The article doesn't say those minerals degrade, however it also fails to reiterate the linked paper's reason: > The high rate of magnesium deficiency now postulated [5–8] can be attributed in part to a steady decline in general

Dental insurance generally pays out fixed amounts for most things. So a dentist with higher operating costs has to "make up" for the difference somewhere. Either by volume or by recommending more procedures. > It doesn't c

This might sound stupid but I refuse to go to dentists that have "too nice" of an office. Over the years I have lived in several places and had a variety of dentists and one common theme that sticks with me, the nicer and higher t

Objectively better to what? Git usage is only one part of a wider engineering org. That like saying "bugless code is objectively better" without considering time to delivery, engineering resources, etc.

I have a Rongta RP331. The thing I wish it could do different is that when printing a single line, the autocutter hides it, so you have to line feed about 5 times until the line you printed is visible. If i did it different, maybe i would t

I did something similar with a receipt printer. a thermal usb receipt printer is like $75 dollars and easily controlled by python. Super easy to print out images and QR codes. and the autocut functionality makes it easy to segment messages.

I think a lot of issues BEAM was trying to solve were solved by processors getting bigger and more cores. BEAM's benefit 10-20 years ago where that inter-node communication was essentially the same as communicating in the same process.

I see your point, the success of this would have to align with a change in the broader academia to only cite research from insured researchers. The "organic" way this would happen is if there was a shift so that journals with insu

Insurance companies insure one off events all the time. You can literally insure anything, its just a matter if the premiums outweigh what you perceive as the risk. "Uninsurable" just means the price is too high to be considered p

Like all things in life that have risks of fraud, negligence or potential failure, insurance could be the answer. Want to publish in a peer reviewed paper? Well then your institution or you should take out a bond or insurance policy that gu
