You know what really grinds my gears??

I was having a discussion with my GF's brother. He just finished his master's degree in public health. Long story short, we were having a conversation about human anatomy. I was telling him that human organs, as well as our brains, vary in size and mass. He actually trying to tell me that all of us have the same size organs!

I then found the WIKI page on "athletic heart syndrome", where basically super athlete's hearts grow bigger to make up for the bigger demands, more blood flow needed at better efficiency. It's all there in black and white.

So then he goes to tell me that we all have the same size brains, which I knew was flat out BS. There is significant variance in brain size in human beings. It only states the "average" human brain size on the WIKI, which obviously implies that some are bigger, some smaller.

What grinds my gears is how someone can have THAT much education in a subject that pertains to this, and yet still be completely ignorant of some basic fundamentals.

He's the kind of guy who likes to use big words just for the sake of sounding intelligent. Years ago I thought this guy knew what he was talking about, but over time I've learned to take just about everything he says with a grain of salt.

Education means nothing if you're an idiot :)
 
WTF does Xbox/Microsoft think "Play only through headset" means? To me, it means when there's no headset on, there should be no voice output. Yet I hear people yammering on through my speakers. I prefer not to play with the sound of shrieking kids or babbling psychopaths distracting me/cracking me up during game play. Yes, I can manually turn voice down until I hear nothing. But then I forget and when I do want to mic up I spend a few minutes wondering why the hell I can't hear anyone. XBOX...you've been out too long to be this stupid.

Isn't that the "play only through headset" option? I'm telling you, my xbox doesn't know what "play only through headset" means. I'm not at the console now but I think it only offers three options. Play through headset, play through speakers, both. "Play through headset" doesn't play through my speakers when the headset is on but as soon as I turn off the headset it's on through my speakers. Wouldn't be so bad if the voice quality on Xbox was better. But through a 1,000 watt 5.1 system it sounds like announcements of WWII bombings in London. Really tinny and small like through a wax cylinder.
