'Ello, yes, they are a band. This is the first track (or intro) from their album. They're called The xx and the album is called X.

It's Hawking. Not Hawkins, Hawkings, etc. lol.

@SDGundamX, you seem to have a skewed view of the situation. You say doctors used the scientific method to predict how long it would take for Hawking to succumb to his disease, and that their failure to be correct somehow means science failed and didn't work.

You've got it backwards. The scientific method explicitly claims the opposite...that out of all the predictions we make, only a few are ever close to the real truth. Science basks in wrongness all the time. Being wrong in science is a boon, because being proven wrong means you're just a little closer to the truth.

It's the people who make predictions or observations about the world and never admit they can be wrong who are a problem.

EDIT: I just have to add...you're totally simplifying the doctor prediction example. You weren't there when the doctors gave their information to Hawking. Maybe they said, "It is likely you'll die by XX age, but we don't know for sure." Doctors are constantly asked to give people certainties when there are none to be had. Yet, people use this as "evidence", saying that if science doesn't know everything then it isn't worth using. Just because a doctor can't tell you exactly when you're going to die doesn't mean science "doesn't work". This logic illustrates a misunderstanding of what scientific methods of experiment and thought claim to accomplish.

It's not just whether the material is recyclable or not, but the quantity of the material:
1) Most containers are not recycled.
2) Most goods made with recycled plastic Must contain some quantity of New plastic, because the material degrades during the process. Ever wonder why when you buy something made from recycled plastic it says, "made from XX% recycled material"?
3) It takes a lot of energy to recycle. Both in processing the material and in transport.

Now, the fact the us Yanks aren't using UHT milk, that really pisses me off! Milk doesn't have to go bad people! At least not on the time frame it would take to go through a liter of it. Running to the #@(*Y$(* grocery store at 4:36 AM because you don't feel like pouring lumpy milk on your Cinnamon Toast Crunch.. that just sucks. Not to mention the environmental harm that comes from energy wasted through refrigeration, and the ridiculous overproduction of milk due to spoilage.

I would be cliche and say that you have no idea how hard I lol'd, but then I remembered that you also possess the gift of being XY instead of XX and realized that you understand EXACTLY how hard I lol'd at that. Hilarious vid.

We don't know each other any better than Tiny Tim knew Ghengis Khan, but that doesn't mean I don't know the words to "Tiptoe Through The Tulips."

Seriously, please don't flame out on us. I like what you've brought to our little corner of the intertubes, and I'll feel diminished if you fly apart into the four winds of the ether. This place already suffers from a poverty of XXs, so losing a witty femme such as yourself would really hurt us all.

I don't know what happened between you and gwiz. Regardless, I don't want you to leave because of it. Stick around, we don't all bite. Just think about it, merci?

why would anyone bother to tell a narcissistic nihilist like yourself ever? what would be the point? like trying trying to tell a brick that its a fucking brick. it wouldnt hear you, and it doesnt care.

youve said it yourself, on my front porch and several places on the sift im sure, that you dont fucking care. you see no reason to curb your behavior or watch your mouth because thats "censorship". well sir, there is a reason human beings take care not to alienate eachother, because we are herd creatures. our health depends upon the health of the herd. and furthermore, the word for people who throw whatever kind of disgusting bullshit they feel like around with no regard for how it might make anyone feel, and indeed no insight into how others feel, is sociopath.

the measure of a man is how honestly he loves and how careful he treats people. you sir are no man. you are a baiting groping creepy disgusting creep. and you need to take a long hard look at your interactions with rae and see where what youve said in private and what immature bullshit youve posted publicly that could have made her feel like she couldnt even stand being on the same URL as you. and if you can do that, maybe MAYBE theres some hope for you.

you are what happens when spoiled ugly children are left to their own devices with noone to challenge them. they are left with computer games and pop culture and pornography as their only insights into women and the world at large. and they end up isolated clueless 26 year old virgins with a fucking website as their lone social outlet and the only place to throw their inflated self deluded egos around. you are indeed suffering from serious delusions. and i pity you. i pity you sooooo much.

and theres my flame out. /bye

I do my best to represent all the giant inflatable vaginas here on the sift.

Thanks Dag!

Congrats and thanks for your rocking contributions IV. I'm also glad you are XX. It keeps the place from becoming an inflatable sausage fest.
