I’m surprised Pebble isn’t doing better than it is. I bought one for my wife; there was a great deal at the time and she was interested in it. She loved it enough that I got her a Pebble Time Steel a year or so later, then I got a refurbished Pebble Time for myself, and I also quickly grew to appreciate it for how it…

They don’t have a pill, no, but there has been some really promising research on a minimally-invasive alternative to a vasectomy that I’m keeping my eye on. Essentially, it’s an injection of a biologically inert kind of gel that just sort of hangs out in the connective tissues between the testicles and the urethra.…

I’m sorry to hear about your experience with Mirena, and I don’t doubt you (medicine is way, WAY more personal and frankly experimental than people often think it is), but at the same time, I’m also rather surprised to hear your description of things.

It’s like that old joke: “I spent 30 years working in the mines, and do they call me ‘coal miner Joe?’ No. I raised 3 great kids, do they call me ‘Papa Joe?’ No. But you suck just ONE dick...”

I don’t wish to speak for MatisyahuSerious, but I did want to say, real quick, there’s a world of difference between what someone is TOLD, and what someone is TAUGHT. I believe (and dearly HOPE) that the vast majority if not basically all men/boys in this country are TOLD at some point in their lives to respect women…

It may be easier to just find a man to do the math, than explaining it.

I disagree completely: It’s way, too, too repetitive.

I believe most if not all surface-mount web cam modules run the power LED in line with the circuit for the actual camera, making it impossible for the camera to function without the indicator light if so.

...and even the job you’re tasked with is, often, worse than useless; if your staff needs a “principal,” then either you or the people you manage aren’t very good at their jobs. I mean no offense by that; we do all kinds of shit absolutely backwards with regards to work.

You’ve hit the nail on the head, there: Under the best of conditions, threesomes still feature too many elbows and such for my taste, but they barely work at all if you don’t elect one person to be “the princess” the other two primarily focus on. In fact, back when I was dating two women when there were three of us,…

neat info, thanks!

If no bidirectional communication is possible on that port, how do all those credit card scanners and other devices that ONLY plug into the headphone jack work, exactly? I realize that those devices probably only communicate one way (Device > phone), but it’s the opposite way that headphones use, and it’s the same…

That’s where you’ll find the most convincing evidence and preponderance of studies, yes, but cannibis has been shown to straight up shrink tumors in some preliminary, small scale trials. promising results, if not conclusive yet.

No chance of placebo effect, no, but with a sample size of 1 and no control, one can’t exactly rule out confirmation bias/anecdotal evidence nes pas?

I want it too, but I understand why they didn’t - the misfires would be too frequent.

oh, man. You had me for a bit there. I tip my hat to you, sir. You are literally the greatest troll in the history of hyperbolic discourse.

I’m not saying science is stupid, I’m saying applying scientific rigor to a smaller sample size than your average infomercial anecdotal endorsement count is well-intentioned, but almost without any genuine value, as those reporting these findings acknowledged in their own press release.

100% of men that were my dad died of complications from pneumonia and dementia. My sample size is only 14% of theirs, sure, but I thought it was worth publishing

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you people.

Bee, Oliver, Colbert....Just absolutely KILLING it right now. Jon Stewart must have some kind of super power; either for finding these absolute WIZARDS of snark, or forging talented people into them. Either way, this is a power that needs to be harnessed to the very fullest.
