7/21 http://www.nightlight.org/snowflakeadoption.htm Christian adoption site supports baby on baby action? (Check out the picture on the front page.) \_ while already-born children go unadopted. nice. \_ Well, it kind of makes sense. It's about as anti-abortion as you can get short of live-birthing someone else's aborted fetus. \_ As I understand it, it's very hard to adopt a baby, demand far outstrips supply. It is easy to adopt older children, but most people don't want to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if this organization supported older child adoption as well, they almost certainly aren't against it, but it seems pretty reasonable to respond to demand with supply to me. \_ Sure, but in this case the supply of widgets that we're talking about are children who aren't being adopted. These are essentially "unwanted" children. So, isn't it better to solve the unwanted children problem with abortion? \_ As I just pointed out, adpoting babies is hard. If people know they don't want a baby when it's a baby (or in utero), finding someone to adopt it is pretty easy. (Assuming the baby is healthy). Since retroactive abortion is currently illegal, abortion does not solve the our current problems with unwanted children, who are older. Of course, part of the reason adoption is hard now is because abortion has cut off much of the supply. \_ It's even harder than that. Many court decisions have given the birth parents the right to "take back" parenting rights even years after the adoption goes through. \_ Yeah, does anyone think that's a good idea? |

7/18 If you hike in some park, fell, and broke your leg or something,
and had to be rescued, are 'they' gonna send you a big bill?
What if some criminal chase after you with a gun and shot you?
I assume the police won't send you a bill. What about the fire
department?
\_ Actually that might not be true. For instance a small chunk
of park entry fees may go into a "rescue fund".
\_ Who is 'they'? You would definitely get billed for the ambulance
or helicopter medical evac. If you had health insurance, it would
probably cover some or all of this. -dans

5/30 Baby born in China with 3 arms
http://www.local6.com/news/9290536/detail.html (pic included)
\_ something something arms race with China.
\_ That's awesome--you could make a living as a pickpocket. -John
\- ^pickpocket^gigolo
\_ That is kind of an interesting ethical question. Assuming the
two left arms are somewhat functional and not hazardous to his
health, chopping one off is a little strange. What if someone
evolved some extra functionality and doctors always chopped
it off? What if having three arms was actually useful? Modern
culture is based on the use of tools. And three arms might
theoretically allow this guy to be a genius musician or artisan.
By chopping it off when he's a baby they are robbing him of a
body part without his consent. Maybe not in this case but it's
interesting in principle.
\_ How is this a hard ethical question? You do what is best for
the kid medically. And that is a science question, not a
philosophical one. A case where you have siamese twins and
you have to make a decision that affects each differently has
more of an ethical flavor.
\_ I said "assuming [they are] not hazardous to his health".
That makes it a philosophical question. That, plus the
fact that many doctors really don't know what the fuck
and basically make varyingly-educated guesses. It sounds
like in this particular case both arms are impaired, but
only one is in the "right place", so they will probably
chop the lower one off and hope the other one develops.
But even if they both worked fine I bet they'd do it for
cosmetic reasons.
\_ Um, "circumcision". OK, a foreskin is not nearly as cool as
a third arm, but still. I'd love to have a third arm. Or a hand
coming out of my forehead, so I can hold a cigarette while
doing other stuff, or keep my sunglasses real cool-like sort
of halfway up. -John
\_ But would they be Peril Sensitive?
\_ Ah, wonderful. A hack troll to keep the memory of his
hack writer hero alive. *sigh*
\_ It's a joke. Get over it.
\_ Oh, I've been over that hack for quite awhile now.
\_ Uh ok. The movie sucked but there's no reason
to be this bitter. The guy is dead and never
hurt anyone while alive.
\_ I'm actually quite entertained at the moment.
\_ I'm happy that you're happy.
\_ Yeah, and circumcision is up for debate also. Just because
it's in some people's culture doesn't mean it's ok. I
do not want people chopping off my body parts. Foreskins
aren't mutant anomalies and neither are they a credible
health problem. It's also meaningless from a religious
point of view since the baby has no clue about the matter.
(There's also the problem of inflicting pain on babies...)
\_ I wasn't referring to circumcision as "something that's
done anyway, so it should be a precedent". I think
whacking bits off anyone without their aware consent,
unless said bits are life-threatening, is dumb. -John |

5/29 My fitness trainer/nutritionist says I should try to eat all
organic food from now on. He claims my American wife is huge
because of lack of exercise (which we're addressing right
now), and also because of all the excess growth hormones
we take in from milk, cows, and chicken. He claims that
Europeans are thinner because they exercise more (no dispute
in that) and also they eat more organic food and meat from
happy animals that exercise more and are injected with less
hormones and antibiotics. He claims that unlike US meat,
European meat aren't subject to carbon dioxidation and red
dyes to make them look more appealing. He also claims that
European cows are are injected with less antibiotics and
hormones, so while they look smaller and thus less profitable
to sell and more expensive to buy than the US cows, they're
much healthier to eat. How much of what he says is real
and/or bullshit? Are Americans really eating much more growth
hormones, antibiotics, and other residual chemicals than
the Europeans? Do extra hormones really make you unhealthy?
\_ Um "organic" does not necessarily mean "better". Your guy is
full of shit. The average European plate is smaller, food is more
expensive, and public transportation is generally better (I didn't
see that many fat people in New York.) Pesticides and additives
and what not don't have much to do with your fitness, as poster
below correctly says. Avoid corn starch, white flour, processed
sugar, etc. etc. etc., whole books have been written on how to
eat well. A good rule I saw was that a portion of protein should
be about the size of a deck of cards. -John
\_ He's right from a nutrition point of view. I'm not sure it
matters from a trainer point of view. That is, it's not good
for you to eat hormone-laced beef but by doing so, although you
may be less healthy, you'll probably not weigh any more/less
than a person who eats 100% organic beef (all else equal).
\_ What is true is that Europe has been moving more and more towards
not allowing really bad ways of factory farming animals, while
in the USA the government keeps relaxing the rules unless some
disaster happens (like mad cow). We use 8 times as many anti-
biotics for livestock as people in this country.
\_ Yes, but our cow is bigger and more profitable. Case
in point, look at the government endorsed Monsanto
Corporation and how their products increased farmers'
yields and saved farm families from going bankrupt.
Case in point, most of our milk today is produced using
rBGH, a synthetic hormone that has helped countless American
girls blosom into full bodied women; European women on
the other hand look unhealthily anorexic because they
lack rBGH intake in their dairy products. Hormones +
antibiotics=good profit + beautiful women. I guess you
regulation-loving communists will never understand it.
\- i think that is horseshit. many europeans eat smaller
portion sizes [why a friend of mine immediately began
gaining weight after moving back from london/amsterdam/paris
back to SF. as an illustration compare an "italian pizza"
with a usa pizza]. why are you approaching this in generic
terms? are you interested in discussing nutrition and diet
\- Your brain has been classified as: small. ok thx.
\_ Re: portion size in US vs Europe etc:
http://csua.org/u/g15
or do you have a fitness goal. assuming the latter, dont
worry about "the europeans" and just figure out what you
should do exercise/dietwise to get there. i would start by
tracking your food to see where your calorie/fat/protein
\_ proper dieting with strict calorie intake and moderate
exercise are good. Lack of unnecessary growth hormones,
fat, and anti-biotics would be even better. rBGH,
a growth hormone banned for health reasons in every
industrialized country, is still used heavily in the U.S.
Monsanto's own data revealed that feeding IGF-1 (from
to rBGH) to adult rats for only two weeks significantly
increased body and liver weights, and bone length.
More critically, increased IGF-1 blood levels have been
incriminated as a major cause of cancer. IGF-1 induces
uncontrolled growth of normal human breast cells in tissue
culture, and has been incriminated in their transformation
to cancer cells.
http://www.organicconsumers.org/rBGH/milkismilk20405.cfm
is coming from and in what quantity. for example, at some
point i discovered i was ingesting maybe 1/3 of my calories
from sugary-liquids [fruit juice, orange juice, coke etc].
maybe you should ask your trainer/nutritionist what he/she
thinks about fruitcake. |

1/21 The Thailand-US free-trade agreement: enriching drug companies at the
expense of Thai citizens!
http://csua.org/u/eq3 (huffingtonpost.com)
\_ While this may be a very minor point in the overall article, I
I don't understand where he gets the idea of generic drug companies
being forced to conduct tests as being "unethical." Most people
whom I know in non-US pharma outfits see FDA regulations as a
major PITA, but at some level at least, see that they usually
(with a few egregious exceptions) make sense. -John
\_ Thailand is being absolutely stupid to sign bilateral trade
agreement with USA at first place. The reason why USA was pushing
for bilateral agreement is because WTO has built-in arbitration
mechanism thus USA couldn't really get away with all the wrong
doings. With bilateral agreement, there is no mechanism for smaller
economy to challenge dispute and/or violations

