At least in the US, ivermectin requires a prescription to obtain. This means a medical professional (MD or nurse practitioner) believes it is safe for use with that individual and they are supervising it.

Nobody should be running electric heat (resistance heat, COP=1), since we now have heat pump technology that can operate below 0F and do so with COPs of at least 2. Electric tankless WHs are also a terrible idea in almost all cases. A HPWH

And, as captured in many of those points, a relatively high IQ. Almost certainly at least 1 SD above the mean, and in many cases (complex software), closer to 2 SD.

Worse than SES? I agree, though. You need to pony up for a dedicated IP from Sendgrid to get good deliverability to many hosts. Small ISPs tend to be the worst, IME, where Google, Comcast, etc work pretty well with SG.

Yeah, that's nonsense, or at least it is if you're talking about a system of significant complexity. Some simple greenfield app with a couple KLoC might not be complex, but most systems are hundreds of thousands if not millions of

Agreed. Any simplistic statement like "the problem with healthcare in the US is [blank]" is evidence of someone that doesn't know very much about the many complex and interlinked issues. Likewise, someone thinking the system

The problem is, you need a source of makeup air entering the building to actually move that much CFM out. Even with my basic 400 CFM (likely overstated) hood, it's only when I crack a window on the other side of the kitchen that I clea

CFL bulbs, especially earlier versions often emitted a surprising amount of UV light. The speculation is that the tight coils of glass would result in breaks in the phosphor coating, letting the UV through. I know I have fixtures that used

Ha, yep. As a pre-teen kid in suburbia, creeping past the neighbors' motion detector-activated outdoor flood lights became a fun game.

Totally agree. I've found that the process of interviewing tends to shift my mindset, and I'm not really interested in staying, even if they match my pay. I just left a role. I wasn't really unhappy, I just hit a tenure that

Maple syrup is highly, highly concentrated sap. The sap itself is mostly 99%+ water, with just a slight sweetness to it. To make syrup, you have to boil away almost all of that water, going from gallons of sap to only a small amount of syru

I just updated my list of financial accounts/life insurance (acct number, type of account, where it held and phone number) for my wife. She's the primary beneficiary on all the accounts, so it should be straightforward to collect

That's right. All power-hungry appliances (those that produce heat, mostly) get their own 240V circuit at amps typically ranging from 20-50. Electric dryers and water heaters usually get 30A @ 240V, stoves get 40A-50A @ 240V, and AC&#x

Heat pump water heaters (most of them) take the same 30A @ 240V circuit that a standard electric resistance water heater uses, though running in HP mode, they draw far less than that. They typically have the standard 2 electric element setu

The breaker size almost never matters in a circuit, including ac/heat pumps. These units are rated in MOCP (max overcurrent protection, aka, the breaker size) and MCA (minimum circuit ampacity, aka, what gauge wire to run.) You actuall

Like AJayWalker said, bring it up with your PCP. Just say: I think I may have AD(H)D, can you give me some recommendations of who to talk to? My PCP had a few, and I had to call around, because some weren't taking new patients. Some PC

That might not be that late. I finally got diagnosed at 41, and my psych said adult ADHD being diagnosed so late is surprisingly common. In retrospect, it's obvious I've struggled with it for most of my adult life, but I learned t

The thing I don't understand is why some OTP systems have started issuing 7-digit codes via text/email (e.g. Sendgrid). I have to imagine Sendgird is competent enough to lockout the account after a few failed OTPs and/or limi

They didn't stop increasing or go down, was my point. One would expect that if insurance company profits were a large component of the premium cost, limiting that to 20% would lead to some beneficial reduction in premiums.

by briHass 5y ago
The US conducted the experiment to limit insurance companies' profits. A component of the ACA (Obamacare) was the 80/20 rule, where at least 80% of all premiums collected by health ins. companies had to be paid out for care. That

The downside to this is that you also need to stop moving slowly. The benefit of airbags/crumple zones is that they prevent your squishy body from decelerating too rapidly. Great if you can get off the motorcycle and slowly slide to a

Yes, but why are we eating more? It's not like people in 1961 had more willpower than those in 2021. I think there's some truth to the CIH and palatability. It's pretty hard to argue that food engineering hasn't made s

What do you think about it when compared to the oft repeated (though possibly overblown) claims of ageism in tech? The way it could work is that you work your young/middle years in a company, and they continue to employ you in your nea

There might be a few things you need from rural areas like food, energy, water, a place to put your trash, raw materials and warehouse space. The people that live out there, work in those places. One might argue that urban areas are far mor

Define 'much worse'. Even basic heat pumps in traditional air/air split systems can achieve COPs of 3-4 above freezing air temps. The modern mini splits can do that well below freezing. Nowhere has electric so cheap that a 2x

Unfortunately, I agree 100% Even using SendGrid, it will be a week or two and a few hundred emails to 'warm up' one of their mailserver's IP addresses and get reliable delivery. Like you, I found VZ to be the worst at trusti
