Go to the local pound and see if they'll lend you some traps.

Your feelings on String theory. Will it ever be Popper falsifiable or should string theorists just let it go? I believe string theory to be the best explanation for our universe (and possibly other universes). The only qualm is that a lot of popular string theory hinges on the Higgs boson, which (in my opinion) has yet to be found. The current smallest particle lies between the thresholds of super-symmetry and instability, so in that regard we're kind of at a dead end until more testing can be done next year.
How do you feel about our ability to gain a *real foothold in outer space and turn our species into a solar system spanning one and what do you feel are the most important technological developments to make that happen. I'm not a huge fan of Halo-like human colonization of other planets. What I'd like to see is a way for us to extract resources from extraterrestrial bodies and use those resources to advance life here on Earth.
Are you referring to supersymmetry? The Higgs boson has been by all accounts found, it was never necessarily a prediction of string theory anyway. Supersymmetry, which is a generic requirement/prediction for most models of string theory(not all, this plays into one of my main problems w/string theory) has not however. One of my main problems w/string theory is the fact that it seems to be able to predict whatever you want it to. I don't see how that sort of theory can be falsifiable. That and over reliance on anthropic reasoning by a number of theorists is questionable to me. In reply to your statement about space colonization, I have to disagree. The idea that humanity can go on surviving, hoping for our own security on this one rock is questionable to me. In fact, real quick, look up an emerging method of manufacturing in zero g. That's going to be important. People will follow the industry.

Do you hold that to be the sort of epistemic threshold?
To me the ability for a model to produce falsifiable predictions is how a scientific theory is differentiated from metaphysical musing.
eh... I... what?
The first and most important requirement a scientific theory must meet is that it must produce predictions that you can check. If the predictions are wrong the theory can be discarded, if the predictions check out, however, it still has other requirements to meet and ideally should keep making falsifiable predictions.

I'm sorry but we're not all pious, freedom-hating, oligarchy-loving, fat, ungrateful citizens of the United States of Arseholes
Wow, one guy who, judging by style and image quality, is from late 90s early 00s
out of all the bongs on this site you are the bongiest, in the worst way possible. Go sweep a chimney.

Can put a tiny one on von Braun?
Unless you think it would be too small.
I cropped it a little to see if that would help. And you also have a choice between normal and grey scale.
omg, I don't know which to pick. How long have you been doing these today?

What is your main gaming system?
don't really have a main one anymore.
I play on PC mostly now but it's a weakass laptop.

It's an objective fact though.
You probably don't go out much then.
Been all around the east coast, only thing that comes close to Florida is Georgia.
can confirm

 Well, what would you expect.
And to be fair, he WAS restrained in his retaliation. He coulda outright knocked her the fuck out if he closed his palm on that woman. The *SMACK* is clear to be heard that he slapped with the intention of her to fuck off, not break her face.
true that, if that dude had of punched her she might not have got back up.

Only a pussy would hit a women
she completely deserved what she got
pussys be like
Pussies be like this guy, white knighting cunts who start shit and blindly ride to their defense
I'm not whiteknighting lol, I just think you can avoid having to hit someone. You're probably the same kinda guy to keep quiet if a big dude started trouble with you but against a women nah you're quick to start swinging fists.
Nice assumption but that's not how it works. Any normal decent person will step in to stop anything that appears unjust. Gender shouldn't matter. Also speaking for myself here, I probably would've been one of the people to try and break up the fight but I'd still agree that she deserved what she got.
except I know im right.
"she got what she deserved"
The video provides no context other than a girl up close to a guy then he hits her
No shows her talking shit to a stranger minding his own business. She then goes and tries to break the camera guys camera. Other dude walks by her presumably to switch cars and she knocks him across the back of the head w/ her shoes.
I've only seen the vine
Understandable then. I just don't understand what her problem was. You don't just hit random strangers and expect them not to retaliate.

Way I see it maybe she'll think twice before hitting and fucking w/ a random stranger. This dude may have even saved her from getting herself killed by someone slightly less well hinged.

If the image was cropped then maybe. If not I think it would just look like a red dot once it was on your avatar.
yeah.

Too small.
