So, that solution is to keep the pricing hidden, and then give you a "Surprise" bill after the fact. Sure flies against the idea of "Informed Consent". "Else I'd not have done that procedure...." Edit: Fro

I'd recommend something different, and drastic. At Wal-Mart, they sell a glucometer called ReliOn. It's the cheapest strips of the ones out there, 50 for $21. Start testing your blood sugar. Test it when you wake up. Test before y

I wholeheartedly agree. When I asked my doctor about what kind of exercises to do, and whom to ask about that for safe weight loss via exercise, he said "Oh just do exercises". I also have an existing shoulder injury, and meeting

I am. The weights are also in the data. Initially at the doctor's, I was 320. And that was 2 weeks ago. Now I'm at 314. And also, watch out about the a1c. They are not reliable readings to use in diagnosis. Studies from last year

Sure. You'll need LibreOffice. there's not many readings thus yet. However, given some of my previous symptoms (thirst, extreme hunger, overheating) along with family history, a basic test was done. a1c=7.1 and initial fasting glu

Thank you. I've looked at the Dexcom unit. I would like to run with it for 2-3 needles (20-30 days) to get accurate data on things I surmise are good, but yet cannot prove. I've also worked on guessing the score before I test. Int

That's an interesting article, for sure. It also applies to what I've been diagnosed with as well. Type 2 diabetes. I'm applying data science to this disease. It's what I do, and can afford. Unfortunately, my doctor thin

At least regarding higher education (where SCOTUS is reviewing), how is it systemic? It seems to be much more of an economic issue, where family income, local society income, and students' school budgets should be controlled and watche

I know you jest, but is there a proof (or good hypothesis) that allows one to convert a formula to an appropriately sped-up version quantum optimized algorithm? Compare the Sieve of Atkin to Shor's algorithm, for what I am referring to

Good point. How long does it take for us to rid the sins against blacks by our ancestors? 3 generations? 5 generations? Never?

I care. I will always use the "remove all ads" answer, no matter what. I'm still on metered bandwidth. And when I'm not at work, ads are another vector for malware. I'll pass.

The barrier of entry isn't the problem. The problem is that this segment is going to reduce options to those of the lower class and poverty class. Now, it may be of the opinion that these people don't matter. And effectively, they

I don't see a great future there myself. Imagine this: where you pay per the minute or hour for location to location driving, at a rate that is a multiple of owning it yourself. And for the poverty, low, and middle income classes, car

You also have to deal with the FDM void issue. Look closely between the layers: they cannot be there if you are to consider your product to be food-grade. Fortuately there are ways to remediate this. ABS is weak to acetone, so you can make

I was hired for design/printing of a piece that broke off of a motorized wheelchair. It was a bracket that held a neoprene bag for a cell phone. The plastic didn't respond to superglue, nor epoxy. Unsure of what type, but was not

That would be a neat experiment to see if the conjecture, "Redstone has no means of communication to the outside" is true. It would be interesting to find bugs within the redstone rendering engine that leak or emit data. I'm

That is correct. The cartridges are chipped. Not only that, but if the printer breaks down, they are completely closed source and effectively unfixable. If you want a good printer on the cheap, try here: www.aliexpress.com/item/Bl

Youre right, the basis for the group came from creepypasta and Supernatural. However the history of the Tulpa is interesting. I implore you to read Alexandria David-Neel about her memoirs of Tibetan Buddhist magic. What got me started was t

For the last 5 years, I've been running on almost exclusively Free Software. Cases where that hasn't been the case are in ATI and nVidia drivers. I can easily plop in an Intel graphics card and even route around that, if I chose.

In a way, I wish the US had something similar as the French's idea of reservists. Technically, we do, as the National Guard. However, they are abused and used on foreign deployments. Then again, I doubt they would accept me, given I ha

So, it seems that the only way to fight this was is to change their minds by asking assistance from the peaceful Muslim groups. We can discriminate Daesh and Muslims, and that only shows the monsters they say we are. We can bomb Daesh, whic

Point well made. With my ex-fiancee, a psychiatrist had her on prozac and abilify. She had a complete breakdown in her senior year of university classes. They put her on a cocktail of stuff and weren't honest in their dealings (parents

So the solution is to provide drugs that somehow deaden random neurons in somewhat random parts of the brain, and hope they don't cause massive side effects down the line? Just like that dental article a few days ago, doesn't the