11/28 Historical CPR guidelines:
1995: 15 presses and 5 breaths
2000: 15 presses and 2 breaths
2005: 30 presses and 2 breaths
\_ Slightly interesting, but did you have a point?
\_ People having grown a larger lung capacity with weaker hearts?
\_ It also varies between training agencies. The class I took about
a month ago suggested 15 presses and two breaths per cycle. The
change I found most noticeable from the last time I took a CPR
class (1993) was that they taught us to position our hands between
the victims nipples instead of coming up slightly from the tip of
the breastbone. The recommendations change over time as they
find different things working or failing in the field. The basic
idea of "get some air into the victim and squish it around"
remains unchanged.
\_ Bio nitpick: CPR is about getting some air in the lungs and then
putting pressure on the chest so the blood moves.
\_ how was pp's version wrong?
\_ "squish it around", i guess it depends on the meaning
of "it"
\_ Well, technically, I'm "squishing it around some"
on myself as I type. While semantically accurate, it
doesn't concisely explain what's actually happening.
He did make his point though, so this really is a
nitpick.
\_ "it" == "oxygenated blood". The reason you're trying to
move blood during CPR is to deliver oxygen.
\_ the joke in EMS is that the primary purpose of CPR is to
treat the anxiety of the person treating the patient. |

8/28 Any serious weightlifters here? does anyone have any ideas on how
to "jumpstart" my muscles? I've been benching the same weight for
several years without much increase in max or chest size, and
I'm wondering what, if anything, I can do? the only thing I've
tried is not lifting for a few weeks, and that did not help
at all. thanks.
\_ supplements like creatine
\_ ask ax (or as blacks say, ax ax)
\_ I've increased my weightlifting capacity on bench from
say, 130 to 195 via 6-9 months or so of consistent work.
I haven't gotten 'huge', but I've had some increase, and I've
been eating 'healthy', with a little bit of emphasis on
protein, but not huge. For bench, I do 3-4 sets, with set
1 being warmup at 115, and thereafter doing weights that
I can lift 6-8 times, inclusive. I lift 3 hours per week or
so. I do 6-8 hours of cardio exercise per week. I am not on
any steroids or supplements. I do not exercise the same muscles
2 days in a row if I can help it, except cardio/abdominals. It
is possible you need to do more than bench. I do pull-ups, dips,
incline bench, seated rows, and sometimes biceps.
But if you haven't been doing anything wrong, you may have just
hit your maximum without chemical enhancement. What is your age?
\_ Because of my schedule, I can only go to the gym 4x/week,
max. I do 3 days of lifting and 1 day of cardio. I do
one day of chest/triceps, one of back/biceps, and one of
shoulders/legs, and I do 2 exercises for each set of
muscles. I definitely do not want to try any nutrition
supplements (shakes, creatine, etc), but I could try
modifying my regular diet. And I'm 26. Thanks. -op
\_ consider changing your workout around a bit, it may
stimulate other muscles that you have not been using
that may be impeding improvement. buy books that
have new exercise regimens you haven't tried.
but really, if you're serious, get a personal trainer.
\_ Roids!
\_ I'm a bad guy to ask- I benched 335 at age 23 at a body weight
of 190 lbs. I'm now 35 years old, weigh 189, and bench maybe 250.
I have high cholesterol, so I can't eat the red meat I need to regain
my power. With that in mind, my best gains in bench strength came when I
became obsessed with benching 275 for 10. (I had been doing it for 5
reps for years.) I lifted as heavy as I could
on every workout, I ate 3/4 lb hamburgers after every workout, I
ignored my aching joints and back. I was able to maintain that kind
of intensity for a few months. I got 275 for 9. The point is that
if you are stuck, you will have to put in a superhuman effort in
terms of lifting heavy weights and eating high protein if you want
to get past it. In terms of chest size, as is most size, it's pretty
linear with how much you weigh assuming you are working out and not
fat. I've found that for size increases, you don't have to do as much
heavy lifting, but regular training is more effective- lots of pushups,
dips, etc. Good Luck! Plateaus are a pain, but if you can make the
sacrifices, you can get past them. Eventually the cost to get past them
will be more than you are willing to pay. That's where I'm at.
Cardio doesn't really help you gain size or strength, it just saps
your bench in my experience. My lowest bench presses are usually
when I'm in my best cardio shape. -ax
\_ I have weak ankles and jogging/running is contraindicated. If I get
my cardio through swimming (breast-stroke), will this work out the
same muscles I'm working when I bench? --erikred
\_ People who swim a LOT usually have great pecs, and they
bench more than average, but if you want a big bench
press, I haven't found a way better than bench pressing
as much weight as you can handle. -ax
\_ Sorry, I mean, will swimming count as using the same
muscles (i.e., overworking them) as benching? --erikred
\_ 1. Why the same weight? You should be increasing. Do fewer reps
with more weight. 2. Work different muscles. Use free weights
or machines. Just doing a bench all the time won't cut it. Your
muscles are getting used to it. This is from my dad, who is
60, weighs 160, and benches 350+. He is a personal trainer. Also,
what ax says is true. Eat more protein/ change your diet. --dim
\_ Your Dad is a genetic wonder, you should thank him on a daily
basis. I'm sure there is endless hard training involved, but
those are truly amazing stats. Wow. I've only met one guy
like that in my whole life. And it's true, if you just
bench all the time, eventually you will hit an impasse. -ax
\_ You Dad is a genetic wonder, you should thank him on a daily
basis. Those are truly amazing stats. Wow. -ax
\_ He works out 6 days per week for hours each time. Sometimes
it is weights and others it is cardio. He is not trying to
bulk up. At his age it may not be possible. He was huge (like
a bodybuilder) when was young. He weighed over 200 then,
which is a lot since he's 5'9". No one could adhere to the
diet he keeps and not go crazy. Personally, I find weight
training boring and don't do it - genetics or not. The other
funny part is that many of his clients want to look like
he does and/or be that strong for their age. Most of them
don't last long. It's not the best business for him, but he
doesn't want to screw with someone who is not serious. He
says women make better clients because they want to look
good more than lift a lot. Young guys can lift a lot, but
look like hell (too bulky in some places and skinny legs for
example). When they lift a lot they think they are fit,
which is not really true.
\_ I'm a bit mystified by people who are neither lifting weights
for looks nor for cross training for some other sport. Is it
about bragging rights?
\_ Probably. There's an emphasis on how much you can lift
(usually on the bench press). "Yeah, I do 550." Dad
says a lot of those guys can't do squats and are
cardiovascularly unfit. Good looks come through
proportion and not working out just the chest and
biceps. |

7/5 punky brewster way pregnant
http://tinypic.com/6rrkld.jpg
\_ Cute little Punky Brewster... the good 'ol 80s when I grew up.
2 decades later, she got fat, ugly, and too busy endulging
herself with latte fratte & capuccino that she doesn't care about
anything else except with things concerning herself. In a way,
that is like many of us, a typical apathetic and lazy Gen-X that
our media accurately stereotype us to be. Gen-X is one the most
pathetic generation out there. You heard me right. Whereas our
parents were in-tune with the environment, were sensitive to
social inequalities, and were filled with a sense of honor to
change the world for a better place, the Gen-X were too busy
buying the latest Yuppie toys, drinking Starbucks and obsessed
with making money without doing hard honest work to earn it.
Shame on Gen-X. It's TIME FOR INTROSPECTION.
\_ You need to take off those rose colored glasses about the Baby
Boomers and stop listening to what your parents told you about the
60's.
\_ Our parents protested against war, bombed institutions,
dropped out of school, and did drugs. They made big news and
caused our politicians to think twice. Maybe the effects
were not always what they intended, but the fact of the
matter was that they had guts and passion. Fast forward to
us Gen-X. We were too busy with ourselves and our Atari,
Colleco, Nintendo, and Sega. We don't give a damn about
anything but ourselves. They say that there's always a
bit of truth in stereotypes, and the media is right on
target.
P.S. The fact that there are many GenX on motd and only 1
addressed or came to their defense says a lot about the
so called apathetic GenX.
\_ Just out of curiousity, did YOUR parents do those
things? Also, most of that crap was in response to
the draft. You see a draft these days? Also, most
hippies became yuppies. Big protest.
\_ I read on this liberal blog the other day that women
often gain weight during pregnancy.
\_ Go see the movie, Wallstreet. That is your parents' generation.
Thankfully, I was born after the Boomers but before their kids,
the so-called Gen-X kids so whatever you and your horrible
parents do to the world is not my fault. There aren't enough
of us "in-betweeners" to even get a catchy media created label.
\_ Just curious, what year where you born? I was born in 1965
and I consider myself part of the first Gen-Xers.
\_ Go find a chart showing how many new borns there were for
each year from 1945 to now. 1965 is the very tail end of
the baby boomers. Between 1966 and about 1972 or so births
were way down (comparitively), then they shot up again as
the post-WWII boomers started having kids. From ~67 to
maybe 71 or 72 you're neither boomer nor "gen-x".
\_ My impression is:
1950: Boomers
1960: In-Betweener
1970: Gen-X (video game generation)
1980: Gen-Y
Correct me if I'm wrong
\_ I thought: Gen-75, Gen-Y: '80+, also the kids of the
boomers are Gen-Y, not Gen-X. I was born in '76,
and consider myself young for Gen-X, but too old for
Gen-Y.
\_ You are wrong .. j/k.
I think t is:
boomers: 45-65
Gen-X: 65-80
Gex-Y: 80+
I qualify as a Gen-Xer mostly because I went to college
late, so all my friends are born in 1970 or so, but I
really think 1965 is right on the cusp.

