American government does more than anyone else. They provide the system with fuel by providing a sufficiently large base of price-insensitive customers that reasonable numbers don't have to be used for drug prices.

Your ad hominem attack is neither helpful nor civil. Furthermore, the idea it uses as a basis is false. "... In reality, actual DEM proposed legislation places controls on certain features that increase likelihood of successful mass-ki

Fully automatic weapons have been strictly controlled for decades. Adding controls to them would probably have an unimpressive effect, since legal fully automatic weapons have been used in either 2 or 3 crimes since 1934.

For reference, 300-350mrem is a decent estimate of your annual dose of radiation. If you fly a lot, smoke, or live in areas where the ground releases significant amounts of radon, your own annual dose can be twice that.

Just feels like sampling bias. As someone who likes to take cold showers (typically with 60-64F water), the thing that usually stops me is feeling sick. I think it's likely that a significant portion of attrition (19% after 90 days) wa

I saw a great example of this when I was looking at VA gun laws today. They have an exception structured as follows: Virginia law exempts from these requirements any firearms shows held in any town with a population of not less than 1,995 a

The best understanding of those painted markings is that they mean nothing until you find strong social conventions indicating otherwise. City norms will be passed as state laws, creating discrepancies in rural regions between the law and t

Or, at least, most of the people who thought their advertising strategies were worth mentioning spent almost nothing, relying rather on word of mouth. Those may be quite different things.

5G is by nature shorter range, which at least makes the surveillance harder to do and more targeted when it happens. But I can't say much for the protocol, having not done much with it.

Certainly not. Maybe a GP in a lower-paid practice, but NPs and PAs regularly make $60/hr ($1/min) across increasingly many specialties, to say nothing of MDs

Their computers are also matched with Microsoft's for the tallest screen (3:2) you can get, while also being pretty high quality. If you don't want 16:9, the only other options I'm aware of are the newest Dell XPS convertible

The particular non-fact is unremarkable, but the lack of inquisitiveness is off-putting. It falls down after not so many "why"s. You'd like to imagine a greater love of discovery in the people who are (hopefully) shepherding

Yeah, that's fair. My experience is the navy, which is mostly a safer-than-average industrial environment.

I wholeheartedly agree with the techniques others are recommending for improving the situation, but at the same time I think you should look for ways to cope with what you have as you make the transition. I would best be considered a mid-le

Theoretically there's a better expected value with the 401K, but that's not what almost anyone wants. People want a moderate upward trend in value with no chance of going under. An interesting place to see this is in groups of US

You're also underselling the intersections part, because getting traffic to intermix at intersections is incredibly easy at 20mph. And, what you've conceptually stated (no loss in capacity) has been empirically demonstrated. Final

Bottle deposits make me markedly less likely to recycle. Without them, it's a small amount of energy to bring the bottles back home to recycle, so I can pretend that I'm not generating waste. With deposits, I trash those and typic

I'd add to this: With abundant choices of carbs available, you can pretty much control weight gain based on which ones you consume. Sugar is first to go, followed by wheat, then corn, and at that point you're pretty much down to a

As a general rule, higher temperatures lead to atrophied snowmelt rivers because there's not as much accumulation. That's one of the contributing factors for water problems in a lot of Western (U.S.) areas.

Yes, Terry Gross is giving advice to be uncomfortably familiar if you try this on someone you've never seen before. She gets to do that because interviewing her is a pretense; the interviewee knows her by reputation, and she knows them
