Can we get a citation for the toxicity of ABS? My Google-fu is failing me as I can only find articles that say the fumes can cause minor irritation when inhaled or in contact with the eyes.

Could also be a holdover from using cents. I have always seen the cents symbol used after the number so 70¢ is a shorter way to write $0.70

This is called phase shifting(1) adding a large enough inductor to all of your resistive loads will cause your power factor(2) to drop. Unfortunately for you the power company bills you for your apparent power useage which takes into accoun

It has to do with the mucus in the nasal cavity not draining properly do to the lack of gravity. Most of your sense of taste is actually due to smell which is reduced when you have a stuffy nose. There are probably other contributing factor

This is true, that is why I only eat the "skins" of modern pennies if I don't have any old ones. The inside is where all that nasty zinc comes from.

Considering that the magic 8-ball has a patient, why not? (Granted it is actually an interesting patent since it solved the problem of air bubbles obscuring the answers on the answer die) https://www.google.com/patents/

How does paying bills and credit card debt mute the effect of the tax break?

At least the ideas are put on record and able to be accessed by someone who could see it through once the patent has expired, which fortunately is a reasonable amount of time.

I would think that having a resistance an antibiotic meant that a bacteria was losing out on a different advantage. This is why resistant bacteria only exist in places where having the resistance, hospitals etc., is more beneficial than wh

Edit: Other replies are better. Just going to add that if we create a new element that is stable it will be big news by itself.

Doing some quick math the used car would have to be valued at 70% of the new car's value to make the monthly payments equal. Edit: Also going to point out that you will lose about 10% of the new cars value just by driving it home and i
