Using Yelp reviews to predict food safety violations

[Hornbein]

the professors devised an algorithm to identify how review text on Yelp is associated with regulatory inspections. They found that food handling violations are predicted by words like “sick” and “nauseous,” while the presence of pests is predicted by words like “cockroaches” and “filthy.”

One of the new theorists was John Woodward, Gresham professor of physics and an expert on fossils. In his An Essay toward a Natural History of the Earth (1695), Woodward put the miracle back into the Flood, but in a wholly novel way – he said that when the rains came, God temporarily suspended gravity, and so waters boiled up out of the deep, and the entire Earth became a thick soup of dissolved rock, water, and living things. When gravity was reestablished, the living things sank according to their density, the soil reformed into rock, and voila, the Earth now had strata with fossils embedded in the rock.

It should be noted that by gravity Woodward was referring to a cohesive force that hold matter together not the gravitational force as we know it. see https://www.lindahall.org/about/news/scientist-of-the-day/john-woodward

The predictions repeatedly fail, but that doesn't stop 'im.

The Best Science Hoaxes, Spoofs, and Nerd Jokes​

Doesn't have the Bogdanovich brothers, the most bizarre of all. Especially when they got into cosmetic surgery. I guess it was because they were sincere, but that just makes it weirder.

A river rafting guide wrote

The other thing that I hear an unbelievable amount of times is "do we finish where we start?

I have heard this from river rafting guides but I thought maybe they were joking. I guess not.
