Is it a binary abacus?

I work with quite a few PhDs. They’re not as brilliant as they seem.

She’s a cupid stunt.

She’s the same one who made suggestions about how to topple statues/monuments when the BLM/Klantifa commies were going around destroying them. If she were hit by a bus tomorrow, the world would be a better place.

The only space archaeologists that I can think of who did any actual fieldwork were Pete Conrad and Alan Bean, of Apollo 12.

Actually UAB is more of a medical university they have a huge campus hospital complex (lots of buidings for various specialties) as well as having a good biotech engineering program among others. its a pretty nice place, but obviously with some weirdos. I think this prof is also the goon that posted how to take down a monument.

Very accurate description. Modern academic orthodoxy is as reactive to challenges to its dogmas as the Church was during the 16th century. If universities could get away with public burnings of heretics there would be pyres on the campuses tomorrow.

What’s a ‘space archaeologist’?

Dr. Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1?

[mewzilla]

An oxymoron.

There was some anthropologist/ archeologists type who wrote a paper about how men lived in a segregated group from women and children and were feasting on meat etc while the women lived there n what the could forage. His reasoning was the bones and butchering of game animals was done at some distance from where the women and children were located. My first thought was if you processed the animals away from camp that was where scavenging animals would go reducing the possible of tribe members being attacked. That thought never entered his head.

“(Parcak) is not a “supposed” archaeologist any more than you are a supposed shill-for-hire. She has a Ph.D. from Yale and is a renowned Egyptologist”

In my world, that makes her even more suspect.

Oxygen deprived?

[zeugma]

and a few robots on Mars.

Mars is the only planet we know of populated entirely by robots.

Computer? I only get on FR using my abacus.

Yes, but are you logged in?

[BlueLancer]

Beat me to it ...

... although the "beaded in" was very clever ...

[nickcarraway]

I’ll take that as a compliment...

[AppyPappy]

“She has a Ph.D. from Yale”

Probably in something that doesn’t exist

[Trillian]

The way I see it is.. anyone can go into debt paying for a degree. It doesn’t mean it makes them smart.
