Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I didn't even know Conan O'Brian is filming in Chicago this week.
I need to remember that Conan's going to be launching stuff over the State Street bridge every day this week, because it's right by my office and I may need to pad some detour time if I need to get someplace.
I'm running around asking people for citations now. It's cheering me up.
Whenever I try that, they come back at me with, "Well, why don't YOU give me citations that prove I'm wrong?"
No, asshole, YOU were the one who made the crazy incorrect assertion, and the burden of proof is on the one doing the crazy incorrect asserting. And then I usually want to punch them in the neck.
Seriously, you can't just say "sugar used to be a prescription-controlled substance" and use "I googled it and found references easily" as your proof.

Oh, New York.
Well, the person *did* provide citations.
Of sugar being distributed in apothecaries because it had later-disproved medicinal qualities.
Uh? Your point was that it was dangerous so it was a controlled substance. YOUR WORDS SAID THAT. Your links do not.
(They gave another link that proves (PROVES) a diet of only sugar and water was unhealthy--so if I need a real live example of a straw man, I know where to find it now)
I can't argue against you if you don't even try to have a point.

Yup, pretty much where I am. But it was the paleo diet article comments, so it was guaranteed to have people with...beliefs posting.
Timelies all!
Organizing the liquid nitrogen freezer for our lab(which involves much pulling up of freezer racks from a chest-high freezer) is not doing much to help with my shoulder/upper back pain. Still, it must be done...
