can we really trust a “black box” algorithm with our lives?
No. That’s why we have clinical trials.
- Comment on Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather. 6 days ago:
The reason you find cold water refreshing is because of early humans.

It doesn’t. You said Belloq hired them to be his personal army, which paints the Hovitos as complicit in working against their own self-interests. As in, they were the betrayers of their own people and were selling out to Belloq for some cash.
But no, the reality is both Jones and Belloq were out to screw them: Jones by directly robbing them, and Belloq by first scamming them and then robbing them. Both were being imperialist and the Hovitos were the victims.

He didn’t know Belloq was there until after he had robbed them.

Where do you get that he hired them?
The opening scene is them discussing that the tribe would kill them just for being in the area, and then Belloq taunts Jones saying he can’t warn them that he’s scamming them because Jones doesn’t speak Hovitos. No where does it say he hired them.
- Comment on THE PERIODIC TABLE OF TAYLOR SWIFT👩🏼🔬🧪🧫🧬🔬 2 weeks ago:
Yep. Like if I did Metallica, I’d put the Black album on the far left followed by Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets would go on the far right (the Noble Thrashes) along with Ride the Lightning and Kill ‘Em All. Load, Reload, and St. Anger would be Transition Metal; Death Magnetic, Hardwired to Self Destruct and 72 Seasons would be the Metalloids, and then of course at the bottom I’d have the Luluthanides and Garage Inctinides.
Except actually putting that together sounds like way too much work, so I’m just going to pat myself on the back for the puns.

It’s just album track listings? You could do this with any artist, and probably better than just doing it chronologically.

Gotta love how the first movie opens with him stealing an idol from an uncontacted Peruvian tribe, and the heroic music swells as he narrowly escapes with spears flying around them.
Granted, this takes place in 1936 and his actions were the norm for the period, but despite coming out in 1981 the movie plays this scene out rather uncritically.

There’s also molybdenum, lanthanum, and tantalum. “ium” is not a hard and fast rule.

All of them? Are you sure?
On an unrelated note, apparently the Eagles “Their Greatest Hits” album was certified 38x Platinium.
- Comment on There should be a universal standard indicator for whether a comment chain should be read top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the function.
Forum comment chains should always be top to bottom within the same chain. But for live chat, both top to bottom and bottom to top are acceptable.
