The Prop 65 signs that were already in place... they stay. Places that represent a significant exposure to acrylamide (coffee shops) will be adding Prop 65 warning signs.
I'm not clear whether or not labels will need to be added to individual containers, but I seriously doubt that.
Comcast deserves every amount bad press they get. But this story is just vapid. It's not as if the fee is hidden. Anyway, it can probably be reversed or excluded by ordering the services over the phone instead of online.
Totally off topic, but depending on the make/model of the elevator system the Door Close button is functional for various service modes like firefighter service, attendant service, inspection service, etc.
You can be on the tower, or you can be on the ground, but you can't be on both. It's not the potential that kills, it's becoming a circuit path. Birds roosting on power distribution lines, which as a general rule are not insulated, don't die due to that fact.
That's not how any of this works.
First, the tower is grounded and at the same potential as earth. The primary concern is not electric shock.
The parent poster was concerned with worker safety when exposed to radio frequency energy.
After performing the required calculations and determining it is safe to work at x distance from the transmitter antenna, workers will typically wear a personal RF monitor to measure exposure.
Came to say this. H2S at around 100 ppm can/will deaden the sense of smell. Usually, the lack of instantaneous loss of olfactory functions can be attributed to the gradual increase in concentration of H2S in a given area during an incident.
But I guess saying Uranus smells like a bag of farts is more entertaining than actual science.
Then the shareholders and investors own the shame, too. Not that many would care, I agree. But take a look at this example, where investors urge Apple to do more to protect children from smartphone addiction. Such things could have potential impact to "profit", but one could reasonably state that it's the right thing to do.
Much of what is wrong in the world is represented in this story. I get it.. recovery of R&D costs, profit, all of that. This seems to go far beyond the pale, though.

So the sentence parses out as "according to Stallman's observations and experience, if a program is not free software, it probably has one of these malicious functionalities."
Anecdotally, my wife recently had an onset of acute bronchitis, which is, in most cases, a viral infection. Her doctor prescribed antibiotics "just in case" it was bacterial.
The United States Congress first implemented a $0.01 gas tax in 1932 as a temporary measure, putting that money towards reducing deficits acquired due to the Great Depression. The tax was supposed to expire in 1934, but, as so often happens, Congress voted to extend the tax and raise it by half a cent instead. The tax now sat at $0.015 per gallon of gas.
From the fifth:
Research indicates that this practice dates back to the 1930s, when the federal government wanted to get its hands on a fraction of what our ancestors were paying for gasoline. In 1932, the feds implemented a $0.01 gas tax as a temporary measure during the Great Depression, set to expire in 1934. But it didnâ(TM)tâ"instead, it was raised by a fraction of a cent.
From the bottom of the results:
John Felmy, chief economist for the American Petroleum Institute, said pricing gasoline in 9/10ths likely started in the early 1930s, when the federal tax on gasoline rose from 1 penny to 1.5 cents a gallon. The current tax is 18.4 cents.
So your assertion that parent's post stating that the 9/10ths has "been a function of gasoline taxes forever...." was "absurd" and "false" doesn't really hold water, now does it?
We have to go way back to when the oil companies were selling gas for, let's say, 15 cents, and then the state and federal boards decided they wanted a piece of that to keep the roads going, so they added 3/10 of a cent. And the oil companies said, "Well, we're not going to eat that,' so they passed that on to the public."
Raising prices a penny would have been disastrous when gas only cost 15 cents. But why did it stick around?
"They found out that if you priced your gas 1/10 of a cent below a break point, let's say 40 cents a gallon, '.399' just looked to the public like 39 cents..."

What has essentially happened here is that acrylamide has been added to the list of chemicals covered by Prop 65.
The Prop 65 signs that were already in place... they stay. Places that represent a significant exposure to acrylamide (coffee shops) will be adding Prop 65 warning signs.
I'm not clear whether or not labels will need to be added to individual containers, but I seriously doubt that.

Is that a meaningful distinction?

I figure those things were calculated in the original price. Where do those three items fit in with tripling the price of the drug?

No. That's what "or" means.

Part of this may be due to antibiotics being used as a diagnostic tool and also because patient expectations may lead to antibiotic prescribing.
Anecdotally, my wife recently had an onset of acute bronchitis, which is, in most cases, a viral infection. Her doctor prescribed antibiotics "just in case" it was bacterial.
empircally - you're using that word, and I do not think it means what you think it means nor do you appear to know how to spell it.
fyi only.
With grammar that atrocious, it is difficult to take your assessment of the scientific paper seriously.
Sorry.

I just did some research on your claim, because it sounded absurd. Turns out it is both absurd and false.
Not exactly absurd or false. There's some truth to the parent's assertion:

You're reading the comments wrong.
You act as if Facebook is the entirety of the internet. Didn't AOL try that shit?
