That there was another blackout in 2013?Yes. Or that people would know which blackout you are talking about. I wasn't ignorant of that at all. Of course i remember it. I lived through that one as well.Your post made it seem like you were ignorant of it, or at least ignorant of the fact that not everyone agrees that that one was "the big northeast blackout". I just made thhe post about the first blackout because it was the 50th anniversary but neglected to use the word "first". I never said anything about it being the only blackout. So there was no reason for any ribbing.Yes, your error, if that's the real explanation, would also be grounds for ribbing. And the language he used was not a "light ribbing" but accusatory which was why I responded in the harsh manner I did.Wrong. The language he used was very much in fact "light ribbing." Harsh language would be completely different. Accusatory language can be part of the light ribbing. Your "harsh language" response was uncalled for*. You completely misunderstood the situation. *I wouldn't call your uncalled for response "harsh language"", but if you want to call it that, then that's your call. |

A logical person accepts what he sees evidence for. Fifty years ago, western scientists said that acupuncture was complete nonsense, because there was simply no method anyone could imagine by which it might work. Eventually, enough people put that preconception aside and looked objectively at whether it did work or not, regardless of how, and today no one doubts that it does work.I have had enough experiences of things that I saw in dreams or daydreams/visions coming true in specific detail that I do not doubt the reality of the phenomenon. How such a thing can be, I don't know. It doesn't fit the accepted scientific paradigm, but it happens nevertheless. Maybe something to do with quantum entanglement (something else that no one would have believed could exist a century or so ago), maybe not. |

Acupuncture works on animals, it is certainly not a placebo. Surgical procedures have been carried out using acupuncture as the only anesthetic. It is also used for other purposes by some veterinarians (see https://www.ivas.org/about-ivas/what-is-veterinary-acupuncture/). Placebo effects don't work on animals. |

How do you know if acupuncture works on non-human animals? Did you ask them?Not only is that link from an unreliable source, it doesn't actually show any of its claims. Are there any examples of successful trials of non-human animal acupuncture? That link shows none. |

I have a coincidence also.I wondered for 20 years what happened to a friend from high school. Finally I was able to locate him. I will spare you those details. After speaking with him for a while I learned that the person he used to have an adjacent cubicle from him was my next door neighbor! It gets better. It also turned out that someone I worked with for about ten years (though not in the same office) used to be his next door neighbor! So i could have asked my next door neighbor and he could have asked his neighbor and we would have found each other. I wonder what those odds are. |

I said today is the fiftieth anniversary of the big northeast blackout which was a perfectly true statement, regardless of any other blackouts. I didn't mention others because there was no need to. Your assumption that I didn't know about the others was erroneous and totally ridiculous.If someone posted today is the centennial of the BMT, would you assume he never heard of the IRT or IND? Of course not. This is the same thing. And if someone states a fact as I did, and someone else incorrectly states the fact was incorrect like R 30 did, that is not light ribbing. He is calling me a liar or misrepresenting the truth either through ignorance or on purpose. |

Saying No it happened 12 years ago, is disputing the fact that one happened fifty years ago.That is exactly what happened and I am not making up any shit. If he stated there also was one 12 years ago, he would merely been adding info and there would have been nothing wrong with that. But by using the word "No", makes his statement incorrect, while mine was fully correct. And he knows it because he hasn't participated in this discussion to correct anything. |

No, it was not perfectly true, since there were other blackouts.No, I didn't make that assumption. No, that is an invalid comparison as the different subway companies are clearly different.

It was 50 years since the big northeast blackout which is what it was called at the time so the statement is perfectly true.Similarly if someone said last year today is 100 years since The Great War (or the World War) that would still be a true statement today even though there was another world war 27 years later. I didn't say you didn't make that assumption regarding BMT. I said you wouldn't make that assumption. At least quote me correctly. Correcting someone, accusing him of being incorrect is not light ribbing by any definition. |
