South Wales in Australia, simulated how ancient soil bacteria might have evolved to become infectious tuberculosis agents. Without fire, the probability was low. But when the researchers added fire to their model, the likelihood that tuberculosis would emerge jumped by several degrees of magnitude.Huh? So you modeled the rate of mutation, added some additional inputs like an easier pathway for communicability, and arrived at infectious tuberculosis. Okay. This is the same shitty thinking that gives us headlines like "GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES ZIKA!" The ulterior motive for this and other, similar articles is simple; the NYT and other leftist rags enjoy sticking their thumbs in the eye of Western civilization. In hindsight I shouldn't have included a link. The NY Times is a click-whoring organization....elegant, but they still prostitute themselves.

It's not even Western civilization. Fire was essential for any kind of civilization at all.
In fact, fire predated civilization by hundreds of thousands of years. It was agriculture that led directly to civilization.

yeah, agriculture, then people moved off the farm, became hippies, and grow non-GMO lettuce and tomatoes so they think they grow their own food, and are pretty high minded about it.
This back to nature "high brow" schtick would get old really fast for these city boys, even with fire and the wheel. The "native Americans" didn't really advance much, till Lizzy Warren came along.

Our local county fair had the same set up. The owners of this also had half a dozen displays of more unusual animals, such as wallabies, giant tortoise, Emus, and Pacas from S. America. Add in a full trailer with a prairie dog colony, various monkeys and a couple of camels that people could ride, and it was an interesting display.
They also had a "feed the goats" pen set up to feed them a cup of pellets you could buy.
All animals had water available, feed, shade, and were arranged so you could look at them, but not touch or poke through their enclosure, etc. The obligatory hand sanitizer stands everywhere.
Other than the Free the animals SJW, of which there wouldn't be many in this locale, I can't imagine anyone finding fault this set up, but who knows.

For a start: campers out in the woods today mainly have to worry about black bears and coyotes. A large group of adult humans around an open fire will scare most of those critters off (unless they're rabid I suppose).
During the Ice Age, the critters were... bigger. Brown bears instead of black ones; serious wolf packs; lions; tigers; leopards. So when our ancestors built fires, they did it in more sheltered areas. Which would concentrate the smoke and make it harder to avoid.

I'll ignore your ridiculous suggestion that I not heap abuse (deserved or undeserved...it doesn't matter) on the NY Times whenever the opportunity is afforded me.
Sure, I guess that makes sense. But I can think of lots of situations in which the smoke is easily avoidable. Plains dwellers probably had an easier time than forest dwellers. And really, the point is not that they couldn't avoid the smoke sometimes. The point is that they would learn to avoid the smoke very quickly, and modify their behaviors to prevent being injured or even discomfited by it.

I had to go half-way through the article to find the ONE bit of information I wanted- whether the baby was ok. Evidently s/he was ok (I do not remember whether it was a him or her.)
To hell with you, liberal writer, for making me read through 10 paragraphs of the actions or intentions of this or that state department to find out whether the child was actually ok.

I looked up CO2 toxicity and it is like 5%, though that may mean after hours, not sure. And current rates are 400 part per million ... on this planet. More CO2 and a little warming ... ug ... warm is good.

Just watch a few episodes of Naked and Afraid. No one builds a fire, and then sits, breathing in the smoke, even the formerly hippie participants in this contest. My guess is that as humans with some kind of a functioning cerebellum we instinctively move into where the air is more acceptable to our lungs. And the ones who didn't, natural selection.
Adult black bears have no problems with coming around campfires. They also have no problem with wrecking everything trying to get into food storage containers, and then your tent. It's why many people lobbied and sued the US Forest Service to overturn it's idiotic rules about no weapons in Federal parks.....

I remember reading a novel one time where the author theorized that 'cravings' during pregnancy is an unconscious desire to assure themselves that their mate still desires them and deems them worthy of self-sacrifice.
I kind of wonder if the temperature is part of that.
On the other hand, I think humans in general are such stews of competing processes and hormones that it is probably hard to figure out causality.

I wonder how much more complexity and engineering skill (not to mention materials) there is to Hydrogen bombs over the standard?
Regardless, my guess is that Iran will pop one of their standards off long before they both to dump money and resources into thermonuclear varieties.

Harvard and the Making of the Unabomber
In the fall of 1958 Theodore Kaczynski, a brilliant but vulnerable boy of sixteen, entered Harvard College. There he encountered a prevailing intellectual atmosphere of anti-technological despair. There, also, he was deceived into subjecting himself to a series of purposely brutalizing psychological experiments -- experiments that may have confirmed his still-forming belief in the evil of science. Was the Unabomber born at Harvard? A look inside the files.

Uh, dumb shit, cancer is primarily a disease of the elderly. Until recently it was relatively rare, because even as late as 1900, the mean longevity was 45. (Which of course is why the cancer incidence is increasing, now that living to your 80s is not that unusual.)
Back in cave man era, you were probably lucky to live 30, if that. So cancer wasn't a big concern. Neither was obesity, I'll wager. Saber-tooth tigers, maybe.

