I think from the part of the sentence that you took out it was clear the point was about consoles. The Atari Pong console was also successful but I tend to not count it as I was on…

It’s a fair point but also back in the day - “everybody” (especially the younger BBS and hobbyist crowd) incorrectly referred to them as 1200 baud or 2400 or even 9600 baud modem -…

Wow, people like to shit on Apple, but this is yet another example of something that just works.

QR code is not particularly dense (like compared to something like a hard drive) - why waste space that could not be put towards more redundancy (error correction)?

This is not an RCT nor does it point to one supporting your uric acid claims. And Lustig is well known, he's on the border of being a crackpot, unfortunately. Mehmet Oz is a profes…

This is a non-response - or do you have a specific cite linking uric acid as causative of diabetes or cardiovascular disease? It can be in a colorectal journal for all I care. > Ha…

If we’re talking about sugar soft drinks in the US this is invariably HFCS.

Sucrose is hydrolyzed in the gut by the enzyme α-glucosidase into glucose and fructose. Without any other absorptive buffer, it's basically the same.

You are confusing Crohn's, an inflammatory bowel condition that is life long and can often be disfiguring and requiring surgery with IBS which is completely unrelated, non-inflamma…

There are actually biologic treatments for Crohn's/UC, not everyone responds but they produce remission which can spare or prolong time to surgery for many.
