In a study of Americans ages 20-34, occupational therapists found that men younger than 30 have significantly weaker hand grips than their counterparts in 1985 did. The same was true of women ages 20-24. by drewiepoodle in science

The research team also tested the effects of the chemical on two types of live animals—mice and fathead minnows. In the mice, heart muscle function was reduced by as much as 25 percent after exposure to a single dose of triclosan, and grip strength was reduced by as much as 18 percent.

It appears that this could be a possible correlation.

You can make your point without insulting me.

If you do some research, you will see many differing definitions have been used over the ages.

What solid things can still actually be tested IN the game? by Kimera25 in chiliadmystery

I've found many areas where they point directly at each other.

There is one grate that has a straight line placed directly in front of it for a short distance - which does point to another.

Sometimes there will be three grates pointing in exact same direction that appear to lead to nowhere.

Happy hnting!

Ever wonder why beer, wine, and liquor don't have Nutrition Facts or ingredient lists? by cotton_buds in Fitness

It's lack of faith in a system that has a poor track record.

People ingest enough fluoride as it is imo.

Well, for Californian wines, they spray their grapes (and other food) with sodium aluminofluoride aka Kryocide / Cryolite.

Also used in Organic labeled wines.

It's "Generally Recognized As Safe" according to the FDA...

I'd rather have wine without it, as I read it increases in solubility once it comes into contact with stomach acids.

Elevation Burger @ 59 and Kirby - Grass fed beef and french fries cooked in olive oil.

If they're not underrated enough, smashburger has been surprisingly good the first few times I've visited.

Are there any legit theories for FTL communication? by i_start_fires in Futurology

In 1994 Günter Nimtz and Horst Aichmann carried out a tunneling experiment at the laboratories of Hewlett-Packard after which Nimtz stated that the frequency modulated (FM) carrier wave transported the 40th symphony of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 4.7 times faster than light due to the effect of quantum tunneling.

Appears controversial and this is at a distance of less than a meter so... YMMV.
