That was my understanding too. 

Yes. As a corollary, “How do these people have that much money?” Always shocked by the budgets people have. Though I live in a place where 3 bedroom condos go for $1 million+, so I can't be too critical.

Brownian motion pearls! 

My bad, sloppy writing. I meant that ME:A should have been built with the same engine as the previous games in the series (Unreal?). The Frostbite troubles were extensively documented on multiple game sites.

I hadn’t read that. Wow.

If I remember correctly, EA corporate demanded that they use Frostbite. That being said, Bioware leadership should have done a better job pushing back.

I wish I could give you two stars. One for this, and another for your follow-up comment/joke. I’m in the same boat.

Yes, “shingles” is the result of the chicken pox virus emerging from dormancy in immunocompromised individuals.

That's my go to. It's very effective. Nothing quite like adorable, lamb shaped gravestones to drive an argument.

Yup, people freak out over Ebola, when Influenza kills 5-10x more people in the US per year. Likewise it's responsible for the worst pandemic since the black death.

Very true. I'm sure Jezebel's catered to whatever Gilead's elite fancied. Hypocrisy isn't hypocrisy when you make the rules.

No the FDA has a much better track record. Most notably it never approved Thalidomide though thr European FDA equivalent did. More recently, they allowed Biotrial to perform a very flawed study with deadly consequences. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/02/french-company-bungled-clinical-trial-led-death-and-illness-…

Yandy missed a golden opportunity. Were I in charge of the design, I would have made it show about an inch more ankle and elbow. That's how you make a sexy handmaiden costume. 

Show dem'Earthers SaSa!

I whole heatedly agree, the biology is more complex and nauced then we previously thought. For simplicity’s sake, biologists have stuck with “sexes” to describe XX and XY. It’s a useful if imperfect shorthand.

Arrg, as someone in the medical field that crap pisses me off. Did they not find the breaks on an x-ray? Did they jump straight to an MRI?

Quick correction: sex is binary, gender is not.

Merconium, oh boy. I can deal with every other body fluid but merconium...nope.

Whenever I have people over for dinner, I always ask if they have dietary restrictions or allergies. If they say that they have an allergy, I follow up with, “if you eat x, what happens.” I ask this so that I can plan food prep accordingly. 

I think judging someone by an an opinion they held 30+ years ago is unfair. (People do change after all.) Rather, we should determine if those previously held beliefs continue to inform his decision making. In that sense, VP Biden is still woefully out of touch.
