Well, ok, but... “The Zika epidemic has been very explosive, more explosive than we can account for by just mosquitoes and the level of Zika virus in human blood. Some other factor may be at play ... it could be some other bodily fluid – s

I spent a few hours in Hasankeyf in 1999, on a tour to view a total solar eclipse. The buses parked on the Tigris shore and we all climbed up through some of the cave passages and houses. Here are some pics[1]. Certainly the town is a hugel

I took a quick look at the linked FDA rule PDF, but I cannot figure out what the penalty is for not registering. For instance it is not clear what would happen to a small vape pen maker, selling into the legal marijuana states, who simply l

Just imagine an alternate world in which Elsevier et.al. used common sense, and offered all papers for a reasonable fee, like 1 euro per download, with a fraction paid to the authors. They could be generating 50 million euros a month and be

I've visited Spokane for weekends several times in the past decade, usually following the Stanford women's basketball team to games with WSU or regional tournaments. So I haven't any experience in living there, but for a tour

There are so many economical, livable cities in the West within a 2-4 hour flight of SFO or SJC. Seattle is already too expensive, and I find Phoenix quite unpleasant, but Portland, Eugene (go Ducks!), Corvallis (go Beavs!), Spokane/Pu

Just for what it's worth, there are several Soylent-like meal replacement products that are explicitly formulated for ketogenesis. This could be an aid for a person who wants to try a keto diet without having to research a lot of new r

If they refresh, how many ports would the new MB Pro have? I was seriously taken by the looks and weight of the latest MB, but the idea of a single port -- and needing a bulky adapter dongle to connect an HDMI cable or any of a dozen legacy

A number of small companies sold packaged S-100 systems with customized CP/M provided. I bought an S-100 bus box from "California Computer Systems" which included a serial port board and disk interface board, and they provide

I support this type of project and wish the OP well, but I have to say that I think the free manual is a bit overpriced in its present state. It leaves many details unsaid or vague. There needs to be a detailed plumbing diagram and many mor

The reason that methods of papyri dating have become of interest lately is the controversy over the so-called "Jesus' Wife" fragment. The question of its authenticity is right in Hurtado's wheelhouse, so to speak, and he

Regarding social security, that's good; it removes the entire AARP membership as no-voters. You could actually finesse it a bit by saying that anyone born after 2000 (so, turning 18 in 2018) will not be charged FICA when employed, and
