I am the descendant of a countlessly long line of meat eaters. I'll stick with the slaughter version, it has worked well thus far. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Probably best for Soylent drinkers to regularly chew gum. It'd be pretty awkward to discover after a few months that your jaw muscles have atrophied so severely that you have trouble chewing even the softest dry foods.

This is true. There were in fact people voicing their suspicion that Theranos was all a crock of shit in the very first discussions on Theranos on HN. Warning signs were there. People were voicing specific technical concerns, as well as l

Search for Theranos (and related terms) in HN history with the search bar at the bottom of the page. A lot of high profile posters making very embarrassing defences of Theranos. Lots of thinly veiled accusations of ageism, sexism, ludditis

How normal (not wealthy and/or Californian) Americans deal with mercury in their home: 1) Ignore it, or sweep it into a dustpan and throw it out if it really bothers them. 2) Enjoy not having a $50,000 bill. 3) Almost certainly live in

It is also shown to decrease the information density (w.r.t. the actual subject matter ) of a video. So you have engaged viewers watching a video of less substance... Reevaluate what you are optimizing for.

The kerbal planets are already so big that there is nothing interesting on 99% of the surface area of them. There are mods to make them "full sized", but they don't make the planets less interesting than they were otherwise.
