San Fancisco metro population is 4.2 million people and all are in a moderately small area. It isn't NYC, but there is a hell of a lot of traffic between SFO, LAX, and SAN.
Not necessarily, one of the biggest problems with metallic inserts is that they are so much stronger than the bone that they can occasionally cause secondary breaks. If this compound was closer to actual bone in strength and flexibility, there may be less of a trade off than you think.
True, but even a 50% reduction in food output in Europe and North America would still leave plenty for the natives... If the increased rain led to more irrigation in desert like areas, our food output wouldn't go down much at all...it would just get more expensive to farm.
In North America, the only crops that would see a serious decline would be sunflowers which aren't a big deal and wheat, which is a big deal...but the total reduction wouldn't be that bad as we could simply move wheat production further south where corn is grown now and corn could move in to Oklahoma and north Texas were the most important crop is dust and tornadoes. With enough of a rain increase in eastern Colorado, western Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska will actually increase in productivity pretty nicely and get outright hot in the summer now...so even a 10-20 degree F drop wouldn't destroy agriculture there thanks to the severe continental climate.
The next time it comes up, ask if he would go to a car lot with no idea whatsoever about what type of car to buy and let a salesman "guide" him to the correct car for him. Oh, and most car salesmen make far more money, actually know a little something about the product, and have more incentive to start an actual relationship with him for future purposes.
I would say the opposite is true actually, my brother's summer job is at a local baseball park. The hot dogs they buy are the cheapest available and people line up to pay $3 a piece for them.
The problem though is when the choices don't involve a party that is fiscally conservative. One is MORALLY conservative and such, but not very fiscally conservative.
90% of my groceries are from Wal-Mart (the remainder comes from small on the way home trips to a smaller grocery store up the road), I eat virtually zero processed food and am not overweight. I am not poor, but a lot of poor people shop at the same stores at which I shop. My grocery bill runs about $100 a week and my wife and I eat virtually all of our meals out of that money, we eat out maybe once a month.
Poor people are fat because they eat fast food and DON'T shop at grocery stores enough and what they buy at grocery stores are things like TV dinners, processed meats, and stuff like canned "pasta". One can literally walk around in a grocery store and somewhat predict how overweight someone is by where they are in the store. Look down the frozen food sections or the "deli" sections and it is mostly fat people, look in the produce section and it is mostly healthy people.
Are you fucking serious? This guy is talking about a family member with a potentially life threatening illness that can't be treated due to inequitable nature of our society and you suggest he eat a zero carb diet?
Of course cancers feed off sugar, cancer is YOU gone haywire, your body metabolizes sugar preferentially and so would cancer. But just like the rest of your body, any cancer (other than a brain tumor, and your body WILL PRODUCE the glucose needed to feed your brain and then a brain tumor) could metabolize any other source of energy as well.
Let me guess, your suggestion to someone with a bad computer virus would be to unplug the PC as the virus feeds off of electricity.
Measuring fat percentage by BMI is a lot worse than measuring computer speed by GHz, a lot worse.
I'll add my personal stats as well, I'm about 6'4" and weight around 230 lbs, I don't quite have a six pack my top two layers of abs are visible and I think by the end of summer I'll be able to see my complete ab set and have oblique definition to boot. I squat a bit over 450 going just sub-parallel, can deadlift a 525-550 depending on what else I do that day, and can bench a bit over 300 (damned long arms), and can do three sets of 10 reps of pullups with 45 pounds attached. The only noticeable fat on my body is the little bit covering the lowest part of my belly and around my kidneys. My BMI is about what yours is and says I'm overweight.
I will say though that of AVERAGE people, a high BMI at least correlates to being overweight.
What you say does apply to some of the towns here, but not to all. Fayetteville for instance has a pretty decent and mostly free public transportation system for a city its size and is very walkable and quite full of its own culture.
90+ hours of internship? A whole two weeks huh? Try a typical four years of residency with 60-80 hour work weeks. The last year of medical school is often called an internship, but really the definition more fits residency. So instead of the 90 hours you think, it is more like 18,000 hours.
