Deniers ALWAYS cherry pick data and point out what scientists get wrong while never acknowledging what it gets right. Here is a nice article that sums things up. https://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-s-long-term-climate-predictions-are-accurate-to-within-1-20th-of-a-degree/amp "In this new study, NASA scientists analyzed the GISTEMP data to see if past predictions of rising temperatures were accurate. They needed to know that any uncertainty within their data was correctly accounted for. The goal was to make sure that the models they use are robust enough to rely on in the future. The answer: Yes they are. Within 1/20th a degree Celsius. Kudos. "Uncertainty is important to understand because we know that in the real world we don't know everything perfectly," said Gavin Schmidt, director of GISS and a co-author on the study. "All science is based on knowing the limitations of the numbers that you come up with, and those uncertainties can determine whether what you're seeing is a shift or a change that is actually important." This is scientific rigour at its finest. To a climate change denier, it may seem like ammo. But the reverse is true. NASA is determined to understand their GISTEMP data to the best of their capability, and they acknowledge, like all scientists should, any weakness in their own data and then seek to quantify it."

Amash at it again. This time taking aim at AG Barr. Click for full thread- it's a good read as it lays out all the issues with Barr in a concise fashion.

Not a far leap of logic. Putin asked: Cease military maneuvers around south Korea. Leave Syria Ease sanctions on oligarchs To which trump acquiesced to.

Interesting Take on this issue... Can you provide any facts to back up this talk of flooding districts with illegal immigrants, please? Because that sounds like a serious issue that should be addressed. I remember Lou Dobbs claiming that "many" Illegal immigrants voted in 2018... but there is no evidence at all... and since the absence of proof, we need to go on the credibility of Lou Dobbs... who has a very spotty past with the truth. Here is quick article on that issue. https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2018/nov/16/lou-dobbs/no-evidence-many-illegal-immigrants-voted-midterm-/ But gerrymandering... that is a real thing, not made up **** like thousands of illegals voting. besides... why shouldn't illegal immigrants vote? Are they not part of the political discussion?

Usually it's those at the top that make these spurious claims, knowingly they are blatantly false, let the echo chamber take hold and those down the line parroting the misinformation because they don't understand the issue. That has been my observation.

So... why do I even try to have a sterling credit rating? https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-inc-podcast-deutsche-bank-donald-trump?utm_content=buffer25ab1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer Never even considered the "**** off, I ain't paying for **** and it's your fault for this, so I'll see you court." Strategy.

2019 Main Training Camp
Hey- the seperate training camp days is a great idea- you should start a thread for each day of training camp. that is a very good suggestion, you should pull the trigger and do it. This is a community driven site- if you feel you its lacking in something, feel free to suggest and/or just add it. If it is unnecessary or inappropriate- the mods will take care of it. if you disagree with them, feel free to pm them and find out why or what happened. they are an approachable bunch.

You know that there are some people that will still talk about the uncertainty and/or error in the data. Any ways, thanks for posting this.

Sure thing- if you don't really care about a deep dive into Bomber news, the subreddit is great. I feel this site and ones like it, are more for the fans who want a deep dive instead of a general "skimming of surface" news. I am interested in minutiae of what's happening in the one on one drills and the 12 on 12s in training camp. I want to know that Adams had to get talked down by OSH after a full blown fight in main camp. I like to be informed of the post practice practice that Matthews is holding for the newer guys. I like the crazy insight some of the posters have about the game and our team ( @Booch, I'm looking at you!). The ever consistent dissenting opinions of a few certain posters. I like the community that has been foster here and the other site, good people all with interesting things to say and differing points of view. It's stuff like that I feel I get more out of this site than a subreddit.
