Concise/Sama&Etani ST600 was my go-to in high school. A circular slide rule, it had a little insert with an incredibly detailed, dense plastic cheat sheet (the sheets varied, math-oriented, chem oriented, etc.) and a periodic table on the back. Shirt-pocket sized, if you wore the right pocket protector;-)
Pics at the link just fill me with nostalgia (for my visual acuity at the time; sucker's hard to read now... sigh).
I'd be a lot happier if I believed, just for a moment, that someone was going to jail for this. Instead what I really believe is that someone is going to lose his bonus for a quarter. And then be promoted.
Rather than a car analogy, let's go with a bible analogy, 'k? Consider the prodigal son... let's celebrate that we're coming together, instead of nursing old grudges...
I can't believe that the voters haven't acknowledged No Award before now; it's not perhaps Zelazny's best work, but it's up there (first published in The Saturday Evening Post, then in Last Defender of Camelot).
If patients needs to increase or decrease their dosage, the hospital can do so without changing the appearance of the pills
I've overseen family members' hospital stays, making sure that, among other things, drugs and dosages delivered by staff are correct. They aren't correct more frequently than I'd like. This'd make it impossible to tell. Fail.

It's understandable that English-speaking countries have lower rates, but even within English-speaking nations, the US is pretty near the bottom.
(Australia is right at the bottom.)
England, America, and Australia make in interesting set of examples; each more isolated than the one before it. It's unsurprising that countries without a lot of foreign languages spoken nearby might be linguistic naifs. The US has a border with Mexico, of course; class/SES differences probably go a long way toward explaining why Mexican Spanish isn't more popular in this country.
I was just searching the comments prior to posting that one myself. I remember using that system at Purdue back in the Summer of '76. I was amazed enough at the tech that the name, Plato, stuck with me:-)
LMAO, you don't know how evolution works, do you? What possible advantage could autism provide, when it renders most afflicted persons unsociable and awkward and therefore highly unlikely to pass on their genes?
LMAO, you don't know how evolution works, do you? What possible advantage could sickle-cell anemia provide, when it renders most afflicted persons breathless and weak and prematurely dead and therefore highly unlikely to pass on their genes?
The real story here is probably more complicated than this, but it's a *hell* of a lot more complicated than that.
Roger Ebert wrote a poignant essay on this topic about a year before his own death. In the essay, he explores just what information about someone means, divorced from actually knowing that person. Check it out; it's a keeper. Merry Christmas.
I, myself, only feed my child what the poorest kids in the world eat. How else will I stay motivated?
My child may not have chosen to do this, but wtf, he's only an object in my self-motivational strategy, right?
Tomorrow, I plan to shoot at him until all the worlds violence stops as well. I'm only thinking of the children. Well, all except the one I'm in charge of.
Great, so if you use the waste heat it throws off, you can get 80% efficiency. How is this different from the efficiency of using a Bunsen burner-heated teakettle to turn a little turbine for power, and claiming the waste heat as usable energy? Plus there's the entertainment value of the whistling sound of the kettle itself...
What are the figures without the waste heat thrown in? RTFA was no help...

Worth looking at the actual article, especially the before and after pic they've included ...
Damn it, now you've ruined the control group. Who told them about the internet?

Economics/Econometrics is a science, it's swindling that's an art.
It's such a common problem-type it even had a name: Externalities (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality).

You may want to consider alternative DNS servers like OpenDNS on the router.
Had to read that three times before it stopped coming out "I wrote this on a Commodore with a Nexus 7 "
Their business model? Google sells on-demand access to a large-ish music catalog; I assume they don't want to compete with themselves ...
Perhaps they just pissed-off God. This suggests that airport waiting-lounges are what happened to Eden, which, IMHO, puts flaming swords to shame ...
... makes a nearly identical blunder ...
It's not a blunder. That's the big lie: that it's an honest difference of opinion. The rest is minor detail.

Nonsense

Just splendid -- giant mutant criminals. What say we just pelt them with radioactive spiders and have done with it?
