Fwiw this is not typical, we don’t have alexa/siri type smart devices in any OR I work in, and suction is turned on off with a button and a dial.

Is there something unique to your application beyond the parameters I’d expect are typical for mech keyboard use? Buy one, use daily, and expect to work indefinitely?

We live in America. We have an old house (>100 yrs). One bathroom had a tub. We renovated the bathroom to incorporate a shower head. Turns out we couldn't purchase a new tub that fit the old dimensions, as new tubs are smaller,

Curious paragraph at the very end of the NYT’s article on this: “ On average, it takes 28 flights per week to cover a 1,750-square-mile region, according to the state Food and Agriculture Department. To combat the Leimert Park outbreak, off

Antipersonnel mines absolutely should have an expiry date after which they are no longer triggered by the depression of their sensor. Issue is, these things are mass manufactured and probably have some defect rate which increases with time

Surgeon here who does the majority of my “major case” work robotically. Author of this article has a coastal-centric point of view. My residency was apprenticeship model and I graduated very confident in my capabilities to perform robotic

Interesting - I have noticed a distinct warmth in a deep station or two (ones with a huge escalator) while traveling there but assumed it was ground heat or something. TIL!
