To give you a time frame: In 2003, at a big German university, I still had lectures only using the blackboard or an overhead projector for Chemistry and Maths classes. In 2010, when I graduated with my MSc, I think they had mostly switched to PowerPoint

Also, what's "weird"?

@kenorb "5-HTP should work the same as SSRI, they both act on the serotonin pathway." that's a really bold assumption. Especially when saying that 5-HTP acts as an anti-obesity agent, as SSRIs are really well-known for leading to weight gain. Doesn't even matter - something leading to the same outcome as an SSRI does not make it one.

@kenorb 5-HTP is not an SSRI. It may have similar effects, I don't know, but it does not fall into the SSRI category.

@Lucky what @Pobrecita said. I have accidentally done the same thing on Biology.SE before

:28558979, yeah, of a lot of focus on the married (and kids) aspect, and no mention of anything but HIV

@Pobrecita also, nice to see someone new tackle the review queues!

@Pobrecita no harm done, just confusion. You also added the "sti" tag so it looked strange in the review queue. The question definitely looks better now than it did when it arrived :-)

@Pobrecita gah, I need to remember to ping

I think what happened was just that you submitted a second edit while I was hitting "approve and improve" and added the tags.

Okay I think we just edited at the same time

I am very confused by that last edit...

@Pobrecita why are you deleting the HIV tag from a question about transmission of HIV?

(than what the OP of that question is used to)

"use of candles for lighting" is probably a lot of exposure over a lifetime I guess. I'm also inclined to believe candles from Morocco might even have a different composition? @HDE226868

@HDE226868 thanks, I just tried my hand at protecting a question :-)

So, I'm new to the whole "protect a question" thing. Would it be a good idea to protect health.stackexchange.com/questions/3405/… four low quality answers (two deleted) from new users so far

@FrankyG for what's it worth, the recommendation from my rheumatologist is basically "hot, cold, whatever feels good at the moment" :-)

I find the whole idea that hep C is somehow seen as "manageable" and supposedly not that dangerous very strange. I always thought of it as bad and rather likely to lead to liver cirrhosis on its own

@JohnP :-D

Oh wow, being called a moron and a f*ing dumbass in one comment. Nice ;-)

@Susan welcome back? (just saw the diamond)

@JohnP huh, for some reason I was convinced you were a mod at Fitness.SE...

And of course he's written a new one already....

@michaelpri @JohnP my flags about the answers in comments are showing up as helpful, but the comments are still there: health.stackexchange.com/questions/4452/… any reason why you are letting them stand?

@michaelpri thanks! The question could probably also do with some deletions of unnecessary stuff, there's a lot of redundant and unrelated stuff in there, but since the OP already believes I am paid by Big Pharma or something I am not going to touch it ;-)

But I think gastroenterologists know those procedures aren't popular :-D

For an endoscopy, you just need to stop eating 10 hours beforehand, but to get the colon empty... Yeah...

And so, so glad I haven't had a colonoscopy. Though the people I know who had one tell me the worst part is the preparation

I am so, so glad I was under sedation for my endoscopy

@HDE226868 colonoscopy?

Okay, the FAQ says questions can't be deleted if they have an upvoted answer. Good.

@michaelpri the comments on that one might need some cleanup - I edited the one source from them that was important into my answer

Oh wow, I hadn't even noticed the author of health.stackexchange.com/questions/3838/… threatened to delete their question. Can they even do that if it has an answer? I'm a bit worried now, I spent a lot of time on that even if the OP wasn't happy with me

Aaaah, right.

Huh, did I just get 2 rep from you approving my edit? I thought I didn't get that anymore. But I almost never edit answers...

Yep. The higher risk of anaemia and obstetric complications especially. I need to look at that study - women who used to have AN do weigh less all of their lives, though, so some of the problems might be from that.

@HDE226868 thanks! That's why I looked it up, basically, because I have no idea what that risk is

Those sources are fascinating. I had no idea this could have such long-term effects

@HDE226868 mind if I edit your answer to include the study on fracture risk itself? Or feel free to do it yourself: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eat.22248/abstract

@WYSIWYG I was just providing a link I was asked for here. I have no idea what's currently being discussed here...

@James biology.stackexchange.com/questions/44269/…

I probably shouldn't be feeding him, then

Hmm, the guy asking the question about complexity of the eye is on a year long suspension from the English Stackexchange

@Christiaan well, yours covers a lot more stuff. Three answers in the space of 10 minutes or so have landed the question on the Hot Network Questions, by the way

If so, thanks! :-)

@Christiaan educated guess - well, I can see the 10, so I'm sure about that. That it might have been my answer is a guess

@Christiaan one closer now? ;-)

Looking at how many adults crave chocolate and ice cream, I disagree with the premise that adults lose their cravings for sugar. But I don't know enough about the subject :-)

Well, I am over 30 and can still eat very sweet things. I have just also learned to eat other things. I don't think children crave sweeter foods than adults, they just need time to learn to eat anything else.
