    Then why in the hell did you post? You intentionally made shit up about something you don't give a fuck about?

    Why would you do that? If you didn't care about the issue, but correct a factual mistake, I could understand. But just making shit up?

    Maybe you need to get back to work?

  17. Here is why: on 3D Printing of Human Tissue To Spark Ethics Debate · · Score: 2

    A couple of reasons:
    1) as it turns out, not all generics are the same as the drug it's a generic of. For example the generic for Wellbutrin XL releases the drug much faster over a 24 hour period then Wellbutrin XL does(32% over the first 2 hours for the generic vs 8% for the name brand). So it's the same active ingredient but not be released at the same rate. This means over the 24 hour period you aren't getting an even dose and towards the end of the 24 hours it may have no effect.

    2) When people buy a 'trusted brand' the placebo effect is sharper. IN that it will last longer. This is irrelevant to actually healing, but an important effect that should not be overlooked. And yes, people well aware of the placebo effect can be impacted by the placebo effect.
    Hell, I know a lot about the placebo effect, yet when I tell the DR of an issue I am having, I feel better.

    Does this mean don't use generic? well, that's for you to decide. I would recommend researching it and if you can''t find a comparative study then use the name brand becasue it had most of the studies don'e against it, where as the generic did not.

    Mechanic don't have magic information., have some confidence. Hell, find a broken down car someone wants to get rid of POS and take it apart to see what it's like, then have it towed to the salvage yard. That way you aren't afraid of breaking anything, and you can get your hands dirty.

    " statutory warranties go out the window."
    False. Only the warranty the part you modded, as per the law.

    My dealership charge a little more then local shops, but I don't mind paying a little more to a shop the pays decently and if something should go wrong.
    Plus the dealership has a lot of perks.

    The oil change and my dealership is 17.99 and the clean the windows. I don't use the for that becasue need to make an appointment, when can pay 19.99 and just drive into a place.
