  1. Overweight people fared just fine, and other studies show they live longer than underweight people. Perhaps it would be worth another look at just what is defined as "overweight"?

  2. Re:Its an excuse on North Korea Hopes To Plant Flag On The Moon Within 10 Years (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but since the U.S. has shown no interest in the moon it would be only logical for someone else to step up.

  3. Re: Ionizing radiation linked to circulatory disea on Study: Astronauts Who Reach Deep Space 'Far More Likely To Die From Heart Disease' (independent.co.uk) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's not the 1990s, Slashdot; fix your unicode support. It's ridiculous that I can't type a thorn here.

    Thorn.

    There, I typed it for you.

  4. Free Markets on Using VPN in UAE Could Cost You $545,000 (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Those who have an issue with these laws will simply move to nations that do not have them.

  5. Carbon Dioxide? on The Most Popular Product Of All Time · · Score: 0

    The most popular product of all time would have to be carbon dioxide. Without it the vast majority of plants that sustain animal life could not survive.

  6. But then the wrong lizard might win! on Clinton Campaign: Russia Leaked Emails to Help Trump (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Look, we all hate lizards. But just think how bad things will be if "their" lizard is in control!

  7. I'm not going to disagree. All I know is that my Nokia N900, having survived more than a few drops, is still going strong after 7 years. Yes, there is that spot on the screen where I mistook for an ash tray on night, but it is fully functionally.

  8. Re:You are Fucking Right We do on The Case Against a Universal Basic Income (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    EVERYONE should work.

    And before you get started, just tell me how you feel about Clinton getting more money for one speech than many will make in a Lifetime. Or her bitch spawn getting 6 figure, no show job...It's like the Sopranos with these people.

    So speaking is not work? It's pretty obvious why no one will pay you to speak.

    The Mandate for naming the RSS Boaty McBoatface was clear. The mandate for leaving the EU is not. Guess which we're doing!

    This is why I love the British, their sense of humor makes a joke of everything. "Boaty McBoatface", "Leave the EU", it's all the same to them.

    Totally agree! My girlfriends all are totally turned off by aluminum raincoats.

    I ignore such tripe. Or, at least I will as long as I can recognize spam as spam.

    So aluminum is the culprit then? I've heard that but not convinced enough by the evidence to quit buying reynold's wrap.

    it was Iran giving them a gift and they just ran with it.

    If it weren't for pussy weakling Republicans willing to sellout to Iran he would have had a second term and our great Nation would be on a solid progressive course.

    It indicates to me that the British don't take such votes very seriously. But yes, I can see how a nation that would vote to name a royal ship "Boaty McBoatface" would also vote to leave the EU. It's all just a joke after all.

    Okay, for those of us who do take voting seriously, how did those papers convince people who otherwise would have voted to stay pull the leave lever instead?

  19. So we can infer by those results that around 30% didn't care either way then and would accept either result. By choosing not to vote their feelings on the matter were in fact tabulated.

    So the biased papers had people believing that if they voted "leave" they would "stay"?

  21. The wording on Theresa May Becomes UK's 'Spy Queen' and New Prime Minister (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1, Informative

    * Remain a member of the European Union
    * Leave the European Union

    Nothing in those two questions asks about who governs Britain. Those are very straight up questions. Stay or stay not was the question, and the majority of Brits clearly chose to stay not.

    So most Britains didn't understand the voting "leave" meant you would leave?

    More people voted to leave than to stay. How is that not democratic?

    If those elected don't vote how those who elected them would vote, they certainly wouldn't be representative would they?
