  2. Re:Vegan mums today. on Eating Meat Helped Early Humans Reproduce · · Score: 0

    You do understand that anecdotal evidence is useful. In the parents cases it is a useful and valid example. In your case, it isn't. Assuming from the context of the parents statement, they are giving a counter example to the statement "Since meat eating mums were important to human evolution, today only meat eating mums wean early." In this case the simplest response, one that supports the statement of Elia Psouni, is an anecdote. If i assert that no two numbers add to make 4, the parent equivocally said, "3 and 1 make 4". Whereas your response reads more like "5 and 7 do not make 4; obviously, you're(parent - 3+1) wrong."

    Making a ticket proportional to wealth is just discrimination

    Making someone pay a $200 ticket who is on an income of $26K when compared to someone who with an income of 100K is "just discrimination." If the intent of issuing tickets is to deter unsafe driving than .7% of income for the poor person is discriminatory when compared to .2% for the well-off person. As someone who was a few years ago below the 26K mark and now near 100K I can say that getting a ticket is less troublesome to me now.

  5. Re:I don't need software to tell me how much caffe on Optimizing Your Caffeine Intake With an App · · Score: 1

    It tastes so good, that's why i'm addicted. I'm constantly on and off coffee. I hate the caffeine but love the taste. I'm on decaf now but it tastes bad. What I don't get is people who need to add cream & sugar. Why not just drink soda at that point?

  8. Re:Simple solution on Response To California's Large-Screen TV Regulation · · Score: 1

    "If you want people to use less electricity charge" We all saw how well this worked when gas prices hit $4. People are not willing to drive less or even willing to drive sanely. Driving sane not only gets one to their destination within the same minute, but saves 10% in fuel. "If you want people to use less electricity charge" It's called cap and trade

  9. Re:Kids prefer that cold, dry, digital sizzle. on Can We Really Tell Lossless From MP3? · · Score: 1

    I would love to try to look at this kind of thing with electroencephalography. Is there a noticeable change in the brain when music is enjoyed in different formats? What about the loudness effect? Google scholar: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=EEG++music&btnG=Search&as_sdt=2000&as_ylo=&as_vis=0
