    More than 500,000 men and women between the age of 50 and 71 participated in this 10-year study that concludes that 11% of deaths in men and 16% of deaths in women could have been prevented if participants cut their red meat consumption. [The study was published 3 years ago, but it's still interesting]. Mostly empirical, though also a bit subjective.

    This is a sister website of the very popular www.speedtest.net, which does many millions of internet download/upload tests every month. Aggregating that data across the world provides some pretty robust statistics on regional and national connectivity speed. You probably never knew South Dakota had the second highest average download rate in the country. http://www.netindex.com/download/2,1/United-States/ I'm guessing that's related to their cheap power and ample space in encouraging data centers to move in.