6/15 I know there was a discussion a couple of weeks ago about RSI and
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome but I wasn't paying attention. Now my SO has
developed wrist pain after using the computer for a couple of hours
(we're guessing it's RSI not CTS but we're not sure) and I'd like to
know: a) is this something people go to see a doctor about and if so
does anyone have any recommendations for a good doctor (preferably
in the south bay)? b) any specific advice besides "take breaks every
10 minutes" etc, especially about setting up an ergonomically healthy
computer desk setup?
\_ You need to approach this problem from all sides. I had RSI and
the pain was so severe that after an hour typing I'd have so much
pain that I'd have to stop. I took frequent mini vacations but
after a while they no longer worked. I finally filed for worker's
comp through HR and they'd set me up with 2 chiropractor
appointments a week. By the way, despite what you hear, worker's
comp for RSI is very very common in Silicon Valley and in many
cases the HR shields this information from your peers and boss.
Anyways, here is the 411 from my doctors and chiropractors. As
you get older, the ability for your body to regenerate muscles,
cartilage, etc diminish. Many short distance runners have to quit
because they can no longer regenerate some parts at a rate they
used to, and eventually their body parts wear out that it hits
the nerves. Same with typing. You're getting older. You'll never
feel as good as flexible and agile as when you were 18, but you
can do a few things. First, increase the rate at which your body
regenerates-- EXERCISE! Cardio is the best. Do this twice a week,
you'll notice dramatic differences in a few months. You should
also STRETCH your hands once every 30 min when you type. Make
this mandatory! Lastly, as a temporarry but immediate relief, use
Kinesis-Ergo keyboard. I did something drastic and even used
Dvorak layout on top of my Kinesis, but there is a lot of
commitment involved. Finally, do all of the above and do it
CONSISTENTLY. It's been 3-4 years since I started my therapy
and according to my doctors and chiros I'm 80-90% healed.
\_ I'd email you exactly how I got rid of my RSI but you're anonymous
\_ I'd email you and tell you my login so you can e-mail me your
advice but you're anonymous... oh wait.
\_ you're the one asking for help, dude.
\_ email me please. !op kngharv
\_ maybe you should email williamc@csua.berkeley.edu because he says
there is no correlation between RSI and typing. Maybe he can give
you advice on what he does that prevents him from getting RSI, like
proper diet or just having fewer neurons that dulls your sensation.
\_ I found that not resting my wrists below the level of (or for
laptops, on) the keyboard, trying to work in not-too-cold
temperatures, using a wrist pad, using a low-impact keyboard (easy
to push keys, not too clicky) and just doing wrist/hand/forearm
stretching exercises every few minutes helped a lot. -John
\_ I think John's suggestions are all good. I use the Soft
Splints from http://www.mousemitt.com to keep my wrists
at the proper level and keep my hands warm while typing.
You may end up looking like a Hobo or Glenn Gould or something
wearing them, but I prefer them to wrist pads, especially for
laptops. - ciyer
\_ I find this mouse very helpful, eventhough it may look like an
obscene sex toy: http://www.animax.no or, if you can't find it
anywhere, try amazon and look for:

\_ That looks good. I might get one of those. It's funny that it
looks a lot like a good ole fashioned joystick. Incidentally, I

CAD work for more than an hour at a time now, but I still get

\_ I got one of those bowl keyboards.
http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/essential.htm and yes they are

keyboard the pain is totally gone now. -aspolito
\_ You can find utilities that remind you to take rest breaks, or just
set a kitchen timer. Learn about stretches specific for
keyboarding
http://www.askergoworks.com/about_erg_stretch_breaks.asp has a
downloadable .pdf with examples of stretches. I also find that a
split keyboard helps. I switched to vim for editing so I don't use
ctrl-alt chording as much as I did with emacs. I also started
mousing with my left hand (I can play FPS's now, though it took a
while to adjust). Finally, strength exercises for back and
shoulders help your posture and force your body into a position
that's better for your arms.
\_ I went to the Stanford hand clinic when I had a problem with my
ulnar nerve. Had physical therapy, which was almost all just hot
paraffin wraps of my forearms. They also had me do exercises
with silly putty and elastic bands to strengthen my wrists, and
I use softcasts whenever I type for extended periods. All that
seemed to work, and I've been pain free for years now. The paraffin
wraps helped calm down my inflamed ulnar, and I think my longer
term nerve-healthiness is due to the softcasts. I am not sure the
exercises helped a whole lot, but I wasn't terribly diligent in
doing the exercises in the first place. BTW, I had a grand old
time talking the clinic resident into ordering all kinds of
expensive nerve induction tests, all of which were paid for by my
insurance. There's probably some kind of insurance-reform parable
in there somewhere.

\_ The Saudis are half right. Now if they could just ban men from
driving cars also, they'd be on to something.
\_ Then they'll have more oil to export. Good for us, good for
them.
\_ Actually they're on to something. Men are more likely to get into
an accident, but they also drive twice as far. Mile for mile, women
are 2X more likely to get into an accident. I can attribute this to
the fact that every time I see someone driving recklessly, it is
a female driver talking on the cell phone while doing make-up. I
also have observations on drivers over 80 years old and immigrant
drivers, but I'll save them later.
\_ WTF do you mean by "immigrant"? Asian backwoods folks? Or Russians?

that mean highway (safer) miles? Most accidents happen near the

ASAP _/
\_ especially if you press your finger there, and when you remove
your finger it hurts - that's your appendix rupturing

the duty nurse. You can talk to this person and they can usually
give you good advice on whether to go to the emergency room, or
visit your doctor. Plus, they would know if there is a doctor
available at their clinic that has open appointments.

1/22 My gf and I were always fit, but as we get older we'd like to
start working out. We already do stuff like Pilates. We want to
learn to weight train, but not break the bank. Where do we start?
We checked out some health clubs and they seem more geared towards
parting us from our money. Do we hire a trainer? If so, how do we
choose one?
\_ Have you looked at the good ole fashioned YMCA? There are many
cheaper but the Y staff aren't used car salesmen. Most Ys
have pools, sauna, hot tub, steam room, towel service, many many
classes, trainers (separate fee) and, should you end up that way,
2 hours of free child care/visit. -- ulysses
\_ How about getting your own weight machine type of thing and
using it?
\_ Sure. Which one works and how do we learn to use it?
\_ Get a bench and a bunch of free weights. The home machines are
not worth what you have to pay for them.
\_ Don't discount gyms out of hand--I'd ask around. There are bound
to be reputable ones, which will give you help with weight
training (before trying a new exercise, you should ask someone who
knows what they're doing, or you'll very possibly do it wrong and
have no benefit or hurt yourself--lots of people are embarrassed to
ask the trainers at gyms, which is what they are paid for.) If
you get a home setup, the above poster's spot-on. -John
\- re: "health clubs seem like a ripoff" ... what do you feel
is a reasonable monthly or yearly fee for a "health club"?
and i assume you mean a gym. if you want stuff like towel
service, you should expect to pay. if you feel the gym fees
are too much, i think you will find the trainer fees high.
you do pilates? are you a woman? --psb
you do pirates? are you a woman? --psb
\_ It's interesting that you point out the "gym" vs. "health
club" thing. I've spent the last few months comparing
outfits in the east bay. There are now many many more
"health clubs" than gyms. For gyms you have Gold's, World,
God's (in Oakland) and Ironworks. Everybody else is a
health club, which range from hole in the wall personal
trainers to glorified yoga studios to full-on 24 Hour-esque
franchises like Club One. The neighborhood gym appears to
be a thing of the past. -- ulysses
\_ Are you asking me? I have no clue, as my gym is in .ch. I
get good weights & exercise machines, it's clean, the
trainers are professionals, and a sauna/hot tub/steam bath,
squash courts and nice selection of exercise classes for
about 70 bucks/month. -John
\_ It's not that the fees are too high. It's that the clubs
seem mostly interested in screwing you out of your money
in the way a used car dealer does. I didn't find anything
upfront about it and I wasn't exactly sure what I'd be
paying for. At least with a trainer I'd feel less likely
I'm being fucked around with - or are trainers also a
shady lot?
\_ Could you be more specific about their ripoff schemes?
I've never joined a gym, but I'm curious.
\_ I would definitely lift for the first couple of months with a
professional who knows what they're doing. It's very easy to
injure yourself on weights if you don't know what you're doing.
I think after the first few months you could indeed lift without
a trainer. However, remember that weight lifting is not
super-aerobic, and you should pair it with some cardio-based
workouts for your heart. -chaos

\_ You haven't been to campus recently, have you? :)

