Oh, the memories, I loved VB6. I remember when my father had to use medicall services billing program supplies by a natinal health insurance company, and he had some problems with it. Luckily, I was a student in Bucharest and I went to thei

Quite the opposite. The NSA would not provide the type of training that would make its own employees question the NSA itself, I'm sure you receive the exact amount of training to do your job and not more.

Does that mean there were two airbursts and not just one in the same place 9000 years apart? Not disputing that, but my interpretation would be that there was just one airburst that covered both cities.

Yeah, that's a claim I made, out of ignorance. It seems the chinese were lucky like the russians while the Bronze Age folks were not so lucky. So I guess we should invest more in asteroid defense.

So, two early cities were destroyed by meteorites in the Bronze age, when there were very few cities world wide. And that's it, as cities kept poping out everywhere, this never happened again.

What happens when interest rates go up? That's right, interest rates cannot go up, or else these people will be screwed. The same for stock market. Ok, so we bail out these people/investors at the cost of catastrophic failure in t

High antibody titers is one reason it's very unlikely to get reinfected within 3 months. But it's more complicated as there are multiple antibody types -- the actual infection produces antibodies in your nose that aren't prod

Completely wild speculation, but I think it will be more than 6 months, because covid variance is much less than flu. There is emerging proof that dissease+vaccine immunity is much better than dissease or vaccine alone, but it might also be

Ok, so high enough energy photons fluctuating to other particle/antiparticles and then being able to interact with other high enough photons is an explanation I'm willing to settle for, because I thought that multiple bosons can o

How can two photons collide? Aren't photons force carriers/bosons?

Try melatonin drops. The ones I use are 1.5mg for 10 drops, which means I only take 2-3 drops. They also last a reaaaly long time for me, because I take such a low dosage and I don't use them everyday.

You take syrup drops. One drop is ~150 mcg.

Won't all gaba agonists downregulate those gaba receptors? Afik GABA system is something you really shouldn't mess with? I thought you'd suggest some novel substance to upregulate GABA without tollerance.
