  1. Re:Do The Stats Include Suicide By Sleeping Pills? on Those Sleeping Pills May Be Killing You · · Score: 1

    Considering that, that combo has no official use there is no ratio. I'm not a doctor, but that combo seems risky. You could vomit up the drugs, you could sleep it off, or you could die.

  2. Re:Do The Stats Include Suicide By Sleeping Pills? on Those Sleeping Pills May Be Killing You · · Score: 1

    The stats are for Zolpidem and Temazepam, drugs which have a high therapeutic index ration, in other words, several time a one month supply, which is all that a pharmacy is allowed to dispense at the same time. I highly doubt anyone is using these drugs to kill themselves.

    Entire adult life? Try since childhood.

  4. Re:To Quote Woody allen on Vaccine Could Cut Heroin Addiction · · Score: 1

    Okay, but when you started smoking, none of this happened I'm guessing. If you smoked your first cigarette and it just hurt your lungs and provided no euphoria then you would have never picked up another cigarette I'm guessing.

  5. Re:To Quote Woody allen on Vaccine Could Cut Heroin Addiction · · Score: 1

    Yep. Methadone has all the addictive qualities without all the pleasing euphoria.

    So people are getting addicted to something with no pleasant qualities? Please explain your logic.

    It wasn't the cable that was bad, it was their calculations based on the time it takes a signal to travel through said cable that was bad.

    No, it hinges on a reasonable expectation of privacy. If they're sitting on their front lawn than they have zero expectations of privacy. If they're in their house and not currently hosting an open house then they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Of course, you can still have reasonable expectations of privacy on public property for example if you are using a public toilet.

    Why is such a high resolution needed on a 10 inch screen?

  9. Re:INspector is Right on School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy · · Score: 1

    You don't hear much about malnutrition these days. In the US at least scruvy and beri beri are rare while everyone is getting larger and larger. Adding vitamins to juice seems to be ignoring these facts.

    When it was an apple it had 13g of sugar and 3g of fiber. When it gets turned into juice it has twice the sugar and a sixth of the fiber. So yes it was healthier when it was in the apple.

  11. Well it did have a price point, so a few people made a few bucks off a dead guitarist/singer.

    First off I said that children should be drinking water. I don't think children should get into the habit of only drinking liquids with flavor. So yeah that means no juice, tea, milk, or soda.

    Second of all, whether it's refined or raw sugar it's still a mixture of glucose and fructose. In the case of apple juice it's lost all of the fiber that is present in the solid apple.

  13. Re:And in theory ... on Study Says Fracking is Safe In Theory But Often Not In Practice · · Score: 1

    Okay, the use of nuclear power in places like the US and France have proved to be safe. No 3 eye fish yet. It's being compared to coal because coal has proved to be an economical way to create electricity.

    And in practice has killed fewer people than have died mining coal. Your point?

  15. Re:INspector is Right on School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, moderation is okay. I still think that kids should get in the habit of drinking water with a meal. Not that I think the school should be enforcing what's health.

    Since when is apple juice healthy?

  17. Yep this is not much different from posthumous album releases. *hums along to Nirvana's MTV Unplugged*

    I listen to Emilie Autumn and Weird Al. If a harpsichord and polka is their idea to drive me away, then they need to think of something else.

  23. Re:Hardly a unique trait on FBI File Notes Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field · · Score: 1

    First off, read your link. Yes, psychopaths lack empathy. That goes with many of the personality disorders listed in the DSM. But, the article also backs up my assertion that psychopaths are unreliable:

    He sees this as often due to seeking immediate satisfaction of desires, resulting in such things as quitting jobs, leaving relationships, changing plans and committing crimes, all apparently on a whim. ... The flipside, according to Hare, is that such individuals have a low tolerance for boredom and are unlikely to sustain activities that are dull or require intense concentration over long periods.

    Also, it's not really intelligence that makes a psychopath do dumb things. It's more a lack of taking consequences into effect. Cleckley includes a lot of smart people among his case studies who do stupid things that undermine their long term goals. What seems to separate most psychopaths from success is fear. Fear is integral for learning. It's the memory of fear that prevents us from repeating things that had a bad outcome in the past. Even if a psychopath is smart, this lack of fear means that they have less inhibitions to do what seems dumb.

    So yes, I think he sounds more like a narcissist than a psychopath.

    A psychopath sticking around as long as Steve did at Apple? The textbook psychopath is highly unreliable.
