Estimates of neuronal numbers -- the product of neuronal thickness times density -- were 13% higher in males than in females, with mean male-to-female ratios of 1.13 in both hemispheres. The data provide morphologic evidence of considerable cerebral cortical dimorphism with the demonstration of significantly higher neuronal densities and neuronal number estimates in males, though with similar mean cortical thickness, implying a reciprocal increase in neuropil/neuronal processes in the female cortex.
Nessie, Yeti, an honorable candidate for the Presidency, and a pirate are at a four-way crossing of the roads, equidistant from a trunk full of treasure.
On your mark, get set, go: who gets to the treasure first?
There's no such thing as Nessie, there's no such thing as the Yeti, and there's no such thing as an honorable Presidential candidate... Winner Pirate.
You know, really, there's very little new under the sun; but when a company with worldwide impact adopts an energy strategy that's efficient and progressive, my hat's off to them.
They don't have to care about the conservation of resources, and yet, they do.
Measure this against countless corporate juggernauts who give less than a damn.
If this isn't a lack of confidence vote on the state of fiat currency, Time magazine will be revealed as offering Kim Jong-un its Man of the Year award, upon a conditional photo shoot.
It's interesting to note these scientists have just introduced the discovery of a natural phenomenon that creates rare atomic isotopes previously associated with cosmic rays entering earth's atmosphere, and are at once certain " the isotopes created by these storms likely constitute a small portion of all such atoms."
I had been mousing, wiping, writing, and rubbing one out right-handed for years, when a well-intentioned move of my sister's belongings to a storage complex resulted in a rather horrific crushing of my preferred appendage. Carrying the heaviest piece of furniture she owned, my lead heel caught the slight elevation of the rainstop at the storage compartment's door, and rather than drop the overbuilt bookcase, I rather foolishly attempted to catch it.
My best two mates at the time were rather comforting in their collective, stated assessment that "You'll never use that hand again!"
I know you'll be relieved to discover my right hand was salvageable, but to this day, I mouse and wipe with the devil's hand, and I'm no worse for it.
Perhaps hand preference is merely that, and there's no deeper meaning.
This is simply more legislation that helps a few at the expense of the many.
Party line item issues like net neutrality are, and always have been, planks that political platforms are constructive of. Record voter turnout in 2012 (63.6% of eligible voters) was only slightly down in the 2016 election cycle (61.4%), so we can't blame voter malaise; perhaps the two-party system itself is becoming untenable. I suspect even the most ardent supporters of party line voting have some difficulty agreeing with every tenet proffered by an individual party line.
Perhaps it's time to cease defending your voting choice as the lesser of the two evils and demand more from our governors. Until there is a legitimate threat to the illusion of choice administered by the Big Two, these freedoms we too often take for granted will continue to find themselves at the whim of a pen stroke of the next administration.
We can always still vote with our wallets, sighhh, but the corporate landscape is as depressing a place for a referendum as politics has become.
The meteoric rise of ride-share companies was in direct response to the dreadful track record of the entrenched taxi industry, with their poor service history, fare gouging, and competition-restricting medallion allotment system in large cities.
The most important characteristic for advancement in business and politics seems to be a sociopath's lack of any moral conviction.
Joe Sullivan, the recently dismissed chief of security and a former federal prosecutor (formerly employed by the Facebook) has been at the center of much of the decision-making that has backfired on Uber this year.
No Lee Iacocca, his reign begins to resemble a Marissa Mayer salvation.
What would be the advantage for Google to collect data on which cellphone tower I am nearest? It seems likely the upside is pretty small compared to the fallout if/when they get caught, right?
Unless. There will be no more than a modicum of outrage over this latest privacy transgression, outside of a few techie and personal freedom-centric circles.
"Google is spying on your location without your approval!"
"Hmmmm... Missed that, but: Did you hear Charlie Rose is a groper, too?"
At least NASA has done those, according to Business Insider.
Effect from the dam filling to the rotation time seems to be just 0,06 microseconds.
We've long suspected that dams could do this, simply because when you shift the weight of the water around the globe, it affects the way the globe spins on its axis. It's the same as how a figure skater can spin faster by holding her arms above her head.
Natural variations in the earth's rotation occur regularly, due to ice melt patterns and such, but it would be ill-advised to discount anthropogenic additions to a poorly understood planet-wide ecosystem. Only a planet dominated by a species that was science-challenged would make that mistake.
A smart person is just someone who says something you don't know.
Well said.
Here's one I came across googling like a drooling idiot/imbecile/moron:
Escape velocity reduces as you get further away from the Earth. If you proceed upwards at a constant speed of 1 mph (which as noted will require continuous thrust to counteract gravity), you will eventually reach a distance where the escape velocity is equal to 1 mph. Then, you will have reached escape velocity and are no longer gravitationally bound to the Earth.
Many thanks to the Parent and the Grandparent... I'll likely be red-eyed tomorrow driving to the deer lease after spending way too much time reaearching orbital velocity conundrums and scale model wind tunnels.
Amazon's claim-to-fame is next-to-nothing shipping.
Walmart recently bought Jet and Zoro, and though the Walton heirs will still be purchasing the name-brand milk this week, Jeff Bezos just became world's richest man.

Seemingly, prescription opiates, methamphetamines, and cheap, easily available fast food also play right into the hands of the net profit of society.

I spilled a glass of water on the floor earlier today.
I'm sorry for your loss, but hey, the bright side is it could've been single malt Scotch.
If by "interesting" you mean I have a general distrust of everything ever including science" then sure, let's go with that.
Or. If it seems "thou doth protest too much," and your defensive behavior maketh you seem suspicious, my skepticism may not be completely unwarranted.
Thiel's a bigot-faggot and you're his personal cheerleader. You should ask him out.
Ask him out? Dumbass. How do you think I got to be his personal cheerleader?
Thiel may be easy to dislike, but he beat Gawker like a rented mule.

Russia expects to be taken seriously about anything they have to say? Why?
And yet Trump says he trusts Putin.....
I think an important distinction to be made is that the average American is not Trump in much the same vein as the average Russian is not Putin.
It's simply that average people lack the sociopathic characteristics necessary to rise to power in modern politics.

Let's say you only want to keep the breach quiet...
No Social Security numbers, credit card details, trip location info or other data were taken, Uber said.
Given Uber's track record, this is the guarantee equivalent of "The check's in the mail" and "No, those jeans don't make you look fat."
Unless. There will be no more than a modicum of outrage over this latest privacy transgression, outside of a few techie and personal freedom-centric circles.

Let's not name it or decide how weird it is yet, thanks.
Really ... what the fuck is that name anyway. At least give us a name we can pronounce.
FTA: oh MOO-uh MOO-uh
Now, you too can sound erudite at the office water cooler.
Segue to the "I'm a cow" poster.
Did you do the calculations for that ?
At least NASA has done those, according to Business Insider.

Two things so far:
Some of the posters on here are way too f*cking smart.
