Fatty Liver Strikes Me (Health Talk Post)

deathcow says...

When I had a complete medical work-up (to qualify to transplant half of my liver into my daughter) in 2005, I had catscan which revealed an acceptably low fat liver. Her liver was completely destroyed at the time. I had spent the last 35 yrs eating whatver tf I wanted to... so it was a miracle.

Running lean is a really good idea. Think of how many fat-assed lions and tigers you see in National Geographic films... it's not natural.

I'm a whiny bitch about details - especially where voice-over is concerned (e.g. I hate dubs) - but the info in the vid was good stuff. Science and space exploration FTW!

When the nature and science in documentaries are already mindblowingly awesome, is the overthetop, action-film trailer voice-over really necessary? ( misses Sagan dearly )

Great doc btw.

Thanks for the vote bud :-D

Close Encounters of the Giant Kind

Yogi says...

"A photographer from national geographic recounts an amazing experience with a right whale."

Right Whale...capitalize the name of the whale or idiots like me keep looking for the whale on the right or think that there are wrong whales.

If You Were Thinking Japan Needs an Anti-Tsunami Wall...

alizarin says...

That was according to National Geographic Explorer - they had an hour long show on the tsunami and spent 5 minutes or so explaining why that wall failed. Decide what you will.

>> ^lucky760:

>> ^alizarin:
Although it was 10m high, it wasn't 10m above sea level when the tsunami hit because the earthquake made the land drop/subside.

The subsiding plate was not on Japan's side. According to the experts, Japan's plate popped up when the Pacific plate subsided, causing the magnitude 9.0 and the tsunami. So, if you want to split hairs, it'd probably be more accurate to say the 10m wall might have been even higher.

The most incredible tool chest you may ever see

chicchorea says...

Where first escapes me sir, sorry. However, it has been represented in numerous magazine articles, woodworking and other. I believe even in National Geographic though I do not believe as a feature article. Books as well, some compilations of articles, tool books, shop books, and such. I have researched on the Net as well some years ago. I now think I may have seen it on TV as well but not with the more extensive views of its ingenious workings as Norm provided. I wish he had shown more of the inlay, particularly the Masonic symbolism incorporated. Some of the photos of this chest are truly tool and tool chest porn. The quality of the video does not do it justice at all.

I wonder at the cost in todays prices to reproduce the chest and tools. Some of the materials are rare to unobtainium. If one was able to procure some of the woods, finding the quality of wood, probably only available in the manufacturing of musical instruments would be challenging. Some rosewoods, for example, are not legally exported any longer.

It is a phenomenal piece of work. I once was given a 400 hundred year old Chinese tool chest. It was more a work of art than working art. ...hidden compartments and the whole bit. I was afraid to use it and had no use for it as an exhibition piece. No comparison to this one or its shadow.
