TROPHY CASE

The 2011-2012 end-of-season Nielsen rankings are in: Here's how every show fared based on the advertiser-coveted 18-49 age demographic by PrettyBoyFloydin entertainment

[–]mamjjasond 0 points1 point ago

PBS is not a cable/premium channel. And it's the only channel I also regularly watch.

I don't even recognize half of the shows on that list by name. I'm planning to cancel my cable completely and just get an antenna for OTA channels, + Netflix.

Did we ever figure out what the "droplets" on the leg of the mars rover were? by occupyearthin askscience

[–]mamjjasond 9 points10 points ago

It's probably because it has nothing to do with the topic of interest, so it shouldn't be the top reply.

And since every reply under it is some irrelevant chit-chat, that goes double.

Woman, 80, slips from skydiving harness and only her instructor's grip on her clothes stopped a 13,000-foot plummet. by slice_of_lifein WTF

You can see the strap is off her left shoulder in the shot before they leave the plane. WTF indeed.

Japanese man cooks, serves own genitals by gn3xu5in AnythingGoesUltimate

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm equally grossed out by the fact that they were served after being frozen for 2 months, as I am that they were served at all.

Oleander Poisoning by Gothichuin plants

[–]mamjjasond 1 point2 points ago

Sounds like an allergy. I've pruned oleander in the past and handled branches of it with bare hands and nothing bad ever happened.

Some people are really allergic to things that others aren't though, which is probably the case with your coworker. My mother developed a serious allergy to many common weeds after years of pulling weeds around the house. She had to stop when she would just brush against certain weeds and get huge welts.

Probably the biggest problem: wherever you go, there you are.

Study finds the truth behind Fat bastard's words of wisdom "I eat because I'm depressed and I'm depressed because I eat" by stoiclibertinein cogsci

I'm not sure about the journal article, but this BBC video, "Why Thin People Are Not Fat", is on a similar topic and is fascinating.

This man gave me my appreciation for music. 16 years ago he passed away, let's show him all the love he found. by Tricky-Beatsin Music

I recognized him immediately, so I guess I earned my laziness.

Study finds the truth behind Fat bastard's words of wisdom "I eat because I'm depressed and I'm depressed because I eat" by stoiclibertinein cogsci

[–]mamjjasond 5 points6 points ago

In my opinion and experience, it's almost all about carbs. Carbs are the "drugs" in food that people get addicted to, have withdrawal from etc. Fats cause an additional amount of pleasure when eaten along with carbs, but fats by themselves do not addict people.

Take bread for example. Almost anyone who is hungry would eat fresh hot bread straight from the oven plain, with nothing on it at all, and enjoy it a lot. Butter the bread and it's even more delicious. But, even if you're starving, butter by itself would not be enjoyable at all.

LPT: Avoid that "Oh crap" feeling in Outlook by delaying your sent email a couple minutes. by Ubertamin LifeProTips

[–]mamjjasond 7 points8 points ago

Not true for me. I've set a delayed delivery of specific messages on a one-time basis (not as a global rule) for a time 45 minutes later, and it worked correctly (cc'd myself, so I'm sure of it).

And what some other people don't want to acknowledge is that there are a lot more ways to ruin your health and longevity than being fat. Smoking tobacco, drinking to the point of getting drunk, engaging in risky behavior, living any kind of a high-stress lifestyle ... and the list goes on.

[Weekly Discussion Thread] Scientists, what are the biggest misconceptions in your field? by fastparticlesin askscience

[–]mamjjasond 0 points1 point ago

As far as I know, there is nowhere in the United States where the wastewater treatment effluent is directly water treatment influent

They do it in Orange County California

Also, I see treated waste-water used a lot for landscape irrigation.

A Childfree Manifesto: Please Don't Stereotype Us [Hoover Dam of Text] by rantberriesin childfree

[–]mamjjasond -2 points-1 points ago

It's one thing not to want your own children, but how can anyone "hate children". Children are just people. If someone "hates children" then they have the same mindset as someone who hates "women" or "blacks" or any other subset of people. That's a pretty indefensible position in my humble opinion.
