    The Ketogenic Diet and a little rant, help me out here.

    Is she at least using it to supplement anti-epileptics? As long as she's taking those it's really not a big deal if she isn't becoming obese or any outward ill effects. At worst she might have to deal with some indigestion and constipation. Other than that it sounds like you're more in her...

    So people think I'm gay...

    Maybe not in the UK, but in the U.S. (and other countries I'm sure) it does. Most people don't assume I'm gay and it kind of bothers me. It's sucks when you get friendly with someone and then they start saying something homophobic (assuming you're straight) and it sort of taints your opinion of...

    Your first day at a new job: Offer survival tactics

    You might miss your ability to post when you finally find yourself in a lab. I try to follow a three strikes rule when it comes to asking questions. You can ask the same question no more than three times before people will start getting irritated. This might be particular to my lab, but be...

    Why is under-eating more demonized than overeating in society?

    You mean like a statistical tool meant to be applied to large populations where the exceptions on either side will roughly cancel each other out? Because that's sort of the whole reason it was devised, and it's pretty good at that. I would say that it's much more socially acceptable to...

    PS4 tablet interactivity stomping all over the Wii U?

    It's somewhat interesting. In the demo for The Division they showed someone offering air support via a tablet. So say your BFF or whatever is a casual player or just sucks at FPS, you guys can still play together. Or you want to play The Division a little bit, but you also don't want to get out...

    Just had my first cavities filled, what's your experience with dentists?

    I made my appointment because my wisdom tooth was all infected and whatnot last week. He asked me if I wanted him to try and pull it out there. And he actually said "try", and suggested that he might run into complications and have to stop mid-way because it's close to a nerve. I'll wait for...

    Just had my first cavities filled, what's your experience with dentists?

    For you Brits who aren't good at context, cavities are what you guys call caries.That's pronounced as a homophone to "carries" right? People tend to have moderate to strong opinions on dental health care, and I'd like to hear yours. Your histories, experiences, etc. My thoughts on going...

    Microsoft press conference: What's the bottom line?

    It's a stupid buzzword for AI that learns from player actions, so an AI version of your driving style can compete against you, or for you when you're offline.

    Game of Thrones - I give up

    I didn't think it was particularly upsetting, nor did I find it particularly entertaining. I've never read the books but it was immediately obvious what would happen the second they played the ominous violin music and shut the doors. It was also obvious in the long run because he was much too...

    Poll: Would you buy glowing plants?

    The substrates required for luciferase are ATP and O2, not exactly hard to come by in plants. IDK how the planned goal of sending people media plates is going to work. Most people don't exactly have sterile hoods in their house and bacteria and fungi love media.

    Poll: Injustice of the Permaban

    I remember I got this message attached to a probation warning, "Your lucky I don\'t suspend for that - don\'t post such things - a spoiler is no excuse ". Consistency is a problem. I got probation for a picture of "Carnage Nun Migumi" as being not PG-13 enough on a site that regularly...

    Blood Pressure

    My blood pressure is generally on the low side of normal, 110ish/70ish. My boyfriend is on medication for high blood pressure. My grandma's blood pressure is insane, something like 150-60/100+ with medication. She's had some incidents where her blood pressure spiked up and she started...

    Poll: Straight women and not-so-straight men! What is your opinion on male chest-hair?

    I like a moderate amount. It can be kind of itchy though. :(

    Fashions (historic & otherwise) you never understood...

    The only pegging I'm familiar with is a decidedly post-puberty activity... I'm going with the horn hair that was popular with Renaissance women.
