If people used their time to study and learn new things instead of fretting about their exercise, they'd be able to interpret the results of studies like these.

Great stuff. You might want to consider adding Borderlands 2 into your list. It's basically Diablo 3 from the scifi first person (shooter) view. In addition to being refreshingly h…

No it wasn't a situation like that. It was just that some papers needed to be delivered to someone (don't want to go into details). There were two relevant people: the doctor and t…

Another alternative that I've run into. Visiting a doctor friend of mine. She needed to deliver some papers to another room and summoned the nurse for that. I joked that why you ca…

Apple would've gone nowhere with their pricing with NeXT. NeXT station was basically a Silicon Graphics workstation for developers and cost 8000, about four times as much as a high…

Yeah, the western RPG genre had become these "inventory management" or "taking notes" games. They made up for the lack of enhancing and balancing combat and developing AI with thes…

The menial tasks you can do in these games were a mistake in my opinion. For example, the overly complex UI in Ultima Underworld and Ultima VII was more or less just to facilitate …

Both your doctors were correct: high fat diet is unhealthy and vitamins don't help cancer (unless you mean help it grow).

I'm actually considering just buying a new battery for my Note 3 and S8+ is way out of my price range for maybe two years and the competitors are offering interesting phones at ver…

As a user, my experience is the opposite (Note 3). And that's what matters in the long run. The question is more whether they can keep up bringing new stuff into their high-end pho…

Agree with this one. Chrome has a much worse UI (hides commonly used stuff under menus) than Samsung's "Internet" and is just as fast. At least File Browser, Calculator are good. S…

It says in your link that it's equally likely in general and regional anesthesia. Moreover it says it's more likely in cardiac operations where blood flow into the brain is disturb…

Ugh, your comment is so stupid I can't even be bothered to think of a proper reply.

This is the correct answer. Mobility is more important than exercise. You'll lose mobility by breaking bones.

Not really. Take your 30 minutes of exercise per week that will reduce the chance of dying by 1% (2% is for the forrest gumps). Let's say you can do that by spending 60 minutes a d…

Exactly. 20% or 40% sounds really big. In reality, you're maybe lowering your chance to die (during some time) by less than 2% by exercising almost constantly. Now, if you're not e…

I recommend you take basic university statistics. Especially study efficacy vs effectiveness so you might have an idea how you're being mislead here.

Um, no. 3.84% to 2.08% being an approx 40% reduction is exactly what is being avoided currently in research since its reduction of less than 2 percentage units. Imagine a medicatio…

It doesn't change the fact that if you take approx 150 from each of the activity groups, the cohort study will tell: Approximately 5 from the "slobs" will die. Approximately 4 from…

Yeah, it has its weaknesses and also from my comment below: "So I read the study for fun and the non-adjusted rates are 3.84% death rate (cohort study) in no exercise vs. 2.35% in …

I really don't understand those numbers. Surely mortality is 100% regardless of exercise. How was the study designed? So I read the study for fun and the non-adjusted rates are 3.8…

No it's more than that. "unsigned char[20]" already has at least three potential points of failure (and why isn't it uint8 anyways). Moreover, it'll be referenced as unsigned char*…

Well, this whole mess proves that Linus was wrong. Typing "unsigned char [20]" everywhere is beyond amateurish to me in any case and raises a concern about the overall quality of c…

As for orienting the map, it's common practice in sports and army at least. You're _supposed_ to orient the map according to your surroundings and the direction you are facing. It'…

Yuck. Just the normal nutrition crap with no real studies to back up the claims. The biochemistry may be sound to a point but the conclusions about ageing and positive health effec…
