Piracetam is not approved by the FDA for any medical use and it is not permitted to be sold as a dietary supplement, so it can neither be prescribed nor sold OTC. It may be possible to import it, but that's legally questionable; then a

What language is "Scandinavian"? Also, perhaps the intention was that "Emacsen" was the literal name of a version of the emacs family of editors, of which GNU Emacs is only one (XEmacs, for example, being another one).

Fentanyl is legal and safe when used appropriately, just like heroin is in some countries like the UK, which uses diamorphine where US hospitals might use morphine or hydromorphone.

Marijuana may treat some forms of light pain, but it is in no way comparable to opioids as an adequate treatment for pain. It may be similar to Tylenol 3 (small amount of codeine plus APAP) on an opioid scale that goes much, much higher to

Very often opioids are the only adequate treatment for pain; what else would you suggest?

Vermont had universal health care and it didn't work for them, a very small (size and population) and highly homogenous state. I doubt any larger market (basically any other state) would be able to make it work given the realities of t

Do you mean Nazi? At least in the US, it's legal to use that word.

Estonia, however, is more Nordic than it is Baltic, other than in geography: its people and language are Finnic (neither Indo-European nor related to Latvian/Lithuanian) and it's been part of Denmark or Sweden for most of its hist

Schools don't generally spend their endowments; what they do is use the profits (if any) from investing the endowment to fund the school's budget (academic and otherwise), because tuition alone doesn't nearly cover the cost o

Law firms websites put where their attorneys went to law school (always) and where they were undergraduates (usually); take a look at where they went sometime.

Most loans are private and not given by the federal government; subsidized loans from the government are actually very limited.

Many top schools (e.g., Harvard) are essentially free (both in terms of tuition and from loans) for children of families making under roughly $100,000.

All schools with greater than $1b endowments still ask for donations. What school doesn't ask for donations?

Use iMessage (or similar service). Texting beyond 159 characters never works reliably.

Which is why iPhone users hate texting Android users. Their messages always come in green, split up and in the wrong order.

Doesn't iMessage work internationally? iMessage just works. It's beautiful, especially when everyone you know has an iPhone. And I'd say China blocking some services is more China's fault than that of WhatsApp (terrible

I (from the US) studied in France in 2003. In the US, most college sophomores at a very affluent school may not have even had mobile phones, let alone texted using them. In Paris, everyone had a mobile phone and everyone texted. There was a

All companies are supposedly equal in doing business, but some manage to compete better than others. Taxes are just another area of competition.

How would this possibly work? Just throwing out the word 'startup' doesn't solve anything. The only way to reasonably take this comment seriously is as subtle sarcasm.

As opposed to the microSD card with the most capacity, what is the microSD with the best reliability for use with, e.g., a Raspberry Pi?

Because it's a partial agonist, it is almost impossible to overdose from buprenorphine alone. Narcan can be purchased OTC at many pharmacies for around $100.

Buprenorphine is not the 'generic' version of fentanyl. Fentanyl is the generic name for various brand-name medications such as Sublimaze. Buprenorphine is the generic name for Suboxone, Butrans, etc., and is an entirely different

What does the manufacturer of OxyContin (Purdue) have to do with you being prescribed Vicodin? And the world generally agrees that a just society wouldn't execute anyone. And the greatest issue in your life was that you were prescribed

What if you are actually in pain? In that case, it might be fully rational to take the potentially addictive opioid painkiller, despite the possibility of developing an addiction.
