    Perhaps your finger got tired, but it was mentioned that there was a control group who didn't have any degenerative diseases, AFAWK.

    Those walking bags of life-sustaining and profitable organs are just flouting their disrespect for everyone!

    Love em-dashes. I had some linux eBook once where every double dash had been replaced with one, presumably by some utter mong of a typesetter.

    Great when you copy-paste something.

    Back in the day, Apple made machines for hackers. If the Woz had foreseen them turning into Silicon Gucci you might have a point.

    This area is mostly under snow and ice. As it warms up, the extent of arable and farmable land goes up.

    One, commonly used map projections make things look larger near the poles.

    Two, rock which is bare or has only a few inches of crappy soil is not great for farming.

    Three, there is (as the name implies) another hemisphere.

    Wild guess: blurred & colour biased eyesight doesn't cause tremors that show up in brushstrokes.

  12. Re:this is too broad, and useless, data analysis on Paintings Reveal Signs of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's In Famous Artists (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there isn't some confirmation bias going on. The first article says they "examined paintings from four artists know to have suffered from either Parkinson's or Alzheimer's". I think it's too easy to pick out things and say "See? I told you he had Alzheimer's".

    I wonder if you read TFA: The researchers also studied the works of three artists who had no known neurodegenerative problems: Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Claude Monet.

    I'm confused. Surely the Republicans believe in the free market, which means companies should be able to do whatever the fuck they want.
