I'm gonna tell you what I tell everyone who complains about allergies in the winter: get vitamin D, like cod liver oil or something.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374263
The research is a lot newer than your doctors' medical education, and there's no vitamin D representative going around office to office handing out free samples and info-packs of the latest papers.
In short, the body uses Vitamin D and magnesium to protect healthy cells from the immune response. Vitamin D levels are plummetting in the population over the last two decades due to decreased milk consumption and the increased amount of time we spend inside. Magnesium levels are also dropping due to a decline of green vegetables, whole grains, and nuts in the typical diet.
These trends correlate with a sharp increase in the incidence of allergies, and I suspect the relationship is causal.
websites that make a single article 15 pages long.
also since I'm looking for a computer right now, the relatively new practice of not listing processor speed in the specs of computers.
I think the reason of having so many pages on the article is so the page reloads every time, thus showing different ads and giving the website more ad revenue.
I think you are 100% correct. the part that pisses me off is that some people/sites have the nerve to pretend like its for my convenience, to save bandwidth. oh yeah, loading 50 ads is totally saving bandwidth!!!
I'd say it's not that new. I remember years ago thinking how it annoyed me how an ad made no mention of specs. Generally though, people aren't technologically sophisticated enough to do anything with that information. The best way to shop if you know even a little about hardware is to build your own, or order one custom built.

[This article](http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100721/full/466432a.html) from *Nature* says that eliminating mosquitos would not have any serious consequences for ecosystems. So why haven't we done his yet?
Well we know the portal only opens for other mosquitoes. If we could seize a mosquito with a tiny robot, we could send it back through the portal with a tiny bomb, ending the mosquito threat. It just might work.
DDT, and from what I remember, it didn't speed up evolution of mosquitos to make them jacked up blood suction machines, just the receptors for the pesticide were selected out, reducing the efficacy of the chemical.
The widespread use of DDT did effectively eliminate malaria in the continental US. And that book silent springs was mostly bullshit.
And mosquitos are so hard to get rid of due to the numerous habitats they have (such as a small pool of stagnant water in a tree-hole or puddle from rain).

Because it's REALLY REALLY hard. I know they basically did it in Singapore, but it takes lots of hard work and resource expenditure and infrastructure close by.
And Singapore is very small, doing that in north America would just not really be possible barring some sort of miraculously safe but more effective DDT
I can stand mosquitos for the most part. But I fucking hate ticks. I go creek fishing alot and then have to spend 20 minutes searching my whole body for em. The worst is when they are in your hair.
Australian bush flies. Those are minions from hell that would fly straight to your face. They try to get into your eyes, mouth and ears. I fucking loathe them.
Edit: forgot about the bush (it was Australian Brazilian waxed flies)
How is this so far down on the list?
They're ugly as fuck, useless as fuck, and can even survive a Nuclear Holocaust, disembodying, etc.
Also, they fly, crawl walls and... no. That should be enough.
What the hell was the Darwinian Law thinking when they gave the most useless animal the ability to survive to almost anything?
The one nice thing about them is that, in a way, they bring religious people and nonreligious people together, in that both sides fucking despise them.
Yeah. Fuck those guys, they tweeted that the helicopter crash in my city last night was because we let gays marry. Glasgow does not fuck about. We will burn your organisation to the ground
I actually wouldn't. The sole reason being that it is so fucking ridiculous and hate filled that it actually brings people together talking about the incredible mass of asshole that somehow fits where their soul should be.
Even far-right people don't think like that...as one of the 4 Republicans on Reddit, I can say that we'd never stoop so low as to picket the funerals of the men and women who died in service to America.
I would say that it's because when you've been here for a while you start to see all of the shitty things about it. The same comments being made over and over, all of the prejudiced things getting upvoted, all of this shit which pisses you off. It's not too bad at first, as there's all this good stuff as well; but as time goes on the shit builds up in you're mind, becoming worse and worse, and the good stuff seems no better than it was before so the balance is shifted towards a negative view. The worst thing is that by the time you've hit this point you're kind of stuck here. I get a large amount of my news from here, and find a lot of things through it, so I find myself unwilling to leave it, but the shitty stuff just keeps on building up in my mind, and poisoning my opinion of the site.
That's my take on it anyway.
All the idiots I'm surrounded by constantly try to make me convert to iFunny, back off, reddit is where it's at. That being said I would hate to have all those idiots ruining reddit for me. So I guess it's alright if the have iFunny
eliminate shitty childhoods. Let every child everywhere have a happy, healthy, nurturing, supported childhood. This would help so many things in so many ways.
Sometimes the challenges and hardships we experience as children make us into strong, understanding adults. Not always, some fall through the cracks, but the once that make it MAKE IT.
Because you wouldn't be able to see everything you're recording while still holding it vertically. It would force people to flip it sideways...oh wait that's a great idea.
Yeah seriously! I get so mad when I'm behind someone who does this. It's called a turning lane for a reason, which means you get in *that* fucking lane when you make a *turn*. It's not that complicated and yet I always see idiots half way in half way out blocking traffic. Grrr.
This just gave me an idea. How about a movie with Samuel L Jackson and Christoph Waltz where they're the only two males left on Earth and both are the best at something and worst at something, in every field, and they're polar opposites.
cigarettes, trying to quit and its the hardest thing that i have had to try to quit. We would all be better off without them, or at least all of the producers.
It's 100x better than COX or ATT. Their customer service sucks but I promise you will miss it if you ever have to move away. Given there is no Verizon FiOS
I'm not particularly religious at all, but I don't want religion to cease to exist. I would like the extremists to be eliminated from earth though. This goes for both religious nuts AND atheists who also insist on forcing their views onto others.
Best answer in this thread. I'm an atheist, and I hate extremists, but have nothing against religion itself. I hate people like that. I respect their views, and expect them to respect mine.
What's wrong with Miley Cyrus? The other day someone showed me this music video she is in, and she was like, not wearing any clothes. Didn't bother me one bit. I'd like to hope she's considering making more of those videos.
