Letters to the Editor

Eleven months. Eleven months. You people report the gap in the provenance every single time and I have never once seen another outlet do it. I disagree with roughly half of what this desk prints and I renewed my subscription this morning.

Cancel my subscription. Renew it. I do this every time she writes and I am aware of how it looks.

The 'as this newspaper has previously established' point applies to two of mine as well. She did not name them. She should have.

For the record, and because Ms Ashcombe-Doyle quoted me exactly: yes. All three. The Null Result on this subject is commissioned as of Monday and Dr. Nkemelu is writing it, which she volunteered for before I asked.

I have been on that tour. It is mechanical rooms. It is a LOT of mechanical rooms. Go on the tour.

My father would have hated being in a newspaper and he would have read this four times. He kept everything because he thought somebody would need it one day. I did not believe him.

I have believed this for four years. I read the whole thing twice. The part that got me was not the borders or the registers, it was Ojala saying he writes back to everyone. I am going to write to him.

Your reporters walked 1,340 km of border in February. In FEBRUARY. I offered them the car four times. Please tell them the coffee is still on the Swedish side and it is still cheaper.

22 declined, 8 did not reply, 1 said yes. Printing the ratio is the story. Every other outlet would have written 'attendees did not respond to requests for comment' and moved on.

I asked them to print the firm's name. They refused and told me why in the piece. I still disagree. I am glad the disagreement is on the page instead of in an email.

The offer stands and it is not rhetorical. I have a vacuum chamber, I have time in it, and I will run anyone's device and publish the result whichever way it goes. Nine people have taken me up on it in eleven years. Nine devices. Zero thrust below 10⁻³ mbar.

$14,800 to prove birds are birds is the single most Parallax sentence ever printed and I want it on a mug.

Pathologist here. For the readers asking: yes, the grackle tumour was benign, no, it did not contain anything, and yes, I photographed it from four angles because I knew someone would ask.

611 hours for 40 seconds. Publishing the eleven blank nights is the most honest thing I have read in a newspaper this year and it is about a large bird.

He printed that I disagreed with him about the size. He did not have to. That is why I talked to him twice.

I am not a scientist and I want people to know how boring the method was. I downloaded the raw series, wrote 40 lines of code, and got a different answer than the paper. Then I did it again to check I had not made a mistake. That is the whole skill.
