Phi for All

Well in exciting late breaking news my girlfriend of 3 years just left me today, so i guess i'm back among the single again.

I'm guessing she wasn't too hot on your dating forum idea, huh?

 

Don't worry, there's plenty of fish in the wilderness, just waiting for you to build a hut so they can decorate it.

I was away for 2 weeks, and ate mainly cheese, meat and bread. This is not too dissimilar to the Atkins Diet.

This is nothing like the Atkins diet. Grains are not allowed at all, especially bread made with overly-milled white flour. Roughage from vegetables is essential to the diet as well. Atkins dieters usually avoid sugary fruits and sweet vegetables like carrots

but enjoy most other vegetables (remembering that tomatoes are fruit, and corn is a grain).

I have experienced problems with flatuence however they seem to be related to some odd movements and feelings of the stomach.

If you aren't producing insulin due to a stable blood sugar level, you are burning fat cells instead of storing them. These ketones leave the body via feces and urine or, as a last resort, are expelled from the lungs. This can lead to flatulence and bad breath if you aren't drinking enough water. Drink more water and see if your problem goes away.

 

I'm surprised about the hunger bit. Usually when I've been on a low-carb diet for awhile (I use the Protein Power diet, not Atkins), I have to remind myself to eat. I think processing complex carbs is something the body likes to keep doing once it starts, and it reminds you to keep feeding it regularly with hunger pangs.

I think you should post the names of people that seem really intelligent, or have been good friends to you.

OK, my list (incomplete), in no particular order:

 

YT2095--epitomy of a man/father/friend, versatile intellect, down-to-earth.

Swansont--beautiful mind, funny in a hilarious sort of way, never condescending.

Sayonara³--massive mind, passionate without drooling, not too busy to be here with us.

Dr. Blike--young man with big dreams, incredibly caring, great legs.

Dave--incalculably smart, walks softly, carries a big cattle prod.

Coquina--Sweet, sexy, wise in the ways of science and practically everything else.

AzurePhoenix--bronzed goddess, youthful cynical well-read rebel, takes years off my age whenever I even think about her.

In My Memory--sharp as a very large box of tacks, would be justified in having an ego with it's own zip code (but doesn't, curiously), a whole bunch of beautiful.

Martin--so enormously smart, so ingenuously nice, so incredibly passionate about physics.

Bettina--unfailingly polite, astronomically intelligent, a tortured soul who brings out the big brother/sister in everyone.

Mokele--defines the word "unique", probably the most interesting person at any party, biting (reptile teeth) humor.

Dak--alweys funy, suprizinglee smart smart smart, purpussly mispels things so yu haf to reed his posts carefullly twise.

 

Certainly not a complete list, but I've work to do and these folks leapt to mind.

mines pretty basic. too shy to start up a conversation with a girl.

Based on what's been said, have someone else introduce you, then turn your back on her. This will imply you don't care AND give her a nice view of your well-formed buttocks.

Where are all these girls who go for brains?

 

More importantly why don't I meet them! :S

Didn't you hear? They are antisocial, oblivious to you, don't want you to touch them and so pretty you probably convince yourself they are out of your league. So even if you do get up the courage to talk to them, you stutter and say something stupid and they turn you down since they were looking for brains.

 

Vicious, vicious cycle.

I think testes and testis are used medically because of their Latin origin. I remember hearing that the word testify came from the Romans who would grab them to swear an oath. Not sure if that's true but it would make an interesting alternative in a court of law if you couldn't find a Bible.

Where do all these crackpot theories such as Creationism, Holocaust Revisionism, and "AIDS was invented in a lab to kill gay people" come from?

The Knower of Truth in human societies has always been an elevated position. If you can get people to believe in your truth, you have more power.

 

Btw, let's not give them more power by calling them "theories". They are hypotheses at best, lunatic fringe "lint" at worst. In science, a theory has undergone rigorous testing. There's a difference between Honorable Mention at the local dog show and a Nobel prize.

If I can make an observation, Glider brings up an excellent point. It's usually easier to pair others up than to do the same thing with yourself.

 

Asking friends to help matchmake isn't a desperate act. Friends love to help, and admitting that it's hard to be objective about people you're attracted to is really very sensible.

 

Our self-esteem is strong in areas we feel good about, and weak where we're shaky. A fix-up doesn't mean you're a fixer-upper, it just means you have friends who know you better than you know yourself.

You've got to come up with a quantity of transitional fossils from species to species if you're going to go all the way from oceanic fishes to humans walking upright on earth.

By your dismissal of obvious evidence, and your unwillingness to admit you have been wrong when presented with proof, it is clear you will continue to argue against evolution at every opportunity simply to repeat your flawed hypotheses. This takes time away from people who have little to spare, and forces our members to wade through pages of denial and logical fallacies in order to glean the morsels of truth posted by others.

 

It is my recommendation to the administrators that you either be banned from the Biological Sciences part of the forum or simply banned altogether. Science welcomes disputation, but at a certain point pigheadedness in the face of strong evidence can't be tolerated. You've been shown more than enough evidence in this and other instances. It's clear you have closed your mind on this subject.

if they did a test with twins and close friends, than telepathy would be prooven real.

