Agreed. An important thing to remember about the salon story mentioned above is that it is not 45 independent exposure experiments. Some people never shed much virus, or the stylist might not have been shedding very much on that particular

Some schools that are opening for in-person classes this fall don’t anticipate being able to remain open all winter, so they have kept one virtual day to make sure everyone is prepared to switch back to all-virtual when it becomes necessary

I have had the same experience with ordering Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh in the bay area. Everything I order arrives. I tried using a different grocery delivery and about 30% of what I ordered was out of stock. This was especially frustrat

I am also in Mountain View and haven’t been in a store since February. I have been able to place pick up orders with Nob Hill Foods for two weeks out (delivery has not been available lately). One of my husband’s colleagues has had good luck

Here's an interesting parasitic plant that you can find in the Bay Area: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuscuta_californica It's so bright orange that at first I wondered if it was spray paint left behind fr

Failure rates for contraception are surprisingly high, even if you are using it responsibility. 1% is common, but that's not even over a person's lifetime, that's PER YEAR. That make lifetime failure rate more like 20%. On to

I have the same question. I ordered some from Amazon for my kids. I hope this article means that they were carefully verified by Amazon, but it has still made me uneasy about using them. Just knowing fakes are common is really concerning.

To me it seems like whether it should be possible to trademark that team name and whether it's a name the team should feel proud sticking with in 2017 are two pretty different questions. I am happy with this legal decision because I do

It really bugs me how often these work-from-home articles have a photo of the working person trying to work with a young child around, implying that they are also taking care of their kids while working from home. Obviously doubling up like

The % efficiency figures for contraceptives are for one year of typical use, not per go.

I was about to make the same comment. It's amazing how much the layout affects the usability of the space. I hate, hate, hate those huge master bathrooms and walk in closets because they eat space. Also common where I am: large hallway

This appears to be a bug. It was working last night when I tried it, but now I just get the same Mountain View plane over and over again. Also the planes I made have stopped accumulating stamps. When it was working I was surprised how few o

They actually aren't adjusting for sex at all in their definition of obesity, it is just based on height and weight: "BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, rounded to one decimal place. Obe

In my experience this is not true when the father is also doing a lot of the care, so I am skeptical of the importance of "genetic/chemical/evolutionary forces."

You are right about being able to predict either, but the specific quantity described in A is the slope, while in B it is the inverse of the slope.

I am self employed and buy my own insurance in CA and it is about $1000/month for two adults and one child for a silver plan through covered CA. This is for medical only, so not too far off the estimate.

Another thing that makes it even worse is having health insurance that is tied to your employment. So if you get cancer and can't manage to keep your time off to less than 12 weeks plus your accrued sick days then you can be fired and

When people say their pets are like their children, I don't think they mean "like" as in "exactly identical to." They mean "like" as in their relationship with their pet fills a similar role in their life.

For perspective I had custom framing done recently for something that was about 16"x30" and it was $300. I could have paid less than 50% for a very similar frame using this site. Even the low-quality frames from craft stores tend

Google shopping express will happily deliver you a $1.67 bottle of coke for free if you are covered by their free trial. This is not their ultimate business plan (outside the trial is $5 per store for 10 items max), but get in on the trial

That is insane. $600k in legal fees for a case that didn't even go to trial? Is this normal?

If the yogurt + yeast mixture had a noticeable effect then it would have been interesting to tease apart which component was responsible, but since it didn't I think it was fine to leave it out.

Isn't this data very skewed by the fact that not believing in cohabitation and not believing in divorce are highly correlated? This group includes lots of marriages that I wouldn't consider good outcomes even though they don'

I wouldn't say this is a problem with a calculator. These two factors make predicting whether renting or buying will be better really hard in some cases, and the page makes that clear. I see it as an interactive tool that helps you exp

I clicked through to read about how they plan on running it long term. They will carry a very limited number of products, and every delivery person has all the products stocked in their van. They then route the nearest delivery person to yo
