   I have no idea of the actual data, but I believe that percentage in waste plastics of those kinds (PE+PUR+PBAT+PLA) are something like : 95.0% PE 3.9% PUR 1.1% PBAT+PLA so, even if these newly found microbes are effective and come into use

   A part of the narrative just doesn't sound right. It is not the (usual) Ponzi scheme with final users or (small or large) private investors as victims. If the IRS agents could determine that the value of one of these trailer was around

   At least here in Italy, we were hassled with those kind of "rocket surgery from your phone" :) ads, and told (whether right or wrong) that we had to change most of our TV's so that they could narrow the video transmission ban

    I will throw this on the table (and quickly hide my hand behind my back): If the price model (IMHO correctly) is connected to the actual costs of the search, why not make a "searches account"? You pay 5$ per month as a "basel

    There is no doubt that having some good basic Latin knowledge is useful, I presume particularly so for someone not native to any of the Romance languages, as it allows to understand many words, even in non-romance languages and recognize th

    There are many queer things in (past) translations, it is funny when they stick. In Italian we have the expression "la bellezza dell'asino" (which is "the beauty of the donkey" and it means - nonsensically - the kin

    Maybe naive question, but I haven't seen anything about the taxation on tips. From the little I understand of the US taxation, tips are in theory subject to taxes but in practice many (most?) low wage workers omit to declare them?
