I have a feeling that someone will soon a link between this discovery and the whole "Sonic attacks in Cuba" mystery ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_syndrome ) Conspiracy theories aside, this is super f

This is fascinating, and a niche where I can definitely see a smaller player causing a splash and driving down prices for nuclear medicine. My question is, how equipped are you to handle regulatory hurdles for international customers? It&#x

Both. Anecdotally I’d actually say that the ratio of MTF surgeries to FTM ones is higher than usual over here.

Not in the US style of drug ads, but not completely banned either; things like Tylenol and the various cold and flu drugs can be advertised. I’ve never seen ads for something that would be prescription-only in other countries except for Via

Aisle 5, right next to the condoms and lube bottles =) and Victoria Secret makes money hand over fist here. This would be off-topic here, but I think most people outside of the region would be stunned about the state of sex-change operation

I actually agree with most of your points. I don't think this is ideal at all, I just think it's a less-harmful solution (and hopefully a temporary one) in the face of systemic dysfunction in healthcare. The alternative seems to s

The subsidy/export explanation does make a lot more sense, since it's not exactly in a high-risk drug class. I suppose those regulations could have been misinterpreted by him to mean he needed a prescription. (unless Austria, wher

I live in a country where this scheme is already the norm (Saudi Arabia) and I can say that while it's not necessarily ideal, I much prefer it to the alternative. It plugs some seriously annoying holes in the healthcare experience and

Things get a bit more difficult when the identity is standing in the way of creating wealth. This seems to be the case here, assuming EU/NATO memberships would be largely positive economic forces for Macedonia.

I'm tempted to apologize on behalf of my countrymen, but hell no- those reprobates are a national embarrassment to us all over Europe, and deserve the antipathy. I'm sorry you have to suffer through their douchiness, however. I au

Thanks for the headsup, love Ben's stuff but I haven't caught up with it in a long time, I'll be sure to check it out.

For economics and economy-related cultural topics, I really like NPR's Planet Money ( https://www.npr.org/sections/money/127413729/planet-money/ ). The episodes on average are really short (anything f

Hah, while that would be hilarious it's not what it means in context; it refers to the apps block being lifted at midnight this past Wednesday.

I'm not sure this is at all accurate. Source: I'm in Saudi, and it's not working at the moment- unlike the other apps. There's been a big deal made out of the lifting of the voip ban since it's been a pain in the as

It's a lot simpler than that actually; there's just a need for money in the short-term. I can nearly guarantee that this has nothing to do with fears of electric cars or any disruptive tech. The Saudi sovereign wealth fund and oth

Doesn't work that way. The 5% sale is used to finance an overseas sovereign wealth fund. If the shares were made void the overseas assets would be seized by creditors and then the credit rating of the entire country would crash. It&#x2

Well, there's yet another meaning for it in Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf countries; "video game console". It became a genericized trademark for those who grew up in the 1980s. The phrase "Hey, did you get that new Ata

Not quite- hotels don't serve alcohol in Saudi or in Kuwait. But you are right that the religion itself doesn't say anything about non-Muslims consuming alcohol.

There isn't a specific idiom that I'm aware of, I'm pretty sure the Economist were just summing up a perceived sentiment with the 'slippery-slope' comment. In Arabic, that sentiment would most likely be expressed in

They did and still do- optionally. But the system probably uses Gregorian underneath it all, using the Hijri calendar just for display and maybe file timestamps (been a while since I had mine set to Hijri so I'm not certain). It can be
