Reply to Study finds that poor sleep quality increases aggression, possibly by affecting emotional cognition by chrisdh79
Anecdotally slept like crap last night. Am extremely irritable at the moment. Glad to be home by myself because I'm miserable company.
Edited to add: going to do the only thing that helps (besides Ibuprofen) and take a nap.

Very sad story. What was he hauling? What was in the wagon?

Reply to Will my kids inherit the genetic mutations that I aquire during my lifetime? by RedditScoutBoy
Edited: It seems I am mistaken.
Teratogens affect the developing fetus and not the germ cells themselves. The changes that teratogens make while awful are not heritable (will not be passed down).
In my defense, I was told the definition while working in a chem lab by a smarter colleague. I'd love to strike through my reply, but I don't know how.
Well it depends. Certain chemicals are labelled carcinogenic, which are scary. Others are labelled teratogenic. Those ones are particularly scary because they're know to alter your germ cells. Carcinogenic means it will cause mutations that possibly lead to cancer.
Teratogenic means the chemical can make changes to your egg or sperm cells. That will affect your children.

Rickets is not (just?) Calcium deficiency. It's vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin. In some northern countries the sun isn't strong enough for your body to make vitamin D all year round.
That's why commercially available milk tends to have vitamin D added to it.

At the local veterinary college, the jobs with animals all require rabies vaccination.

I think that's the other way around. That's one handsome man. Looks kind of like Matthew Broderick.

He's not moral (obviously) and clearly doesn't think of himself as the rapist that he is.
