Riveting actor, also, the best male chauvinist ever [1]. RIP you magnificent Bond. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzXkbJwrN38

Do you stand on a sled?

Some great tips there, but no mention of tires. So much depends on good tires matched to terrain. Sand wants the wide knobby tires all the necks love for urban and rural asphalt, f…

How far can one take the GP's hasty generalizations straw man ad hominem argument? Well, pretty far, I guess. Fallacy hat trick! There sure is no accounting for logic at HN. Wow. W…

Did you notice GP's hasty generalization wrapped in a straw man? Not to mention the implied ad hominem. Also, the false equivalence of macho = alpha. GP's argument is fallacy upon …

I really don't know what you're talking about. But I do recognize a hasty generalization wrapped inside a straw man. Not sure why I'm bothering with your bully's argument. I said R…

I think it is far simpler than that. He is macho, and that is popular due to evolution. The meanest monkey has the most offspring, but the meanest monkey has turned into the one no…

Not quite right. Rather, either it is adopted by the adult entertainment industry first, then spreads to other spaces like medical applications, or it goes no where.

That racists exist is not a valid argument. And you heard it here first, no Republican will see the inside of the Oval Office until maybe 2037, and you have yourself and Trump to t…

This administration's xenophobia is really starting to annoy. But the silver lining is that at least President Trump and his supporters have all but guaranteed 16 years of Democrat…

Fair enough. May I suggest that it is the depreciation of the family unit that may be causing this. Generally, in my experience, jerks had crummy parents. I don't know the solution…

First of all, the complainers do not speak for me, yet they seem to be speaking for everyone, that everyone has this problem because of 24-hour notice of the release of iOS14. Anyo…

> about the deaths of millions of people when it comes to environmental destruction You're not getting it. With global environmental catastrophe the concern is not about the deaths…

While Homebrew defaults to binary, it can build from source, though it tends to leave behind a bloody mess when it does. MacPorts has excellent housekeeping, which is controlled th…

I recommend macports package management system, similar in function to BSD ports collection. Superior to Homebrew, the johnny-come-lately PMS with all the penguinista-style hype th…

Those special f/x are really slick. Always nice to see new Terminal development.

Ad hominem is not simply an attack; it's disparaging someone to undermine their argument. Which is why it is also fallacy. Attacking the man does not undermine the argument, so the…

So in one breath you're saying GR would have appeared quickly if Einstein had not described it, and in the other you're saying he was the legend of his myth and productive his enti…

No, I was correct. Ad hominem is an attack. I have not attacked you, and I do not see how you could find ad hominem in my replies. Unfounded paranoia is probably not something you …

The specific fallacies you have chosen to employ to attempt support your frail argument are interesting. I have read Special Relativity in translation, it is short enough and there…

I disagree as to your opinions, which seem to just disagree for the sake of disagreement. The elements of Special Relativity were around. I stand by the assertion that someone else…

I'd also like to point out that Einstein was humble, and the myth of Einstein that developed was not his doing. It was the common man, the everyday people and the press of the time…

It is in the ballpark. The point is that Einstein did not pull a rabbit out of his hat, others had thought similar weirdness, and Einstein was aware of it.

Shamefully, everything is from Wikipedia, so the citations are there.

Fair enough, though I was comparing him to his peers and friends.
