The Flood / Re: Cannabis extract has dramatic effect on brain cancer
« on: November 15, 2014, 09:29:26 PM »

I don't care if marijuana gave me ebola, I'd still smoke it

lol

If only the smoke part of the smoking didn't hurt your lungs. Either way it's silly marijuana is illegal.

Don't smoke it, never will. But I don't get why there is all this science about its benefits, yet people still treat it like the plague.

The Flood / Cannabis extract has dramatic effect on brain cancer

Experts have shown that when certain parts of cannabis are used to treat cancer tumours alongside radio therapy treatment the growths can virtually disappear.

The new research by specialists at St George's, University of London, studied the treatment of brain cancer tumours in the laboratory and discovered that the most effective treatment was to combine active chemical components of the cannabis plant which are called cannabinoids.
Two of these called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) were tested as part of the research into brain cancer which is particularly difficult to treat and claims the lives of about 5,200 each year. It also has a particularly poor prognosis as the rate of survival after five years of patients' diagnosis is around 10%.

Cannabinoids are the active chemicals in cannabis and are also known more specifically as phytocannabinoids. There are 85 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant.

The new research is the first to show a drastic effect when combining THC and CBD with irradiation. Tumours growing in the brains of mice were drastically slowed down when THC/CBD was used with irradiation.
Dr Wai Liu, Senior Research Fellow and lead researcher on the project, said: "The results are extremely exciting. The tumours were treated in a variety of ways, either with no treatment, the cannabinoids alone, and irradiation alone or with both the cannabinoids and irradiation at the same time.

"Those treated with both irradiation and the cannabinoids saw the most beneficial results and a drastic reduction in size. In some cases, the tumours effectively disappeared in the animals. This augurs well for further research in humans in the future. At the moment this is a mostly fatal disease.
"The benefits of the cannabis plant elements were known before but the drastic reduction of brain cancers if used with irradiation is something new and may well prove promising for patients who are in gravely serious situations with such cancers in the future."

The research team are discussing the possibility of combining cannabinoids with irradiation in a human clinical trial.
The research has been published in the Molecular Cancer Therapeutics journal.
Cannabinoids are the active chemicals in cannabis and are also known more specifically as phytocannabinoids. There are 85 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. The primary psychoactive component of cannabis is called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Video games aren't a sport, marching band is debatable.
care to elaborate?

I'd say it's in the same category as Cheerleading. Requires physical endurance, coordination, and teamwork. Both compete in events.

It would be fantastic if all that hard work could be transferred but I doubt it. I hope someone makes ghostbusters on ghost town soon...and fat kid.


Also termites, janga, ice cream man, duck hunt, halo, White House, that one survive map where fat kid chases you into a house...

I think they didn't allow it because of the modded maps.

I was unaware that people eating batteries was a problem that needed to be solved.
Even if it wasn't, thanks to science it never will be!

...Question is, why would they bother? I knew not to swallow batteries when I was three. If somebody dies from it, that's natural selection weeding out the stupid.

My sister swallowed a battery :O

Kids will be kids. I'm sure the coating is useful for other science stuff too. Plus it saves 4000 lives in the long run.

A new special coating developed by a team of researchers prevents electrical current from damaging the digestive tract after accidental battery ingestion.

Every year, nearly 4,000 children go to emergency rooms after swallowing button batteries — the flat, round batteries that power toys, hearing aids, calculators, and many other devices. Ingesting these batteries has severe consequences, including burns that permanently damage the esophagus, tears in the digestive tract, and in some cases, even death.

To help prevent such injuries, researchers at MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital have devised a new way to coat batteries with a special material that prevents them from conducting electricity after being swallowed. In animal tests, they found that such batteries did not damage the gastrointestinal (GI) tract at all.

Still, don't swallow batteries.

Gaming / Re: Why Sony doesn't allow gamertag changes
« on: November 14, 2014, 07:08:15 PM »


People are taking this out of context. It's because Sony can't track anyone other than by their name. Your Xbox live name is linked to an ID number. You can change your name but you're still tied to that ID Number. Sony didn't think to implement this so if you're a hacker and get reported, then change your name Sony wouldn't be able to track you.

That's some terrible foresight by Sony
20/20 hindsight. 2006 was a long time ago tech wise. I'm sure there a lot of silly mistakes being made right now that will affect future consoles. Have to remember PSN wasn't a paid service like Xbox Live was for all those years. They're still playing catch up in some areas.

True they have stepped up their service, if things go well gamers can only expect services to get better.