Wow, I'm sure that's never occured to researchers into the paranormal. [/sarcasm]

me and my sister have bein able to use telepathy 10 feet apart. we were doing an experment to see the range of it. it worked, with no negative effects.(headachs, ect.)

Are you using the word "experiment" to mean "we tried a few things", in much the same way non-scientific people use the word "theory" to mean "my newest idea"?

I've been watching this thread for awhile, and I know for a fact there is something going on. I just don't know what it is, and though I keep looking, I keep coming up against quacks with quack answers. Which is why I dislike the word "Telepathy".

I also want to believe telepathy is possible. Yet every time I hear someone claim to be psychic or telepathic, I'm immediately skeptical and my eyes begin to roll. I hate that.

A lot of you are frankly pretty funny i expected some really serious Dr. Spock types but well thats stereotypes for you.

Dr. Spock was a pediatrician! Don't you mean Mr. Spock, wistful-boy?!?

 

 

Welcome aboard, mike90.

Yes, that's another device I love, anything at all that results in BUBBLES!!!

Do you have one of those nifty dispensers that you put a small amount of soap in, fill the remainder (like 7/8 of it) with water, and the dispenser gives you foamy lather? I love saving money on the soap and the lather is perfect for hand-washing, but the springs they put in the pump part are so cheap the pump stops popping back up after a month. I want the pro model....

What I hate...

- the tags at the necks of shirts...

- the clips on pens and mechanical pencils (does anyone really use them?)...

What do they put in those tags that make them stick up like that' date=' Viagra?

 

And since geeks are the only ones who actually clip pens in their shirt pockets, wouldn't you think a geek would come up with something better? Pens that pop out of your secret decoder ring or something....

the jugs at restraunts with the spout formed into it. any waiter worth his tip knows that you have to poor it over the side to give the person any ice at all.

There's the next money-maker, a pitcher with two spouts, the little one for just water, the big one on the side for water and ice.

I would say you have to make a decision on your own needs. I'd say the remote car lock is just as unimportant as the electric mirrors as you can just put your key in and turn it.

I realize everything is subjective but I think some things simply turn out more useful than others. I'm old enough to know that "cool" things like electric seats impress absolutely nobody. If they're useful to you, fine, but so many things end up being not worth the space and expense they take up.

 

Having the ability to unlock or lock your vehicle from several feet away saves time every day. It's just one of those gimmicky things that actually helps me. If my arms are full it helps even more. I have a truck but the ones that actually pop your car trunk (boot) open would help out a lot as well. I get in and out of my vehicle a lot more than I need the seats or mirrors adjusted.

I like having the ice maker in the door, my only beef is that it jams every 0.5 uses.

This is a perfect example. A real ice-maker as a stand alone unit is pretty cool if you use a lot of ice. It has a big capacity and it's built to crank out the ice and work for years with no problems.

 

A unit that fits inside your freezer is too small to be really effective. It's there as a selling feature, an add-on that makes you think it's a better deal. The parts are meant for low to moderate use. If you really like ice or have multiple people who use it you will wear this unit out pronto. I'll bet if you ran a survey right now, almost half the homes who have an ice-maker in the door of their fridge would tell you it either doesn't work right, it's broken or has recently been fixed.

There are so many little options for everything from cars to refrigerators that sound great and supposedly add convenience but really only cost you money. And many gadgets that supposedly save time are just money-wasters too. I'll list some good and bad, feel free to add:

BAD-

1. Hood bras for cars--what are you protecting the paint for if you never take them off?

2. Electric seat/mirror adjustments for cars--OK if the car has multiple users, but if you're the only driver, you set it once and then never need it again. Plus they're slower than adjusting it manually.

3. Ice-makers/water dispensers in the doors of refrigerators--savings in energy from not having to open the freezer door is wasted since it's usually the first thing to break. And the water dispenser uses thin copper tubing so it takes 3 times longer to fill a glass.

 

GOOD-

1. Remote car lock/unlock--keep all the other electric car devices like mirrors and seats, I use my keychain remote all the time. Now if they could only make it smaller to better fit in pants pockets....

2. Weed Whackers--nylon filament electric garden trimmers for chopping hard-to-get-to areas has saved me many hours and several toes, I'm sure.

Dimes; they have a higher value-volume ratio.

Correct. Lay on, Macduff.

I'll slip one in while everone's arguing. Which is worth more, a barrel of nickles or half a barrel of dimes? (US 5 cent and 10 cent coins, respectively)

Hell hath no Furry like a Woman scorn

thats the correct phrase

i already know its possible, im a twin.

In science, everything is possible that is not proven impossible.

 

However there is no tangible, verifiable, supported evidence of telepathy, and no experiments with predictable, repeatable results that would validate it as part of neuroscience. This thread's home is Pseudoscience.

Cut and paste more crap like that and you'll be asked to leave. I see you shaking your head at me. Are you hoping to hear an original thought rattling around in there?

I’m guessing that there were a few tribes that didn’t kiss. Were Eskimos one of them?

Swapping spit at 20 below can be dangerous.

 

I remember reading that kissing was a holdover from infant behavior where the response to having a cheek stroked by the mother's breast was to start sucking in anticipation of being fed. Idk if there is any research to back that up.

Here's a link to a test done with Fireproof 88 that claims success.

 

What kind of temperatures is the shuttle exposed to?

here are a few statistics i found
