As someone who actually did scientific research on transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in the early ‘naughts, I have to mention that this disease pathway is a little too unique. Unless research has turned up entirely new mechanisms in they last fifteen years (entirely possible!!,) every other disease known to man…

It will be due to lack of foresight. Scientists simply don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the relationships of ecosystems. One seemingly small ‘beneficial’ change could usher in unforeseen and irreversible calamity (once too much damage has been done). It is always much easier to destroy than to build or…

I’m...really skeptical of this report. DUI deaths? Sure. Accidental fatal accidents? Getting a little shakier, but sure. Cancer? I mean, alcohol is a known contributor to certain cancers, but calling it a cause is a stretch. Digestive disorders? If you’re drinking some horrible rotgut or you’re just a complete and…

WHO, determined to make broad statements with little basis in science.  Wonderful.  It’s at the point where anything they say cannot be treated very seriously.

we need to outlaw soda pop. i gave up soda when i was diagnosed with gout and the effect was immediate for me. i’d bet it would be for others as well.

The US isn’t even in the top 10 for alcohol consumption, so imagine what it would be if it was.

Outlawing a few bad foods will do crap, because there are so many, and even the good foods you can make bad by over-consuming, and still taking in too many calories.

You do realize that 5000 cars a week for an auto manufacturer is like a mcdonalds selling 10 hamburgers a day right?

How can a company that has not made a single dollar in profit or literally recalled every product they’ve ever sold be considered successful?

Most of the rest of the world can handle soy/nut based drinks refered to as “beverages” and not use milk in the terminology. If anything, the US is the one looking backwards in this scenario. In Canada you won’t find any of those drinks with the word “milk” in them, even though they are sold next to each other in the…

I’m ok with ‘milk’ being dropped from these products if it keeps clueless parents from starving their babies with these ‘alternative’ milks.

If we're talking boned meat, then it would be difficult but not impossible. Google what the largest whitetail ever shot was and then look at the most recent large game records- a 300-pound deer is not impossible in places like Kentucky. I count the bone in my weights because that's how I cook it and the bones are used…

Well, it is entirely possible, if you manage to get a very large buck. We got 60 pounds from a very small Alabama doe, whereas a Kentucky corn-fed, 3 year old buck gave just shy of 120 pounds.

outside of the social media thing, I am not really sure how different it is. We had kids in the late 90's and early 00's and had (still have) all “the pressure to succeed (job/career), also more financial issues (higher cost of living = worry about the next 18+ years of the child and if they can afford it/provide…

I don’t like Trump or Nazi’s, but i’d rather let people wear MAGA hats and Swastikas, over sowing seeds to slowly destroy free speech. Especially in Canada, where bills like C-16 are a small step to slowly criminalize an opinion.

The swastika was just a religious icon, until it wasn’t.

Wages are much higher today than they were 30 years ago, over double in fact. So it means you can buy 2.5 dozen eggs for every one dozen you were able to buy.

Medical cost is a completely different discussion (also not something people use often), but housing is only ridiculous in certain areas. I bought my current house for $25k 2 years ago, which admittedly was a great deal, but it was only listed for $45k to start. It’s not big, it’s not super nice and needed a few minor…

And that skilled job goes to Mexico for $15/day instead.

Pirelli World Challenge is what you’re looking for.
