    Mercury in High Fructose Corn Syrup

    Isn't it only cheaper because of corn subsidies? If not, why is HFCS far less prevalent in other countries, even Mexico where HFCS would be cheap to import? Yeah it's almost exclusively because of our horrendous subsidies and the equally putrid farm bill.

    Lawyer, Law School, BigLaw FAQ

    Anyone here do work in constitutional law? That's my passion, my interest. Has been ever since I took two semesters of conlaw as an undergrad. The "prof" wasn't a prof at all, but a lecturer with a JD who formerly worked for BigLaw in St. Louis. She told us from day one she would be teaching...

    The 2008 NCAA Tournament

    Mass. Street was crazy enough tonight, I can't imagine what this city will be like if we win it all. I've been looking forward to this matchup with Roy ever since I came here, but if we play like we did tonight against UNC, we won't even have a shot at that championship. Kudos to Sasha for...

    Adderall?

    The one time I took it, I wrote a paper; finished the entire week's worth of homework; cleaned the apartment; paid the bills; created an Excel spreadsheet to track the bills, their due dates, monthly averages, projected annual expense, and cost savings vs. my previous apartment; and read half a...

    The smell of, incense

    I recently found some Nag Champa scented candles at a local hippie store, and while I don't think they really smell much like Nag, they do smell delicious. More classy than incense, less pothead-coverup smell.

    (Free) DVD Ripping Software??

    AnyDVD (not free, but easily found at...certain...sites) plus DVD Shrink is a killer combination. AnyDVD strips the DVD encryption, which then allows you to use DVD Shrink without any problems. Have a 100% success rate, even with the most recently released DVDs.

    How To Heal Lips

    Even with the best chapstick that exists, you're still probably going to be dogged by chapped/cracked/bleeding lips, particularly as winter arrives. That's the nature of the beast when you're dealing with Accutane. It makes you life a living hell while you're on it, but the payoff of being...

    Music for altered states.

    From the moment I opened this thread I was wondering how long it would be before one of us old guys mentioned Pink Floyd. It had a pseudo-Godwin's Law inevitability. Personally -- based on the second-hand reports I've heard about the experience of being in one of those "altered states" -- I'd...

    Boxers vs. tidy whitey

    Boxer briefs = good Trunk style = better if you have the physique to rock them.

    Preventing Armpit Stains?

    hey mattjames, whats the name of the prescription-strength antiperspirant that you use? thanks. If you're in the US, the product will be called Certain-Dri. Should be available at most drugstores and/or supermarkets.

    Condoms that don't suck?

    Are there any latex condoms that don't have that horrible latex smell? Ugh. Sadly that's going to be present with basically any latex item you use. If you really can't stand the smell, you might give polyurethane condoms a try (Trojan Supra, mentioned in a previous post, is the one that I know...

    Sandals—don't hate

    Flip flops are never to be worn in the city. It is of course acceptable if you're in the beach or pool. I was at the Grove here in L.A. and half the people were wearing flip flops. Tacky, tacky.... They are called 'trash' shoes in Europe. With all due respect, I have experienced a summer in...

    Sandals—don't hate

    When it's 105 with a heat index of 115-120 in the middle of the summer here, I have to seriously question the sanity of anyone not wearing flip-flop type footwear, much less *gasp* pants/denim. My summer wear is usually the wonderfully frattastic cargo shorts + t-shirt/polo + flip-flops...

    where can you get Brylcreem from in the US?

    I've seen it in every Walgreens store that I've been to, so I would definitely recommend checking there.
