Whatever "new" atheists sound more like engineers. Engineers are dicks.

Science is just a way of knowing something. It's knowledge. Morality isn't about what you know, it's what you do.

I believe humanity's evolutionary advantage is our ability to cooperate. But it's for better or worse.

What is a "practicing" atheist? Am I doing it wrong?

Well, if it's already ------, the point is moot, lol.

I'm not totally familiar with the hydrogeology of Gaza. But, usually, coastal aquifers sit on top saline groundwater, separated by a "lens" because of different densities.

Infiltration by saline water dissolves the lense, so the freshwater becomes brackish. It doesn't repair in timescales meaningful to humans.

Aquifer implies yield at economic cost, meaning it has to be economically feasible to retrieve the water. One could de-ionize, but it's cheaper to use seawater, so not really feasible, no more aquifer.

Gaza city is 14 m above sea level.

This will permanently make the underlying aquifer undrinkable and unsuitable for agriculture. It will cease to be an aquifer.

Trump doesn't care if Obamacare is good or bad. He cares that we call it Obamacare, and not Trumpcare.

That's all it's about.

Only with Republican math does $24 million = 3*$1,380

why do we seem to assume we are the most intelligent?

It says so in the Bible.

I'm not religious, and I still have my grandmother's old King James. It seems like an ancient relic, a part of history. It's got her notes in the margins, underlined passages. I might even have it rebound.

So, even a heathen like me has a bible, but not Ronny?

The nutjob MT GOP, in total control, managed to flush an entire legislative session by passing obviously illegal laws that are getting knocked down in court, one after another. All the better, I suppose, but defending them in court has cost millions for nothing. (how conservative, I know)

GOPers are impotent when it comes to governing. The MT GOP is a great example. So is the US House.

GOPers should blame themselves, but they can't because lIbErAlS.

three Palestinian students shot in Vermont

Or, if you as MAGA, three vermin shot in Vermont.

BTW, the shooter looks exactly like what I see in my mind when I think tweeker Trumper.

Trump's stance on abortion is whatever it needs to be to please whomever he is talking to at the time.

But he understands forced birth is a vote loser, and has admitted as much privately.

And Trump needs the abortion issue to be more than a vote loser, but an election loser. That way, he can blame the forced-birth policies, not his MAGA agenda or election denials, for 6 years of poor performance by republicans in the generals.

So, yeah, I suppose you could call that a moderate stance on abortion. But, he really doesn't have another option.

'This Guy Is a Charlatan'

But he's a 'yes man' for DeSantis, so, here we are.

A PhD biologist told me the way to get rid of an invasive species is to spread the word that it is delicious.

Just don't catch yourself some trichinosis. Cook to at least 165F!

Can it be broken into smaller parts and taken to places that could use it?

Indeed it can. We call it evaporation.

Typical Kiss fans.

I imagine a Bentley sedan can reach a hundo pretty quick.

I let people call themselves whatever they like.

And I'll address them however they prefer.

It costs me nothing.

namely the US.

Y'all been saying that since Reagan.

No link, it was a joke.

This kinda talk is at the height of ridiculous superstition.

Inflation isn't falling the rate of change is lower, .
