THIS! Clemens was financially troubled more than once in his life due to bad investments but that wasn't what broke him. We're talking about a man who outlived 3/4 of his children and the wife he adored!

Yeah I was trying to get the general point of "crushing the pill could interfere with effective delivery of the medicine" without getting too far into the weeds. Honestly it's usually fine and I do think mixing crushed pills

A. I have cats that don't go anywhere special that the other cats don't go so that doesn't work unless I supervise. B. It's difficult to make sure they get the entire dose, again unless you supervise. And good luck gett

If you need a painkiller it's worth considering the source of pain you are trying to kill. This is an article with a chart considering 11 different situations you might be in and which pill is better for each. A 12th line for "the

Something I'm surprised this article didn't mention is that sometimes the anti-inflammatory is the point. If you have swelling along with the pain then ibuprofen or any other NSAID is going to be much more effective. That would be

Its a little unclear in the bulleted list but in the volley ball example it becomes evident the author isn't talking about reflexes. "Where do I pass the ball to if it comes to me? What is the current formation? Should I try to r

I think most people have an opinion similar to NIMBYism. Everyone agrees there are too many regulations but no one agrees which ones are the extra. Every rule is someone's highest concern. That's why part of the argument in Abunda

Helium and Lithium were also created in the pre stellar era of the universe, hydrogen was the majority by far but not the only element that wasn't created in stars. I think anything past 3 on the periodic table is exclusively stellar t

A funny detail about this is that Feynman hadn't bothered to budget the $1000 for the prize. He thought someone would have to invent new tech to build the motor which would take years. If he had just gone a little smaller, say 1/1

It's never been an official index. This is conjecture but I'm pretty sure the idea of it even being an "index" is a stretch. More like people who work in disaster relief talking about their jobs informally. "I just

I'm pretty sure radioactive decay is truly random in the deepest possible sense.

They're not saying the failure rate of tapes is 50%. They're saying if you survey attempts to do data restores from tape then 50% of the time not all the requested data is found. I can't claim the same volumes you can but I d

The super bike is later in the book and temporary. When delivering pizzas he has a car so cool and intimidating it makes other drivers get out of the way so he can deliver pizza faster. But he actually wrecks it and looses the delivery job

>There really aren't more of those than there are people trying to give more credit to those women than there is evidence for. That doesn't line up with my life experience at all. Do you have any evidence to support that assert

Option 1 only works if Logitech plays ball. They might consider the exclusivity very valuable and be unwilling to license it for anything reasonable. Option 2 is a great way to land in court. It's one thing to steal IP from a tiny comp

If you think sand usage is primarily silicon power electronics you're missing a lot.

But that's back to a conservation issue which the article didn't raise at all. I agree that the species shouldn't go extinct but I don't know if I care how much it's being farmed. As for the dangers you raised those

Maybe I'm the problem but I didn't see anything in this article that communicated why the white Strawberry business should be saved. I mean I don't want the species to go extinct but I didn't get the sense that was a ris

It's kind of a historical happenstance. Standard was created first as a company offering support services for creators. Nebula was one of Standard's offerings which grew to be the main thing.

I think visibility is probably the primary goal which is not a bad thing. As for actual use the potential lies in the modularity. You could work primarily from an x86 laptop but swap the RISK-V board in for testing. And whichever board isn&

It's less about the field of electronics being old and more about being surprised that ISO apparently just started counting with number 1 and that the preferred numbers would be so early relative to other things you might want to stand

The thing that's blowing my mind here is that this standard was adopted as ISO 3. It reminds me of the Simpsons joke that Mr. Burns' social security number is 000-00-0002.

I understood your previous post to be arguing against copyright on the basis of scientific work not counting. If you meant copyright is fine but the way we compensate scientific work is bad then I agree. It's a complex issue because I

You're mixing up patents, copyright, and plagiarism. Similar but not the same ideas. Copyright exists to protect a creator's right to the proceeds of their creative output. Copyright is pretty broad. If I tell a different story wi

This article notes that the algorithm "leaks information at a rate of 0.0005 bits per character" and as such it's fine for encrypting a tweet but not a novel. Can someone with a better understanding of cryptography put 0.0005

I think that's part of the point. They don't focus on mastering a handful of dishes so they don't have the best of anything. At the same time they make an acceptable version of a wide variety of dishes. They are a great optio

You can still buy DVDs, or rent them from Redbox, or if you're lucky enough to have a local library with a DVD collection you can borrow them.
