My impression is that the "indistinguishable from placebo" is only in reference to a study on people with Sciatica, but that a different study did show a statistically-significant effect on post-surgical pain. $465 USD for a 15-da

I drove a leased PHEV in California from 2021 to 2024. Driving on electricity was more expensive! Typically charged at L2 chargers at a retail rate of $0.39/kWh (admittedly during dinner peak after work -- off-peak was lower). The 17 k

I'd expect big companies to use Markmonitor to handle this problem -- basically, they _also_ register all of the one-edit-distance away typos that they can. According to Wikipedia, Akamai is one of Markmonitor's customers, so it i

IMO Bombardier probably eventually could have gotten there too if Boeing hadn't lobbied the US government into making sure nobody bought the C Series. In the end they sold off the entire line to Airbus and it became the A220.
