Yes, the font is Baskerville.

roflmao - sorry for the lag; you caught me right at the semester end for a bunch of schools, and work being an edtech software company, we got busy....

Thorno: does it have to be portable? I would imagine that you won't be playing games in class or at the library. I'm asking because in terms of...

If you're going to take it to class and to the library, don't go for 17 inches. It's heavy, clumsy, and not all that portable. Honestly I think for...

No seriously they all moved to Florida.

BYOB: This thread wasn't started by us though. There's stuff going on behind the scenes which at this point wouldn't benefit from user input. For...

LIFETIPS: Don't listen to random strangers on the internet giving you tips without any form of explanation or sources to back them up.

Biologically speaking it is. There's a logical reason for loving and bonding with your offspring, which is hard-coded into all higher animals,...

Yeah I think they'll run into massive trouble abroad. Look at the issues Street View is having in Europe. This is probably going to be much worse.

Pretty sure she offered her plot to get people like Exetus to react exactly the way he did, so mission accomplished.

That's not the point. You said that a publicly traded company would not pull such a stunt. They have, multiple times. Whether they can hide behind...

I wouldn't call that deception, that's rather drastic. And no it wouldn't net you jail time, see below. That is not an apt analogy, it's a very...

When you say 5% - when does their fiscal year start? NIH was asked to cut 8% or so, but because sequester didn't hit until halfway through their...

This part is key, and it's my favorite statistic. Congress was 11% not too long ago, so 89% of Americans thought Congress sucked. Yet in the last...

The authors acknowledged the mistake but said that it doesn't change the overall findings. That is plausible, so it may still be relevant.

That's because generally speaking, people with lower incomes tend to eat more junk food. Maybe it's because many of them work several jobs and don't...

Those are generally not the best thing for you. They're reactive species with the potential to incur DNA damage, similar to indirect UV damage.

Again, "hate crime" is a pretty specific, pretty drastic thing. Nothing in that video qualified as hate crimes, at best that's considered...

Hey rofl, we're looking into it. I'm hoping there's a backup somewhere but stuff got misplaced at the last office party super important staff...

I can't disagree with anything you said there, really :) Nutrition is almost like psychology in that it's really hard to account for the bajillion...

No, my point is that it's not all that the trans-fat story isn't all that crazy - this is how these things work. Your post made it sound like...

MrCarrot: That article kind of misses the point though, doesn't it? There's a whole spectrum of responses, and hate crimes are at the extreme end...

Okay so what is a reasonable monetary value for a human life then? 1 billion dollars is too much, but what if you save 1,000 lives? That's 1...

When you put it like that, it sounds like that's somehow novel or special. We do the same thing in a lot, if not most, of medicine. We do this...

Okay I'd like to hear why "refined" or "processed" foods are necessarily evil in and of themselves.

Well you bolded the important part. The placebo effect is not to be underestimated. For instance, you could start taking a multivitamin a day...

If I steal your stuff or whack you over the head with a bat, that's a crime against you. If I detonate WMD in a crowded area, that's a crime against...

Those are very broad questions, and kind of hard to answer since individuals differ greatly, and a lot of this stuff is based on statistics. Much...
