First concert i ever saw was Kansas in 80 or 81. Soft spot for Kansas.

I think part of the problem here is semantics Definitions.

What does "hacking our election" mean?

It is widely acknowledged that there is no evidence that the Russians accessed our voting machines to change votes. If your definition of "hacking" is interference with computers and their outputs, then yes, there is no hacking by Russians.

But if you are a person who isn't careful with original meanings of words, and use words in a new way to speak in short cuts -- then you will use the word "hack" to mean mess with. Change. A life "hack" for example. And there is plenty of proof that there was a concerted effort on the part of the Russians to plant false stories, fake news, to try and influence the election. That Americans were doing it too, for either political purposes or just to make some sweet easy advertising money, doesn't change the fact that there was this specific effort.

As for "confirmation bias" -- yeah. You got some, enoch. Every time anyone sets up an argument in such black and white terms, that is evidence of confirmation bias.

The world is gray, and messy, and not black and white. To try to make it so is deepening a manufactured divide.

And both sides do it. And have done it for a long time.

Because sound bites work. Slogans work.

Fight back against black and white thinking.

@Sagemind - here's some T-Pain: http://videosift.com/video/T-Pain-NPR-Music-Tiny-Desk-Concert

First concert I ever saw live - Mr Roboto in the Saenger Theatre.

Twisted my mind but good for a few months.

*promote - attending her concert on saturday

True, sometimes music is meant to be shared, like in your home or at a concert....but when you are on a bus or in other public areas, that's not the time. Not everyone loves your music, no matter what music that may be. Only totally brain dead narcissists think that because they enjoy one type of music that everyone likes it. How is Nick going to like it when I sit next to him and blast some M.O.D., Carnivore, or Fearless Iranians From Hell in his ear?

I think this is a *terrible and ridiculous ad for a poorly thought out product that's going to cause innumerable fights over people abusing the public with their inappropriate music and noise.

Your video, Lianne La Havas NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Imagine going to a rock concert or a play in a theatre using that kind of technology. Any kind of live performing art could use this to great effect. Watch a few videoes from Pomplamoose using digital projection and you'll get the idea what this could become.

I remember seeing them in concert and it cost me $20 for really good seats.

Your video, Blue Man Group: Tiny Desk Concert : NPR, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

@kingmob The right-wing conspiracy of convenience says that the data has been adjusted to heighten the urgency and panic and perpetuate their scientific fraud. This is a misunderstanding of flux adjustments that used to be made to climate models in the 90's and early in the 00's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_circulation_model#Flux_buffering

Recent improvements in modelling equations mean that they no longer rely on flux adjustments, but hearing that they had to made adjustments at all sounds sketch.

Because the "hockey-stick" model was an overshoot based on the peak in 1998, deniers tend to either:

a) Argue that the "warming hiatus" between 1998 and 2013 disproves AGW theory. This fallacy disproved itself in the last 2+ years as global surface and ocean temperatures have exceeded the 1998 record year on year.
or:
b) Attempt to discredit scientists arguing that their own funding depends on the alarming data that they publish. Far-right conservatives continue to demonize scientists as a cabal of billionaires working in concert to sway public opinion. If that was true, then the whole hiatus period sure didn't help their cause, but the graph hasn't moved.

This is sound science, and denialism is collapsing under the weight of its own bullshit. At the time of posting, NOAA said that July 2016 also marked the 15th consecutive warmest month on record for the globe. That is the longest stretch of months in a row that a global temperature record has been set in their dataset.
