Twelve people is not a large sample size.


I was a heavy cell phone user for several years, I developed tinnitus in my right ear (same ear I would hold the phone to) it thankfully resolved itself when I stopped using mobile phones. Hope this information can help someone.


Not sure why this is dead.

Anecdotally, a hearing test performed after many years of having my earpiece in my right ear found that in the vocal frequency ranges my right ear has some hearing loss. (It was not like that before.) Which may or may not be coincidental.

It's not a stretch to think that holding a speaker–which is often far louder than it should be–right up to one's ear for extended periods every day could cause tinnitus in that ear.


the ingredient that gives it the 'meat' 'blood' taste is from genetically modified yeast furthermore, more than 40 other proteins, which are byproducts of the GMO yeast process, which make up part of the soy leghemoglobin product have never been tested on human beings and their safety has never been established.

Interesting, but you highlight the major reproducibility crisis of many scientific studies (along with others that have resulted from unfettered money and politics contaminating modern research).

How much do you know about GMO crops?

Do you know what Bt corn is and how it works?

Do you know what strains of Bt have been incorporated into the various corn cultivars?

Are you familiar with the Aizawa strain of Bt?

Did you know that Aizawa Bt is extremely toxic to honeybees?

Do you think the widespread adoption and cultivation of Bt-engineeered corn crops, which of course are prolipherated through pollination to neighboring fields and into the wider ecosystem could possibly have any negative consequences whatsoever?

Do you think the near-extintion of critically important pollinating species is a legitimate reason to question incorporating highly damaging toxin-producing genes from bacteria into corn?



No more Recees Peanut Butter Cups (tm) :(


If you are close to a Trader Joe's, their PB cups [0] are better IMHO.

Why don't Europeans understand how little we care what they think? Their rights have been systematically eroded and their countries stolen right out from underneath them. That condescending, undeserved attitude of faux superiority means absolutely nothing to red-blooded Americans. They can keep their baguettes, I'll be just fine with my 30.06 and my F-250.


I absolutely like how comments like this one confirm most of this article.


It's a shame everything has gotten so overly politicized nowadays, this is the adult-equivalent of "I'm picking up my toys and going home." The obstructionism and whining has got to come to an end, the election is over and Trump won. Deal with it.

It's time to put aside the grandstanding and political virtue signaling; it's time to put on your big-boy pants, roll up your sleeves, and get to work solving problems. Us versus them has no place here, the stakes are too high. We're all in this boat together.


No this is the adult equivalent of this administration is so radically incompetent and awful that working in it forces you to compromise your morals while also accomplishing nothing you see as important.


> It's a shame everything has gotten so overly politicized nowadays, this is the adult-equivalent of "I'm picking up my toys and going home." The obstructionism and whining has got to come to an end, the election is over and Trump won. Deal with it.

No. Trump needs to be fought every single day. Democrats won on healthcare because the republicans screwed up, not everything will be that easy.

It's also really fun to hear people whining about obstruction when the republicans control the house, senate, and presidency.

It's also worth noting that the people quitting here wanted to work with Trump and are giving up because they've decided it's not going to work out.


"#RESIST"... he quietly scratched into the walls of the cave in total darkness, careful not to make any sound that could alert the hordes of starving mutant cannibals lurking outside.

Sure, after the DPRK caused cyber-911, things would never be the same. All those nuclear plants melted down and millions of people starved to death, but there is always a silver lining, right? At least I got to voice my opposition to Drumf's withdrawal from the Paris Accord and bump my instagram following.


It's really hard to work with people who "can't" quit their job and utterly hate it. Would just mean that everyone is just far unhappier than usual in the work place.

Frankly the worst thing is that it just means that people who are willing to crony it up to Trump are the ones left. But lets be honest it's not like the forth that left had a voice that mattered, being Obama adminstration apointees or not Trump enough.

Maybe watching the executive branch burn, will teach representives that if they stay this polarized they will never be able to get work done (even if they control all 3 branches of govt.).


Why is that? If you don't want to work with certain people you are free to pickup your stuff and go elsewhere.
