In the 19th century, people were still taking blue mass (mercury) to treat miasms (bad vapors thought to cause sickness).
It wasn't until the 20th century that actual useful medicine got started, but the big blockbusters, sulfa drugs and penicillin came from Germany and France respectively. Meanwhile, the "American Free Market" gave us radium water and the deadly Elixir sulfanilamide.
So go ahead and wash your anti-freeze down with radioactive waste while the rest of us look for an actual solution.
Antibiotics are profitable, even new ones. They're just not obscenely profitable compared to barely useful hair pills and boner pills.
It's too easy now for them to make money hand over fist for drugs that turn out to not even be helpful. It's killed their incentive to do something useful for a fair profit.
Not really lost, but less. There's still the other houses on the street. Then it goes through the transformer and a few hundred feet of the distribution line but that replaces the current going through dozens of miles of HV, the substation, a few miles of local distribution and then through the transformer.
I can't speak for everywhere, but here, the nearest industrial area (high daytime consumer) is much closer than the nearest power plant.
In places like Ca, they may need to revise their billing structure, but in general locally provided power from PV is more valuable than wholesale power from out of state since it requires less infrastructure to deliver to a paying customer.
It's not free, even with net metering. At least it isn't everywhere. In many cases, only part of the bill is for metered power. The rest is in the form of various fees to account for infrastructure and billing costs.
In many cases, home PV is reducing the load on infrastructure. If I had a PV setup, my surplus would most likely go to the other two homes hung off of the same pole transformer. The total infrastructure involvement would be the 3 connections to our homes. The transformer itself wouldn't even be carrying the load.
Colo providers also tend to sell power on blocks of 10 or more amps. I know in the last situation I was in, going with Intel would have saved me nothing at all. There was no room to shove another server in and I was below the minimum power they would sell anyway.
Meanwhile, faster is questionable as long as you don't use the Intel compiler.
Yes, so if it is broad daylight and the robber has a Barbie pink BB gun that says my first BB gun on it, it's not a credible threat of death. OTOH, if it's dark out and the BB gun looks reasonably like a real gun, that's a different matter.
I'm not familiar with a case where a robber 'brandished' a candy wrapper.
It puts a big pinch on us since without the pipeline we have a natural advantage if we want to buy the oil. With the pipeline we get to watch it flow right past us and on to somewhere else.
But the pipeline wouldn't make the U.S. an exporter. It would be carrying Canadian oil so they could bypass the U.S. market and sell it to others who are willing to pay more.
Yes, the medical community jumped on yet another bandwagon with predictably bad results. In the UK, studies have shown that doctors warning mothers to treat peanuts like radioactive waste have tripled the rate of serious peanut allergies.
What I wonder is if the people giving the crappy advice are paying attention.
It seems we knew a lot more about allergies and how to manage them in the '60s than we do today.
Some stutterers are helped greatly by a device that lets them hear their own speech with a short delay. AFAIK nobody knows why it works. Perhaps it is providing an external substitute for the missing internal connection.
I would consider a credible threat of death to be a step above the more common threat of bodily injury or the even more common implied threat of bodily injury.
Beyond the obvious don't you think they have enough trouble, there's the little brother/stalking aspect, the lack of evidence the person looking up the disease actually has it (perhaps a friend or relative), etc.
Health information is considered significant enough to pass HIPAA. Looking at this data looks more than a little like an attempt to end run HIPAA. While not actually illegal, it is certainly questionable.
Meanwhile, note that your link about unvaccinated children applies DURING OUTBREAKS. Otherwise exemptions for medical reasons and for religious and philosophical objection are the norm. In the case of religious objection, it's unlikely to change.
I certainly never claimed that a BB gun is at all a deadly weapon, just that some of them look enough like one to place someone in fear for their life (as long as you don't shoot and give your ruse away).
That whole article was trying to claim that moving a rather large body of water towards the acid side of the pH is somehow not acidifying it. Then he threw in a dash of "but jimmy's doing it".
He might as well claim that swimming in crude oil gives duck feathers a healthy shine.
So they're supposed to cause ruinous damage to corporations in order to get crypto keys protecting average everyday definitely not terrorists without so much as a by your leave? I don't think so. That's the sort of oppression they're supposed to protect us FROM. They have become the enemy. They are the oppressive government that we grew up being taught to despise. Did you even listen in the 4th grade?

Actually, they do use the same drugs on animals as they do in humans.
More and more humans are now resorting to buying fish drugs from the pet store to treat their conditions.

Yes, it is absolutely legal. He already had the authority to make the decision so he would in no way be "vetoing his veto".
If Congress is unsatisfied with this outcome, they may attempt to override that veto, but they probably can't get enough votes for that.

Actually, in carefully monitored testing, kids with peanut allergies can build significant tolerance to peanuts by consuming tiny but growing amounts.
Ideally, the mother should eat peanuts while still carrying the baby. Evidence suggests that it prevents peanut allergy.

Given the form factor, it's nearly inevitable. Though you can get a shell and run bash scripts on Android.
I'm pretty sure all those "whites only" and "Irish need not apply" signs were hung by businesses.
I understand some business today aren't that fond of people who are gay or use birth control.
What happens when they decide being a minority carries a higher risk? (even if it doesn't)
Many corporations have an unhealthy interest in people's personal lives whether the information is objectively relevant or not.

You sound a bit desperate yourself.

My last contact with a pharmaceutical company was installing a Linux cluster.
The NSA has been exceeding it's charter by a wide margin for some time.

The article you linked is a rtather desperate attempt to downplay a real harm through sophistry. The author should be ashamed of himself.
Perhaps he should off himself. His body won't be dead and cold, it will just achieve the natural averages for organic matter.
