nmz787"It is thought that antioxidants can prevent damage to DNA from oxygen radicals. But, argues Watson, we want oxygen radicals in cancer cells because this can cause the cells to die. Taking antioxidants might be preventing cancer drugs from destroying cancer cells. Instead, he recommends patients combine anti-antioxidants with cancer drugs."12:34

nmz787". The main factor holding us back from overcoming most of metastatic cancer over the next decade may soon no longer be lack of knowledge but our world's increasing failure to intelligently direct its monetary might' towards more human-society-benefiting directions."12:35
nmz787"Watson also wants researchers to focus on a protein called Myc, which is believed to regulate the activity of 15% of our genes. Its activity is also linked to many kinds of cancer. Using RNAi methods, it's possible we could figure out a way to control Myc, and thus shut down pathways to cancer."12:36

jrayhawkwatson is an asshole, but he's quite right to make fun of vitamin c supplementation13:22

jrayhawkThe antioxidant deficiency research keeps inferring exists is a deficiency in glutathione. Vitamin C input requirements are very low if glutathione is available to do most of the antioxidant work, and to to recycle what little work Vitamin C is actually good for. Meanwhile, high doses of Vitamin C mostly stay degraded DHAA and cause all sorts of problems of their own.13:34
jrayhawkerr... to recycle what little amounts of Vitamin C actually do good work.13:35
jrayhawkstay degraded to DHAA13:35
jrayhawkscrew it, forming coherent thoughts is too hard for me right now13:35
jrayhawkVitamin C is way down towards the "impractical" end of the antioxidant totem pole.13:36

juri_have a http at the beginning of it?15:47
@kanzurethat means they are idiots15:47

abetuskkanzure, you have some experience with openscad?17:17
@kanzureyes :(17:17
abetuskIt's basically a way to go from parametric geometry to STL or DXF?17:18
@kanzuresort of.. it's pretty awful to be honest17:23
@kanzureyou might want to consider something more mature like brlcad17:23

abetuskI feel like I'm in a bad 80's "hacker" movie17:58
@kanzureopenscad is pretty bad in the scheme of things17:58
@kanzurethere's absolutely no reason for it to have a custom language17:58
@kanzureit didn't even have variables for the longest time17:58
abetuskit basically still doesn't.  It has the equivalent of defines17:59
@kanzurewhy would you want to use openscad though?17:59
@kanzurebrlcad does all of the same stuff and has way more file formats.17:59
abetuskI'm trying to get a toolchain down17:59
abetuskbut they're both byzantine17:59
@kanzurebrlcad is the king of toolchains17:59
@kanzureit's a collection of small tools making up a cad suite18:00
abetuskok, well, I'll give it a try18:00
abetuskbrlcad to gcode?18:30
@kanzurethere's probably a tool for that18:30
@kanzureb2gcode or something18:30
@kanzureask in #brlcad if you can't find it18:30
