Virtually every slow cooker on the market has a prominent warning in its manual saying "DO NOT LEAVE THE COOKER UNATTENDED" or similar. Often times this is contradicted by the marketing of the item. Anyone know if there is some official or semi official resource on this topic? We all know many folks who don't think…

What if you're right? No seriously. I got into a fight once about the use of a specific word. We didn't have a dictionary on hand. The situation got tense fast, and I kept saying "I am 100% sure that this is the definition of the word, I am not trying to say you are dumb, I'm just saying that the definition that…

So the proof cited in the info-graphic can be restated as: Chinese homonym, that's cool, oh and we like 9.

So let me get this straight.... some "experts" say looking busy is good, and some other
"experts" say looking busy is bad. Thanks for the tip.

Here's one... is Andy Rutledge your brother?

There are many basic experiments that could be designed to at least narrow down the reliability of the data. I could imagine a fairly simple test in which actors are hired to answer scripted questions with scripted answers, they are video recorded wearing suit A and then suit B. You'd use a large set of actors to help…

I don't know, my friend. I've yet to see any double blinded studies around suits with just a dab or red and white.

This kind of a survey result is largely irrelevant. They are asking for opinions. Let's see the data of who gets hired. Without that, this is like asking someone what features would convince them to buy a car. Sure, you'll get insight into what that person thinks they want, but will they actually put down the cash…

The argument is more about these_screen_names_stink not knowing his psychological history. I know of virtually no students of psychology who take Freud seriously in the context of theory, only in the context of history.

Tripit is probably very very worried right now.

MrTea: Science does not say fat is bad for you. Specific types of fate are worse than others. Literally decades of work on this, some really great, some flaky, but in any case there are no nutritional scientists I know of who say "fat is bad" anymore. It comes down to the types of fat and amount consumed.

Other than noting that a few famous people wake up fairly early... where are the citations showing how this data was gathered? I don't see any "we surveyed 1000 top performers, and more than 60% perform at least 3 of these actions each day" kind of data. Or is this just one of those "Hm, i read about 3 people and they…
