Posted in: Scientists look beyond climate change and El Nino for other factors that heat up Earth See in context

Just because different computer simulations conflict with each other "that doesn’t mean science is wrong,” University of Colorado's Clyne said. “It just means that we haven’t reached a consensus yet. We’re still just figuring it out.”

Let's see the idiots try to explain this one

US and NATO are winning. Each day that passes Russia is continuing to lose people and getting weaker militarily and economically,

Russia is getting weaker without having to sacrifice any US or NATO lives

If that is the case, then all the vaccines you've had up to now will be null and void

Doesn't matter much now even if true, they've served their purpose protecting against earlier deadlier variants , which made a lot of the unvaccinated become null and void

Positive news about Russia, how odd.

Of course positive only in the sense that there seems no negative spin on the reporting, just objective narration, which is how news reporting should be

Aso, vice president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), said in Taipei that Japan, the United States and others must show strong resolve to come to Taiwan's defense if it were attacked, signaling deterrence against China.

Posted in: U.S. lab repeats nuclear fusion feat, with higher yield See in context

During December's experiment, the lab used 192 ultra-powerful lasers to deliver 2.05 megajoules of energy to a tiny capsule smaller than a pea containing isotopes of hydrogen. It produced 3.15 megajoules of fusion energy output.

> While the result was a net energy gain, 300 megajoules of energy was needed from the electrical grid to power the lasers.

Long way indeed

As far as I am concerned a private university can admit anyone for any reason.

Of course.

But that reason has to be applied to everyone equally no discrimination.

Posted in: Tokyo entertainment complex remodels restroom to remove gender-neutral setup See in context

Gender-neutral restrooms aren’t unheard of in Japan, and are in fact fairly common in small shops and restaurants, which may only have one or two booths for the whole facility.

But those restrooms are meant for use by only one person at a time. Haven't seen one meant to be used by more than one at the same time

If it's only that then you could just easily post the figures.

But you said first the BBC offers a much more positive assessment.

So what much more positive assessment?

Should be helpful to all readers to just cut and paste the assessment here also
