I don't think that's true. Even a cursory search turns up, as the first response, this: NIH has received almost $4.9 billion to date to fund important COVID-19 research on diagnostic tests, vaccines, and treatments. More than $940

It's true that doctors should listen to patients, and that diagnosing medical problems, especially psychological problems, can be very difficult. However, your post has a very "we don't need x-rays, we can just tell the bone

Continuing with the dev bio theme, I'd suggest kicking off a mid-life crisis with a decent microscope, petri dishes, and maybe some planeria or something else to study.

I'm about 55 now, and if I was high school or college age again, this is what I'd study. There is huge potential in future biological developments.

It seems like it would be way cheaper and more energy efficient to have something long and thin, like a snake or a centipede (with wheels or tracks) that can just roll up and down between crop rows. And, if you're claiming it an auton

The feature that stands out the most to me is that the black "boom or bust" line that shows prosperity/recession is effectively never at 100. It crosses the line (going up or down) a bunch of times, but is almost never on the

I agree with Cory on his points about enshittification, but I think it should just be called bait-and-switch.

I really like the T. Herman Zweibel signature at the bottom. He was by far my favorite recurring character. Not the Onion, but a list of H. T. Zweibel articles: https://muckrack.com/t-herman-zweibel/articles

Yeah, it seems like a fairly small thing until you're in rain, and the wipers are going crazy over a few drops of rain, or are too slow during a heavy downpour. You're constantly interacting with this awkward setup to change the r

I drove a Subaru Solterra for a while, and I really enjoyed it, and it felt like a traditional car, not like a crappy tablet with a (pretty good) car bolted to it. Except the Solterra's range was kind of short and charging was more pai

If the US goes for an invasion, I think we'd be way better off invading Baja California. Spice must flow! That is, we must keep up with demand from the Alameda-Weehawken burrito tunnel [0]? [0] https://idlewords.com/200

The windshield wipers are anannoyingly bad design. If you want to alter the wiper's setting and if you don't press the little wheel-button just right or a few seconds too late then you change the radio volume or station, depending

In the presentation it talked about college, even a short amount, can give better outcomes. But the presentation was more of an overview of the issue, and I don't think it's fair to argue that, because it doesn't go deeply in

I don't think that "fault", which I take as implying blame , had anything to do with the presentation. I interpreted it as very neutral in that respect. Maybe I'm misinterpreting it? I do think it touches on how everyon

I could be wrong, but I believe that anyone, even without a license, can use them to listen to ham bands at anytime. You can not use them to transmit, unless there is some sort of emergency.

Autobytel used to be a great option to go directly to a fleet sales guy. I'd check them out, although you should definitely do your own research on this. used to work for them a long time ago.

I'd think that Uber would just hire the wheelchair accessible taxis directly from the taxi company. Maybe the taxi company charged 3x or more for the ride, but it's still cheaper for Uber.

I think unit pricing is already law in California, or at least lots of products have a price per unit. It's in smaller text on the price tag on the shelf, not on the items themselves.

I don't know about the 'always' thing... In the US, the Republicans have been solidly anti-immagramt for a while now. I think a few other countries have had a conservative anti-immagrant platform as well. I think it's a

I went to a latin jazz show this weekend, and Arturo Sandoval played the flower song, from Carmen. He improvised a few blue notes into the melody, it was subtle, and the effect was masterful. I wishef that they could release to music to You

Just a suggestion, it's easy to capture command or program output with xsel, just by piping into it, for e.g.: 'ls | grep -i "whatever" | xsel -b'. It is common for me and I have aliases set up for 'ls=ls -lah&

No, not at all. But it was a while ago, safety laws weren't enforced as heavily, and we were young and felt indestructible.

Now that I think about it, an easy test could've comparing the skin of people who do/don't regularly swim in chlorinated pools. I'd think that the chlorine would pretty much nuke any surface microbiome. So the comparison

I agree. Plus, there also simple things like plain cirulation. Skin is fed by blood, and all the various juices that sluce up from below. It seems to my very uneducated understanding that this would have a far greater impact overall.
