You post some misinformation.

Even after I blew my ACL in high school football (while being quite omnivorous), I healed up and went vegan and still managed to bike 40 miles around DC's trails in the middle of the night with my friends. It was good times.

Excess calories make you fat. Meat can have a high fat content, and protein (amino acids) cannot be stored so it is converted to fat by the body. It's just that the conversion process is pretty quick in carbohydrate metabolism. The body does not like to waste nutrients, which is why the storage happens no matter what…

"It turns out you can't just cut animal protein out of your diet completely without taking serious consideration into how you'll replace it."

Stereotype much? I'm a vegan. I don't eat that much in the way of processed foods and "fake meats" and most of my vegan friends are the same way. A lot of vegans are vegans for reasons other than what is considered "unnatural," so your argument is moot.

It's too bad they didn't give it AT&T bands, too, since the FCC will probably OK the merger/buyout.

I think he was mostly talking about how Nokia dominates in volume much more so than quality. They sell many more phones than other manufacturers, but a lot of the writers on tech blogs believe that Nokia's phone software is lagging in smoothness and other aspects. I don't have much experience with Nokia's smartphone…

Re-read my comment. I did not deny the effect of genetics and I did not deny that there are inherent differences between the sexes. In fact, I generally believe genetics are more important than environmental factors in many instances. My point was that it's not all or nothing.

I hate to be the one to bring this up, but the liberal arts student (who eventually completed a degree in molecular biology) in me will not shut up. Gender does not equal sex. Biology helps determine hormone levels and genetic predispositions associated with sex, but gender is largely determined by cultural forces. …

I have nothing to hide, but I do have a problem with the IDEA of someone looking. I don't want to be treated like a criminal by the people I love. I'll object very loudly because I disagree with snooping on principle. You're using the same justification that some politicians use when excusing the actions of cops/TSA…

I'm with you Kyle, 100%. Also, I don't like topics like these on Gizmodo because they bring out the misogynistic element in droves.

LOL. Right on, dude. I finally saw the Planned Parenthood funding disagreement and it was 0.008% of the budget that was holding politicians back from reaching agreement.

Ha, I've traveled to many countries in the past 10 years and I can't count how many times people assumed that because I was American that I supported GWB. The whole Americans Are All Assholes (AAAA) prejudice was so strong that many of my colleagues just started telling people in other countries that they were…

I've heard smart people suggest that gutting the government and reducing its funding is a strategic attempt by some politicians to prove how ineffective the government really is. By stripping funding of services that help the poor or protect the environment, those services will fail and thus prove that servicing the…

The line above X is also shorthand for a mean/average. This particular formula uses a little peculiar notation, but it's basically the calculation for an average.

That comment deserves a *slow clap*.

Basically, no one should compare themselves to the average weight of a population because the outliers (very small and very large people) will skew the average up or down based on how many of them there are. For every 6'5 240 lb guy, there is someone very small to make the average end up somewhere in the middle; I…

For those of you complaining because you're over 185 lbs, just look at this picture for a minute:

185 is a reasonable average for all people (maybe adults, specifically, but I'm not sure). If you're super tall, a healthy weight would be more than that, and the opposite if you're much shorter than the average. I'm sure the average includes differences in muscle mass, but in any case, Americans are just larger now. …

Yeah, but the average height of Americans is lower than 6'0 when you factor in women and different genetics of different immigrant groups. For instance, my family is from Mexico and Nicaragua, so being 5'8 I'm pretty short compared to my male classmates in the States, but pretty average when compared to all my…
