Re: skyrim
Always back up!
A few years ago I decided I'd better actually start backing up my data. Hadn't had any problems in many years of owning PCs, but a few weeks after starting doing weekly backups -...

Re: Do you feel ill? Fluoride
The world is full of such apparent links which don't mean anything in practice as they're only true under irrelevant conditions (such as very high doses). More potent" is also so ill defined as to be...

Re: Do you feel ill? Fluoride
There's a huge amount of complete bollocks presented as health information on the internet. I've been unable to find a credible source linking fluoride and hypothyroidism, so take with a pinch of...

Re: what is a dalek
The Daleks were basically just Nazis in space. Understandable, as they were conceived not that long after the end of the second world war - what's impressive is that they were still considered a...

Re: the drugs don't work (well, not really)
Ah, Kirsch again. If this book is of the same standard as Kirsch's paper in PLoS on the same subject then I wouldn't read too much into it. There were some serious flaws in the statistical analysis...

Re: Do you care about other people?
That's not anti-social - antisocial refers things actively done against other people, not merely having nothing to do with them. You have no obligation to actively help, just not to harm. Don't be...

Re: REALLY annoying Freeview!!
The digital technology is quite vulnerable to interference, particularly if you have old and poorly shielded aerial cabling - are there any electrical appliances which may switch on around this time?

I liked living in Birmingham, it was big enough to have things to do but wasn't colossal, sprawling, crowded and hideously polluted like certain other cities that will remain nameless :)

Re: Do you talk like an American?
Vitamin is etymologically related to "vital", so the American pronunciation does make sense. Similarly, the discoverer of aluminium at various times called it aluminum, aluminium and alumium. It...