Also, any doctor worth his license would try to diagnose something and if unable to would at least send one out to a specialist who DOES have significant experience in the area of the issue and if specialist isn't able to diagnose the problem they SHOULD send the person out to a subspecialist if one happens to exist in that area.
My thoughts exactly. How would a high school class even go about GETTING intestinal tissue? Also, a granuloma usually isn't seen microscopically initially but via XRay and can mean many different things.
From my own experience in the medical field, I would say that Crohn's Disease is probably OVER diagnosed, not under. I'm thinking either the whole story is fake or some significant details have been left out.
High level sportsman jobs are based on extreme physical gifts, so they don't really count. More of the classic, you have it or you don't. Of course you DO have to do enough to get by in school to qualify for athletics...
Celebrities generally become celebrities based on something they did and those things generally require either a high level natural gift, extremely good connections, or extreme luck. So, in some cases you have a point.
By musicians do you mean actual musicians or teeny bop pop gods? The later require no education and are just lucky and you would have a point there, but the former most certainly DO require a lot of study...even though it is specialized study.
I concur. I have replaced exactly two CFLs since I started using them about 6 years ago (at first just in high use areas, everywhere that isn't tube fluorescent for about three years). One I broke with my hand when I wasn't paying attention and hit it when mounted in a ceiling fan and another that died after about 4 years without an observable reason.
The first three bulbs I bought 6 years ago are all still running and are used quite often (daily for a least an hour, a lot more in the winter).
Yes, but it took extremely advanced knowledge of nuclear weapons with the experience and data from many, many actual detonations fed into simulations to produce a nuclear weapon this small. It is MUCH easier to built a WW2 era 20 kiloton bomb that has to be delivered by truck, missile, or plane than a 1 kiloton shell or "suitcase." I would think that a rogue state would actually use a limited supply of radioactive material to actually produce conventional munitions that spread far more deadly radioactive material around by simple explosion than try to build a suitcase nuke. A far more dangerous situation would be a group simply purchasing a nuclear weapon from a failed Soviet republic.
The good thing is there is absolutely no reason at all to have a sphere of it that size ever made. It would be worthless for energy production at that size because the start of a reaction for that much deuterium would quickly go catastrophically bad. If you think that 6 million pounds of something falling at a fast rate (note...not an INSANELY fast rate, just very very fast) would be bad, think about 6 million pounds of deuterium going critical.
Yea, the loopy righty shoot 'em up types are usually more concerned with anthropomorphizing nature, luck, cosmic principles and rolling it all together under the title "God."
You kind of just proved his point actually. The individuals which ascribe to a political party are often very much at odds with the "other" party, however the parties themselves are only at odds with each other in public circles.
Of course I live in the South, have several friends that live in high rises, I go to the opera at least three or four times a year, drive a German car, and gripe a lot about global warming. I don't waive a rebel flag off my back porch, but I am proud to be from the area I am from and love the state I live in and was born in. I also don't own a gun nor drink sweet tea. I of course wish I made more money, but I do OK and I'm an atheist.
I think the biggest differences between the modern North and South is that there are more rural people in the South, a higher percentage of Southerners are Protestant versus Catholic in the North (still not everyone, just relative). Pay scales are lower in the South but so is cost of living, a typical school teacher, nurse, or fireman in Georgia or Louisiana lives in about the same relative status as the same in Michigan or New York.

Your timeline is wrong. Windows XP Professional x64 came out April 25th, 2005. There is no way that 5 years ago you were already tired of using it.

Um, no. The physician also has a 4 year degree obtained before medical school.

Seriously, I live in Class 3 area and within about 15 miles is a substantial chunk of Class 5 area.

How old is your Corolla? Mine gets between 35 and 40 to the gallon and I routinely get 400-420 miles out of a tank before the light even comes on.
Wow, if you are going to use that then I say we have done tremendous good for the world's flies, rats, mice, cockroaches, termites etc.
Dried ponies burn quite nicely, thank you.
