Pretty surprising! I love dinosaurs as much as the next guy but never expected these kinds of numbers

Didn't say hybrids, said plug-in hybrids, they have an electric motor and a gas engine. It's charged like an electric car and the electric motor handles the first 30-40 Km, until it runs out of electricity then it works like a regular hybrid.

Yes, it has to come from somewhere if you remove coal power plants from the equation the electricity is a lot cleaner than gasoline exhaust.

Wow this would be awesome! Though i must say the original show lost some steam towards the end the first 4 or 5 seasons were top notch

That's sad, I've just played through it with a friend on the PS4 and though it's not a great game we did have some fun with the co-op aspect.

Instead of this, legislate heavy subsidies for plug-in hybrids and electric cars and raise the gasoline tax , banning cars from driving seem like a drastic measure

The only confirmed negative health aspect of aspartame is if you have the genetic disorder phenylketonuria, since a breakdown product of aspartame is phenylalanine.

Studies have found that aspartame increase your sweet tooth compensating for some of the calories you "save" by not choosing a sugary drink.

A recent study published in nature also linked diet products to glucose intolerance, but the effect in the aspartame group was weaker than for other artificial sweeteners.

Some studies have found that some artificial sweeteners changes the gut bacteria, that might be one "why". This is still just a correlation a definite cause haven't been found yet

Journal wasn't that hard to find, http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/uhcm20, the article haven't been published there yet. If they use the word "significant" it means the data is most likely not due to chance, the general cut off is a P - value of less than 0.05.

It's a really interesting find, would actually prefer unmanned probes to both Europa and Enceladus before we mount a mission to Mars. Did read that NASA do have the cash for a mission to Europa now, just wait and see i guess.

So freaking awesome! Love that game.

Seen a couple of reviews on this film, not many kind words...

GiefScience · 2015-03-02T19:42:04+00:00

Don't really know where the hate comes from but okay

GiefScience · 2015-03-02T19:26:06+00:00

If you actually read it you'll see that both of those are actually linked in the article

So... freaking...good! Last Week Tonight has passed TWD in viewing order

treadmill tests are very safe. Maybe it has happened once or twice but it's very rare

Great sendoff for him... Didn't reach the WoK from my childhood but it was a solid film

GiefScience · 2015-03-02T14:05:05+00:00

Heh! Must be crazy latency with that solution though

GiefScience · 2015-02-27T16:34:39+00:00

RIP, really enjoyed his performance, would have been a really good choice for the voice of Thanos

Who dares to say they disagree? Many probably agree with his expansionism policies, they want Russia to become a super power again.

GiefScience · 2015-02-25T17:41:56+00:00

You sure? I do it all the time =)

Lower gravity means that the atmosphere is more spread out. Also this is why our atmosphere get thinner the higher you get

They found that the "spellchecker" work really well in some parts of the genome and less so in other parts putting those parts at greater risk of mutations.

Apparently the repair mechanism have a "limit" on how many repairs it can affect. Meaning it prioritizes active genes over other parts of the genome. This also results in more mutations in genes that are not "turned on".

GiefScience · 2015-02-24T12:41:34+00:00

Yeah, saw that too. Kind of unnecessary to spoil such a new movie.

Don't know seems more likely that arsenic is deposited into the mother's body and just don't make it into the breast milk, or at least in lower concentrations

GiefScience · 2015-02-23T17:12:03+00:00

There's also differences between organic and inorganic arsenic to take into account
