Agreed. For example our brain _depends_ on glucose for energy. Even if you go into ketosis, your body will still generate glucose to feed your brain (and possibly other organs?). Conversely, cigarettes offer nothing that your body depends o

I've always wondered this too: is this actually testing a child's meta-awareness and ability to read "the game", rather than their self control? This would also be a trait that leads to success later in life. These studi

Have you ever been near a moose? I almost hit one when it charged out of the bush while I was diving a backroad. It swerved at the last minute and ran alongside my car for about 10s. All I could see out the side window was its legs, felt li

I was with you until >the USA's corruption is easily at Soviet levels. This statement is hard to quantify, but as an observer who never lived in USSR and only briefly in the USA, there's no way. The USSR was rotten to the core.

I was surprised that 'kebob' isn't a well-known word in the UK. I believe it's a 'kebab' in the UK, which seems so close. As a Canadian I was disappointed to find my familiarities sided more on the US side than

The modular synth heads who might use this are a niche audience, and they definitely would know what a patch is. If you don't know what a patch is, these aren't the droids you're looking for. Hope that doesn't sound rude

Amusing how it's gone from "be your own bank" back around to centralization, but this time with a colossal energy footprint behind it. Same shit, bigger pile I guess.

I know we're not supposed to discuss downvotes, but can't help but be curious why parent was downvoted? Factual errors? Cuss words? No references? Disagreement in opinion? It would be more interesting if they left a comment.

This process would be a good candidate for point source carbon capture and storage. Unfortunately CCS seems to have mostly been a red herring so far, but if it's going to work anywhere, this is a perfect application.

Zaxxon seemed like the most sophisticated, futuristic game, and fiendishly difficult to play. I never lasted more than a few 10s of seconds. It was a brutal temptress.

I would have made that same mistake if I was making decisions for Mozilla at the time. It's such an elegant, logical and tempting ideal to turn the browser into the OS. Too bad it didn't work out.
