There are disposable, single-patient stethoscopes, but I've seen my Dr do a casual wipe with an alcohol swab often enough...

Man, it's going to be great when this gets adapted to make sure I'm looking into the screen at all the ads I'm required to watch, or when it complies a report of whether or not I'm paying attention to my boss in an all-h

The old LaserJet was jamming because you neglected to perform even the most basic maintenance. If you'd gotten it a new set of rollers (they were designed to be replaced), it would be happily printing today.

What? Tires are the way cars touch the road. If you're slowing down from engine breaking or from friction breaking, the force between the tires and the road will be the same. It's not like engine breaking has some alternative conn

The beetle crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine. Or maybe I just don't want to. The length of five football fields. Just shy of half a mile. I guess it comes down to a simpl

Four figures for an operating system license? > $1000? Really? Per computer, for just that version of Windows? Can you explain how that could be worth it?

I also find these "features" despicable, however in Sonicare's case this one is mostly benign. I also have a Sonicare toothbrush, and other then the head it came with, I only use generic heads on it. The "feature" y

I have that bell, it makes a beautiful sound. It's not quite loud enough, but it's real problem is that its spring is the only thing holding the striker on, and that gets bent out of shape way too easily. Plus it was way too expen

To give an alternative opinion, as someone who has come to see a commute as a complete waste of my time, and also as someone who has spent a long time contemplating the nature of my relationship to work in general, I did not feel condescen

Beautiful photos, but on a webpage designed to show them off, why desaturate / lighten them on mouse over?

Because it's hard work, and it states that both partners are going to do that work. It can be hard work to get pregnant, hard work to stay pregnant, hard work to carry to term, hard work to deliver and it is unbelievably hard work to r

Haha, lucky you. I might not fly as much as you, but in my experience the moment a bag leaves my line of sight, the chance it gets lost leaps dramatically. As someone who's had checked bags lost, and gate-checked bags lost, the ability

The only one who can judge the worthiness of this apology is Matthew Butterick himself. As for me, this sounds like the first steps of the self realization process Matthias should go through in an effort to better himself. Let's not ju

Flying used to be like this. I'm from Long Island and I went to college in the Boston area. I remember you could buy a book of delta shuttle tickets (~$100 / fight, book of 5) and show up and use them whenever you'd like, las

The expression int a, b, c; is not a use of the comma operator. This is using a comma as a separator, like in a function call. The purpose of the comma operator is to add a sequence point between its left hand side and right hand sid

Not that I think a pure paperless world isn't a great goal, but that outlook seems a little naive. My 1st grade kid is working on handwriting, drawing, art projects, and other "pencil work". Being in a hybrid model, at home w

I look at the change to ribbons through the lens of: "Would they have done it if they had viable competitors?", and I have to think that there's no way MS would have. Everyone would have laughed their way right over to Word P

(not gp) I have T-Mobile service in the USA, and my plan includes free international phone and data, but only at EDGE speeds. I could get a local SIM, but it's rarely worth it if I'm traveling to multiple countries.
