Optometrists aren't medical doctors, so are not members of the AMA. A quick Google search shows that their professional organization is the American Optometric Association, or AOA. So it'd be the AOA who is complaining to their local congressman.
(Ophthalmologists are medical doctors and don't prescribe glasses/contacts; they do surgery on eyes.)
I still have vivid memories from my childhood of my cat bringing an almost dead mouse to me, dropping it on the floor and tapping it with her paw while looking up at me as if she wanted me to fix her toy.
She was trying to teach you to hunt. That's how cats act towards their kittens.
Technically, most people (with the exception of clumsy carpenters) have 9 alternatives when it comes to fingerprints. Just stick to one until someone steals it, then switch. If [(average time it takes for someone to steal your biometric data) x 10] > (your remaining predicted lifespan), then you win!
I use pure oxygen all the time. It's piped into every room in the building where I work. I'm surrounded by people who have had minimal to no training on safe handling of pure oxygen. (I'm a physician and work in a hospital. For the record, we have pipeline supplies of nitrous oxide as well, which is a similarly strong oxidizer).
Second this. Columbus is dirt-cheap compared to the coasts and the fastest-growing city in Ohio. It also has a bunch of tech startups and established tech companies.
Full disclosure: I live in Columbus.
I have a Kindle Fire tablet. I use it to read Kindle books when my iPad's battery dies. I got it on sale for $50 or something like that. I would not recommend paying full price.
Japan, Australia, the UK and other countries with sane gun laws have murders, but almost no mass killings. The reason for this is the lack of firearms, whether you like to admit it or not, the abundance of guns is directly correlated with a high number of shootings. This is true for a lot of countries where guns are abundant (whether they're legal or not).
I know you said "almost," but still feel obligated to link to this. Don't need guns for a mass killing.
...I can agree this is totally true. Calling in sick does nothing but make my life harder. I feel bad about it, but from a job perspective, the alternative is piss off your co-workers who have to cover for you and get tagged with the reputation that you're lazy and trying to avoid work. Combine that with the need to get a doctor's excuse (another doctor; can't write your own), and it's just not worth it.
If this were some private delivery company I'd agree with you, but we're talking about the U.S. Government here. USPS delivery people are federal employees. Federal employees have some of the best benefits in this country. They are not cheap to employ.
My car (Toyota Avalon) already has a blind spot monitor. It shows a notification in my sideview mirrors when a car is in my blind spot and beeps and flashes if I put on my turn signal to change lanes and a vehicle is detected. Very neat.
This whole idea is similar to a relatively routine procedure called deep hypothermic circulatory arrest which is used for surgery on the aortic arch, where it would be impossible to have the heart beating and it would be impractical to cannulate for cardiopulmonary bypass. Those patients are usually cooled to 18 degrees C and 30-45 minutes is usually the max as far as time is concerned. Even then, at least some cognitive deficit is common. So if we're talking hours here, I'm betting they may live, but I wouldn't expect them to be anywhere near their baseline.
I agree. Still, there's something about the "Young Earth" creationists that gives me the willies. The Intelligent Design folks are a lot more fun to argue with, at least.
[1] - I don't believe there actually is a tablet market. Just an iPad market. No one wants tablets, just something that makes them look cool and hip. Like everyone else.
I work in medicine. There's definitely a tablet market. We're not trying to look hip, trust me.
I have an eInk Kindle as well as an iPad. They're good for completely different things. I think the bigger concern as far as stealing customers will be with the Nook Tablet and the Kindle Fire, neither of which are eInk.
The competition between Comcast and whoever else may be scant in some areas, but it does exist.
Depends on your definition of competition. There are PLENTY of areas in the US where there is essentially only one provider of high speed internet. If that single provider decides to throttle your connection, no amount of complaining is going to help when they know you have nowhere else to go.

I know people pointed this out with Apple's new MacBook Pros. On the 13" model, only 2 of the 4 USB-C ports are also Thunderbolt 3.

It'll come. Sooner or later, probably sooner, streaming content will be just as ad-choked and invasive as broadcast TV and cable/dish services.
and Hulu, unless you pay more.

Yeah, when you're less open and inclusive than Apple, kings of the walled garden, that's saying something.

In modern history, we're known to do things with uranium and lead that we shouldn't have.
And radium!

If you want to see a synaptic-effect drug that is a real advance, look at sugammadex for reversal of aminosteroid paralytics.
It'd be a lot easier to take a look at Sugammadex if it ever got FDA approval...

The SSD cards are not soldered even in the late 2013 MBPs. I'm not aware of anyone who makes a replacement, but it is theoretically replaceable. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Retina+Display+Late+2013+Teardown/18696

Zuckerberg is an artist?
I don't think citing the bible as an accurate historical document is the best idea...
If the business can't generate enough cash flow to pay the liability insurance bill, maybe the business shouldn't exist.
But if they can just go a couple of states over and not have to pay, they'd be crazy to stay.
