As someone with asthma, I gotta say it’s right to ban inhalers if you don’t have a prescription. When I wake up in the morning (where I haven’t used the inhaler in a while) I’m feeling worn out, but a couple of puffs and in minutes I’m back to normal and ready to get to it.  If you’re trying to breath better, an…

Not the first time 4 shots in 15 minutes have gotten Wayne Rooney in trouble...

DC United fans: This has been a burden in my life for a few years now and finally I have got to the bottom of it....

When “keeping it real” goes wrong.

The deep irony here is that if Catalonia became independent, they would be shooting themselves in the foot. The EU has already told them they’d be exiting the EU and could not use the Euro as currency. Catalonia’s economy is dependent on tourism and foreign investments, both of which immediately tank while the…

BMI is only about 50% accurate in reflecting obesity:

Except it’s not. As I mentioned above, the very heart of the measurement is flawed because it’s based on outdated data. Beyond all of that, there are racial considerations as well, since BMI is primarily based on white subjects while curvier non-whites (who often also have wider shoulders) are not accurately…

You are of course, correct. Let me correct myself. Hurr durr laughing at horrific injury because he’s not on my team (fantasy or otherwise).  I am so glad this makes my sportsball team more likely to win!  Other sportsball team sucks!

Here’s the thing with the “curse”. Any player, statistically, is going to have a roughly 4.1% chance to injure themselves and they tend to miss a mean of 3.1 games per injury as per this article from 2016 (with broken graphics)

Yep, like I said before, BMI is based on measurements from 1830's and most people in the 1830's would be considered malnourished by our modern standards. Meat, eggs and other protein was relatively expensive in Europe at the time and most people lived on a diet of easily farmed grains and starches with meat, dairy, veg…

Danzig has been looking for him.

To be clear, even if you’re sitting in front a monitor all day, you’re getting way, way less blue light than these flies received.  Generally the sort of flies used in these experiments are bred to amplify the effects of drugs or environmental effects.  We already know getting lots of blue light isn’t great for you,…

So, that stat gets rolled out a lot...but actually it’s bullshit.

I mean, the Patriots are known for being absolutely ruthless, who did you think you were signing for?  It’s like signing on to be in the Trump administration and then being shocked when everything around you is shit and everyone you work with is shitty.  #StickingToSportsForTheInvestors

I mean, we do need to distinguish between legit nutjobs and those just playing to a base. Alex Jones probably isn’t nearly as nutty as he plays it on his internet videos, he knows that gets his audience fired up so he can sell them dumb shit. Rorschachh is McVeigh right-wing, true red go out and do the violence nut…

I mean, presumably we’re talking very young children, not teenagers.

As you wish:

Oh, I thought this was another post about the Republican Party.  Never mind, carry on with the awesome science.

So, for those that don’t see the (obvious) problems, let’s start here:

Gruesome Bird Massacre is my favorite black nu frenzy metal band from San Francisco.
