The growth regulating gene comes from a Chinook Salmon. They get something called a promoter gene from that pouty fish. I'm no geneticist, but my understanding of it is that the promoter gene is like a glue to make the other gene work right when they put it into the Atlantic Salmon.

The GM salmon grow faster, reaching maturity in half the time of regular salmon (18 months as opposed to 3 years). Normally the atlantic salmon only grow during the spring and summer. They added a gene from a different kind of salmon that makes them grow year round, thus half the time.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but the people on Twitter are not talking directly to you.

I think his point is that law makers jump right on making this illegal but people are still allowed to mutilate their dogs in other ways that are more traditionally acceptable (docking tails and ears for instance), not to mention the treatment of livestock which has gone on for much, much longer.

It's pretty insulting to the agency of women to say that men are the "drivers" of attraction.

I wonder how they managed it vis a vis birth control. Did she exclusively do films with him for the extent that they were "trying"?

My friend got a bottle of that once. To be honest it tasted horrible :-( Looks pretty cool though.

I thought they were saying all he did for one year was sit in front of a computer and retweet women.

Maybe the improved circulation makes it so their hands/feet aren't ice cold and thus sexytimes is less likely to be ruined by an unexpected icy hand job. Alternate explanation! For real though, if it does improve circulation I would like to give this to my wife because I can't take her stealing all my precious body…

I'm not saying your wrong, but the argument doesn't sit right with me. It is too similar to when people say, "oh she must not have been raped or she would have been fighting back harder."

Yeah what is with that? It tastes like 100x better than regular water, but only when you are really, really thirsty.

You probably don't mean to, but you sound like a classist jerk. Just because maybe you don't like it doesn't mean their bread is "disgusting". Pretty sure thousands of people eat it every day and are more than happy with it.

Weirdly there was a line in the article at first that said that since the last woman has been execute there were thousands of men who received the death penalty. It has since been removed.

I'm confused... are we saying we need to close the gender death penalty gap?

Last time there was an article here about it they called it a "clean sheets" pill.

Except that you presumably didn't inherit tons of money and privilege that your father gained from being a racist. That's the difference.

That doesn't really make sense though. The excuse that "well, murder is rare enough that it probably hasn't effected anyone at my dinner party" does not apply when we are talking about the internet. Yet people still make murder jokes all the time. Nobody is ever offended because that is just a phrase, it doesn't…

That makes no god damn sense. Meat is always the most expensive part of any meal and vegetarian options are always the cheapest thing on the menu at any restaurant. I was vegetarian during grad school and I would make a weeks worth of stew from dried rice, lentils and beans plus some carrots and whatever was on…

That's a stupid comparison though. If McDonalds serves only one vegetarian option, then every vegetarian that goes to McDonalds will get it. For non-vegetarians, they have dozens of options so the percentage of people that eat each one is much less than 10%.

It astounds me the number of otherwise reasonable people that believe in some completely crazy superstition like moon cycles effecting behavior...