She assures me that the eye candy for women
is more plentiful than that for men, just as was
the case in the mid 90's when I was there. This
compared to her earlier campus, UCLA, where she
said she often felt faint walking through
campus for all the esteem-destroying
competition. Not in Berkeley. If you can
prove otherwise with pix. Please post.
\_ I don't think using UCLA or UCSD as a
standard is sane.
\_ I guess it depends on whether you prefer
the bleached blond, fake bake, boob job look
over the healthy lean asian hottie. I prefer
the latter.
\_ Have you not sat down and watched at
UCLA yet? You can also go to Beverly
Center on a weekend.
\_ A healthy number of pools, fitness classes, a good range of
equipment, and you'll always be in better shape than that
old Sociology prof who keeps trying to make good on his
'01 resolutions. Seriously, though, it's fine if you live
nearby, much less so if you don't.
\_ The RSF gym is not just crowded. It's VERY crowded when I was
in school a decade ago. You couldn't do something like do a
set, rest 10sec, and do one more, because there would be six or
seven pairs of eyes looking at you disgustingly. You have to
either start your next set immediately, or get up and wait at
the end of the long line again.
\_ You can haggle. My 24 hour fitness membership is 24 a month
and my company reimburses me for it. But you pay a huge fee
up front.
\_ Indeed, I acted extremely hesitant when I went in to sign
up at one place, so the guy kept tacking on extra months
at no extra cost. Then he gave me a $100 gift certificate
at a shoe store, free training sessions, etc..
\_ Ah, so at 24Hour things are negotiable. I didn't know that.
\_ When I lived in LA back in 1996, I went to Family Fitness.
Lots of machines, nice friendly atmosphere, new and clean
facilities. No frills except for a juice / smoothie bar.
It was like $100 for 6 months then, and they stated it
upfront, no oily sales pitch, no any other fees, just $100
for 6 months.
\_ 24 Hour bought Family Fitness a while back. All hail 24.
\- The one thing I will advise you is if you get any special deals
absolutely get them in writing. I asked for things like being
able to put the membership clock on pause when i was on travel
and sometimes they "forgot" about those agreements or didnt
mention you can only do tht for n-weeks or that there was a
$10 charge to freeze etc. Otherwise if you know what you want,
the pressure shouldnt matter too much.
\_ go to UCLA. Go to the John Wooden Center nearby Ashe Center.
They have a really nice synthetic wall to climb, 3 really really
nice swimming pools, and the gals there look fantastic. Maybe
you can get a new gf as well [one who doesn't yet need to workout]
\_ Go to a gym to find a girl who doesn't need to workout? I
would speculate they look great because they work out.
Otherwise they wouldn't be there.
\_ You and your damn logic.
\_ Threesomes will keep you healthy.
\_ With a female third or male?
\_ Which way is your bread buttered?
\_ Hmm.
1) The third guy screws you while you screw your gf's
front.
2) You screw the third guy while he screws your gf's rear.
3) The third guy screws your gf's front while you screw her
rear.
Each of the three of you have two partners and four
different intercourses. It only takes three positions.
Highly optimized.

\_ Sperm bank is for reproduction, not sex.
\_ This works just as well for guy-girl-girl.

knowingly concealing evidence about the dangers of a drug while
spending millions marketing it to patients and doctors. One
more thing: when I played high school football, most people wore
as many pads as they could. Running backs wore even *more* padding
since they got hit so much. The only people I knew who wore less
padding were quarterbacks (pads can hinder throwing). Maybe the
pros are better at dodging than the people I played with. -emin

Also, they get paid more, so the hit in performance from
more padding is of more interest to them than to a random

to decide if it's appropriate, it's the doctor's.
\_ Is it irrelevant? Assisted suicide is legal in Oregon.
Would you be as unsympathetic to a health worker or
pharmacist in Oregon who refuses to participate in an
assisted suicide case?
\_ Congratulations, you just compared birth control pills
to suicide! Stay tuned for the moral equation of
gay marriage with slavery and the halocaust!
\_ Yep. I assume the pharmacist in the original
story believes that birth control == murder. Just
as some Oregon health care provider might belive
assisted suicide == murder. Legality has very
little to do with morality, which is why I asked
if the poster was pro-choice or pro-life. We
are all relatively comfortable with birth control
being morally neutral, and that allows the prof.
practice poster to take such a strong stand. I
would guess that we can mostly accept that it
would be more legitimate to find assisted suicide
not morally neutral, which is why I asked the
poster if he would still be as comfortable with
his uncompromising stance. If he is just as
uncompromising, great, though one might mention that
following orders is not a sufficient excuse in many
situations. If he is more flexible
with refusing to help with legal assisted suicide,
then that raises the pro-life/pro-choice question,
since the original pharmacist presumably believe
that birth control == murder. In any case, it's
easy to condemn someone, but it's probably not
terribly production. It's much more useful to
try to understand someone's behavior.

\_ he's stupid but still makes a good point. for decades the
medical research field has ignored racial differences when
studying disease and the effects of drugs (also the diff. between
men and women as well). should we ignore race for medical
reasons? does doing so make us racist or does not doing so make
us racist by denying that "we're all the same" and color is only
skin deep, etc? you too easily dismiss the core concept because
it was presented by a moron.
\_ We don't ignore race. It's long been understood that blacks
are more genetically prone toward sickle cell anemia, and
ethnic Jews have a higher rate of Tay-Sachs. Diagnosis and
treatment have been aimed at race.
\_ Those are very obvious cases. There are numerous much
more subtle differences between people/races that most
medical researchers won't touch with a 10 mile pole.
Race is a hot button issue. I wouldn't risk my career or

unequal pay for the same work between men and women is Wal-Mart.
http://www.walmartversuswomen.com/faq.html
"Sworn declarations [in the class-action lawsuit]... among them:
... Managers repeatedly informed women employees that men 'need to be
paid more than women because they have families to support.'
... because 'men are here to make a career and women aren't. Retail is
for housewives who just need to earn extra money.'"
(Moore just ties the behavior of Wal-Mart to the GOP, a link which he
doesn't adequately support.)
\_ The link is obvious. They are the party pushing for deregulation,
gutting the SEC's audit team, trying to gut Tort law, etc etc etc.
The dems push equal pay policy quietly, but at least it's on their

\_ I don't know: you make some good points on GOP favoring corporate

stripping away regulations and litigative powers. These are
the only tools the people, through the government, hold to
keep corporations in check. The GOP want them gone.
The equal pay for equal work people think the issue should be
on the same level of concern as environmental pollution. The
GOP would love to see both concerns vanish.

The New York Times reported on Feb. 16, 2003 that a study
commissioned by the plaintiffs. lawyers and released that month by
Richard Drogin, emeritus statistics professor at California State
University, Hayward, "found that full-time women hourly employees
working at least 45 weeks at Wal-Mart made abut $1,150 less per year
than men in similar jobs, a 6.2% gap. Women store managers, he
found, made an average of $89,280 a year, $16,400 less than men."
No mention of methodology. I'm always suspicious of these kind of
studies because they often do not look for other correlations that
might explain the data.

either. -John

if true).

they are the only three extant members of the finno-ugric
language family i believe. make what conclusions you will.
\_ Don't forget Quenya. -- ilyas
\_ BTW, in Finnish last name goes first, just like in East Asian
languages. This is rare in European languages.
\- finnish is a central asian language.
\_ I heard 1/4 of Finland's GDP is from Nokia and its subsideries.
\_ From few Finnish Americans I know personally, I learned that despit
the graphical proximity, Fins and Swedes have a very different
culture (at least the language). While Fins in some way still
held some degree of animosity toward Swedes, they are forced to
learn Swedish as part of their regular curriculum in their public
education today. -kngharv
\_ Finland also has a section of the army that speaks primarily
sweedish. A finn i know joined the sweedish speaking finnish
army to practice his sweedish during his army service.
imagine if we had a spanish speaking army here in the US.
\_ Finland was part of Sweden for 600 years or so before it became
part of Russia. Now Swedish is one of the official languages in
Finland.
\_ Are Finnish women slim and beautiful just like Swedes and Norwegians?
Or are they more like fat american cows?
\_ they are thin. They also tend to dye their hair dark, unlike
the Swedes who dye blonde.
\_ Finns had the highest suicide rate in the world in 1997 (they've
since begun an aggressive anti-suicide campaign, so it's hard to
assess whether this ranking still holds true). They also have
one of the highest alcoholic rates in the world. What does this
tell you about Finnish women? Nothing, but I'm just saying....

siberia and scandenavia. it's the cold and dark, but
mostly the dark.
\_ eh, in the summer it's the opposite of dark. it stays light
basically all night long. the drunks get drunk regardless.
\_ well, ok. the only one i know much about is alaska,
since i grew up there, and worked there in the summers
in college. the winter/alcoholism effect is worsened
by the number of seasonal industries like fishing
that can make you alot of money in the light months,
which you can save up to basically become a professional

9/29 birth control methods include failure percentages in a year, but of
the successful percentages, how many of them are infertile? In
another word do companies take in account of couples who can't
conceive, and take them out of the statistics?
\_ Think about this for a minute.
\_ if you're infertile, why would you use birth control? and even if
you did (because you didn't know), the product would still 'work'
for you. Is this supposed to be a troll or just dumb? It seems
more bizarre than troll.
\_ This is actually a very important question. And yes, studies
take this into account (or they should) when rating
birth control products. Depending on how they conduct the
study and who does it, the assumption is that couples are
fertile and in their prime. Studies like this usually prescreen
and preselect couples, and they typically have a control group.
Since these studies are widely used in academia and are typically
published in JAMA they should be relatively accurate. However,
even the best studies have been proven wrong in the past. JAMA
and the AMA as well as the FDA are hardly failsafe in their
scrutiny.

