It wouldn't work because the bomb was full of nitroglycerin. Concrete is strong but it would only possibly dampen the explosion. Also recall that the bomb was set to detonate without any delay if it was subject to even slight vibration

In terms of listing certain brands, you're completely correct that this should not cause there to be different results. But I disagree that these details should be left out of the paper. Any competent scientist attempting to replicate

In the article, he explicitly compares American doctors with Irish doctors. They both go to school, but the Americans go for about three additional years. There is apparently no real difference in medical outcomes.

No, that is not what I meant to imply. My point is that increasing living space will obviously require more income, and it seems arbitrary to assume that 2-bedroom is the point of comparison when you're only looking at one-person incom

The article doesn't address why the hourly wage for 2-bedroom is relevant in relation to say, a 1-bedroom, studio, or mansion. Looking briefly at the BLS data, it seems that there are about equal numbers of single- and double-earner ho

Is pretty damn perfect for a chemical process. Each replication of the genome introduces only one error on average and given that the majority of the genome is junk DNA (not just non-coding, but actual junk), the single error is roughly ana

Anecdotal evidence, but I saw a man violently detox from Kratom after a spinal surgery. He required full sedation/ventilation for about a week before he could be woken up without thrashing around.

Tipping is a quirk of the culture but it doesn't mean that anyone is getting off the hook paying the employees. That money is still going from the consumer to the waiter, just not via the employer. If it was factored into the bill, it
