It certainly seems like it ought to be really useful, but I don't use it a whole lot. The best use case I've used it for so far has been meeting minutes.
Oh I don't really consider it a problem that they balance their retirement budget that way, I have more of a problem for it being used to try to demonstrate that the USPS isn't solvent.
Hasn't it already been pretty well established that the USPS is doing just fine, but the accounting practices congress forces them to use for their pension funding make it look bad on paper?
Anecdotally I have seen this with raspberries: less relevantly, the birds love them and you have to pick them very regularly or they get discovered and the birds tell their friends about them and are harder to beat to the ripe ones. More on topic, you will end up with more raspberry plants under wherever the birds like to congregate, which being adjacent to fences or under trees also tend to be places the plants like. It is good until you get other berry plants birds like, such as poison ivy, intermingled with your raspberries and have to try to figure out how to get rid of the former without destroying the latter. I recommend a disposable tyvek coverall.
I've never had blisters, but have had red, irritated skin after chopping a large number of habeneros for canning recipes. If you've gotten the juice in your eye while chopping you'd not doubt that a sufficiently concentrated dose could result in blisters.
Primates like us are pretty good at eating poison, probably only the rodents do it better. A good example would be chocolate, which is famously poisonous to dogs, but also highly toxic to birds, but any pet owner has surely had to spend time figuring out which table scraps to have to keep away from their pets. The spiceyness in peppers is to discourage mammals from eating the peppers, but they aren't poisonous. Humans eat them for novelty, and birds can't taste the capsaicin, the latter of which probably help disperse seeds (also why berries that are toxic to humans are generally harmless to birds).
I don't use anything hotter than habeneros, are the ghost peppers and so on useful for recipes where additional less spicy peppers would be detrimental or is it all just a pissing match?
A phage cocktail might work, but you have to be careful injecting too much foreign protein into a patient, so the devil would be in the details. The latter case you describe is why antibiotics are faster: you can guess and begin treatment before you're even sure what has infected the patient. In any case, for superbugs they usually won't be different from non-antibiotic resistant bacteria as far as the phage is concerned, so it'd be safer to grow a less virulent strain for stock. Then you could ideally just do a rapid PCR on the patient to determine bacterial species and apply the appropriate phage. Uncertain will be if phage overuse could lead to interesting restriction enzymes being as prevalent as antibiotic resistance genes, but as you point out evolution should help the phages keep up.
If you've prevented septicemia you don't need to treat it with phages, either. Once it is in progress, phage therapy would not be as useful as antibiotics. Phage therapy would primarily be superior in less acute, more chronic style bacterial infections. Likewise, using them for such infections ought to help us keep new antibiotics effective for longer. Certainly phages could eliminate more 'luxury' use of antibiotics, like treating minor ear infections.
Yes, the best use of a new antibiotic is to put it on a shelf and not use it until you really need to, the antithesis of any normal ROI seeking product development. The private sector won't have incentives to develop them without government grants.
You have to take the time to figure out what phage to use. This is much slower than broad spectrum antibiotics. In a case of septicemia it would be the difference between living and dying. Phage therapy is very promising, but not for all the same use cases. For curing a chronic infection it'd be ideal.
They don't have to win out, though, they just have to hurt the wealthy donor class enough to get them to twist Trump's ear or get him defeated in the next election. Look at what they are putting tariffs on and it is clear this is their plan.
Well put... it does seem that winning a trade war with a centrally planned economy governed by a president-for-life strongman would be more or less impossible.
When I was in school working fast food we only accepted cash. The "career" staff 30 and up could count back change easily, but anyone younger generally called upon myself or the other college/college bound staff for math help if they keyed in the wrong amount into the POS computer and had to figure out how much change to give back. The older folks tried to teach them how to count it back, the others of us were hard pressed to train them how to help themselves since we just did the math in our heads...some people the math curriculum just utterly fails, I guess. I'm sure it is worse now with less cash use.
True, but isn't that true of any fine powder? Do the boxes of graham crackers share the warning? Maple is about as harmless as you can get, as far as wood goes.
You're positing that the post office knowingly defrauds itself for some reason? Your own link says they make a profit delivering Amazon's stuff. The Sunday delivery guys aren't the same ones that run the route the other days, and they get to dress casual. They seem pretty happy about it, actually, when I've spoken to them.
I'm not a physicist so I can't say for sure how much they are talking out their ass, but in principle you are incorrect. People figured out how to do basic microbiology to make yogurt, ferment beverages, etc before they had a meaningful idea of what microbes were. There were decent models of disease before anyone knew what diseases were caused by viruses or bacteria. Even a plague doctor's costume is pretty ingenious as PPE given what they knew and had to work with at the time. To bring it back to physics, we can have a really model in an equation that matches reality really well without knowing why the constants have the values they do when you run the derivatives and integrals.
Can you really just rename the lymphatic system, declare it is a new organ, associate it with woo and pat yourself on the back? In that case, I've discovered a new organ I'd like to call the sanguitium... it explains the mysterious medical benefit of bloodletting and balancing the humors.

Is that a useful way to look at the data? You've just stated twice that the median compensation is $20 an hour.

Counterfeit in these instances is trying to pass off third party parts as first party. Like buying a "rolex" from a street vendor.

Yeah my phone and PC email clients don't care what they do to the browser interface, I'll never see it.
Sure, Cortana was pretty useful, but it might actually be easier to make the power armor, less the energy shielding.

Oh sure, for treated lumber, but that is usually southern yellow pine, not maple.
Queue up the guy that will say it isn't AI because it isn't Lt Cmdr Data! Anyhow, this sort of modeling sounds like it could be pretty useful.

So if you're going to do something stupid with a loan, at least make it one that can be discharged through bankruptcy...