9/18 Somebody settle an argument between my wife and I. She says that
a woman's ovaries contain *ALL* the eggs that she'll ever have. The
menstrual cycle simply releases one egg every month. I remember in
high school bio that ovaries work like testicles. Sperm cells die
or are ejaculated and new ones are produced every day. Who is right?
Are eggs produced once a month just like sperm cells are produced
every day or are they simply released every month? This came up
because women in their 20s produce healthier babies than women in
their 30s. [yes, I've searched the web and can't find anything
that specific]. Thanks.
\_ She is correct. The ovaries release one egg per month.
\_ I pity your wife. How did she get stuck with such a moron?
\_ Pity.
\_ heh, well some women like their men dumb. btw, not only do
women not produce more eggs, they have a fairly limited
supply, like several hundred. good for normal use, but not for
lots of egg donation.
\_ Nyet! They've got gazillions. Some women like their men both
dumb *and* arrogant.
\_ MYSTERY SOLVED BRO:
During fetal life, there are about 6 million to
7 million eggs. From this time, no new eggs are produced.
The vast majority of the eggs within the ovaries
steadily die, until they are depleted at menopause.
At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs; and by
the time of puberty, only about 300,000 remain. Of these,
300 to 400 will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive
lifetime. The eggs continue to degenerate during pregnancy,
with the use of birth control pills, and in the presence
or absence of regular menstrual cycles. -maxmcc
\_ How do birth control pills cause eggs to degenerate
more than not?
\_ The sentence structures out to "no matter what, the eggs
degenerate."
\_ That's right. When a woman is born, she's got all the eggs
she's ever gonna have.

8/27 Silly question. How many of you are about 5'9"? I'm guessing at least
a few since this is about the average height for white adult
males. Now the real question: what size pants do you wear? I find
that 31x28 or maybe 31x29 fit me just about right, but these are
fairly uncommon sizes. (Specifically, I mean the inseam length,
the second number.) So do you all wear pants that are too long, or
do you have the same trouble I do in finding pants that fit well?
\_ Most people in America are fat, they make 'em for them.
\_ what does being fat have to do with height?
\_ Buy trousers longer than you need them, go by Ernesto's tailoring,
5th floor (left from the elevators, then right, it's on the left
hand side) in the Flood building (863 Market) in SF. He does
a fantastic job and works cheap. You can then let them out more
easily if they shrink later on. -John
\_ i'm about 5'9" and wear 30x32, and they fit well
\_ 5'10" and just focusing on inseam, I try to get 30s, but
often have to buy longer. They just bunch up a little and actually
look cool. They don't drag along the floor.
\_ 5'11". 31x32 or x34 depending on the brand.
\_ 5'9" and I wean 30x36. I'm a sysadm.
\_ it's time to bulk up at the gym, buddy
\_ i'm 5'8 and wear 31x31
\_ 5'8" and wear 32x32, but I can fit down to 30x30 (I like 'em
baggier and longer)
\_ 5'8" and I find that a 30 inseam is perfect for me, and quite
easy to get.
\_ 5'9", size 4 or 6 tall (I'm all legs) -chialea
\_ they say that women's numbering system is changing so that
size 8 will become size 6, size 6 will become size 4, etc.
This is done presumably so that women will feel skinner and
will be happier to buy a lower sized dress than they really
are. Such marketing strategy works pretty well.
\_ general question women's numbering system. Is there a reason
why women's clothes have such weird numbers? With men, the
numbers actually mean something. It's the length of the legs
or the width of your waist, etc. The number system on women
doesn't mean anything. What exactly is a size 4 dress or a
size 6 pants? Anybody know the history of this?
\_ In general, it's waist measurement in inches - 20. This
is for american sizes. I haven't read up on the history
of this, but it probably goes back to the end of corset
culture. Waist size has always been a status symbol, whether
large (fertility/matriarchal cultures) or small (our current
psychotic obsession with emaciation). --scotsman
\_ The sizes are arbitrary so fat women can say they're only a
smaller.
size 12 when size 12 is *huge* and 16 is off scale. Most
women are 12+ these days. Sell to your market.
\_ Can you actually go below size 0? I know one or two who
are, and I can imagine skinnier and more anorexic girls
\_ I think they have "petites" so a petite-size-0 is even
smaller. It's not just anorexics that wear that size,
shorter women sometimes need that size, else their
clothes are too long. My ex-gf was size 2 or more but
since she was short she often wore size 0. Except
these shirts were a bit tight on her big boobs.
\_ I think dresses smaller than size 0 should be sized
much as paintbrushes, e.g. 00, 000, 10/0. -geordan
\_ My mom is 5'1" and 92lbs. She wears 0. I asked once

ballroom dancing in the middle of the machines area. Bizarre sight
on quite a few levels.
\_ Yellow fever?
\_ Creepy. Sounds like my cousin and her husband.
\_ The women want their babies to be tall.
\_ The women wants to feel their long dick.
\_ I am a short guy with a big dick. How can I communicate this

\_ stop wearing pants?
\_ All women want taller men. It's a Darwin thing and it makes
a lot of sense.
\_ to the extreme of a foot difference?
\_ It has nothing to do with her height. It has to do with his.
You think ugly guys have a preference for ugly women? No,
they all prefer attractive women no matter what they look like
themselves. No different for women.
\_ what, you don't think these guys are pedophiles and/or
insecure so they want a small unintimidating girlfriend?
\_ not at all. short != looks 8 y/old. short != timid.
\_ Plenty of women prefer shorter guys. Most prefer tall guys,
this is true, but don't drag Darwin into this. Many societal
standards of beauty have nothing to do with survival.
\_ Plenty? Maybe you're hanging out with the 6'6" amazons or
something but "willing to date" is not the same as "prefer".
Name a society where being short is a positive beauty trait
for a man. I'm sorry some of the short guys here don't get
laid and think women are evil for it but that's just the way
things are.
\_ being bitter about it, yeah real attractive
\_ Jews - David shorty kicks Goliath arse.
Jacob shorty toys with his brother Esau.
Big strong tall Samson stupidly falling
for Delilah's trap.
Compare the bible versus classical greek literature.
The bible never mentions tall as a positive
description, whereas greek literature is full of
such references, not only in descriptions of men
but also of women. Instead the bible likes to
talk about the weak becoming strong, the foolish
becoming wise, and shorty Zacchaeus receiving
Jesus.
\_ The bible is a morality play, not a cultural reference
guide. Go ask some real Jews if being short is a plus
or a minus. They'll give you the same answer as
everyone else. Tall is good. Short is bad. Stop
trying to make Jews into some sort of freaks. It's bad
enough with the haters and ignorance already. -Jew
\_ You are black sheep Jew. Be a good Jew.
\_ Just admit it. The bible is the core of Jewish
culture. You can't escape it. And there is nothing
wrong in being different, or "freaks", if you prefer.
\_ In personals ads the number one request - even more common
than a fat checkbook, a full head of hair, sexual prowess,
or a great personality - is that the guy must be taller
than the woman, and preferably 6' or over. It's rare to find
women that like shorter guys.
\_ That's only because it's not PC to ask for the other
things you mentioned.
\_ Ducking? Nah, it's just not as big a deal as
you make it out to be.
\_ That never stopped anyone from asking for it. Also,
you're ducking (poorly I might add). They never request
short. No woman wants a short guy.

5/21 Man question: what does flushing the urinal while peeing accomplish?
It seems like everybody at my company does, even the young guys
\_ Why flush a urinal at all, except sporadically? It's got a drain
on the bottom anyway, so it's not like the stuff's sitting around.
\_ unflushed unrinals lead to contaminated water being splashed
on your pecker.
\_ Sure it is. You can smell it. Which is part of the reason to
flush afterwards.
\_ Never heard of or seen such a thing. How could you flush a stand
up urinal while still peeing anyway? You don't you touch the thing
with your bare hand, do you? This is what God invented shoes for.
\_ Mine are approximately shoulder level, which inspires careful
scrubbing afterward.
\_ flushing first insures that any splash-back is just your own piss
or water--as opposed to your piss comingled w/ the piss of others.
Personally, I agree w/ the guy who never touches the handle with
his hand... and additionally I only piss in the stalls to further
mitigate the splash-back issue
\_ You probably piss on the seat too. Wanker.
\_ ...and i piss on your keyboard at night when you're not there
making it all pointless.
\_ Your kitchen is probably more contaminated. Germs don't do well
on stainless steel. As long as you wash your hands after
flushing, you don't have to worry about it. Are you one of those
nuts that dries his hands and then uses the paper towel to open
the door (leaving the towel behind)? It's freaks like you that
make the biggest messes.
\_ I do this all the time, but throw the towel in the trash can.
After you see the n-th guy walk out from a stinky stall and
head straight back to work, you'll pick up the habit too.
\_ I do this all the time too, but only after I notice
my manager (male) walk out from the stinky TOILET
back to work w/o washing his hands.
\_ just to mention, pee is sterile unless you have a UTI or kidney
infection. afraid of a little amonia? (I know it SEEMS gross).
\_ The way I avoid splash-back is to aim at the side of the urinal,
so that 1) my piss hits the surface at an angle rather than
perpendicularly, hence reducing splash, and 2) any splash will be
towards the urinal instead of me. See the illustration below.
urinal urinal

