Isn't there a requirement in Canada that they air a certain percentage of Canadian content? That would promote the creation of bulk crap at the cheapest investment possible.
Yeah that was my thought when I read about this a few weeks back... there are all kinds of shows I've heard are great that are sitting neglected in my Netflix and Amazon queues until I get around to them.
So you think it more likely that somehow a single guy made it across the pacific on a raft, survived, and then managed to leave behind evidence that itself also survived?
True for some situations, but for example, after trying a lithium ion battery line trimmer I'm never going back to gas. It's as low maintenance as a power drill. The only gas powered equipment I own that'll be replaced with another gas powered unit will be my car, but even there I'd prefer to go electric if I can afford to when my current car needs replaced.
We were able to get some Adrenaclick brand injectors at CVS recently for $10. I think it is $109 without coupon, still cheaper than Epipen. I had wondered about the coupons and discounts that the drug companies had, now it makes sense... they probably even write off the discounts on their taxes.
If you're doing it as a public service to blind the hackers, perhaps a Kickstarter campaign is in order to finance the purchase. If donations reach above the threshold to buy one, then get extras and point them at printouts of Goatse.
They're being pedants. If he'd have said "I have a degree in engineering" they couldn't fine him, since it is a statement of fact, and it still weights his opinion.
Well... once they AIs have the stock market solved it'll probably collapse anyhow. Of course, I could be mistaken, as my understanding of the market is not robust, but it seems that it competing AIs learn how to always make 'winning moves' therein it'll at least cause some problematic bubbles.
Not to get too involved defending the GP viewpoint, but having a family would be, from a reductionist standpoint, highly intertwined with both power (protecting them) and sex (continuing your line).
It also changes context some... on a message board like this, long arguments are possible. No one wants to read a thesis on Facebook, so you get memes. But those don't have nuance, so your gut reaction when reading one you disagree with is that this is all the nuance that the poster is possible of. Things continue to go downhill from there.
I'd agree with GP that it is pretty obvious that if it can interact with a receptor in one part of your body it could interact with another. That's just chemistry. What isn't obvious at all would be what affect that would have. This is why we look at natural poisons and venoms for medicine: if it is bioactive in one way, then it will likely be bioactive in others.
I haven't reviewed their data, but sometimes biology works like that. You'll see a buffered response where nothing happens until the buffer is saturated and then effects increase linearly, followed by a plateau where you've saturated the target. You can think of it as sipping alcohol: nothing happens until you have absorbed more than your liver can eliminate per unit time, then you have a linear drunkenness response until you plateau by blacking out and being unable to continue drinking.
I could be mistaken, but even bereft of any mystical interpretation, it was my understanding that brain scans of monks, nuns, et al from a variety of religions do alter their brain functionality while meditating and praying. I'd always assumed they had figured out how to trigger a 'flow' concentration event.
An antiviral like this would be more profitable than vaccines that you only need once per strain. This would be more like buying Round Up For Flu than a lifetime protection vaccine. So, this actually has a chance of moving forward without government money. It's the vaccines that are DOA without government backing.
Oh we never make any antibodies from scratch in the lab, they're raised in lab animal serum by spiking them with the protein you want antibodies against, and purifying them out. In a vertebrate you have all the parallelism of evolution involved in helping make them, which you can't get so easily in vitro. Cartoon version of how it works in your body: you develop B cells. They randomly rearrange their genome where it codes for what antibodies they will make. Cells that react too often kill themselves, as they are (probably) reacting to your own antigens. If this fails you get autoimmune disease. Cells that do not react too often go to your lymph nodes. You are exposed to an antigen. It doesn't kill you before your B cells can react, and the ones that bind antigen from the pathogen reproduce and spread throughout your body. (Or if the antigen was peanuts or tree pollen, you're allergic to it now... constant low dose exposure can eventually make them kill themselves instead). The next time you're exposed to the antigen, the reaction will be faster and stronger since the B cells have proliferated. If this was a pathogen, it means you may not even feel sick or will have a shorter duration of illness. If it was peanuts or bee venom you may die. So... the immune system is very powerful but it is also dumb luck.
For my experiment: about twice a week, changing out of them before doing anything sweaty. So far there's been no smell. I wouldn't try it with underwear or undershirts but for clothes that don't really directly contact 'smelly' areas it seems to work well.
It looked like just packets of juice in the article... fruit cups might've made sense on some level. I think you could replicate this with a can crusher and packs of Hi-C.
That's a good point... not wanting to sell loss leading machines to nonsubscribers would be one thing, but the consumables certainly ought to be generating margin...
I looked up a review of that thing... it sounds like it is for people that want to home brew but are scared to screw it up, but from the write up it actually doesn't sound any easier to do. It must have a fairly narrow market.

Yeah we'll probably have to keep one gas powered vehicle for road trips for the foreseeable future. No reason to need two, though.

Ha! The officer election bit is the best part... "sure, we'd love to take over your organization! thanks for pointing it out!"

Thanks for that! That's actually a plausible reason I'd not thought of.
I haven't the slightest idea why we haven't switched to all SSDs yet, but at least if you are using a laptop they're default there.
