  1. Re:People forget theres no such thing as a free lu on 'Exercise-In-A-Pill' Boosts Athletic Endurance By 70 Percent, Study Finds (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    For the majority of our time on earth we have been subject to limited food supplies. People in first world countries are now at a point where they are able to regularly eat more than their bodies naturally burn, usually unintentionally. If we could teach our bodies this, we would be able to make better use of the available energy. Now, whether this drug is a safe way to do that is an entirely different issue.

    And the prosecution is welcome to force their way into the phone any way they can, but they can't compel you to give them information.

  3. Does the prosecution have proof that the recording was taken under oath (making the statement a crime if false) or some proof that the statement was true? If not, you might be able to prove the extortion, but that shouldn't allow you to force them to incriminate themselves further.

  4. So maybe instead of going public about how Facebook is biased against women they should instead get them to start doing blind submissions, and only go public about it if they refuse or the data holds true.

    I wouldn't use this person as an example. Trump said that Mexico wasn't sending us their best and brightest. If this person were used as example it would be proof that he was right, not that he was wrong.

    From the description it seems this bra is intended to be worn for an hour or so once a week for the test rather than worn all day as a normal garment.

    No one is expecting fossil fuel plants to just be switched off, what most expect is to build new plants of new types to replace old plants as they're increasingly nonviable.

    I think you're very mistaken there, many people expect exactly that.

  9. Re:who are cyclists? on Cycling To Work Can Cut Cancer and Heart Disease (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Note, this is all based on the US, I'm not sure about the societal differences in Denmark.

    Living 6 miles from work is still fairly close. As for children, parents often have to personally deal with emergencies. This will usually mean a similar distance to their commute to get to where their child is and once there, they need to be able to transport their child. As for expensive, the GP was saying it was a lifestyle that most of us couldn't do, not that we can't afford it financially.

    They started adding dedicated bike lanes around here... between the parked cars and the sidewalks. I'm not sure if they're trying to make biking safer or eliminate bikers through natural selection.

  11. While the GP's complaint is fairly minor, a more serious error appears earlier in the summary when the author states that the brighter destination star allows for increased deceleration resulting in increased travel times. Spending some time proofreading can save a lot more time later explaining what you actually meant.

  12. Again, even if you use all these new methods, it won't beat using all these new methods plus hydro.

  13. No matter how much solar you use, it can't compare to using that much solar plus hydro.

  14. If everywhere had as much hydro available as Norway, most of the world would be at 99% renewables.

  15. Re:Thought the CBC tests were discredited on Subway Sues Canada Network Over Claim Its Chicken Is 50 Percent Soy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, Subway has drastically more soy than anyone else, in their teriyaki chicken.

  16. The chicken in the chicken teriyaki is close to 100% chicken. The teriyaki sauce on the chicken contains about as much identifiable soy DNA as the chicken contains identifiable chicken DNA.

  17. Re: Irrelevant Studies on Subway Sues Canada Network Over Claim Its Chicken Is 50 Percent Soy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    More likely the soy is from the teriyaki sauce or similar that subway puts on their chicken. The DNA from the soy is far more intact and so makes up a much larger percent of the identifiable DNA than its portion of the source material.

  18. Re: Two studies on Subway Sues Canada Network Over Claim Its Chicken Is 50 Percent Soy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    If the other restaurants do not use soy as a seasoning, there will be much less identifiable soy DNA in the sample. The DNA in the raw meat will generally be somewhat degraded by time and processing while the DNA in a marinade or the like will be relatively intact.

    Maybe the other fast food places use chicken meat from cannibal chickens.

    Taxpayers are frequently against things that they pay for, they may even cheer for suits like this. Usually without ever considering the fact that they will have to pay for it.

    I'm inclined to agree with you, but just for the sake of argument. A possible explanation is that the hidden potential comes with a downside that causes those that activate that potential to be less likely to pass on their genes.