No splash. Splash.
It works well on most urinals. It only doesn't work on those
urinals that are very wide and have small side walls. In that
case I control my bladder to not piss with full force.
\_ Here's another alternative:

\_ Congratulations. You win the award for most bored sodan.
\_ On a related note. Guys fart while urinating. It must be
some muscle relaxation thing. I told my wife about this and she
seems rather disgusted. Apparently she never farts while urinating.
Is this true of women in general?
\_ It doesn't enter into her consciousness, but she does it.
We all do. Is she a goer? Does she go?
\_ "goer"??? If you're asking if she farts out loud in my
presense, yes she does.
\_ Say no more.
\_ Seconded. Please say no more.
\_ A wink's as good as a nod to a blind bat,
know what I mean, know what I mean?
\_ Release of bladder pressure and relaxing the muscles in the
region has a lot to do with it.
\_ Some people have a tough time letting go, and the sound of
the running water helps them get started.

\_ For all motd users the right answer is to self sterilize.
\_ Any physician can write you a prescription for them. However,
I'd recommend a GYN doctor for contraceptives, especially if
this is going to be your first time taking contraceptives. The
doctor should do a pelvic exam to rule out any abnormalities before
prescribing you contraceptives. Plus -- as there are a variety of
birth control pills out there, he/she will have the most expertise
in prescribing the best one for your body. If you want to get
even more specific, try out a reproductive endocrinologist (they
specialize in female hormones and are specialized OBGYNs) who
will measure your hormone levels and get a more accurate
assessment. --chris
\_ this is good advice, especially for a first-timer. Hormones can
make even the most level person experience mood swings and other
weird physical effects, so you definitely want someone who knows
how to adjust a prescription if you or your girlfriend doesn't

It's not just Asian women. If anything blond women age faster.

no asian women over 35 who aren't stomach turners. With non-asians
the rate drops but never hits zero. Asians: 35+ = zero hotties.

her body is very hot, something like 5'2" 32D-21-33. Of
course these are only my visual estimates. I wouldn't know
her actual figures. Looking at her is a treat, especially
when she's working out. This is the only one I know in real

\_ Ugly stuff, depression. I'm sorry he didn't think he could get
help from a professional before he died.
\_ Actually, he did get help from a professional. The Wired story
alluded to his getting on Prozac. You can't get a scrip for
Prozac (for depression-- it is prescribed for other things)
without seeing a professional. Mental health professionals are
of varying quality, and though they can do good, they can also
do tremendous harm. This is especially true when medication is
involved because we don't really fully understand how Prozac and
the other modern anti-depressants work. One of the problems
with anti-depressants is that they can give someone who would
otherwise lie in bed all day just enough get up and go to attempt
suicide. - seen it happen
\_ And also, the kneejerk prescription of Prozac or Wellbutrin
and the insistence of excessively long stretches (2-3 months
feels terrible don't help either. There are some psychiatrists
out there who need to be smacked.
instead of say 6 weeks) to "test it out" even if the person
feels terrible don't help either. There are some
psychiatrists out there who need to be smacked.
\_ Although I agree with you that Prozac and Zyban are
over-prescribed, I'd disagree that 2-3 months is an
unreasonable time frame to test the medications out. It
takes most individuals approximately 1 month to acclimate
to SSRIs. Effects vary wildly in that first month, and
two weeks really is much too brief a time frame to
evaluate whether the medication is having a net positive
effect. One problem that is quite common is that SSRIs
are incredibly dose sensitive and vary widely in effect
between different people's brain chemistry. As a result,
many psychiatrists play a dangerous game with each
patient when trying to evaluate what works best for that
particular individual. I have friends who are now quite
stable and happy largely due to meds, but, for many of
them, the period where they were trying to figure out
which medication and what dosage was one of their most
trying periods.
\_ Indeed. Note I said 6 weeks (not 2). I have a close
friend who had a seizure on wellbutrin (I know it was
a seizure. I was there.) And her doctor REFUSED to
believe that she had one. She very quickly found a
new doctor who tried a couple other meds and found
to treat patients with respect. If you feel like there's
an aspiring deity posing as a doctor, get a second
opinion.
\_ I can't belive all this bullshit on prescription drugs! You guys
actually buy this bullshit? You want to get out of depression?
Try cooking your own food from fresh ingredients every day instead
of eating restaurant crap or processed crap. Cut back on meat
intake and exercise at least 30 minutes a day. for thousands of
years human being thrived without allergy medications or anti
depressants. What makes you people so special that you need
these chemicals that just control the symptons?
\_ hello Tawei. What about high quality vitamin C?
\_ stfu
that Zoloft worked wonderfully. All I wanted to say
was that there are many doctors out there who feel like
playing god, and there are many doctors who know how
to treat patients with respect. If you feel like

meets the basic blowjob requirement. Sigh... ya

http://www.siliconvalley.com/news/special/downturn/docs/slow080601.htm
\_ WTF is this woman talking about? If anything, there is way too
little focus on degrees. Our Senior Architect here had a BA in

I've ever seen. And now I'm cleaning up after the fool after

\_ she's trying to do an 'end run' around the little detail

\_ Your fiance... she.. signed "woman"? Where's the

\_ on wonder you dont get laid

\_ The number of women who find programming interesting
is exteremely small. My mom used to be a AI researcher
and of 150 other people in her building only three of
the women were technical, all of the others were admin
staff and disliked computers and even refused to do
simple html web pages.
Personally I've know women who made better grades than
me in math and physics refuse to study engineering (esp.
ee/cs) because it was "too dull". They just didn't like
the sitting in your cube thinking and tinkering aspects
of coding. Almost all of them went to med school or bio
because there was more human interaction.

7/18 sky, what's the optimal way to work out? Max weight (till muscle
failure) with minimal time, medium weight with maximal time, or
somewhere in between? And what's the best recovery period?
\_ max weight 3x per week. recovery/stairmaster for the rest
of the time.
\_ I've tried a million different workouts and apart from
the really stupid 2 hour work outs I did in high school,
it doesn't make that much difference. The most important
thing to do is eat right, sleep right, minimize stress,
and make sure you work out with enough weight to challenge
your muscles. In the 4 months I was following this advice
I got to benching sets of 6 at 320 lbs. Of course now that
I have a life I'm nowhere near that strong. -emin
\_ I've found the best way to work out is *variety*. Take bench press
for instance. One week, just do 3 sets of 10-12 at the same weight.
Next week, try incline presses and/or decline presses. Another week,
do 3-4 sets, increasing 10 pounds per set, to exhaustion. Your
muscles are highly efficient at adjusting to the same routine, so
you have to constantly surprise them with a different routine.
\_ why are you asking sky? Shouldn't you be asking ax?
http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ax
\_ this gets more to the point:
http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ax/Superman.jpg
\_ I'm not sky, but I can confirm that no more than 3X a week for
weights is a good rule of thumb. The secret to your muscle endurance
and agility also involves cardiovascular activities. Stairmasters,
treadmills, escalators, etc., so you want to make sure you balance
your weight-lifting with such exercises. Also watch your diet too;
and your day-to-day posture. (no slouching when you sit coding 8-10
hours a day) And a touch of positive mental attitude to get your
arse to the gym religiously. For more info, check out
http://www.menshealth.com Plenty of good make-sense tips on variety
of workout you'd ever need. - jthoms
\_ Is it 3X a week on the same muscle group or 3X a week overall?
I'm confused because I also heard that the best is to have a
5-day cycle, where you work on one separate muscle group on each
of the first four days and then rest on the fifth day.
\_ It depends on your purpose. (btw, this was covered on motd
a few months ago, if you want to see the archive). Get big
on a certain muscle groups (chest, shoulder or arm), focus
on each group each time you work out. You're less likely to
tear a muscle if you pace yourself though. If you just want
to get toned, or have limited time to spend at the gym, do
comprehensive workout that works different muscle groups.
You may alternate chest, then butts, then shoulder, then
upper back, etc. to prevent fatigue. - jthoms |

