I've heard of multi-tasking, but multi-sleeping is new to me. You Europeans really are on the cutting edge (if that's the term I want  ) of slacking!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

Well, countries like Israel and the US, that are only five minutes old, haven't had time to work such things out to perfection.

According to Plato, all this happened 9.000 years before his time which would be at least 9.400 BC, some 12.400 years ago. Intriguingly, this also corresponds to the period when the geological age of the Younger Dryas suddenly ended with an abrupt warming of more than 10°C in only a few years.
Damned SUVs. And cow farts.

Yes, given that the sea routes were the great trade routes, as today, the big cities are on the coast. And with 400 ft sea level rises at the end of the ice age there has to be many ancient cities under water today.

Once, just once, I'd like to hear a warmite admit that on a geological scale, this happens all the time, and so even if we are accelerating the process, ultimately it doesn't change anything--it's gonna happen one way or another. Besides, "10C in a few years"? And we're worried about a 4C change by 2100, and a fraction of a millimeter sea rise a year?
I just wanna hear one of them say we're NOT "poisoning the planet with CO2" as it has nothing to do with the planet. It all has to do with humans, and the inconvenience of mass population migration.

Be very careful with Graham Hancock's stuff. He has a tendency to jump to conclusions. He was (still is?) a proponent of the Pyramids being based on Orion. I think he also said some other way-crackpotty stuff. For instance, according to him, the Sphinx is oriented to the vernal equinox in 12,500 BC. Looking at that structure on Google Earth, it faces pretty much due East, which puts the kibosh on dating it that way. Some of his points are interesting, but I don't believe he is the one to give the final word.
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Graham Hancock, Lobsang T. Rampa, Erich von Däniken, David Icke... All cut from the same cloth, which should be shredded to make rags for cleaning cars.

a YouTube Video! - so it must be true 
I'd wait a minute before you rewrite the history of civilization - maybe there is a new YouTube Video in between that changes everything again

How about one that just illuminates some forgotten thoughts? Self-plug[^].

omg - all this pseudo-scientifc bullshit was just easily ignored in the past. Nowadays every second day I have to explain someone, who knows about my scientific interests, why free energy, Globuli, and Quantum-XY don't work.
Let alone all these "I know it better" YouTube and social-media trolls with it's conspiracy theories...
I sometimes speculate what good could be done with all these "thinking-enery" of all "alternative explaination" followers and producers...
People like to think and find out new and alternative solutions and theories, the bad thing is: the bar is high - if you want to "produce" new knowledge - you have to learn alot about the existing one! So people want to shortcut - find simple answers - and the "alternative pseudo-science" provides them.
What really worries me, this kind of thinking arrived politics...

So, you wanna release without testing now? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

End user testing is also testing. Jussaying!

Releasing without a formal test period is SOP at my place!

It is bad but it is true. One can do tests and tests and ... in dev env but the real test - which shows the real mistakes- is going live. It is like it is,unfortunately

IMO it is up to the developer to test his code and make sure it is good to go.
|

Apparently that's what our CIO believes too. But I disagree because testing your own code is like trying to proofread your own manuscript. You can't do it because you've been looking at it too long.

It depends on how honest you are with yourself, and how seriously you take your job, but yes, there is a tendency to overlook some key aspects because you are so close to the product.

Nah. Trust but verify. IMHO, it always good to have someone else other that the developer themselves to verify/test the changes before promoting it to production. It could be time consuming to go through the process but it worthy.
