- I wonder if there's extra science about the way your iris deals with the different lighting conditions. -- nm - Max Aug 11, 06:38
- Correct in that it's always bad, but the dimming of visible light makes people want to look longer which increases the exposure to damaging UV light. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 06:35

- They have it here in CO. Extra lane, pay per major exit you pass that you're in that lane (basically) --company pays for all upkeep of highway. -- nm - Flavorize Aug 11, 06:32 1
  - Except this would cover all miles driven, not just on toll roads. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 06:33
- that would really suck -- nm - decline Aug 11, 06:22 2

    - Taxes, BAD! -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 06:30 7
      - To my knowledge, a larger portion of the anti-VMT tax isn't about taxes, it's Big Brother tracking you. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 06:36 6
        
        it psychologically easier to pay a little amount of tax everytime you fill up instead of a big lump to renew your car - Reagen Aug 11, 06:39 4
        
        True. Also easier to budget month to month vs annual. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 06:41 3
        
        My bank lets me create multiple separate savings accounts under one umbrella so I've taken to create a bunch for recurring annual things. -- nm* - Reagen Aug 11, 06:44 2
        
        Which is great, if you have the cash flow to be able to save on a regular basis. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 06:53
        
        For something you can be relatively confident of the amount, that would work well. - Strongbad Aug 11, 06:48
        
        And there's that. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 06:37
  - The idea is growing on me. Still don't think it should replace the gas tax entirely though. - znufrii Aug 11, 06:27

Celebrity chef Michael Smith came out in support of genetically-modified food at a consultation about Canada's Food Policy. -- (link) - Beaker Aug 11, 06:04 15
- Would you rather have your food sprayed with poison to kill bugs who eat it, or modifiy the food so the bugs won't eat it to begin with - Beaker Aug 11, 06:05 14
  - On a personal level - the food is different, my body is reacting differently to something - is it related? who knows. - Epiphany Aug 11, 06:39
  - Neither if both are going to cause health issues. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 06:07 10
    - I've never heard of a legitimate study saying GMOs do... -- nm* - Beaker Aug 11, 06:07 9
      - Celebrities tell me that they're bad, so I believe them. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 06:11
      - I haven't either but have we been doing it long enough to know there are no adverse health effects from eating them? - Krusty Aug 11, 06:09 6
        
        I have difficulty imagining what those effects could even be - Reagen Aug 11, 06:12 5
        
        You can have an issue where they use a gene from say a nut in something that isn't a nut that will cause an allergic reaction -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 11, 06:20 3
        
        Scientists are overwhelmingly in favour of GMOs, yet there is still major public distrust - Guigue Aug 11, 06:32
        
        I mean declare those things, but it's... food. -- (edited) - Reagen Aug 11, 06:31 1
        
        I used that example because it happened and after testing the food was kept from the market. - Krusty Aug 11, 06:38
