Some bad guys plan their activities around known satellite "blank" times, when there is no overhead birds taking a look. Having the randomness in it makes it a bit harder to do so.
I took care of some Amish people a few years ago. They generally don't see doctors a lot. THey also have some pretty severe untreated illnesses. Much of the purported increase in Autism is from over diagnosis.
The Amish also don't use plastic much (less exposure to oily plasticizers in their food after microwaving), don't use Teflon coated pans, don't drink bottled water, don't use caffeine, don't use Tide detergetnt, don't watch TV, etc
And since vaccines haven't contained Hg in them since 1999-2000 , why hasn't the rate dropped?
You don't learn much in college, except HOW to learn. The learning comes in grad school. Thus it's not the French degree that's important, but the completion of the degree proves that you have the skills/desires to complete the degree.
As far as them being totally worthless, my one semester of French in college has helped me talk to Haitian immigrants to diagnose their medical problems, so I say it is. Calling it totally worthless is like calling basic science research totally useless -there is something one can do with the basics of a good, solid education, regardless of what you do with it later.
the actual bill was inflated, so that when the insurance company pays at a steeply discounted rate, the hospital doesn't get raped. Her insurance only paid about 250,000, of which she only had to pay 4%
Wow, so she uses the hospital billing rate, which NO HOSPITAL gets, nor does any insurance company pay. People who don't have insurance are also given a steeply discounted rate. She neglects to say that the Medicare rates that she compared costs to, are usually low enough, so that the hospital often can lose money on the patient. So lets put that in perspective - that would be about the same if her husband stayed in a 4 star hotel room for about 30 days, excluding room service. Most new cars cost about 2x as much. How much does cableTV +an iPhone cost? around $200/month for less than 5 years -the 7 year treatment of his cancer would cost them about the same. So what exactly is she complaining about?
And it's present in many industries/areas. No one wants anyone over 40 for rock, screen writers are ignored if they're over 40, since "They don't know what it's like to be a kid." The list goes on.
In programming, I think it's foolish. People are getting caught up on the techniques, and not the theories. Unfortunately, techniques become quickly dated, and irrelevant, while theory always will be useful
Seriously -is it that hard to think about. And I'm sure that whatever is made will work F'ing fantastically - after all it's Porsche, and not uncle Earl in his shed.
Ahh -that's the kicker.My dentist had a screen right next to the chair showing me where the carries were. Digital x-rays are quite nice, as the images can be blown up to show you where the problem lies. Mine was easy to spot.
I concur - ask to see the images. If you're at all concerned, then get a second opinion. No one is holding you in that chair.
I recently went after many years, and the dentist found three. I was a little suspicious, and asked the dentist about it. He said yes, due to advanced digital x-rays, cavities are spotted earlier. The more important fact was that he said with newer filling techniques and material, it allows them to fill smaller cavities. The older fillings didn't "take" that well in teeth, and so dentists had to let cavities grow largert, so they could fill them successfully. So the up to date, modern dentist will probably find these "mini-cavities" and fill them before it becomes a giant cavity. Why do this then? Well one of my older style fillings was in a tooth that was weak, which cracked in half, and I needed a root canal and crown. The newer mini-fillings will keep more of the tooth, preventing problems like that in the future.
Thermodynamics says you can't create energy - well then how did it get here in the first place? Why is there anything at all - there is no good reason for there to be matter, or even energy
No I don't tailgate - Porsche parts are too expensive, and I have no need to tailgate anyone and often let people in front of me for that very reason. Because I don't want to get hit in my rear either i leave room for me to scoot up. Trust me, when I had a Saturn - I took it from 50k to 110k in LA, and still on the original clutch. Performance cars wear their "fun" parts out much more quickly. And yes I traded in my Saturn for a Porsche (and a bunch of $$) - the dealer never recalled doing that before.
You should come and experience the stop and go "driving", that constitutes Los Angeles. I dearly love manuals, and have often thought of switching to automatic. I have a performance type car, and replacing a worn clutch disc after 35k miles was not pleasant. And Yes I do know how to drive, and have taken two other manuals over 100k w/o wearing the clutch, until I came to LA. The dealer said I was doing averag in clutch wear for these cars, here in LA. So an automatic would be cheaper in heavy stop and go commutes
I guess most of the EMP comes through the windows/body panel seams, etc, but building a faraday cage would stop that. Although most criminals are being stopped because they stole the car, and aren't usually preparing for such an event.
I do like the idea of criminals preparing for a robbery with one of these in their get away car though; they can hit the cop car with it, or just a bunch of other random cars, making a roadblock.
What we really need is the CARPOON (tm) an explosive fired harpoon from the cop car, designed to hook on to the fleeing car. If it happens to hit some meat - the TooBad (tm) clean up kit can be of use.
I'm a surgeon in the USA, and fell exactly that way, as do the majority of my colleagues. I also feel the same way about companies advertising for artificial hips and knees. Some patients will actually say.
"I want the Jack Nickolaus artificial knee." They just have no freakin idea why they want it, or what about it makes it appropriate, or inappropriate for some people.
I also think that the abmulance chasers should not be allowed to sue for any drug that has been approved by the FDA (unless there was some form of malice used to approve it).
The GP poster had a very well thought out, and reasonable argument. For those who do not know, MRSA is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus - a "resistant" version of a common skin flora bacteria that everyone has. It is resistant to the common penicillin (PCN) antibiotic families, and thus has to be treated with another antibiotic, that breaks down the bacterias cell wall in a different way, with an antibiotic such as Vancomycin. MRSA is comonly found now in gyms, locker rooms common surfaces, etc, but there are multiple strains of it. THe whole culture of having germicidal stuff in all our cleansers and soaps, doesn't help either.
MRSA first surfaced in Japan, where antibiotic (ABX) treatment of anything, was over prescribed, and thus developed there. As far as the USA goes, he is correct in the assumption in that people will undoubtably sue for appropriate behavior like that. People sue for anything nowadays.
I would agree more intelligence is almost always useful - but how much?
From what I learned in Med school - brains use about 20-30% of our caloric needs. The Boskops with their larger brains probably would have used more. So what is the cost of supporting such a large brain? Is it useful to have a Porsche turbo, that can go 200 MPH, when all that is available are dirt roads with potholes? - No, it's a waste. The amount of human knowledge at that time was meager, and the excess brain matter may have been overkill, and wasteful, and thereby a poor evolutionary survival strategy at that time.
Most of these types of experiments have previously been in cryo-preservation - some scientist, in Boston I believe, has successfully frozen beagles, and brought them back to life.
Anyway, In trauma surgery, the "Golden Hour" refers to the window of time, where massively injured patients can be saved from horrible injuries. After that, too much damage occurs, and the chance is severely diminished.
So using H2S(hydrogen sulphide) should help stop oxidative reactions, extending the "Golden Hour", allowing the patient to be stabilized, and brought to a higher level of care, where they can be fixed up.
Small side effect - H2S is basically the stench in Marsh gas, so these soldiers are going to smell like stink ass zombies for a while I think.

At least I learned that in Med school. A quick Google search will yield that answer too.

Seriously - they are much closer, just a lil longer hood, and some higher, more unstable wheels for all that "off roading" that the SUVs do.
