"Jaded" anything can be a drag and pretty much is a curse of ordinary life. I have decided the price is too high, to use drugs to ward the condition off. YMMV but I doubt it. Beware of Old Wive's Tales. And you better watch what your younger wives are saying too. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Sensory crosstalk must be fun, a rich way to experience life. Surfaces that have depth and texture not just a plain wall. Connections, new neural network type stuff, drugs can enlighten or destroy. Its all chemistry? Well, thats like saying a beautiful woman is 98 percent water... we all are, but that doesn't stop you from enjoying the surface tension. Brains can be receptive to different stimulus patterns. Look at our AI systems: Deep Learning Neural Nets that outperform experienced doctors, but can not tell us how they achieve this feat, can not produce algoritms, just stimulus patterns. Jaded senses must be the ultimate in solitary confinement. |

The dinosaur was preserved to "sculpture" status. That's not a plaster reproduction -- all fossilized. ![]() http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/06/dinosaur-nodosaur-fossil-discovery/ If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |

But what could you get for it on Ebay. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Actually they did fall for a notorious hoax in 1999, a faked fossil of a 'missing link' type. It showed a feathered dinosaur, but turned out to be a composite of two fossils. They put a picture of it on the cover and did a big article. The wikipedia article says there were doubts about authenticity all along that were ignored. Definitely considered a hoax later, the article is really critical of NG. Amongst other things, the fake fossil is also an illegal export. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeoraptor Beware of Old Wive's Tales. And you better watch what your younger wives are saying too. |
