  1. My apologies. My brain automatically filtered out the parts of your comment that were less than worthless and what remained was just "xyz google service uses go"

  2. So we are listening to a neo-pagan gun rights advocate who denies global warming. He seems like a perfectly rational bloke!

    Could you please take this story, and re-post it somewhere like Vanity Fair. It seems odd that you identify a problem caused by 97% of the population, and then tell the remaining 3% that it's their fault.

    Wow, clearly you remained anonymous in order to protect yourself from the embarrassment of having people tell you how monumentally stupid you sound.
    1. Not everything that a centrist sees as unpalatable gets blamed on the left, we point a lot of fingers at the right too, and then have fucktards like yourself bleating out "Far right" and "Far left", depending on which vantage point said fucktard has. Not realizing they're the one's being radical and shouting at a centrist.
    2. Go look up the "Appeal to definition fallacy" as you might not say such retarded shit if you knew what that was.

    I don't know if you've noticed the recent emergence of fascists running around, trying to destroy free speech, getting people fired and shouting "FASCIST" at anyone who disagrees with them, all while being completely blind to the irony of the situation. That is exactly how you sound.

  11. Re-read what I wrote, because...

    1. You said the same thing that I did, albeit in a less thorough and thought out manner, and completely ignored the flaws that I'm trying to point out in the summary/article. Good job!
    2. Nothing in what I wrote indicates that I am angry, having the opinion that something is insane is not the same as being angry.
    3. As I said, my doctor has been telling me this for a decade, so its not new information.
    4. Donno what fad you're talking about, must be among dumb people, as if you read 3. above, my doctor has been telling me this for a decade.
    5. The problem IS related to 'bad' cholesterol, it is still a variable in the equation, just because there are other variables does not make this one invalid. The impression that this summary is giving is that 'bad' cholesterol doesn't even factor into the equation, when it clearly does.

  12. "They said relative levels of "good" cholesterol, or high density lipoprotein (HDL), were a better predictor of heart disease risk than levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), also known as "bad" cholesterol. High consumption of foods rich in saturated fat such as butter, cakes and fatty meat has been shown to increase blood levels of LDL."

    "relative levels of 'good' cholesterol" means, the ratio of 'good' to 'bad' cholesterol, which doctors have known for ages... my doctor has been telling me this for a decade. Then the next sentence confirms what everyone knows, 'bad' foods increase 'bad' cholesterol, and hence worsen the ratio of 'good' to 'bad' cholesterol. How can they then conclude that 'bad' cholesterol isn't bad for you? It's insane...

    "Wheatstone bridge" ?
    A Wheatstone bridge is used to measure an unknown resistance. This feature is only required in a few rare circumstances, like inside a multi-meter.

    Just about every device I have are not multi-meters and certainly do not contain Wheatstone bridges... You might be thinking of a diode bridge that could do with a transformer to convert AC to DC, but this only works to transform AC voltages and batteries to not supply AC. What you would need is something like a buck converter, which most digital electronics do already contain.

  16. battery

    noun
    noun: battery; plural noun: batteries; noun: the battery
    1. a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power. "battery power" synonyms: storage cell, cell "insert fresh batteries"
    2. a fortified emplacement for heavy guns.

    Capacitors do not store chemical energy.

    Holy crap. The amount of effort I have put in trying to make my mobile browser consistently retrieve the desktop versions of pages, making the desktop browser willingly request the mobile version is purely unfathomable to me. I think I would actually rather die.

  18. The universe can expand faster than the speed of light with out violating any physical laws. See Inflation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    But you will probably need someone smarter than me to explain it to you...

    Ill give it a try but I might be quite wrong: During inflation, even though the universe was expanding faster than the speed of light, no information was traveling faster than light, no causal effects traveling faster than light, and no laws broken.

    Now I'll just wait for a real scientist to tell me why I'm wrong.
