My mum has her birthday on Christmas day, which makes gift buying a little bit tricky - we are always really careful to make sure that she has separate birthday gifts and Christmas gifts (She had a lot of cheap-ass relatives when she was a kid, who thought it would be cool to tell her that the same present her sisters…

According to the article, higher doses don't seem to increase the effectiveness, and also start to make most people feel sick (also increased blood clot risk, I think).

I'm not 100% sure why - but they mentioned that increasing the dose for some of the hormones just makes people feel ill and increases the risk for blood clots. I suspect it's a case of how much a human digestive system can effectively handle and distribute to the body in time vs. how much of the hormone you need per…

I got one of these for my dad when I worked at a kitchen supply store a few years back. My biggest regret is not also buying one for myself at the same time, because that thing is really great.

Much sympathy. I just adopted an adult cat a few months ago, and he is similarly squirmy - So much so that really can't keep a hold on him in any way that seems humane.

posted this earlier, but it deserves to be in the doctor dance party :)

John Hurt is the war doctor, not Peter Capaldi. I'm pretty sure Capaldi is going to be 12

Yeah, and then after that he never spoke to her again until they were going to die. Then he acted like a kicked puppy when she wasn't prepared to immediately fall in love with him. Cue me not being overwhelmed by his romantic gestures. One act of charity does not a romance make.

I see your small fuzzy mammal and raise you a penguin and seal

I am 90% sure that any kid with a dog of any size has thought about doing this at least once, at least until some buzzkill parent insists that you "Leave the poor dog alone"

if it's a party, that means its time to dance!

I recently discovered there is a OEM (Original english manga) follow up to this movie. It's a bit fanfiction-y though - and the art is not as good or as stylistic as the cover here.

Yeah, but If Xbox wants you to use voice control for everything, and to use the thing as your primary media center device, than voice control should work consistently

I agree - that would be a pretty good mechanic, and it has in-universe justification

I am not going to be mad about the frying pan thing. In the Disney movie Rapunzel smacked a bunch of guys with a frying pan, which made about as much in-universe sense as any other impromptu weapon she could have used. Kitchen knives are probably a bit violent for this Disney movie, since it's pretty hard to do…

Luckily I have only have one really vocal Aunt with a fondness for pseudoscience. My strategy is to divert her onto the topic of local politics, which I know little about and have no opinions on, as she lives in a totally different part of the country from me. Happily, this is a topic that she has many opinions on,…

Oh yeah. I remember begging for $15 and the blockbuster card so my brother and I could go ride our bikes down to the blockbuster by the grocery store and get some movies and candy for the weekend. And then trying to convince the the one overzealous Blockbuster guy that I was really 13 and totally old enough to rent…
