I hate it when the people in charge want to operate in denial. Canada is just emerging from a decade of this shit. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 23, 07:44 18
- You know science spending didn't actually go down during that decade? But there was a shift towards university research vs. gov't labs. -- nm* - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 08:03 14
  - It was my understanding that funding had also been reduced, but as already stated in the thread, there is more than one way to squash science, -- nm - Beryllium Nov 23, 08:12 3
    - Or, if not reduced, then perhaps reallocated to other areas - which might not be so bad, if it was (for example) cancer research - Beryllium Nov 23, 08:13 2
      - (though it's when oil prices are low that R&D into oil extraction technology is essential) - Roger More Nov 23, 08:18 1
        
        Your IM is exactly that. Practical application was a phrase that came up routinely prior to the shift in direction. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 08:22
  - It's more than just total $$$ though - there were decisions about where funding was directed, whether government scientists could speak publicly, etc -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 08:08 9
    - it was the 'speak publically' part that i found the most disturbing. -- nm - Andie Nov 23, 08:08 8
      - Data tabled quietly this year showed 1,500 government scientist interviews in the year leading up to last year's election. -- (link) - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 08:21 7
        
        if it wasn't/isn't so egregious, why did so many scientists complain about feeling muzzled? -- (edited) - Andie Nov 23, 08:29 6
        
        Because the rules changed towards increased message discipline and people with the title Doctor don't like being told what they can or cannot do? - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 08:41 5
        
        That's reading the worst into the motivation, IMO. Science is developed through open discussion of ideas and evidence, so it should be no surprise - Roger More Nov 23, 08:44 4
        
        *shrug* They may not like the title, but they are bureaucrats when they are one of the 39,000 gov't scientists. Bureaucrats don't speak on policy. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 08:49 3
        
        Scientific research might (or might not) support policy decisions, but it's not policy. -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 08:57 2
        
        No, but commenting on the why particular research is or isn't useful can be policy decisions. - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 09:01 1
        
        A) That's not helpful in knowing what interviews etc did not happen, and why. B) Same rules + different people = different practices. -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 09:09
- Make Canada Great Again -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 23, 07:46 2
  - It's just the whole "I don't like this"/"I don't like hearing about this from the public" mentality. Just because you stop observing something ... - Beryllium Nov 23, 07:54 1
    - Are you sure, because I'd like to stop observing Venus at night and make it join some other solar system -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 08:21
Moana hooks record $2.6 million Tuesday -- (link) - budice Nov 23, 07:40 4
- there is nothing the Rock does not make better. -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 07:41 3
  - Miracle Whip? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 23, 07:43 2
    - I'd lick Miracle Whip off The Rock. -- nm - Dano Nov 23, 07:44 1
      - that's not Miracle Whip -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 07:44
hmmm, Dak Prescott off waivers, thankyouverymuch -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 07:39 27
- If that's a keeper league, great pickup. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 23, 08:22 24
  - ya'll let me pick up Big freaking Ben off waivers in Astro this year smh -- nm - ML Nov 23, 08:33 3
    - I can't believe I got all four of my waiver requests last week - crash davis Nov 23, 08:39
    - If I wasn't moving and totally mobile, that wouldn't have happened. - Will Hunting Nov 23, 08:35
    - I find in most of my leagues, that Big Ben is always underrated. -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 08:35
  - didn't you have a line about the cavemanniest Caveman thing you ever heartd? - crash davis Nov 23, 08:24 19
    - and the kicker is, that I am in 1st place, and he made it THROUGH WAIVERS so I could get him. -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 08:25 18
      - I had him but also have Wilson and he's turned a corner. Can't take up the spot for my repeat Championship -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 08:39 2
        
        since I had been in first since day one until this week, that is..... - groiny Nov 23, 08:44 1
        
        repeat! - Beaker Nov 23, 08:45
      - I can defend it...depending on who their other QB was. - Will Hunting Nov 23, 08:28 12
        
        I'd hold onto him and try to trade him in the offseason before the draft. One moment of offseason glory in Astros for me was when I traded - crash davis Nov 23, 08:31 6
        
        Hint: Cavemen don't trade (for the most part) -- nm* - Beaker Nov 23, 08:40 5
        
        what the hell? -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 08:41 4
        
        I think we average 1 maybe 2 trades a year -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 08:43 2
        
        yes, it is rough to trade in there, I am enjoying my Jeremy Langford for Andrew Luck trade this year though. -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 08:46 1
        
        THANKS DAVID!!!! -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 08:46
        
        It takes them 12 days to draft. They only get 12 days of fantasy thought per year. Nothing left over. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 23, 08:43
        
        and even so, you can possibly trade him at any point before keepers are announced. - groiny Nov 23, 08:30 1
        
        Might be a playoff contender...a need to play to win now. - Will Hunting Nov 23, 08:32
        
        well, I have Luck as my starter, and getting a body like Prescott off waivers is a lifesaver - groiny Nov 23, 08:29 2
        
        That's a good pickup for you...you should be able trade one of them in the offseason. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 23, 08:31
        
        Yeah, same here. I got Cousins in Astronauts. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 23, 08:30
      - personal milestone, the first time I've used this acronym on ST: *SMH* -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 08:27
      - I take that back, I dropped to 3rd this week, but still.... -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 08:26
- what league? -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 08:21 1
  - Cavemen -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 08:22
"ESPN's Dianna Russini reports Rob Gronkowski (lung) is not expected to play Week 12 against the Jets." -- nm - ML Nov 23, 07:37 3
- In a money league [where I'm 2nd place with a loaded roster and] where TE keepers have to burn the FLEX spot, I unloaded Gronk and Bernard to get Blount and a higher draft pick last week. -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Nov 23, 07:46
- "Gronk no need no lung!" -- nm - groiny Nov 23, 07:38 1
  - he's got a spare! -- nm - decline Nov 23, 07:38

    - I just do not care for the design. The eyes are just too... ugh. The cowl neutralizes it enough that I like it, though. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 23, 08:04 3
      - mostly, I agree, but there are some I just have to get on principal. - groiny Nov 23, 08:05 2
        
        Oh, I can totally understand that. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 23, 08:05 1
