Also, a significant number of doses are thrown away in the US because they still come in 5-dose vials. Just shipping single dose would prevent a lot of scenarios where giving one person a booster means throwing away the other four doses in

There was a lot of overlap between people with each of those opinions. My recollection is the same as yours, though - the motivation was more preservation and the idea that "the good stuff" was now a limited resource that could ne

The regulations are finally starting to acknowledge that. You're allowed to vent propane, CO2, and a few other refrigerants now.

Technically, yes - "de minimis releases" are allowed because there's no practical way to avoid them. This is the small amount of refrigerant burped out to purge hoses, for instance.

The lake which the Bellagio fountains are part of is filled from a private well on the property. It does not pull from the mountain aquifers or from Lake Mead, but from a shallow and rather polluted aquifer underneath the Strip. That aquife

They already are. At least so far, moderation on active subs and the low ranking of inactive / nothing but spam subs has kept this mostly in check.

And ironically, good security hygiene makes you look like a bad actor. While this "verification" is intrusive and unreasonable - I'm not defending it - often the root is creating an account from a VPN, or with minimal browser

You are making an assumption that all of our brains work the same way. From my own (neurodivergent) experience, IFT doesn't always work the way it's "supposed to."

Heat pump water heaters mostly draw from room air.

And Google/Alphabet _really_ doesn't like anyone talking about caste. Because then they'd have to acknowledge they have a problem.

There was a near miss of heat tile damage from a foam strike very early in the STS program - STS-27 but it was on a classified military payload flight and the whole thing was ignored. I wouldn't quite say "covered up" but the

For particulates, media filters actually get more efficient as they get dirtier. They also get harder to blow air through, which means less air volume with normal fans or higher energy consumption with VFD fans. I'm simplifying a bit,

Timing belt is the only expensive thing on that list (because of labor) and very few American market vehicles use timing belts anymore. The market has gone almost entirely to timing chains these days.

Excluding the most expensive wear items is misleading though.

Is there really that much service revenue for modern ICE cars that isn't stuff BEV cars need too? Modern powertrains are pretty bulletproof, 10k oil changes and 30k air filters will get you to 100k miles. "Tune ups" aren&#x27

Most of the cellular connection CPAP machines also have a SD card slot and will put the full logs on it if you put a card in.

This applies for any media filter. VFD drive on the motor can keep airflow constant and increase energy usage instead, but for most fans the increase in static pressure means less air volume. Heavily loaded filters can also have more air by

MRI isn't ionizing radiation, so much lower risk profile there. You may be thinking of CT scans?

In the US, many "concierge" doctors (the ones who don't take insurance) will order this type of scan if you want it.

Which means it does work, as a malpattern. If your customers can't get through the bullshit to cancel that reduces churn. (Though this ignores the consumer-side counter, which is sort of a malpattern but IMO justified when the company

Very lean eng orgs that rely heavily on offshoring. Every software engineer at my work, I know what they do and they're important to our core tasks. But probably 95% of our actual dev is done by offshore project teams, so the eng org i

The Silent 700 paper is the same stuff as thermal receipt printers we're all familiar with nowadays - I use thermal fax paper in mine. I understand that in the old days the paper was nastier than what we have now, though. Plus most wor

Just looked at CircleCI recently. Great product, but the price difference between them and GHA was absolutely jaw dropping.

Also, looking at this it seems like GitHub isn't doing the common SaaS thing of just lying on their status page. Many providers, both internal and external, would look a lot worse if they had honest status pages.

Time based oil changes (as a backup to mileage) in gasoline vehicles are mostly to address oil contamination from the engine not getting hot enough to boil off fuel and combustion byproducts in the oil. It's a rough heuristic for drive

Also the blame. On prem outage? IT management is in the hot seat for a fix. AWS outage? Well, major us-east-1 outages make the news so the blame is more diffuse. And even outside of that, it's much harder for anyone internally to blame
