Test strips for fentanyl are about $1-2 per strip, and many other test kits for other common compounds are also pretty cheap. I think the issue is the availability and knowledge (how to test properly etc.).

Ironically, wasn't that one of the reasons people speculated during that process as to why he chose Miami, no income tax? Its obviously not some sweetheart deal but he could have formed a super team in any city that was willing to pay

I doubt that number has much to do with leave benefits because from what I understand those benefits have only increased. I think it would be much more cultural and generational.

And in fact I'd say medical coding is a boarder line predatory practice. There are a number of companies that specialize in padding / inflating medical codes against insurance companies for hospitals (or fighting them etc). It is

Not a doctor but someone who was in a similar boat but to me it sounds like that dosage might have been too high, or you weren't taking it regularly enough. I found that once I was able to negotiate with my doctor to a lower prescripti

What? You said generally this is what is true; generally, it is not true. That is all I'm saying. You're generalization is wrong on a factual level. Continuing, dogma1138 has done plenty to discuss differences between human and pr

This is just plain categorically wrong. All primates DO NOT eat high carb diets. Its not both just an over generalization because each species of primate have different diets (as well as regional diets) but many of them will eat nuts, meat,

I just got back from a long sabbatical in Spain and 1 through 3 I'm with you. Why do people just accept flys in their house? Why don't the windows have screens? I don't think I saw a single screen on a window the whole time.

I think this analogy/thought experiment breaks down because currently Google is not the water provider and instead has actively been sitting out of the prison and not playing the game, thus some amount of disapproval is shown from goog

Use the Fidelity app to take a photo of the check. I use Fidelity checking for withdrawaling foreign currency too. Easily the best banking product I’ve ever used and I can’t imagine using anyone else.

This is going to be a totally anecdotal post: In my twenties I had the same problem when waking up, slept 7-8 hours, worked out, good job, super healthy diet but woke up exhausted, miserable, and borderline depressed 9/10 days. It took

In fact I think the psychology behind celebrity endorsements and advertising is particularly interesting and there is a lot to talk about. Unfortunately, this topic, audio quality, is extremely subjective, yes, like someone mentioned in ano

Yeah but the other half of my point was if you want something that "sounds good" you can spend 1/4 of the price of Beats for similar ability. Its a brand effect. I personally use a pair of 15 dollar JVC marshmallow earbuds th

I'm sorry but their sound quality is pretty abysmal for the price; there is a reason they're lampooned. I agree that a lot of the headphone market is poor but 20 minutes of googling will get you some good headphones for a decent p

I describe modafinil as one of the best cups of coffees you'll ever have, but it doesn't leave much more of an effect than that; imo it is mostly mental. Things can become very clear in your head and you will often be very awake f

I was just thinking about something like this from the above comments. It reminds me of the cup washers they use at bars that moves cups under hot water and then to a place to dry. Both would be an interesting piece in a home kitchen.

Depends on what you take the word efficient to mean, even at the top end I don't find medical care very efficient. Basic procedures can be very expensive for my insurance company. I'll define efficient here as results to cost. In

This is a ridiculous comparison where you're cherry picking data. You're comparing something that is loaded with fat to something that is mostly water (the salad bit). Compare the slice of pizza to a can of beans from Walmart ( ht