It gets worse. As usual, California leads the way (to perdition). They now have a "pilot" program to tax mileage (they say "instead of" but we all know it's really "in addition to" gasoline).
More fuel efficient cars? Yay, taxing gasoline cut consumption!
But ... that cuts the tax revenue from gasoline! We must tax something else, or how will we get the money we're going to waste?

The earliest known description of cancer dates back to 3000 BC in Egypt.
The name "cancer" was coined by Hippocrates himself around 400 BC.
Cancer means crab and it describes the crab-like growth pattern of the disease.

Corporations don't pay taxes; they effectively just collect them for the government. If they're all taxed at the same rate, corporations just pass on the cost to consumers. Upshot: government gets the money, but the corporations get the heat for raising prices.

Yep. And the late unlamented DDR showed the rationale: the state had paid for people's education, and so they had to pay back before they left. So now you know where that "free college" is coming from, and where it's going to go.
Notice also the DDR was perfectly happy to let the old and the sick leave; they just wanted the young and the healthy, so they could squeeze the juice out of them.

Geez, what do they do when she is getting on a plane? Literally have to carry her?
Every time I see her with secret service, I flash to her various comments to and about the SS that have leaked out over the years. I could not detest a person more than one who treats someone who will take a bullet for you like dirt.

Yep. And the late unlamented DDR showed the
rationale: the state had paid for people's education, and so they had to
pay back before they left. So now you know where that "free college" is
coming from, and where it's going to go.
Notice also the DDR was perfectly happy to let the old and the sick
leave; they just wanted the young and the healthy, so they could squeeze
the juice out of them.

It's not just a case of preventing citizens from moving out of the country, it also applies to movement INSIDE the borders. Hence the commie fetish for internal passports and residence permits.

I guess I view hanged as the "long drop" wherein the neck is broken by the drop so the hangee doesn't suffocate to death whereas I viewed hanging as a form of "short drop" wherein the hangee is deliberately left to suffocate.
I think there is little doubt the good Iranian doctor so casually betrayed by Hillary was provided the equivalent of the short drop crane elevation hanging!

There are two verbs "to hang." The past tense of the one that refers to suspension generally is "hung." The past tense of the other one, the one that refers to the method of execution, is "hanged."

This was actually lampooned by Robert Heinlein in one of his "juveniles", Rocket Ship Galileo. I think the article was actually retracted in 1969, just prior to the Apollo 11 moonflight.
I think the original article in the Times was critical of early experimental rocketry research being reported about Robert Goddard.

Controlling internal movements is crucial to running a command economy. If you set prices and wages centrally, they'll be way off in some places, and people will thunder there. Imagine if you set rents and wages everywhere at Manhattan levels, or at North Dakota levels.
The only way to prevent chaos is to prevent people, goods, and services from moving freely.

1) I wonder if the press is merely covering for her because she is the front runner. They do not think her various maladies (a fun word, wish I got to use it more) are that serious. And are just brazenly in the tank. They have convinced themselves that it is all physical.
2) They feel like they are the modern day versions of the journalists who hid how badly FDR was physically infirm. All political junkies do this (left and right.) FDR was their Godot, just as Reagan was ours.

This all goes back to the thing that changed around 30 years ago. I remember reading an article which said the most popular answer to the question "Why do you want to be a journalist?" changed from "I want to report/publicize the truth." to "I want to change the world." around that time.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at August 07, 2016 04:38 PM (WV3Yp)
And the press obeyed, pretty much, with the taboo pictures of FDR. It was a rare photo that was released showing his physical disability. They were obliging even back then. There is a word for that, something Clint Eastwood used the other day....

That picture of Hillary being helped up the steps doesn't look right. Somethings...I don't know.
I hope Trump doesn't say anything about it. Could be a trap.

I kind of thought the same thing. Is it a photoshop? But then why is the press not allowed to photograph her getting on/off airplane? She must be struggling with something or other.

-------------------------
I doubt it's fake, since one of them is watermarked with Reuters and another with Getty Images with the name of the photographer, Mark Makela.

Perhaps we can come to a compromise- put all Libs in the Sahara (or somewhere else remote) and we'll just nuke them. They get their holocaust and we get our peace and quiet.

The hipster writer elites at the NYTimes were just being ironic. It's the neaderthal right wingers who don't recognize good writing when they attempt to read it.

they're ANY journalists left who, you know, want to actually be a journalist?
They may be wrong much of the time, but I think weathermen do their best.
Sorry, I sat through one too many breakfast lectures about global warming by a Canadian with Shep Smith eye-tucks in LA.

My wife thinks the girl in that commercial is cute. Does anybody else get a pet-bunny-in-the-pot vibe off her character?
No, NOT my wife.