\_ Yes! Excellent! *Now* young troll, you have walked across the

\_ thanks, dad. now i must seek revenge against the evil red trolls.
\_ Yeah. Millions of potential murders. You horrible mocking
unbeliever, you! Uhm, Die now or something.
\_ sperm does not have the full genetic code to make a unique
human being.
\_ So is masturbation a half murder? Potential murder? Maybe an
attempted murder?
\_ think boolean operation. sperm by itself or an egg by itself
does not activate human life threshold function. 0 or 1.
\_ okay, what if I take a bunch of sperm and eggs, and mix
them around in a solution so that I get a thousand little
2-cell fetuses, and then flush it down the toilet. did
i just kill thousands of people?
\_ so when does human life start for you?
\_ so why do you only answer with another question?
\_ answering without proper context would not be
a good idea. A larger view of things would be better.
So when does human life start in your view?
\_ what does my opinion have to do with yours?
\_ the question to resolve is when life
starts. I want to get the other point of view
too to be able to properly contrast the two.
\_ i asked whether the sperm egg thing would
be killing, not for a compare/contrast.
\_ We're finally taking our nation back!!! -NRA supporter
\_ Uh, you're mixing your politics up. The NRA has nothing to do
with abortion.
\_ When sperm is outlawed, only outlaws will have sperm.
\_ i have more sperm than i need, but not as much as i want.
\_ if sperm is "potential people" then I practice genocide on a
daily basis
\_ sperm and fetus are completely different things...
\_ they are people, human, but are they US citizens?
\_ Probably not, since they are not (yet) born in the US.
pills", on the other hand, kill fertilized eggs. E.g. RU401.
\_ Interesting point. Its is not clear that the "equal
protection" clause would apply to unborn children.
But it is still murder, since killing a non-citizen
is the same as killing a citizen.
\_ why do you care if some fetus is aborted? i can
see why the mother cares, but why should you?
it's none of your damn business. what justification
do you have for considering a fetus a person?
the bible certainly doesn't. a fetus doesn't
breathe air. it is physically integrated into the
mom's body, sharing her bloodstream. damned if
the government has jurisdiction over the inside
of someone's body. A uterus is not US territory.
\_ I'm pro-choice, however, I do care if other people are
killing other third parties I don't know. Your logic
doesn't follow cleanly on that point.
\_ why should you care about Jane Doe or John Doe
being murdered elsewhere?
\_ because they're human beings.
\_ so are those in the womb. When does human life
start relative to conception? 9 months?
12 months? when?
\_ Life begins at birth, however, you're not a
real person until around age 8 or so (it varies)
at which point you are capable of feeling for
others. Once you can feel for others, you
become human and not just some animal on two
legs. Yes, this logically leads to post-natal
abortions. And why not?
\_ 8 years? Yes! If my 5 year old kid is
bratty, I have a right to kill him/her!
That would be so cool!
\_ a person's life begins when they're *born*.
duh. that's the standard by which society
has always judged these things. that's
why we celebrate birthdays, not conceptiondays.
why do you have to try to use your limited
medical knowledge to complicate things? what's
wrong with the obvious definition?
do you want us to start putting fetal tissue
in graves, and have church gatherings for it,
and put who knows what on the headstone?
\_ so you would support killing a "baby"
20 seconds before it is to be born
(such as 1 second before 9 months)?
\_ irrelevant. i don't *support*
killing anything, fetuses included.
if a woman goes into contractions,
and then kills the baby, jeez
you're reaching. but if there's a
line to be drawn it should be
sensible, like third trimester.
\_ what's the point in protecting
fetuses if it isn't human life
and human life begins at a birthday?
How dare you infringe on the rights
of women who just so happen to have
a bunch of cells in them. There
is no point protecting those cells.
\_ just consider this thought experiment. we have the ability
to produce test tube babies. so imagine a timed apparatus
containing egg and sperm, set to begin the conception at
12 midnight. then the janitor knocks it over. is that murder?
if not, why not? a fetus is a bunch of cells that will grow
into a baby. so is that egg and sperm, in that apparatus.
now replace that apparatus with a guy and girl. oh shit,
by not fucking each other they're murdering a potential baby!
\_ I believe this is called a "slippery slope argument" or
"argument from the heap", but I don't remember which. It's
a common fallacy. Basically you are saying the gov't
arbitrarily drew a sharp line dividing A and B. However,
A is to B as B is to C and B is to C as C is to D. Therefore
since A is illegal and that is pretty much the same as D,
then D should be illegal. Since making D illegal would be
absurd you conclude that making A illegal is also absurd.
Killing a person is illegal so since smart animals are similiar
to people killing them should be illegal too. Also since
dumb animals are similiar to smart animals, killing them
should be illegal. Insects are basically dumb animals
so killing insects should be illegal. But making the
killing of insects illegal is absurd so making murder
illegal is also absurd. By the way, I'm not pro-life,
I'm just pointing out that your argument is flawed. -emin
\_ i disagree. because there is a huge difference between
a seperate living organism (baby) and the organic parts
inside a mother that _can_ produce a baby.
\_ emin, i know the answer to this point and it's not one
that should be discussed right now, because we need to
talk about other things. -lotfi zadeh.
\_ That makes me very curious. What is the answer?
\_ Hah, hah, very funny, really. I didn't know other
sodans were at Zadeh's talk on Tuesday. -emin
\_ i was there, wasn't it? -lotfi zadeh.
\_ what's the definition of a fetus? 4 weeks after conception?
\_ okay, what if I take a bunch of sperm and eggs, and mix
them around in a solution so that I get a thousand little
2-cell fetuses, and then flush it down the toilet. did
i just kill thousands of people?
2 weeks after embryo?
\_ defined as ``a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage
of development, who is carried in the womb''
\_ so will this make using oral birth control illegal, since
those are fertilized eggs being flushed away?
\_ The common female birth control pills don't kill fertilized
eggs. They prevent eggs from being produced. "Morning-after
pills", on the other hand, kill fertilized eggs. E.g. RU-486.
\_ Bzzt. Wrong. on both counts. birth control pills
prevent fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterine
wall. RU486 causes the uterine wall to slough away,
thereby ending the pregnancy. Get a fucking clue.
\_ Actually, it looks like we both are right about the
common pills. Plus they also prevent eggs from being
fertilized. See
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/bc/YOU_AND_PILL.HTM#Basics
\_ I think it's not the government's business. I support the
mom-is-god until baby is given birth position. The bond
between mom and fetus is unique, and mom has to take all
responsibilities for it.
\_ i fully agree. an unborn fetus is not a person. it is not a
citizen of any country. hence, if the mother kills her own
fetus it's nobody else's business. if someone else kills it
or damages it against her will, that's another matter, but
we're protecting the mother's rights and not the damn fetus.
\_ Mom is not always god, because not all moms are good. Consider
moms that want to kill thier kids. Bad mothers. Murders.
\_ I agree, but God has given mom and unborn kid a unique bond,
and has given mom the full responsibility (including guilt)
for the unborn kid. Attempts for the clumsy government to
intervene will only backfire and make things worse.
\_ not all gods are good either. so?
\_ let us take a baby inside the womb about to be born. Lets take
it partially out. Lets kill it. Legal in the U.S. What's the
difference between a baby halfway out of the womb and a baby
outside the womb in terms of being "human", or having the act
be "legal".
\_ what if the woman miscarries the fetus? should woman be charged
with involuntary manslaughter?
\_ No, miscarriage is not the same a murder (or what you refer
to as abortion). A induced miscarriage would be murder though.
\_ You missed his/her point. If I accidentally ran someone down
with my car, killing him, I'm charged with involuntary
manslaughter, even though I clearly didn't mean to hit the
person. The poster is trying to stretch that to miscarriage
\_ it's not a stretch. what if the mom crashes her car and
the resulting injury causes a miscarriage? hmmmm?
\_ Well, I didn't use the word "stretch" in that I
disagreed with him (I'm undecided actually). But it
is a valid question, imho.
\_ the idea is "intent" or negligence.
\_ What if a pregnant woman goes to see a movie rated NC17?
Since her fetus is a "human being", wouldn't she be
violating some rules about bringing children there?
Can a pregnant woman be sued for child abuse if she
smokes or drinks (good Republican values) while
pregnant, since the House republicans are calling
the fetus a human being? |

she would not be allowed to participate in dancesafe.
First off, he criticizes me for doing crystal, but
he did some before the 60 minutes interview because
it he feels it makes him more talkative and personable.
But he was also hurt because she had always put DS first
in her life and never had much of a life outside of
work until she met me. And he has a crush on her.
Then there are a whole other host of reasons I wont go

Bill Gates is Scott McNealy's Arch-Enemy, however
Bill Gates' arch-enemy is not SM, but Janet Reno
\_ Wow, you're all idiots. This was a joke.
\_ What's your issue with Sferios? The cop seems like more of a

