So? If you find Wikipedia too complicated, you probably aren’t looking up your medical diagnoses.

They have matte grey, but silver metallic on cars is pretty different. Think of the brushed appearance of a Tesla Cybertruck or a DeLorean.

In the world of "strange stuff that occasionally happened on the internet back then", my favorite example is from September 11, 2001. Nearly all US news websites were at a crawl. But somebody at CNN - knowing that their website wa

Silver is the ideal color for hiding dirt. I had a silver car once. Unless you drove it down a dirt road during a rainstorm, you basically never had to wash it.

They are targeting people who want nearly-silent fans for computing devices and will pay considerably higher than average prices for them. I have several of them, and they are vastly quieter than the competition. Wouldn't be worth it

No kids of my own, but my niece is 16. Wife and I took her to dinner when she was ~10, and afterward she said she wanted some ice cream. Sure. We drove to the grocery store on the way home (it's an older store, not huge) and handed her

For why, just glance at this. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fd... (It's a Dungeon Crawler Carl-themed license plate.) Look carefully at the sticker at the top right. The tag is actually MONG

A fair point. But it still seems reasonable that only about 1% of suspect posts lead to a formal inquiry. Doesn’t mean they aren’t taking the report into account. You have to figure that they already have leads on most of them.

I have no deep problem with exclusion; as you say, that’s human nature and unfixable. Making mods personally legally liable for everything that appears on their board is just insane. How many minutes are acceptable for them to see and revie

That seems reasonable though. The FBI isn’t interested in busting one perv in a closet, they want the ones making the stuff.

Eh, it totally does comport with calories in, calories out. We just don't hook people up to metabolic carts in day-to-day life, but that's really the only way to measure the calories out part. The physics of CICO are undeniable.

You need a closer eye on it ;) Or go slower. I'm an anesthesiologist; we will sometimes use a pulse oximeter below the cuff as a quick estimate. With practice you can estimate SBP to within 5 mm Hg or so, which is more than enough for

And if you use a mercury sphygmomanometer, you can actually see those pulses appear and then disappear. (It's harder to see them with a gauge-based one.)
