Eh again, I wouldn't have minded the changes but when i can tell it's CGI (easily) it makes me feel like im watching a cartoon instead of a movie. With puppets at least it's something on screen that looks like it can be 'touched' by the audience. I see that CGI and start thinking about how the actors are interacting with nothing and it pulls me out of my 'movie experience' mode.

On the 7,000 years thing, no I don't think it would need some kind of preservative because animals err sand monsters (lol) like this one would probably be classified as decomposers. Decomposers can break down just about anything but this one would probably use a combination of bacteria and weak enzymes (sort of like a big stomach) to get the job done.

nerdstomp!

I love pacman-shaped enzymes.

ROFL THINKER! WHAT A WAY TO GO OUT.


THAT WAS VERY STYLISH OF YOU!

CAPS IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

<NO SARCASM HERE> I am very proud of thinker this day.


EDIT: I think about it now, and I did let the enzymes in my brain lead my finger to type the above statements. However it was remarkably enjoyable.

I was busily trying to dig up the video on Apoptosis to show you because its my absolute favourite of these, and then realized you were the one who sifted it. Thanks!

i like these visualizations better when they put in the 'noise' of other chemicals and proteins and enzymes all banging against each other... this is so clean that it makes things look very miraculous and directed when they're usually not.

The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs
Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough
Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it
I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
Gun control means using both hands in my land
Where it's all about the cautious livin'
Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable,
Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable.

I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses
I'm sick of talkin' about blunts,
Sick of Versace glasses,
Sick of slang,
Sick of half-ass awards shows,
Sick of name brand clothes.
Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks,
Cocaine and crack
Which brings sickness to blacks,
Sick of swoll' head rappers
With their sicker-than raps
Clappers and gats
Makin' the whole sick world collapse
The facts are gettin' sick
Even sicker perhaps
Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse

Man life can get all up in your ass baby you betta work it out

A meteor has more right than my people

That's why the Native Tongues have officially been re-instated

(Hey yo, what about that love?)

Yo, it's about love for cars, love for funds
Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid
We living in them days of the man-made ways
Where every aspect is vivid,
these brothers no longer talk shit
Hey yo, these niggas live it
'Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone
Plug One translating the zone
No offense to a player, but yo, I don't play
And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way
J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?

I say G's are making figures at a high regard
And niggas dying for it nowadays ain't odd
Investing in fantasies and not God
Welcome to reality, see times is hard
People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card
Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars
See, shit like that will make your mama cry
Better watch the way you spend it

Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti

But they ain't organized!

Mixing crimes with life enzymes
Taking the big scout route
And niggas know doubt better
Than they know their daughters
And their sons
(Oh boy)

Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain
Positive contact just like my main man
Who got others cleaning up his physical influence
His mind got congested
He got the nine and blew it
Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors
Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
Under I who be rhyming from dark to light sky
Experiments when needles and skin connect
No wonder where we live is called the projects
When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do
Anything to get the piece of the pie
Electrify
Even die for the cash

This issue is closed like an elevator door
But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the

Indeed, manipulative as the ad is, there is is no use fighting this stuff with FUD.
There have been a few basic studies on the dietary impact of glucose and fructose, particular in relation to insulin.

In terms of satiety, this is a fairly recent report :
^ Monsivais et al. (2007). "Sugars and satiety: does the type of sweetener make a difference?". American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 86: 116–123.

Chemically the corn syrup (55% fructose and 45% glucose) used in foods is very similar to sucrose (50% fructose and 50% glucose) and thus mimics its apparent sweetness.
The chief difference, aside from the slight increase in fructose is that sucrose is a disaccharide - the fructose and glucose are covalently bonded by a condensation reaction (removal of a H20).
Corn syrup however, consists of individual molecules of glucose and fructose, which aside from tasting different, can be absorbed more readily by the body : The body requires an enzyme to break down the sucrose into fructose and glucose.

It's pretty clear that refined foods are for the most part bad for us because they deliver nutrients in concentrations far greater than we could ever get by harvesting food by hand. High concentrations of fructose could be problematic.
Honey from bees contains free fructose and glucose molecules (48%,47%), and so would pose a similar risk - the main difference is that honey is not consumed in such vast concentrations as found in soft drinks.

If you really want to taste how much sugar is in a soft drink. Let it go cold and flat and see how much you can drink.

So sadly, I think the advert does have a point: It is probably fine in moderation though perhaps they should have stated (and like honey, it is fine in moderation).

Is that some Red Drink she's having?