\_ Wants to take away your drugs and put your dumb ass in jail?
\_ Drugs are bad, mmkay, don't do drugs. Do you think this
actually works? All my friends went through drug scare
education, and that didn't stop any of them from
getting into some serious shit. If they were taught
something sane, like abstaining from drugs is best, but, if
you're going to use, use responsibly, they would have been
saved from a world of grief. And if you think this is just
about drugs, it isn't. The biggest substance problems I've
seen are associated with alcohol, and hey, that's legal, so
it must be okay. Please. Drug scare education is insane
because there is no recourse when it fails, and it almost
always does. Locking people up doesn't work. Methods like
harm reduction that teach responsible use are far more
effective. Want living proof, look at sex-ed programs that
teach only abstinence versus programs that encourage
abstinence, but also teach about safer-sex. The bone-headed
communities that teach abstinence-only consistently have
higher rates of teen pregnancy and stds. -dans
\_ Don't put words in my mouth. I simply think you're a
whiney "make my drugs legal" cry baby.
\_ Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything
about legalization. I did say something about drug
scare education being about as intelligent as you
are. I simply think you're brainwashed reactionary.
-dans
\_ Which was a response to me saying your stupid
druggy ass belongs in jail, not in school.
\_ He is willing to jepoardize the collectives that supported him
in his quest to spread harm reduction. Plus he had a big
crush on my girlfriend and made her resign for not breaking
up with me. And he talks a lot of shit behind peoples backs
and lies and twists their words around as he sees fit. -sky
\_ Made her resign? Over you? Don't be ridiculous.
\_ She was the first dancesafe volunteer and one of
only a handful of salaried DS employees. Yes,
she had to resign for not breaking up with me.
He has issues, trust me. -sky
\_ I still question "had to resign". Or else what?
\_ Good answer. So, in your opinion, does that completely
taint DanceSafe, or is it still a worthwhile organization
to work with? -dans
\_ Well, he is the national director...There is no longer
a Bay Area chapter...it was disbanded after my gf left.
If you want to help spread harm reduction nationally,
then it is definately a worthwhile organization to
work with. If you would rather help practice and
spread harm reduction in the bay area, my gf is
organizing a group that will continue to do was the
ds bay area chapter did...distribute harm reduction
literature, answer questions, and do pill testing at
local raves and you might prefer working with her.
I have a big mouth...I really shouldn't talk shit
about him like this. Email me if you want to talk
about it more... -sky
\_ So you're an active supporter of kids doing only
moderate amounts of damage to themselves?
\_ Emanuel rocks. The war on drugs is expensive and completely
ineffective; harm reduction is the only rational answer.
There are a number of other groups involved with it, which 60
minutes choose not to mention (despite interviewing them). -kurtz
\_ I am all for harm reduction. But emanuel is willing to fuck
over the people who supported him (im not talking about me)
in order to achieve those goals. He is also a hypocritical,
delusional, arrogant, closed minded, meglomaniacal bastard.
But yeah, they didnt include their interview with Shulgin,
the national police consultant on dance drugs that supports
dancesafe and pill testing, or the Dutch Nat. drug prosecutor
supporting pill testing. And the dude that possibly took
5 pills and died most likely had DXM. Plus their was no
evidence given on ecstasy causing brain damage...All that
was shown was that overheating causes brain damage. Over-
heating is an effect of too much dancing/notenough water.
Even then, personally I think its not the E that causes
compulsive dancing (whatever that may be) but rather
speed that the E is mixed with. When I am rolling on
good MDMA, I can barely stand up, much less dance.
-sky
\_ You're just fucking whacked.
\_ You don't the half of it -sky
\_ Don't want to, either.
\_ update: emanuel is no longer my arch-nemisis. He asked my gf
back as ba director and blames switching from paxil to another
anti-depresant causing his OCD to flare up. -sky
\_ MDMA has been shown to cause permanent physical changes to
brain matter. (unlike many other drugs out there) Is this
damage? Well, it's not what nature intended, and I would
find it hard to believe that these changes would be for the
better. Simply because the piece didn't cite the evidence
doesn't mean it isn't there.
\_ The evidence is unclear with regards to normal usage
patterns -- the evidence for damage which I've seen used
either large or repeated doses. 60 minutes claimed
there's evidence that suggests permenant (discernable)
differences after a single dose, which contradicts the
studies which i've seen.
In addition, there is significant evidence that using
SRIs (prozac, zoloft, etc) 3-6 hours after dosing
can prevent damage. I've also read one study
\_ Heh, do you use SRIs when you take MDMA? Have
you ever seen people take SRIs after taking
MDMA? What is the optimum time frame vs. dosage
to take to avoid damage? This is all way to
experimental and the consequences too dire for
the average Joe messed up enough to actually
be in the drug scene to be playing with.
\_ I try to take prozac within 6 hours of dropping.
20 milligrams is best for most ppl. It depends
on how much u dropped and how regularly you do
mdma. --sky
\_ I have seen people using SRIs after using
MDMA. I wouldn't (and don't) say that
this makes it *safe* -- but I do believe,
based on the current evidence, that it is
likely to make it safer. Given that the
people I talk with about this are already
using MDMA on a regular basis, I don't
see any harm which can come from suggesting
that they try measures which appear --
based on current scientific evidence --
to be helpful.
The useful timeframe is 3-6 hours after
dosing. In animal studies, this prevents
all toxicity.
So far, there is little evidence of dire
consequences in terms of behavior or other
areas. New studies may change that, though;
I have seen individual case histories
where extremely high doses may have been
related to *serious* problems. I always
tell people not to do high doses.
indicating that only one of the two isomers is the one
responsible for the neurotoxicity -- I don't think
it's easy or cheap to produce just one isomer, but it
might be possible given sufficient economic incentive.
Anyway, these suggest that if MDMA were legal, it
\_ Uh, hello logic? How does this suggest anything
of the sort?
\_ Simple. Chemically it seems that it may be
possible to have the high without
neurotoxicity. If it were legal, I think
there'd be quite an incentive to provide
it in form which wouldn't be neurotoxic.
Right now, there isn't.
might well be possible to make it much less harmful
(beyond the simple measure of making sure it isn't
mixed w/ DXM, etc.).
MDMA may well be harmful even with low and infrequent
doses -- it is certainly possible, and caution is in
order -- but alarmism is no better than blindly
ignoring evidence of danger.
I have some references available, btw -- I believe in
providing information about this, since there are real
dangers which users should be made aware of. I think
that providing false information will make users ignore
the very real dangers. -- kurtz
\_ What false information are you referring to here?
Some studies have shown neurological changes
after a single dose. Perhaps these studies were
flawed, but who knows? The point is that MDMA
\_ Reference, please? I'd like to see the study
which demonstrates long term neurological
changes after a single dose. I can
find you a study which shows no observable
differences whatsoever after a single dose.
\_ OK I'll call your bluff. Can you please
show me that study that shows no observable
differences after a single dose. - tpc
is a neurotoxin and that message is not out there.
People are making irreversible changes to their
brains and they can't know what the consequences
will be. (I believe studies are showing no
recovery in the affected tissue 7 years out
at this point)
\_ What studies are you referring to? That a TV
news magazine airs a soundbyte saying that
"Studies have shown that a single does of
MDMA can cause brain damage" is pretty weak
proof. Show me the study(ies).
\_ A study by George Ricuarte of John Hopkins
found that in lab rats and 2 human subjects
that MDMA can cause long term damage to the
terminals of seratonin-releasing nerves.
Keeping the rats body temps down protected
them from the neurotoxicity. Some ppl think
that in the presence of MDMA, the super oxide
and hydroxy radicals combine with extra
seratonin and when this molecule is neurotoxic
when reabsorbed into the cell. Heat speeds up
this reaction. SRI's are absorbed into the
cells instead of these molecules which is one
explanation why SRIs help prevent nerve
damage. --sky
\_ There was a Navy study that proved
using the Dvorak keyboard users could
see significantly more productivity. - tpc
\_ Hence, the need to see the study. If
you actually read the Dvorak studies,
it's pretty clear that a) they used
flawed methodology, and b) The dude
conducting the study had a vested
interest in it going the way it did.
\_ The message is definitely out there -- the
media always refers ecstacy it as a drug
associated with potentially serious
neurotoxicity. But the way it's being presented
is ineffective -- IMO because it is not a
balanced treatment. (How could it be, given
that it's intended as a scare tactic?)
\_ I don't really care if users ignore the real
dangers. Sometimes dead is better. A state
sponsored cremation and dumping is cheaper for
society than having these wastoids walking around.
\_ there was a man in Germany who was really Austrian
who was trying to do what you were saying.
\_ MDMA is closely related to methamphetamines (chemically
speaking, MDMA can be derived from some methamphetamines,
iirc) -- it causes the release of two of the same
neurotransmitters (dopamine and norepinephrine), so
it will have some of the same effects.
\_ MDMA causes the release of seratonin and
dopamine. The level of dopamine released is
insignificant in comparison to the amount
released by methamphetamine. Meth also causes
an increase in endorphin (adrenalin/
norepinephrine) production, which doesn't occur
with MDMA. Dopamine causes the euphoric feeling
associated with crystal, while endorphin
accounts for the increased level of energy.
--sky
\_ Um, you've got dopamine and endorphins
mixed up (endorphins cause euphoria,
dopamine causes 'energy', ie. it is a
stimulant). I don't know about the
relative amounts, but the papers I've
read suggest they're not insignificant.
Btw -- MDMA does also cause the release of
norepinephrine. But speed doesn't trigger
the release of endorphins -- heroin does.

is more likely than similar health problems from
the pill. The figures are available from

Although Tang is _not_ the most highly reputed medical center,
it has a fairly good women's clinic. In order to get a prescription
for the Pill, you need to be examined by a medical professional
who can then talk with you and decide on the best birth
control pill for your body (yes, there are several different
kinds of birth control pills out there). Make an appt
at Tang Center, Planned Parenthood, or your ob/gyn. --christine
