    Vegans apparently. Have you ever eaten some? Manky stuff

    The paleo diet is pretty damn stupid though, in the same vein.

    If your TV has a Saorview tuner built in you need to spend about 40 bucks on a Saorview Ariel. If your TV has no built in Saorview tuner you need both a Saorview box Approx 100 bucks as well as the Ariel.

    The vast majority of houses already had an aerial in the attic or on the roof from receiving analog rte and this is just reused for saorview.

    I bought a TV with Saorview tuner, just plugged it into the normal ariel in the wall, got the channels.

    You will see an awful lot of houses have something like in the link below on their roof or in the attic. This is connect to a socket behind the tv and gives the saorview signal to the tv and previously gave the old analog signal to the tv.

    You Prob would pick them up on the old RTE2 Ariel alright if you had one. Some just get a set of rabbit ears and it works fine but that depends on the signal in your area.

    Records aimed at teenagers. They don't have to sound good because they'll most likely never be played. Just make sure there's a sticker on the cover saying 'specially pressed limited edition pink marble effect vinyl' or something. The record company could put a load of mp3s or copy a CD onto a record and they'll never know. Or if they do play them they'll think that's how records are meant to sound and say how much they love the sweet retro sound of their old school Katy Perry vinyls.

    I disagree with that - Bushmills 10 and many other versions of "holy water" is well worth the money. :D

    Psychiatric medication. Take a pill for that profound lack of meaning and direction in your life and you'll be dancing around the place in four weeks.

    Are you honestly saying all SSRIs are for stupid people?

    Homeopathy has already rightfully been battered to death here. Add acupuncture to that. Paying someone to stick needles in your body. Utterly moronic.

    most running shoes, overpriced gimmickry , a basic running shoe is fine , the only way you'll get faster is through appropriate training , not the shoe.

    Not quite. While being fat is a major factor in snoring and sleep apnea, it also affects quite the proportion of normal sized even skinny people. My own late father could have confused ships at sea with his snoring foghorn and he was skinny. More meat on a butcher's pencil skinny.

    I certainly wouldn't, I would say and IMHO of course that they are massively overprescribed, mostly by GP's often after the briefest of consultations. I have seen this time and time again with friends and family over the last decade. I see strong parallels between how antibiotics were doled out like Smarties in the past, again by doctors and where they weren't required. Time was every sniffle got you a script for one. We know better now(mostly), but I can see a similar trajectory for SSRI and their kind.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