HFCS-55 and HFCS-42 are "made from corn" but so are some forms of plastic.

And "doesn't contain any artificial ingredients" is hilarious. It's made using a genetically modified enzyme and requires a huge amount of processing that refines it down to the point it no longer has anything to do with corn.
Due to the FDA having no definition of "natural", a product would have to be made of 100% ground ghosts to stop being natural. At least we can be assured it contains no supernatural ingredients.
I know, I hate their lies. "natural," thanks for the laugh!

When you soak them, rinse them, and like they say leave them upside down like that (rinsing every day)... as soon as they get the first leaves, put them in the sun (in the jar) and they will get beautifully green, at which point you can float them all in a big bowl of cool water and all of the husks/unsprouted seeds will skim off the top or sink to the bottom! This leaves you with your sprouts which you can then keep in the fridge in a container lined with wet paper towels to eat all week. Awesome on a tuna sandwich, alone, or as a salad with dinner. You can sprout any bean or seed. Our favs are broccoli seed (sprout is more spicy), mung bean, lentils, and alfalfa (which you can spend upwards of $2.00 for in the grocery store!). Never underestimate the power of those enzymes, you know...

The fly trap is indigenous to the coastal bogs of North and South Carolina. I grew up in this area. When I was 5 I would hunt for them in the nearby forest. I kept trying to transplant them around the foundation of our house. I would water them and give them dead flies, not knowing they need live flies to stimulate the release of their digestive enzymes. No matter how much attention I paid them, they would wither and die. Anyhow, due to habitat destruction, they are endangered and protected.

I don't mean to sound offensive or that I'm attacking you, Doc_M, but that sounds like a lot of doublespeak. You write: "A pure atheist will say that since there is no god in the first place, the ONLY option is random evolution (via good ole natural selection and drift)." First off, most educated atheists will concede nothing can be proven 100%, so we still have to entertain the idea that possibly there is a very minute chance that a god exists. This is the same as saying we cannot prove a teacup isn't orbiting the Sun. Our understanding of facts as we perceive them gives us a pretty good idea that that tea cup doesn't exist, but we cannot prove it to be an absolute. Secondly, evolution is not random. Creationists like to shoot holes in evolutionary theory by trivializing it and suggesting it to be random, as if the human stereo optic eye was randomly created overnight by some accidental natural fluke. Ridiculous.

This Earth has been around for 4.6 billion years, and simple cell organisms began 4 billion years ago. If you think about the process of life changing for 4 billion years (4 billion!), then it's not an impossible timeline for complex changes from light sensitive membranes to the modern eye. Evolution works not randomly but within the specific needs for a species survival. Sometimes genetic changes happen in short periods, such as with early humans in dairy cultures evolving genetically to digest milk during adulthood. Their bodies started producing lactose-digesting enzyme known as lactase. In areas absent of dairy cultures such as China and parts of Africa the adults could not digest the milk.

And, atheists don't have only one source of "knowledge", as you say. They have all sources. They study, test and debate all these sources, and through doing so they cannot base anything in this physical world against the bible. It's irrelevant to science. Christians, in my opinion, tend to be anchored to one source of "knowledge": the bible. They're largely inflexible, whereas science is always flexible. Science wants to be disproved so it can learn why it was wrong. Someone please tell me of a Christian who wants their beliefs to be disproved.

This video is garbage. There are some issues with consumer awareness about the effect of CO treated meat, but the bottom line *SHOULD* be that CO treatment actually does extend the shelf life of meat. E Coli growth is slowed, rancidity is slowed, meat actually lasts longer.

If you wanted to talk about fish, then yes- I absolutely agree. The deterioration of fish is due to anaerobic processes within the flesh itself- enzymes breaking down the flesh, etc. CO treatment does nothing good for fish.

But it does actually improve meat's shelf life.

Often times, people will cite Canada as being an example of a country where CO has been banned in meat packaging. I've actually spoken with some of the people that made that happen, and we didn't ban it because it is wrong. We banned it because of "public perception". Which is to say, videos like this one.

Get your facts straight before you make a video like this and distribute it on the interwebs. Shame on the producer. At least the news report that you're using has some facts -- don't try and turn it into a huge government conspiracy.

"CARBON MONOXIDE GAS" ffs. ONOZ Deadly toxic gas!!!!

Did you know that your computer uses DEADLY ELECTRICITY!? That's right, the same kind that ELECTROCUTES PEOPLES ZOMG!!!!
