Golf is a good walk spoilt. This was obviously written by someone who was shit at golf. (Mark Twain)

@Kharayat2Nitin @engineers_feed Forgot you order of operations - you need brackets 2x(2+1)

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@Sal68622819 @KatieMiller That is very interesting - can you send the links to the sources that you used to draw this conclusion so I can evaluate myself?

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@skdh I suppose the 'speed of dark' must be faster than the speed of light, because when you switch the light on, the dark is always able to get out of the way??

@Bella6Michelle @JamesTate121 Trump said, as a criticism of Obama, that he would be 'too busy to play golf'.

He then proceeded to spend circa $150M of tax payers money to play golf whilst in office.

Just saying

@autocorrect2_0 @DW2025X In fairness, the scientific method of hypothesis, observation, modelling and deductive reasoning didn't really exist until 1300's & was used more extensively from 1600's.

This has given us all our wisdom about the world. I chose this path, because it demonstrably works!

@restlow @jp_caz @DrNeilStone @grok If there was a vaccine to prevent 'stupid', it would have the biggest impact if it was administered in the red states of the US.

@0nlyHalfEvil @KayfabeMark @AtheistPhoenix 1. Not a clue
2. Invisible like a black cat in a black room
3. Silent

To be honest, I really need a bit more to go on if I am to conclude it exists!

My standards of evidence are somewhat higher than theists.

@Iluvalar1 @Ah_Science @thehealthb0t I am away physicist, not a biologist, but I once heard that we share 25% of DNA with a lettuce.

For some people, I would have thought it was significantly higher?

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

That joke is shocking

[Pulverlakrits 🔺 @IchimusaiSWE]

@H0H0v He might be shocked and awed but not from electricity. However in the picture he's feets are perilously close to the ground. This could *potentially* be a problem...

The distance to the sun varies annually between 91.5 and 94.6 million miles.

Your argument of 1 mile closer/further away is wrong. Sorry

[cat @catcanttrade]

@Lilith_Atheist If the Sun were a mile closer, we would all burn to death. A mile further, we would all freeze to death.

I don’t believe in coincidences

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@turnerwestvan @AnnieForTruth The less stupid republicans are leaving.

This concentrates more and more stupidity into less and less people.

A bit like a distillery for stupid?

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@AnnieForTruth @daij1960 Wow, a Trump supporter who knows how to do percentages.

Admittedly, didn't apply percentages correctly, but nevertheless they add up to 100%.

Progress!!

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@engineers_feed Orbit period depends on distance from planet.

Having different orbit times puts them at different altitudes, therefore they cannot collide?

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@galwithapurpose @SpencerHakimian You are absolutely correct. Trump is a compulsive liar. As a non American, I find it incredulous that so many voted for him knowing he was convicted of fraud and sexual assault.

[John Willmott @JFWillmott]

@LBC Didn't Trump once say he 'loves the uneducated' aka Maga?

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Education's biggest secret that lies in plain sight is this: the culture of many schools, and the outcomes of their students, is dominated by the social strata and economic circumstances of the cohort's families. Put simply, children from circumstances of poverty, neglect, abuse, lack etc are disproportionately exposed to risk factors that reduce and frustrate their opportunities to flourish at school and in life. This isn't (or shouldn't be) a controversial thing to say. 🧵

Of course this is probability not destiny: kids with every advantage can do badly. Children with nothing sometimes win everything. But when it comes to games of chance, the house usually wins.

Why do most kids grade so well in an independent school? It's not because of the teaching, which is very, very similar to state ed teaching. It's largely because of the social, cultural and educational capital inherited and absorbed from the home environment. Why do kids do so well in a grammar school? Because they are largely captured from the most able and academic cohort of children. Guess what happens when you put them all in one place? They do rather well. FANCY THAT.

That DHMO (di-hydrogen monoxide) is evil stuff. There are many deaths here in the uk due to the inhalation of DHMO. Should be banned!

[Integritytom @justtom53]

@ShadowofEzra @werinamess I do agree. Even if they’re not actually controlling the weather, there’s no need to have chemicals like that in our atmosphere
