I can't imagine watching news when I can read so much faster and from so many more sources. Live sports are my kryptonite, even with NFL gamepass there are blackouts where I wouldn't be able to watch until the games were over.
If I could just cheer for Minnesota instead of the Pats, that would solve the prime time game problem ;)

I loved the portrayal of Fisk, along with Foggy I thought they picked out some of my favorite parts from the various versions I've read. Fisk's somewhat humanizing love for Vanessa and Foggy being more than a dimwitted comic relief.

damn , I had mod points just yesterday. oh well.

the breathing reflex is based on CO2 . Breathing pure nitrogen would reduce CO2 so as to satisfy that mechanism , but not providing the O2 survival requires. O2 in the blood is used up quickly, that is why we need to breathe constantly.

There are many obvious advantages to high IQ, if the genes related to it weren't also linked to major negatives then the process of evolution would have selected for them more effectively than it has.

We are still waiting on the NFL to reveal any official data but the last story out was that only one ball, the one the Colts had possession of, was significantly under inflated. This is another problem, beyond rushing your work, in dealing with topical, controversial subjects. You may not be working with good data. Another aspect is that when you seek attention by combing those mistakes to disparage peoples reputation you end up permanently damaging your own reputation. I'll certainly remember this incident whenever Tyson is mentioned.

Judging from the way he not only prematurely used what turned out to be incorrect data but also botched the basic physics of "deflategate" maybe infusing pop culture with science isn't his strong suit.

They used to have the odd Radley Balko piece that was worth reading. It was mostly just Koch shills though so I haven't checked it out in a long time.

I think this is because in the olden days having CRLF meant being able to dump a raw text file to a printing device. Unix had a tty driver that could handle adding the missing CR. CP/M and DOS didn't have any such thing. That doesn't mean I haven't spent 20+ years being annoyed by CRLF though.

Arrr matey, it doesn't remain to be seen if the music can be pirated, if an audio track can be heard it can be copied.

It might be very valuable for treatment if the condition didn't come as a mystery and a surprise. It also raises the question of testing in the early stages of fetal development and abortion being used by "carrier" couples to select for lower risk children. I honestly have no idea of what the ethical choices are there but I would lean towards multiple tries if it meant bringing a child to term that doesn't have such a high probability of suffering in its future.

we're generally more willing to believe a tragedy was accidental and not the result of systemic problems between the police and a particular community when it was accidental and not the result of systemic problems between the police and a particular community.

Young and old we all hate fast internet connections the way seals hate fish.

That's the first thing I thought of. Finally something people can use for Gene Wolfe cosplay ;)

probably a net increase in arable land for canada and siberia as northern growing seasons lengthen, might lose some fox pelt resources when the tiles flip to green though.
