Hmm, that's not how I remember it. I can't find any references, but my recollection is that they chose Titan specifically because of its potential for life. The rest of the moons were mostly boring, desolate rocks, but Titan has a thick atmosphere and was overflowing with hydrocarbons...

You know what makes me sad? That every article on this topic mentions that the reason they deliberately destroyed it was to avoid risking contaminating two moons (Enceladus and Titan) that could potentially harbour life. Except that they've already potentially contaminated Titan when they...

At the risk of offending you further, you just made my point for me, perfectly. You clearly care deeply about the cause of brain cancer. Not because you objectively evaluated all of the issues affecting mankind and decided that brain cancer is the most serious one where your attention could...

Nice pivot. They were "yes" or "no" questions. 3 of them. I think you've made your answers pretty clear, but it'd still be interesting to see whether or not you have the chutzpah to actually answer them directly.

Are you seriously proposing that we just let people die of perfectly treatable conditions, simply because of an inability to pay? Do you really want to live in a world where people are allowed to just literally die on the door step of a hospital because their credit card was declined? A...

Of course, but it doesn't make sense. "People will discriminate, let's provide an environment where it doesn't flourish." By LETTING people discriminate as much as they want? That's the exact OPPOSITE of discouraging it! Forcing businesses to serve everyone normalizes diversity. Over the long...

You missed my points. There aren't enough Muslims in Backwoods, Kentucky to support a bakery exclusively for them (or whatever other service you want to allow to discriminate). And some areas of the country are more racist than you seem to think. Nobody in Kentucky is going to organize a...

OK, picture a quiet little town in the deep South. There are 2 bakeries, and they both post signs on their doors saying, "We don't serve Muslims." A Muslim couple living in the town wants to get married. Neither baker will make their cake for them. So in your world, they'd ... what? Go to...

Length is great, but the phrase from which it is derived is complicated, and you've got a special character ('$') standing in for an 'S'. Are you going to remember that whole phrase? Are you going to remember where you swapped in the weird character? Was it a zero for an 'O'? or a one for an...

I clicked on a clickbait link once, and you won't BELIEVE what happened next ... <<Next>>

You can get lung cancer without being a smoker. And the woman with COPD is also morbidly obese. I'll concede that breathing in all that smoke certainly didn't make them any healthier. I'll even concede that it probably even contributed to their illnesses. But who are these people? A couple...

You're confused. I'm not saying smoking doesn't kill. I'm saying second hand smoke doesn't kill. Yes, cigarette smoke contains lots of nasty stuff. And when you inhale it directly from the tip of a cigarette, you're getting a concentrated dose of it. But the trace wisps of it, just...

How about this rule? Your password must be at least 8 characters long. If it's less than 14 characters long, then all those dumb rules can still apply. But if it's 14 characters or longer, the rules get much more lenient, basically just preventing me from using a password of...

Those are all terrible passwords. My pet peeve is dumb password rules. It has to have an uppercase, a lowercase, a number, a symbol, can't contain any words that are in the dictionary, can't include the same letter back-to-back... It's focusing on the wrong thing. You were close, when you...

Of course you do: Rock Hudson, Freddy Mercury, Arthur Ashe, Liberace, Isaac Asimov... Now name one celebrity who died from second hand smoke. Just one. You mention you know people with HIV who are still living (so do I: Magic Johnson, Charlie Sheen, Greg Louganis) - know anyone suffering...

We can all name family members, celebrities, athletes, politicians, whatever, who have died from cancer, car crashes, plane crashes, shootings, kidney failure, drug overdoses, whatever. And yet I can't come up with a single name of anyone who would have lived, had it not been for second-hand...

I'm not convinced second hand smoke is a real thing. If it's such a real scourge, how come none of us know anyone who's died from it? No one in our personal lives, no actors, no athletes, no politicians, no one. If it's such a silent killer, why haven't we heard of anyone dying from it? Where's...

Just to be clear, I was being satirical to highlight the absurdity of the notion that government should keep its nose entirely out of how private businesses are run. I don't actually own a restaurant, but if I did, I would not only adhere to food inspection and storage regulations, but I'd...

I agree. I own a restaurant, and I'm sick of "The Man" telling me what temperature I have to keep my walk-in at, or demanding that I store my cooked meat separate from my raw meat, or making me wash my hands so often, or insisting that I throw meat away just because it's older than some...
