For all of the things we know are present in food and necessary for nutrition, I suspect there are still a lot we don't know of. Biodynamic farmed food seems like the best bet if you have access to it. At least you're avoiding the

People I know who grew up in Asia remark consistently that the chicken here in the US is larger, softer, and tasteless. They are used to smaller chickens and toothier meat with a stronger taste. It is probably breeding practices here, to pr

I cofounded a start up which was a call canter using software I wrote to manage maintenance at small pad retail sites such as fast food restaurants. We had investors. One showed up, a couple, who were extremely angry due to the repayment of

It does require discipline and sacrifice, and it's harder or easier depending on circumstance, but it is always possible. You may not be able to save very much, but even a small amount can get you through some situations that would oth

Maybe try reaching out to some coworkers and see if they'll meet you for lunch somewhere in between. I have one I meet every week, and one I meet once a month or so, and another who I meet up with but not for lunch, just a 10 minute ch

I think it may be stressful to feel that unless you're in the office being noticed, you have to create a lot of little things to do which are visible on-line. Especially if you are new and don't have a long well-known history of b

Yes, they may feel they need to fund more research to stay ahead of the competition and keep the contracts they are currently getting rather than lose them. Maybe the future profits from staying ahead of the pack (or close) are worth more t

It might be feasible to assess a single contribution, but not feasible to assess all of them. To make this KPI work, maintainers would have to publish an objective quality rating for each accepted commit. That's an enormous amount of w

They use “can’t”, meaning “can not”. Unable. That’s misleading, and no doubt intentional, to create more drama. The more accurate word would be “haven’t”, or “haven’t yet”, but that’s not alarming enough.

In my county, about 245,000 cases before the vaccines arrived, multiplied by 4.8, leads to 35% of the entire county's population having had Covid-19 by then (Feb 2021)

And using a different interval for every tick-mark. That's something I never considered looking out for before. What possible credential and/or experience could you have, to get this job at CNN and also create this graphic?

That risk has always been 90 days maximum loss of rent, by law in some places, so you could understand landlords calculating that happening maybe once every 5 years or so. And they could be careful in selecting tenants, so they had a way to

The largest fraction is the value of the land. The land is not more expensive because landlords own it, rather than homeowners. It's expensive because more people want to live on it, whether they own or rent. People want to live in cer

I think what you may be onto there, is that some of those people were not really your friends , in the sense you thought they were. The ones that don't come over anymore are the ones that think about it and decide they don't want

I think what has separated the policy around Covid, vs. say the flu, is the death rate. If the death rate were closer to the flu, or below some threshold that takes spread into account, the response would have been much different. If a bett

It doesn't seem to me that the dominant view here is that Ivermectin is ineffective, just that it has not yet been proven to be effective, for a certain definition of "proven". With time and stronger studies, that may well be

With 0.38 risk ratio, it may well be that it should be used everywhere (except for patients already advanced enough to need mechanical ventilation, as mentioned). I don't have a reference for this but I recently read it was basically u

Well it didn't belong to Spain either, which I imagine would still have it if the US had not "touched" it.

Remember that then, pre-jet-travel, the Philippines were very remote, and shipping including paper mail took weeks. It wouldn't have been an easy task to integrate into the USA, when looked at in 1946 or whenever. As a former colony it

I think spreading new thinking on treatments for a pandemic that is killing millions, might actually be "crucial". May turn out to be right, may turn out to be wrong, but we've already seen lots of "wrong" informati

Though Ive seen many people do this, and for the ones I kept in touch with, there were no repercussions. Caveat that this is in a dense area of high tech jobs so it would be difficult for a manager to have enough contacts to effect damage.

So it would make sense that Ball and Apple would need to find out who the seller was, from Amazon. Amazon at least knows where to send the checks, and likely a lot more about these businesses. What bothers me about Amazon is that they are a

For most shipments in the weight categories I use, USPS is the least expensive. It's as reliable as Fed Ex or UPS in my experience. I do go into the post office fairly regularly, and have a PO box as well. Everyone's nice enough,

The problem here is that by “approving” the drug, the FDA implies that it truly works. People will take it expecting improvement, but their time will be wasted and their hopes dashed. The approval process itself will lose credibility, and t

Certainly the case with the PCR test, because it is so sensitive. It can detect Covid fragments at such a low level that no symptoms would show and no adaptive immune response would arise. That's not enough Covid to generate memory and

That was my thought as well. Natural immune response should have more vectors of attack since all of the virus proteins are available to make antibodies for. As another comment mentioned though, the spike protein is unlikely to change much,

I think it is possible to be exposed to the virus and never need to build antibodies. Innate immune response, if robust, can fight off (or block) infection quickly enough that the adaptive immune response, never kicks in. Adaptive response
