Fahrenheit never made any sense to me. Why is the freezing point of water 32? Why are there 180 degrees between freezing and boiling? That said, as an American I'm used to it, and it takes effort to convert it to Celsius.

People forget that dead babies are a risk of childbirth. Just like we've forgotten the risks of childhood infectious disease like measles and mumps, we forget that the "natural" way was also more dangerous.

I'm due to have a baby in a few days using a midwife in a hospital. Here's the deal: it takes any reasonably intelligent human being ONE SINGLE ENCOUNTER with fear of losing your child to appreciate modern medicine and know that your choices should be about protecting your kid, not having your dream birth. I've had …

"Our presence at these births is going to make them far safer than if they were doing it on their own,"

This particular researcher also has a pet bias towards his autism = excessive maleness theory. As a person who studied science-y things in college, I get where you are coming from, but in autism research there has been pretty good evidence that autism is expressed very differently in girls and this has been largely…

It's not that the situation couldn't happen it's how it's written about. No guy that is a macho dick enough to suggest such a thing in the first place then goes on to turn into a such a sniveling bitch about the situation. The one thing in particular is him writing the detailed account of the other guy and that…

I also live in Canada, and I am thrilled to think that perhaps this mailbox thing is also the case here, and I've been breaking the law constantly without even giving a shit.

"Putting anything in a resident's mailbox without paying postage is a federal offense"

As someone who actually studies the science of how to teach people, all this common-core hate is bullshit. When we were in school, all we were taught was how to add and multiply, like a cook book. We never learned why we were doing it, and that made more advanced math a lot more difficult than it should have been.…

My favorite was the footage of all the gun nut followers crouching in ditches with guns waiting for the feds to descend and arrest Bundy, as though that wasn't the wet dream they've been waiting for. I wonder if it was hard to lay on the ground sniper-style with the erections they all had from anticipating a…

No, they don't give you even an unofficial diagnosis of endo because nothing else fits. My doc was pretty sure I had it, but was very clear that he could not be official about it until they actually looked inside me.

I believe that is what he said when he got called out. What he said on the air was "Everything you mentioned, everything you mentioned, are things that actually aren't discernibly pathological." Endo is absolutely discernibly pathological. And to my understanding it's only "hard to diagnosis" in the sense that it's…

Miracle Mineral Solution is essentially a type of bleach.

second Physicians Formula. I generally like most of their powders & shizz & i also have combo skin. Green powder/cream will def help, but also try some of the tinted moisturizers and/or BB/CC creams. but only apply foundation/ concealer to problem area. don't cover your whole face. for me most foundations are a little…

Absolute BULLSHIT. PURE BULLSHIT. She was drinking. They know where she was driving from. How much she drank is being debated and will be discussed in civil court. Husband is a Police officer. No breath test demanded - contrary to police procedures in Ontario in the event of a motor vehicle accident causing death.…

That Redditor forgot to include the parts where Sharlene Simon was speeding when she hit the boys as well as possibly texting, and that she was allowed to be driven home by her police offer husband without taking a breathalyzer...

Yeah, this is more in the Rob Ford wheelhouse.

Don't forget to mention the part where her husband is a police officer and was driving behind her that night!
