Can I get a link to the feral cat info you're talking about? My Google skills are weak.

So even though you have no way of knowing if the species of bee this person is seeing is the same one in the article, you find the information valuable?

There are a lot of species people call bumblebees. This one particular species, Bombus pensylvanicus, has disappeared from much of its range. You may be seeing insects that are called bumblebees, but not likely the species being talked ab

I think the point is that these are not well-aligned couples. They barely see each other for 40 years and then they're stuck together 24/7. This article is specifically about the way this affects the wife. I don't know if t

I run into that all the time. I've got a solid grasp of biology and have a lot of knowledge about animals. It's pretty rare that I find an article that draws the conclusions I feel should be drawn from the information. I had to

It's nice that you think healthcare in the US works like that. I promise you that everyone I know who complains about what they are charged for healthcare is, in fact, complaining about the out-of-pocket cost. Let me know how you fee

Are you in the US? Not knowing the cost of a doctor visit until you see the bill is a ubiquitous problem with health insurance. Every time I need something besides a basic visit to a doctor I've seen before, I call my insurance compan

Oh yes they do. I've got "good" insurance and have such fun when I get a surprise bill for $150 for talking to a specialist for 15 minutes when I thought it would be a $25 copay under my plan. Costs a couple grand if I end

That's a good point, but the majority of ivermectin in the US is used as a dewormer. Maybe I'm incorrect here, but I'd say that the principle use of this drug is as a dewormer. It can also be used in other applications, but

Maybe it's an issue of dosage. At the levels you would prescribe outside of the hospital to a patient presenting with symptoms of schizophrenia, it can definitely cause sedation. At higher doses, you could probably say that it is a po

So if you were writing an article about benedryl, you would feel comfortable describing it as a powerful sedative?
522.
by msrenee 5y ago
Having sedating properties is not the same as being a powerful sedative. If they had said it was used because it can be sedating, I wouldn't have said a word.

I haven't finished the article yet. I got sidetracked by the claim that Haldol is "a powerful sedative." I understand that journalists are neither doctors nor pharmacists, but if you're reporting on a story about medica

Horse paste? It's not you specifically, but you're not the first person I've seen recently who has referred to it and didn't appear to understand what the substance is. Someone I know called it a "horse tranquilize

I don't know if anyone else pointed this out, but that fishing vessel got screwed over coming and going. "The crew suffered acute radiation syndrome (ARS) for a number of weeks after the Bravo test in March. During their ARS treat

The listed studies in that paper are all in vitro besides one study in mice where there was no significant improvement and one in pigs that did appear to show an effect on porcine circovirus 2. I'm not saying it isn't worth tryin

My parents have vehicles with different levels of road-assist or whatever you want to call it. This is the Midwest. I don't go a day without driving through some kind of construction. It's a constant headache when I borrow a veh

Wait, what's the conversion rate of HN karma to ducks? I haven't received any ducks at this point. When should I start to expect them? I'm fond of mallards and mandarins. Do I get a choice?

There are a lot of different lines of mice used in the lab. Generally the incidence rate of cancer is pretty consistent in the lines used for cancer research. In addition, most cancer studies test for whether there is an increase in cance

South Dakota would be nice. We were up there for a couple days this spring and it was tempting. Nice people, little bit of scenery, cost of living is reasonable. Definitely beats moving to someplace that's crowded and hectic or at h

I haven't found anywhere that identifies him as the shooter. I get the impression that there's not enough evidence to say who it was that shot the woman.

Saying that English is a mix of old German and old French is an oversimplification and not all that accurate. You might want to do some more reading on the history of the language. Can I ask where you're from that you use the term &qu

by msrenee 5y ago
English isn't a real language because it's had additions from other languages and the grammar has changed over time? Is French a real language? They've also lost most of their case declensions and have plenty of loan words.

Just anecdotally, the warehouses around here pay $15/hour for unskilled workers who do not drive lifts. In a low cost-of-living Midwestern suburban area.

F-150s are huge trucks? What's a semi to you? Or even a 350? Most people who own 150s don't need them, but they're not huge trucks.

I'd be worried they'd plot some kind of revenge.

He's obviously writing about his own perspective. That would be fine, but he tries so hard to dress it up as logic and math. He doesn't address the conservative end of the problem where so many 25-35 year old men are belly-achin

It's also not really true for young dogs. A 1-year-old dog of most breeds is reproductively mature, whereas a 7-year-old human is not.

Is it out of the ordinary? We're working minimum 50 hours a week and being told that it's only out of the goodness of the supervisor's heart that we've got any time off. Even at above-average pay for the area, they can&
