But presumably if you can target the building e.g. at night when nobody is there, that's preferable to targeting it during the day when there may be more civilian workers.

Does child soldier only mean toddlers though? I thought it was more commonly 16, 17 year olds. Presumably recruiting 17 year olds is against international law. But for a guerrilla fighting group that doesn't care about international la

Bone strength is usually the weak link. When people "fall and break a hip", almost always it's actually their hip breaks first, which makes them fall.

Hot plastic and food isn't a good mix. Pushing hot air through a plastic machine sounds like a great way to get chemicals to leach out into your food.

Scary story and I sympathize. I assume this is pretty rare though, which is probably why it's hard to treat in the first place (there haven't been that many patients to research better treatments on). E.g. doesn't every mothe

Given enough data, Bayesian and frequentist models tend to converge to the same answer anyway. Bayesian priors have similar effect to regularization (e.g. ridge regression / penalizing large parameter values).

There's the issue of correlation vs causation here. There is no controlled experiment where children are randomly assigned to control or test group and those in the test group are bullied (that would be unethical). It's plausible

The real value of an MBA is the network you create with other MBA students. That's why a Harvard MBA is worth more than (unknown school) MBA - the top companies hire Harvard MBAs who then have a business network with other Harvard MBAs

They still use pieces of cadaver for other surgeries. E.g. gum and bone transplants done by periodontists. Seems risky to me.
