Why not say “every month they match the annual output of the rest of Europe”.

I thought Pushing Tin was the aircraft controllers movie.

Olive.

Season one of Twin Peaks. Never should have been a season two. I’m ambivalent about Fire Walk With Me. Season 3 was a nice touch.

This wasn’t a published study. This was beers with the folks in the genetics lab at the hospital I worked at. No patient names or other identifying information was involved. They did tissue matching etc. and ran into the issue all the time. On a personal note two close friends have found out they had different biological dads than they thought they did. So maybe my perspective is skewed somewhat.

Incredibly common. I haven’t seen any recent estimates but I recall at one time that ~15% of children did not have the biological fathers than they thought they did. It’s not to point the finger at women - rates of infidelity may be even higher among men, it’s just harder to track independently.

I’m a scholar. It means not pulling stuff from your ass and citing your sources.

Technology can therefore be defined both as an ensemble of deliberately created processes and objects that together accomplish some function as well as the associated knowledge and skills used in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of such technological artifacts.

Start with your silly claim that “advertising”, as you define it, occurred 30,000 years ago. Any non-suppositional evidence please.

What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.

Advertising is not a technology and there is no evidence that advertising occured 30,000 years ago. That time period predates capitalism, products and competition among manufacturers, and written language.

Go fuck yourself. This is someone who was a child when he watched his friends die to a school shooter. And then faced the worst that the rightwing noise machine could throw at him as they accused him of being a crisis actor and denied that the event happened at all. He has been attacked by politicians and media since before his voice changed. So fuck off with your milquetoast judgments about how something seems a bit “off” with his public persona.

Holy shit that’s low. I was asking for £35k in 2004 for a technical role. They wanted to pay 17.

Just bewilderment. Because snubbing Harris will get you Trump. Who’s a great friend to Gaza /s. So cui bono?
