not within your lifetime though. you just have to have faith in the peer review process. also peer reviewing typically does not involve actually reproducing the results

but you can’t! are you personally able to verify the results of every scientific investigation ever performed? think about what’s currently happening in psychology. loads of old foundational studies have been found to be irreproducible. and yet people had faith that they were conducted honestly and appropriately

yes but you still have to have faith in the ability of another person to do science and not falsify evidence

but to people with faith, their faith is evidence-based

yes but translation from evidence to what caused the evidence to exist requires assumptions, like the fact that trig works. I’m not saying assumptions are bad, just that they should be acknowledged

can you elaborate? I’m not sure what your point is

yeah except that logic relies on base assumptions, which are ultimately chosen based on gut feelings

good luck defining where facts end and beliefs begin. ultimately science is a belief, even if it is evidence-based

you should try reading zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance

huh?

“they” uses the same number of characters as “s/he” and flows more naturally

google maps can do that too though

tbh it looks like a temporary tattoo. it’s got that characteristic wrinkly texture

no it’s not, it’s for the entire device

unfortunately in reality it is a curved line on a sphere
