I’m not sure that’s really the opposite side, in reality.

This is from 1969:

I wouldn’t be surprised if the original joke goes back to the silent movie era.

Understood; just wanted to add on.

My point is more or less that this doesn’t have to be a closed-book situation about fish oil. Maybe it can help in some other way, and/or maybe it really can work as ‘advertised’ in conjunction with other substances. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time, if so.

Best webcomic I’ve read in a while. The intrinsic hilarity of the situation was ridiculously refreshing compared to the usual ‘straining to come up with something funny / clever.’

Most fish oil is completely ineffective:

I’ve personally noticed some powerful effects from fish oil: 1) it can act as a neotropic booster, particularly in conjunction with SRI’s and similar meds / substances, 2) it can cause me significant insomnia (no arrhythmia) if I take ~6-8 capsules.

Is that germane to this thread? Probably not, but something seems to be going on. Maybe fish oil has been studied so far on too limited a basis.

Seems like millions of redditors say just that through the many slaps in the face to users, then hang around anyway. :S

Thanks, Blaze.
Appreciate. ^^

I think when they said that, the implication was that there was no need for such. I.e. it interrupted the flow of the story and didn’t add anything useful, other than perhaps pandering to a certain crowd.

Oh, rabbits!

Well, if you’re looking for absolute perfection in a ST theme, good luck. It’s not like Mike Post or John Williams were writing these suckers.

That said, I thought Alexander Courage did a hell of a job on the original.

I’ve been primarily vegan for decades, and I’ve found that #4 is mostly true, but some amount of gas emission is normal for everyone.

#1 is similar to a known method of prepping crispy fries (using ice water baths), because it removes starch in potatoes. Not sure how well that would work for other veggies, tho. I’d certainly think they’d need to be sliced up for that to work best.

#3 is definitely a known method of changing the chemistry of a thing, so yes, AFAIK both chemistry and nutritional science suggest that nutrients can and will be lost that way.

You also might experiment with digestive enzymes (like “Bean-O” and others) to see if that helps out eating high-fibre meals. You might also start with a prelude of daily psyllium husk fibres to get your gut used to more fibre. As I understand it, it also has the side benefit of lowering ‘bad’ cholesterol, as fibre has a ‘scrubbing action’ onthe gut.

I find it ever-so-slightly pompous with all the horns, but otherwise, a cool remix of the original theme.

Seems kind of weirdly unnecessary to start with “Lemmy” instead of just going with TMBG, but whatevs. Subscribed to John & John.

Roddenberry from what I’ve read in multiple places sounded like a huge asshole to me, and nowhere near the ‘Great Bird of the Galaxy’ he liked to self-label himself as. Now yes, a very talented asshole, whose vision started the franchise, and certainly who put in much work on TOS (along with many other talents), but nevertheless a real PITA on a personal level who wound up burning most of his bridges.

Point is-- if Meyer lost his cool with him as a young guy, I wouldn’t be very surprised.

Umm… whoah

Insulation and decoration.

Pardon the late reply, but what would the walls themselves be made of? They almost look like layered cardboard there. Or maybe sheet metal.

Love you @[email protected], but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)

So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.

Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.

Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S

A couple of the big comics communities also churn out a good chunk of content every day… if you like comics. “ArtPorn” and “SuperbOwl” also come to mind. I recommend you keep searching @[email protected], because you may find some great content sources that you weren’t previously thinking about.

(late reply alert!)

Late reply, but in English media articles, it’s still fairly common for me to see references to what people said on Reddit. AFAIK there are also still entertainment sites (“Caveman Circus” being one) that still regularly harvest expert or semi-expert takes found on Reddit in order to construct ‘best of’ articles.

Though-- perhaps that activity is down somewhat, as you suggest.

Standing at the evolutionary intersection of humans and great apes, Homo naledi was not thought to be capable of such complex acts of cognition.

There may be insufficient evidence at this time for these particular peoples, but the possibility at least for funerary practices doesn’t seem outlandish.

For example, this branch of Homo existed around the same time anatomically-modern humans first came in to their own, and evidently had brains structured the way ours are, albeit smaller in size. They’re also much, much too recent to be described as an “intersection of humans and great apes.” Rather, they were a parallel type of human and *also* part of the set of great apes, which includes modern humans, of course.
