An anonymous reader writes: Narcotic painkillers aren't one of the biggest killers in the U.S., but overdoses do claim over 15,000 lives per year and send hundreds of thousands to the emergency room. Because of this, it's interesting that a new study (abstract) has found states that allow the use of medical marijuana have seen a dramatic reduction in opioid overdose fatalities. "Previous studies hint at why marijuana use might help reduce reliance on opioid painkillers. Many drugs with abuse potential such as nicotine and opiates, as well as marijuana, pump up the brain's dopamine levels, which can induce feelings of euphoria. The biological reasons that people might use marijuana instead of opioids aren't exactly clear, because marijuana doesn't replace the pain relief of opiates. However, it does seem to distract from the pain by making it less bothersome." This research comes at a time when the country is furiously debating the costs and benefits of marijuana use, and opponents of the idea are paying researchers to paint it in an unfavorable light.

Grilling meat is one of the great joys of summer. But it's also hot. So very hot. Sometimes, you just don't want the temperature to be a single degree higher.

This grill by Sandra Denneler can help. Her fruit bowl is made of a hollowed-out watermelon with wood skewers serving as a grill. The legs are three celery stalks which are soaked in cold water overnight to stiffen them. Blackberries stand in for the charcoal briquettes--except in Hank Hill's version, of course.

Steven got to play Civilization: Beyond Earth with the help of an "actual scienceman" not long ago, but the 2K and Firaxis still brought something new to show at PAX Prime this year. Earlier today at the Firaxis Megapanel, the artificial intelligence "Master Control" shows off a faction aligned with the "Purity Affinity."

The Purity Affinity believes that humans are good enough as they are, and so they seek to control the environment through terraforming in order to meet their needs. This contrasts with other factions, who believe that species must advance itself to adapt to alien environments, through either cybernetic enhancement or alien gene splicing.

Of course, "purity" does not imply "peace," as Master Control demonstrates through ruthless domination of a competing faction, as well as unprovoked murder of a majestic alien beast.

Mew-Genics is officially on hold, Team Meat's Tommy Refenes confirmed to Joystiq at PAX Prime in Seattle. The game was first revealed in October 2012, though the Super Meat Boy developer did not fully explain how the genetically-altered cat lady...

I'm very fond of telling the story about the time my World Cultures teacher, Mr. Achenbach, tricked my class into eating vegemite, Australia's favorite spread. He put a generous helping on a cracker, shoved it in his mouth, and proclaimed loudly, "I love it! It's so delicious!" as we passed the jar around the room, slathering vegemite on our own crackers. When we each had one, we ate it at the same time ... and reacted with horror. That stuff was disgusting. Mr. Achenbach spit out his own cracker, now yelling "Isn't it gross? I actually hate this stuff!" over the noises of my class coughing, groaning, and otherwise freaking out. 

So I can totally relate to the kids trying vegemite in the Fine Brothers latest React video. They are very wary of the stuff from the get-go, assuming it's smelly chocolate pudding or "nutella that's weird." One girl even guesses it's poop (then says, "it's poop?!" when no one corrects her). They say it smells like bread—not a bad guess; vegemite is made from brewer's yeast—or teriyaki sauce.

But their reactions, as you'll see, are absolutely the best.

Oh, kids, I have been there.
