In my ~25 years in the DC area I saw the noticeable advancement of the cherry blossom peak and a corresponding shift in the fall foliage

You need to provide a citation

Moderator NoteYou’ve been afforded ample opportunity to cite some actual science. Since you have not, this is closed

If you didn't mean planets, you shouldn’t have said planets.

You said planets. The sun is a star, the moon is, well, a moon, and Saturn’s rings are…rings. The question should be why Uranus and Neptune were excluded

Why should it not go in speculations? That’s where things called ”a theory of everything” go. The Lounge is for personal things.

“Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.” https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260327000518.htm

Right, there are plenty of example where scientists are the ones sounding the alarm and being ignored by business executives and politicians. Blaming scientists in general is IMO a misplaced attack (and the irony of an accusation of failing to do due diligence is not lost)

Who is saying this, and what exactly did they say? i.e. provide quotes and, as exchemist requests, links

“M2 Ultra chip for phenomenal performance 24-core CPU” https://www.adorama.com/apple-mac-pro-m2-ultra-chip-tower-desktop-computer/p/acz1jz000qr

Are those used in Macs, as I had specified?

It’s not 4x the cores My mac’s CPU has 8 cores; I think their top of the line these days is 24. According to Nvidia, a GPU has thousands. One thousand is more than 40x. (40 x 24 = 960) https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/why-gpus-are-great-for-ai/ So “thousands” would be ~100x the number of cores

This started out with a purported statement of fact; disagreement about its veracity is not mere opinion Further, while the offending statement was opinion, the point is that it was inappropriate to share the opinion. Agreement or disagreement isn’t part of it. Irrelevant Bigotry has to do with motivation. I’m not sure what allegedly was based on e.g. race, religion or gender, which would make it bigotry, unless you are claiming that your own posts were motivated by this.

What you said, exactly, was “so, obviously you have not learnt anything!” An answer that the claim was wrong would have been OK. Better still, an explanation of why it was wrong. People have been known to accept that they are wrong about factual matters when it’s demonstrated that they are. Discussion here is predicated on that. I’m not sure what the connection is with “stupid English society” I do not; I have no idea how this is “bigotry”

Moderator NotePosts should be about the topic, not personal attacks. You’ve been warned about this before, so you obviously haven’t learned anything about that.
