Warehouse lady might also have added value by turning 5 pallets of low-value junk into one pallet of slightly more value plus 4 pallets of low-value junk. If pallets normally bring say $100 each but by letting the stroller lady consolidate

You're going to have a hell of a time getting very many objects out of a mold meant to hold concrete for an interesting lawn ornament. Especially when in the hands of a renter who's probably by definition never used the process.

Right, I'm not arguing the basic mechanism here. I'm just saying that every course of chemo does not completely wipe out your immune system, either. Dosage and cycling of the chemo matters, and even then your body reacts differe

> Well, chemotherapy destroys/reboots the immune system That's a pretty gross oversimplification. Chemotherapy isn't one thing, it's a whole range of cocktails of drugs given in different combinations and doses for d

Sooner or later. Chemo drugs are brutal. I was just reading a study the other day that some testicular cancer survivors treated with cisplatin will have measurable, reactive cisplatin in their blood plasma 20 years after treatment. The st

I know "Kansas is flat" is a popular trope, but it's not even that accurate. Depending on how you measure, lots of states are flatter than Kansas. Florida is the flattest state by nearly all measures. Illinois is crazy flat

My current (Brightspeed) and previous (Spectrum) ISPs have nominally "supported" IPv6. Except ... not nationwide, there are regional differences in how it's done and how well it works. And nobody can tell me if my specific

What about those examples generates brake dust more than any other business? Mechanics replacing brakes doesn't generate new brake dust. How does it bother the outside world if there's metal shavings in a machine shop? They save

Perfect is also the enemy of good. We can't let the fear of knowing even better in the future keep us from making progress against the mistakes of the past, or nothing will ever change. In a lot of cases, knowing better in the future

I'm well aware. I think of the $99 printer as a filter - either it's going to catch your interest enough to justify jumping to a $600+ printer, or 3d printing isn't for you and you aren't out much.

As somebody else mentioned, you can hire it out. There's a lot of files running around with existing models for common projects, so you probably don't need to design your own enclosures a lot of the time unless you want to. And pr

Lots of replies to this comment, but they all miss a critical detail: the Panama Canal isn't just a "man made river" at sea level, it's a series of locks that raise and lower the ships between the oceans, with stops at a

If only this was true! I have a bunch of Makita cordless tools (and IME, Makita was #1 for pros 10-15 years ago, not a niche brand). Several years ago (2015-ish?) they changed up the battery shape a little bit so newer batteries wouldn&#x27

The MyQ app sucks, though. Besides the dark pattern ad-forcing they do, I've also had the thing redraw while I was holding the button to open a door. Which meant the wrong door opened entirely - one that happens to be 20 miles from w

Exactly this. Current ham regs in the digital modes really, really limits what you can do, and keeps it in the dark ages compared to what goes on in 900mhz and 2.4ghz with unlicensed devices. We need to get back to where having a ham lice

There are plenty of guns running around that are over 100 years old that are surely an antique by anyone's definition, but are safe and reasonable to show with modern ammo. Pretty much any gun of that age, unless it was some kind of c

Really depends on the gun to some degree. There’s collectibles that are worth more left alone, especially old stuff pre modern ammunition. But lots of old but not that old stuff its more or less expected you’ll fire it to test it works on r

Modern management of side effects can help a lot, but it's not a surefire thing for any given patient on any given chemo. When I did chemo, I had cycles with 5 days on - and I couldn't do anything useful during that week, or most

That’s also WAY more than you need to farm - no household will eat even 10% of that total yield.
