The blood checks I brought up because this was a thing specifically criticised by my friends in the medical trade. For the vast majority of cases where they need to take blood, it just so happens to be the preferred method used for diagno

AFAIK it's entirely unique. I can't think of any cooperation anywhere that runs on such anarchistic principles.

It's basic cost-benefit analysis. I completely appreciate where you're coming from, but despite all your points many of the checks are still silly, banal and irrelevant - the benefit of waking someone up mid sleep cycle to ask t

Seems that there were some massive security vulnerabilities that NordVPN found. [1] I'm very interested in seeing how this court case works out, as at this point I don't know who to believe. [1] https://nordvpn.com/

To provide a different perspective from that of kadoban, NordVPN is by far the best VPN I've used, and I've tried most of them (got to make use of those free trials). I had one issue with billing which was cleared up the same da

"Self-help" videos targeted at men often lead to that too I've found. I might be watching a video about how to come across as more confident to people, or tricks to becoming more disciplined, and with just four or five clicks

I can back that up with a different anecdotal experience not including the Chinese. Many of the students on my course were wealthy Emirati and Saudi students. They were quite open about the fact that most of them paid people to write their

If aerospace get computers like this, I'd love to hear where I need to be applying to. We're running on Windows 7 machines with i5-2400 CPUs, about 4GB of RAM, and integrated graphics. All our CAD software is run on a grid system,

That little holiday time still baffles me. I've taken 15 days off this year and we're barely nearing mid-summer. That's not including the 8 bank holidays we get. I've still got another 10 to use before the years end, not

I remember reading a study a while back about the B12 found in unfiltered river water being sufficient for maintaining healthy levels in humans. It would be interesting to see a human study on this - albeit not useful for most people, as ri

Lack of foresight is a collective trait of the human condition. It'd be interesting to see who the protestors of said outsourcing in the 80s were, and see what they say now. How did they foresee it in the first place? Is the current ou

I also thought this when I was still eating meat, but changed my tune rapidly when I went vegan. Frankly, if I'm craving a comfort food like a beef burger, I want something that hits as close to home as that beef burger without being a

I'm guilty of being one of these ghosts. Perhaps it's bad conduct, but when I've decided to move on from the solution that the sales person was providing I generally don't get back to them. As such, I'll list some r

As far as my brief reading has got me, despite what was my general understanding until now they generally eat very little meat at all [1]. I guess it makes sense in this case that they're never been found eating reptiles. [1] https:&#

He got fined for it. He was stupid - in my eyes, the judgement was stupid too I agree - but that's it. Equating this to some Orwellian novel though confuses me though. That's some Fox News/Daily Mail level of pulling at straw

I don't quite understand why you're being down-voted here for a very reasonable statement. I suppose that perhaps 'a lot' is a bit hyperbolical, and it is realistically closer to 'a small few'. I had AirPods fo
