DVDA is a term used in the pornographic movie industry describing a scene that involves double-vaginal/double-anal penetration. The term was popularised by the movie Orgazmo, about a mormon who becomes a porn star. (made by the guys who do southpark, Matt Stone and Trey Parker)
I know this is slightly OT, but recently a friend was telling me that aspartame has been linked to cases of lupus and MS. Can anybody here tell me a little more about this? A couple of the websites I found seem to be extremist propaganda leaning one way or the other. Have any real studies been done, and if so, why is it still available?
Oh, thats nothing... while visiting my local McDonald the other day, (Cleveland McD's - notorious for having the worst staff of any McD's in Queensland) I went through the drive through, ordered my food, and when I got to the food pick-up window the girl asked if I was going to eat-in or take-away!!
It's funny that you mention that... I have a mate who is a McDonalds Manager here in Oz, and he recently was telling me about a training seminar he went on. Apparently, the buns used here for their burgers are soooo high in sugar, it's actually healthier to slap a iced donut on each side of the burger instead of the bun. People get used to the 'sugar rush' when they eat a meal of Maccas, which then leads to a sugar craving when they're not eating it. Instant food craving/addiction, all legal-like. Fucking disgusting.
Allow me to disagree... I thought the GCN's processor was a 400 Megahertz, 0.18 micron, copper technology custom CPU which was CO-designed with IBM, and the PS2 was a 294.912 Megahertz, 0.18 micron, custom CPU which is manufactured by Toshiba. (The X-Box being a 733 IIRC) Both GCN and PS2 have a 3.2 gig per/second memory bus bandwidth. Technically, the XBox and GCN are both far superior to the PS2.
What safeguards are you talking about? There is nothing stopping any lab around the world messing with anything they like. NOBODY KNOWS what is going to be the long-term effects of any of this, that is why both governments and the private sector around the world are investigating any potential issues. I'm not anti-GM by any stretch, I just have a problem feeding something to my kids when we don't know what it will do. Stop talking through your arse and give some proof of the absolute safety of consuming and breeding GM plants. Don't have any? then, as they say, STFU.
P.S: Do you realise how fucking stupid you look when you make out you are an "Anarchist for Life" and then make a post like yours about depending on regulation? No, you probably don't.
Sorry, but no. Selective breeding and GM are two different beasts. This is about crossing tomatoes with fish to get frost resistant fruit and such. Google and see, there are some pretty crazy combinations out there. If it was just glorified selective breeding there wouldn't be any issue at all.
Hahahaha, wrong again, little guy. I wouldn't usually waste my time replying to an AC, especially one having trouble using his mummy's computer, but I just couldn't resist. Even though it will be quite difficult to debate with the wonderful arguments you've shared with us, I just wanted to say that these fears are reasonable. If you feel stupid because you've been eating the GM food for years now without even wondering what the long-term effects could be, that's your problem. Some other countries are actually interested to see a little research before unleashing doctored plants and animals into the wild. How do I know? I work for the CSIRO. Our current project? testing... you guessed it, GM seeds and foods. Sheesh, talk about the gene pool, looks like your end could use a little chlorine.
Not ignorant people, but those afraid of any possible long-term side effects from eating foods that have been fundamentally altered, which seems a reasonable fear. NOBODY YET KNOWS what (if any) side effects we may have from consuming these goods. There may very well be no long-term effects, but is that a risk you are prepared to take? It seems to me the ignorant people are those who don't even consider this issue, and believe what they are told. Remember how healthy tobacco was in the 50's?
Does it really matter where he read it if it's correct? What difference does it make who said it? Or are you saying that just because he is referring to the Bible he must be some "Slobbering Fundie".
remember that the doctor has to make a diagnosis, for all his patients, in a limited time.
Wouldn't this be an argument supporting a large MD access-only database? Especially when identifying sicknesses and diseases that the MD may not have had prior experience with?
I just had to chime in and add this... I've recently been consulting a nutritionalist and a dietician to lose weight before some surgery i'll be having later this year. Out of the three or four actual specialists in the field I have spoken to, not a single one has advocated the Atkins diet after i've mentioned it. In fact, here in Australia it is treated with the scepticism it (and other "fad" diets) deserve by the medical community. It just scares me that people will try it, simply because it doesn't seem too much a change from their already unhealthy diet, or deviation from their tastes and eating habits. Unfortunately, all the health professionals i've dealt with say it is too good to be true. As one of my doctors said, "you would also lose weight eating a strict diet of chocolate, but it doesn't mean it is a safe and effective way of shedding the kilos". Personally, I feel the safety and health risks of the Atkins diet outweigh any potential gains. (colon cancer, anyone?)

Oh, confused, would we?
Yeah, you also forgot: Did you know that if you unscrew your belly-button, your bum will fall off?
errrr... take away, honey...
I'm sorry, but I just can't believe anybody would consciously name a format DVDA...

Best. Screensaver. Ever.

They also had a cartridge slot, buddy. International Soccer and Le Mans came on cartridge as the free games when you bought one.
Maybe they don't speak Thai?
Wiggum:"Aw Cinnamon, don't make this harder then it already is!"
You're dead right, I don't know what came over me. I must have been thinking of the wicked witch of the west.
Janet Reno?

F.Y.I-Gamecube also supports composite video and most games can be run in progressive scan, too.
Sounds great, but you forgot the lashings of open sauce!

Sorry to be off topic, but are you getting ready for next year's T(H)GSB or something? I don't remember it being a annual thing...
