Stultus Maximus posted:Neanderthals didn't live in the Americas.  there's abso fuckin lutely nothing in the archaeological, anthropological, or paleological record that supports such a horseshit mythLike there's tenuous evidence that Polynesians were landing in Chile but not before the (generally accepted iirc) 12-15k bce beringia migration period. And even that hypothesis is considered closer to tinfoil than truth, mainly because of the lack of actual evidence. By tenuous I mean "they have similar words for things" which as you may guess does not really speak directly to the hypothesis. FAUXTON fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Best estimates using carbon isotope place the date at about 15ka, so actually just a bit older than the oldest material markers in North America. That's rad as hell and thanks for the book rec!

bird food bathtub posted:There's also a loooooot of racist poo poo to unpack in the founding myth that settlers came to north america, found just a few scattered camps of savages that they had some minor fights with and then *poof* there was a country to settle in that the previous inhabitants weren't really using so we didn't do a bad thing. Wasn't there a passage in 1491 that described settlers happening across whole areas strewn with unburied bones? E: I mean given our modern knowledge of epidemiology it should be very fuckin apparent that the Americas were not only far from empty, but populated with a dense web of complex civilizations who had enough contact with each other to spread smallpox and god knows what else from Mexico to Massachusetts.

One of the major abrahamic world religions (the one with ritual symbolic cannibalism) has numerous apocalyptic death-worshipping sects and our government is infested with those apocalyptic death-worshippers, who think their apocalypse is gonna start in Israel so they're obsessed with making sure they're on good terms with the people who run the place there when it does.

piL posted:Wait, seriously? I have a hard time believing personal rain collection systems on non-industrial/commercial scale can really be sufficiently high to affect aquifers. Even if residential land turned half their acreage in urban areas to rain collection it still wouldn't come close to matching the non residential coverage. I assume most residential rain collection systems would be much less than half of residential land outside the urban centers. Yeah it's almost certainly a skeeterborne illness prevention effort, between meningitis, zika, west nile, and all manner of lower-likelihood-but-worse stuff it's a lot easier to dump standing water than the alternative given the prevalence of bugchasing child abusers denying their kids medical care. Unless people are diverting water out of the street it's not a water rights or hydrologic cycle concern.

The 1944 one was basically a test flight for the system, but the US took one home in 1946 and launched it from White Sands with a camera on it, resulting in the first pictures of the earth from space (as in technically above the Karman line):

Before you all get too drunk and despondent to read, keep in mind there's like a dozen factors unique to the UK that were pushing on that election, not least the fact that Labour itself was a party fracturing at the seams over brexit yet managed to pick as leader a guy that was not all that well liked even before the media started beating him with the ugly stick. Minor parties in the US are thoroughly ephemeral balls of vapor compared to the spoiler effect brexit leveraged against labour specifically. Corbyn's favorability is like -40 not including how people feel about him tonight. Bernie is like -3. The rest of the likely Dem field is less favorable than Bernie but still more than 20 points north of Corbyn. People voted on Corbyn, according what's coming out of the UK. That's not going on here for anyone other than Trump, and it's already flipped the house plus a bunch of state legislatures. The media's far more balkanized here and an attempt to smear Bernie won't go anywhere near as far. I ain't guaranteeing a bernie nomination or even a win, but if people are thinking Corbyn is a Bernie analogue, he's not, Labour is a radically different beast from the Dems, and Boris isn't in the midst of an impeachment which last I checked was enjoying a slim majority in public support.
