I wish sites would date their articles. The first ablation in a human was in 1981, ergo more like “45th anniversary”.

Considering that the alternative is "crack open your rib cage, open up your heart, poke around a bit and hope we get it right", yeah, an hour lying on a table while the cardiologist plays your choice of music on the speakers is a

It's pretty unhinged, I made it about three paragraphs before closing the tab. But sometimes even ragebait can be useful for the discussion in the comments, I suppose.

Many Amish will ride in your car if you’re going into town, as one example. Similar to Sabbath-keeping Jews are allowed to have Gentiles do $TASK (not recalling offhand what that might be). Regardless, to think it hypocritical is to perhaps

Any compact fridge also needs a fan. I seem to recall that the absorption fridge in our old VW camper had a fan w/thermostat on the heat sink on the back of the fridge. A common mod was to put a bigger fan on it to improve efficiency

Why on earth would anyone use this? Because they use a screen reader and don't know any better. And remember, the state of Washington sued the author for some very good reasons. I wouldn't let his stuff anywhere near my machines

I thought I'd be clever and use iOS's "Hide Distracting Items" to get rid of elements like that. But reddit kills the scroll, too, so even after the dickover[0] is gone the page is still non-functional. Nothing says, &qu

I don't know the answer, generally speaking, but we've got a pair that pop onto the back fence every morning waiting for their peanuts. I think they're multigenerational, as I have reasons to suspect that the "original

We have problems here with crows destroying lawns to dig up grubs. If you're in the PNW, those invasive grubs were going to destroy your lawn anyway. More information: https://invasivespecies.wa.gov/priorityspecies&#x

The ad hominem is uncalled for, you don’t know OP’s circumstances, and there’s a lot of presumption in your comment.

There doesn't seem to be a continuous lactate sensor on the market. They exist, a simple search will turn up a variety (how well they work is a different question). But see my sibling comment, they're banned from cycling competi

During what I seem to recall was an earnings call about ten years ago, it was stated that Costco doesn't do loss-leaders. What they more likely do is sell the gas close to cost.

I’ve never been much of a country music fan, but I’ve always been a Dolly fan. Great songwriter, philanthropist, and seemed like a genuinely nice person. RIP, Dolly, you were one of the greats.
