Um, taking it orally or dropping it in your eye? (I'm interested because my sister has just had eye surgery and while she is still adjusting to her new vision, she said something about potential dryness)

I am not sure that actually, the intermediate site is even technically sending the image. As I understand it, the iframe is set up such that the users browser loads your site inside the frame and the intermediate site outside of the frame.

No, ground effect is (AFAIK) when the depth of the wing (fore-aft) is greater than the distance above the surface it is flying over. The leading edge of the wing creates a pressure wave that reflects back from the surface and provides lift

Surely if the FaceID module provides a key to decrypt the encrypted contents of the phone, if you swap a module then another module might be able to verify a face but not provide the correct key, and the phone remains locked? If, before

Makes me wonder what the insurance company is paying, how much you pay them and if its even worth it. My dentist (in UK) charges £2500 for an implant. I don't have insurance. (technically I do have insurance, since NHS dentistry exists

You seem to be an order of magnitude away from what I consider normal for a small sailboat. 80W solar panel & 400Ah battery bank. Even the 'high output' alternator only puts out 70A max. Do people really need AC when away from

I had a couple of operations as a youngster, and from my memory (could be faulty) they would speak to you while you were still on the trolley then waft some gas in front of you as you needed to breathe in. Then, when you were sedated they w

No, at least I wasn't. My kph was about 10-12k giving 5-6 keystrokes per task if I recall. At least in the UK, if we had a postcode then that was enough. Not even required to type the whole thing. The UK postcode is split into two part

looks neat and I am in no way any kind of expert; I wonder why there is an external counterweight? It seems to me that the rotating 'piston' has hollow chambers in one side only to allow passage of gases and therefore needs a cou

I think your argument comes under 'whataboutism' to start with This war is caused by an invasion of Ukraine by Russia and nothing else. Neither the US nor NATO are fighting in this war, it is solely Russian troops invading Ukraine
