This isn't an adaptive resistance; like Nitesh said, this was a one time injection. If you gave a population of dogs euthanasia injections like this, and then bred the ones that somehow survived, it would be very likely that you would end up with a euthanasia-resistant population of dogs after several generations.

In both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, the main pathology is loss of neurons, not myelin. Demyelination is not a hallmark trait of either disease.

So, you're saying that positive feedback loops exist? In nature and other complex systems? My god, this news is something I never would have imagined! Shout it from the rooftops!

I thought part of the reason metals have such good conductivity is that their crystal structure allowed for freer electron movement. This is just a vague notion I remember from somewhere; am I totally wrong about this?

I would say that most people don't own their workplace, and therefore, the workplace can do whatever it wants. If you want to be able to get on FB while at work, then get a contract that says you're allowed. (And if you're employed on an at-will basis? Tough cookies, it's at-will.)

I'd be interested to know how these materials perform in the areas of 1) electrical conductivity, 2) magnetic properties, and 3) corrosion resistance.

In relative terms, all solids are supercooled liquids, then, yes?

We must return to the moon. Why? Because moon hole.

"All they really have to do is ship up some airlocks, plastic sealant, and some oxygen and bingo ready to live on the Moon!"

In their defense, SunChips labeled the original, loud bags as being 100% compostable, implying that maybe they knew about the limitations of landfills.

Oh, I don't mean to sound like I have anything against hipsters. I just consider hipsters to be young, usually urban kids who gather around that particular culture, and claim a degree of solidarity from it. I also consider them harmless. They're no different from other youth cultures that came before (punks, mods,…

I guess I still don't know what you mean by "indie kid" then. Is an indie kid just any person who likes indie music? Because that would include most hipsters. Or do they like indie music, but don't care about youth fashion? Can you be a "hipster" under your classification if you still like Arcade Fire, but you also…

I'd be a bit wary of a "miracle cancer scan" (which is how it will be marketed) that has a specificity of only 67%.

Aren't those various markers the same things they stain for in immunohistochemistry? Is it that NMR can detect them with higher sensitivity and specificity, or are they just newer and better markers?

You're using non-existent divisions to break down hipsters into sub-classifications that make some hipsters seem better than other hipsters? Sounds like something a hipster would do.

My inner tool-guy says: They really could've made a purpose-built stand of some sort rather than burning the shit out of those ladders.

Why do you insist on seeing this game as taking advantage of poor people's plight? The game was made to put you in a situation that you might otherwise not understand. It exists exclusively for the well-off to be attracted to, and to educate them and increase their awareness about the problem. Making it into a video…

There's definitely a visible change at 0:45 as the water moves across the "top" of the structure. It's either a tricky edit or outright image manipulation.

Since when do you have to sterilize yogurt? It's a culture. The good bacteria (and their by products, namely lactic acid in this case) are all that is needed to inhibit the growth of nasty organisms. How else do you think people made it for, oh, 3000 years or so before anyone even came up with germ theory?

Maybe "Soft-Boil an Egg Perfectly"?
