re: tricks; thank goodness! The first thing I did in the air off a jump was try to do a bunch of backflips. Looking forward to that being added.

Let it be known that some have cut off the top of their text before ALA 5.0 (myself included: http://tumbledry.org ). I like this design because it's opinionated, and I think we should wait to completely judge until they are done and have

When you search on xylitol, use "futile cycle" in the query --essentially, bacteria take xylitol up because it looks enough like a genuine, useful sugar, but can't do anything metabolically useful with it. It would be like humans spending a

I used Anki _extensively_ when I was in dental school--I think I had something like 10000 cards at the end of school. You can seriously pack knowledge into your head with spaced repetition. Anyhow, Anki is AMAZING. The best thing it does is

I was going to post almost exactly this--Stripe is seriously doing everything exactly right. They really need to _not_ get purchased by anyone: keep this A-team together!

Here's what I do. First, the markup: <time datetime="2011-08-27T19:15:38Z" pubdate>27 Aug, 2011</time> So, time in [ISO 8601][0] format. Run JS to transform '27 Aug, 2011' into a relative date. If the relative dat

You may be thinking of Wilckodontics. From what I could tell, they don't really go into depth on their website, but what they do is place braces and then irritate the bone (essentially drill holes ("scar" the bone) in strategic spots). Du
