I fear that now that we have witnessed the economic turmoil it can inflict on any community where this virus is released, there are entities out there who have taken notice and will explore this as a means to future warfare.

For those who are infected with Covid-19, but observe low severity in symptoms, is there a correlation to how they'll fare through the disease? I.e., perhaps they need not even take this medication?

I've been waxed before... and I bared through it just fine (try taking Advil half an hour before). And as I understand it, laser removal is less painful than getting waxed.

You could consider laser removal, but instead of complete removal (i.e. going in up to 6 times), you could just go once or twice such that you have hair down there but lesser and thinner.

rayiner, you cite poll numbers a lot -- "x% of y say they do|do not support z" -- which is good, it says a lot, but I want to bring something else to your attention, which I'm increasingly realizing is vitally important: pers

Nearly 2 billion of world population adheres to a religion that expressly prohibits alcohol consumption, and I'm sure a very good amount out of that makes it to a ripe old age.

That looks like a dream, but I'm wary of trusting a newcomer on delivering a dream. Apple's entire game is making things small and making them work well. Why are Apple (who has unlimited funds to throw at this), Anker, and other e

When it says Harvard, I assume it includes the entire Harvard network, including BI, MGH, BWH, etc. in which the case it's not that impressive. I'm pretty sure any lab at the Broad is way more efficient than the average lab in the

I bought a petite Prius due to network effects. It's nigh on impossible to do parallel parking in most of Boston (especially if you suck at p.parking), but with my Prius it's tolerable.

XKCD is created by a guy who is ... not exactly an "artist". Well, he's an artist because he draws, but he is foremost an engineer, and he went to school for a STEM education. He had a tech job at NASA in his past: https:&#x
