If there were people in the photo conducting a celebration, that would let you know that it was the solstice, because people aren't allowed near the stones at other times.

I doubt, though, that that is common knowledge to anyone from outside of the UK, so whoever designed that test has an unconscious bias.

The insurance companies saw this coming. That's why they have the clauses that exclude flood damage.

I had to double-check that I was still on Lemmy.

We know perfectly well that the art is behind glass and will not be damaged because they did it before. So it's complete nonsense to say that it will potentially destroy the art.

You explicitly mentioned the Sentinelese. Exactly how would you go about this infrequent contact and observation with them?

In any case, let's assume that hunting is exclusively performed by males in all of those peoples. How much would that change the statistic and the overall conclusion? 79% would be 72%

Have they?

"In this case, their very specific prediction was that warming of between 1.5°C and 4.5°C would accompany a doubling of atmospheric CO₂" https://theconversation.com/40-years-ago-scientists-predicted-climate-change-and-hey-they-were-right-120502

Isn't the problem more that people have been reading that and assuming that it means 3°, not 'possibly 4.5°' ?

That said, the study there seems to assume that the effects are roughly linear, ie. that there are no tipping points.

What efficient means: switching from ecologically expensive foods like beef to lower impact vegetarian diets.

What efficient does not mean: using vast quantities of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

If organizing multiple riots across the country doesn't count as domestic extremism, what does?

On Armistice Day, EDL protesters marched towards the Cenotaph (without permission) and launched fireworks that were intended to hit people and did strike policemen in the face. Let's see if they get 5 years.

But it doesn't say "milk" or "ice cream", does it? He's actually upset because he saw "Haagen Dasz", and he thinks that that must contain dairy- he even said as much. Faux outrage designed to serve his political ends.

The rule of law must be upheld, sure, but which law are the protesters supposed to be breaking?

Very often it's not exactly the same criticism, and is just deflection - they are hoping to start arguing about whether the accuser's actions are equivalent, rather than whether their actions are objectively bad.

For example: A accuses B of allowing poor people to starve to death and B replies that if A cares so much about poor people, why does he want to put taxes up?
