Pro tip - don't take your health advice from news articles. Also, if the title is hyperbolic, pay extra non-attention to it.

I could probably give a nice rant for each distro I've tried and why they're all horrible. Ubuntu is probably my favorite, but IMO there is no "good" when it comes to OS's. Every s…

Thanks! Trying to read that is like trying to learn an entire new language by reading a sentence in it. Way too many words to already understand what it's even defining (commutativ…

Ah I love it when my error is so simple that there isn't any question in my mind I missed something.

I know I'm wrong, but it feels like tis' in the definition of what a prime factor is, a prime factor being the fundamental indivisible integers. If so, considering that multiples o…

I feel like we're just no longer the shiny hotness. I think a lot of people WANT to be self-made self-taught semi-low-level language programmers. I listen to a lot of podcasts. My …

Yeah, nothing they've ever done was a success...?

why would the GPL matter for using gcc? It's not like you're modifying, distributing, and selling forks of gcc, it's just a compiler.

WE are richer, you are not.

It would be weird if it was exactly half. Mean isn't median after all.

What exercise is better for improving my cooking skill? What about the exercise that's best for my alcohol consumption? If you want to improve your brain, it's important to be heal…

you never cut yourself? Parts of my neck were nicked repeatedly in the first month. Most interesting part was that not once did it actually hurt, it was just that sharp. Still thou…

My kids aren't that old yet, but "interesting" is a still a good description. The world through the eyes of a 3 year old is pretty comical. Dinosaurs? the best thing in the world. …

That sounds pretty legitimate. My first thought is that what you're worth is not what you want, and not according to your contribution to productivity. You're paid according to wha…

In Star Trek Enterprise a body from the future had DNA fragments from something like a dozen different "species". Vulcans, Klingon, and Human were all included. The thing about lif…

what makes 20-30% reasonable? Just don't say "because it feels right".

I would assume it all depends on who in the government touched it. "The government" is a lot of people that don't share much expertise. Some of them have shown a lot of expertise h…

This is amazing, and I need to work on my arithmetic.

They're better than average, but you have to be willing to question what they say. I know too many people who just trusted the doctor and then had the doctor make some minor slip-u…

I had a coworker tell me that they had the cold and that they're taking an antibiotic for it. We went on a back and forth, with me repeatedly telling him that antibiotics would mak…

At some point, yes. But that's not the first place they're tested. The first place their tested could simply be a petri dish, as penicillin was. Then it goes up the ranks into mamm…

Poor guy. He reminds me of Leshrac from Dota 2. Lots of deep philosophy, leads to nihilism. Here's one of the multiple big problems. Learning that arguments are often not valid is …

Here is the difference: If you try to replicate a fact, you'll succeed If you try to disprove a fact, you'll fail If you find rebuttles to a fact, they'll be hollow The only thing …

The title annoys me. Being "human" antibiotics is irrelevant. They don't kill humans, and they're not human specific. They're just basic antibiotics. If you were to cut out the ala…
