Thank You! but thanks to this Kinja fun, I can't tell which reply you mean. I bet it was that atikins person though who was raging on Dr E.L., my favorite io9 oncologist. And really, the whole point of my reply was just to show off about my cholesterol levels.

Yea, the calories thing is true, but satiation depends on more than calories. Other nutrients in a general sense, nutrients relative to individual personal nutrient deficit, food volume, aforementioned glucose spikes and crashes, those really complicated satiation hormones. Dunno, never studied it past the…

From other posts, I'd venture that his specialty is oncology. Which involves a lot of schooling involving a lot of biology and science in general, which is probably why he got his basic facts right. Which is probably why he's not trying to make a broad generalization based on a single anecdotal case. For example,…

Cool. It's campy fan fun. I like it.

Artfilm?!? Plot holes are plot holes, stupid is stupid, I've never heard them excused as art. Really pretty scenery aside, I don't think you can compare this to 'the seventh seal', at least not in a complimentary way. This movie totally could have maintained its themes, metaphors, allusions and motifs without…

and yet it captured dead pool a kabillion times better than the big budget wolverine movie. if these ppl don't actually help write the dead pool movie they should be asked to read it over and give input.

I love mouse guard as much as I love dinotopia (a lot)

I think patience is a problem for most adults, let alone most kids. Patience, self control and persistence in the face of failure or frustration are what I've seen make for kids who have a future in science versus not.

I've always used the definition that it is when the plant is living off the energy stored in the seed rather then via photosynthesis. But that's just what is in my head from somewhere, I've never really looked it up.

What about ppl who live alone because they find living with others stressful. My blood pressure has been much better since I stopped living with family and friends.

Yes, when I read this title I thought of the time I had to give myself a mini heimlech. Damn tofu hot dogs.

Alien?

I have wondered about this given how prevalent alcohol was thru history. So many cultures basically used wine as their primary beverage that I have to imagine pregnant women drank it too. So maybe ppl of the past had lower IQ's, I guess we can't test them.

yea, it problematic trying to convince ppl to like a thing by misrepresenting what it is. Then when they try it, they are even more pissed off. It's not just this video or a gender issue. In US education there is a push to get more kids in science by making it "fun". And while it's nice to get away from making…

thanks for the vid. so was that a cosmetics ad? seriously I have seen body wash commercials that have more to do with science.

I have trouble watching movies like this because I think they are all too possible and there is nothing I can do about it but ignore it.

wow just wow. I want the book costume. I will wear it everyday. If you are at the grocery store and you see someone wearing it, that is me.

And chemotherapy in general started with mustard gas! Has io9 done an article about poisons that have turned into medicines? if not, I would like them to do one.

You might want to say 'germinate plants in complete darkness" rather than grow. Since germination is the stage where they don't need light. Lima bean seeds are good for this and they last a while in the dark. Certainly long enough for you to start them growing up, then suspend them upside down and watch them…

wow, you have no idea what schizophrenia is. This statement is so wrong. Really you might want to delete it.
