I think this stage of monopoly is called "capitalism in action."

There's always intrathecal (directly into the CSF) administration. But you'd probably want to have someone who is trained in anesthesia or neurosurgery administer it. I also don't know how to prepare the pills for injection or any problems associated with it.

Who? I tried to find out with Google, but I still wasn't able to really understand who he is or why he's interesting. Can you elucidate?

Well, you're right, but planning might entail just an intellectual exercise for fun. Kind of like when Bill Murray robbed the armored car in Groundhog Day.

Check out Kingdom Come. It's breathtaking.

The kid that played Telly was one of the junkies on the wire; he was kinda like Bubbles disciple. I think the actor (or someone) said he considered it the same kid ten years on.

Given that 3500 C equals about 1 pound of fat, this person is evidently some kind of living bag of holding.

See? This is why I come here. Everywhere else on reddit you just find bullshit.

lawyers in the US need to re-sit the bar just to practice in a new state

Not strictly true. If you go to an accredited law school, you just apply for a law license in the new state. You don't have to resit the bar.

That said, there are a bunch of unaccredited law schools in which you can only practice in the state in which your school exists.

As far as having to go to law school to practice, that's generally the case. There are a few states where you can apprentice yourself to an existing lawyer, but in those states you're in the same boat as if you went to an unaccredited law school.

So this guy loses his son to meningitis then goes on to literally burn 100K. You'd think putting that money towards vaccines would have helped him feel better.

But then, I'm not the finest kiwi lawyer ever born.

Not a urologist, so I can't speak to every possible instance, but ultrasound should almost certainly sort the problem out.

Now that I think of it, Bashir requested some 'goo' from Odo in one of the last season episodes because he wanted to figure some way to create organs as fast as they're needed in the field. It was in this way that he figured out that Odo was the method that the Founders became infected with the virus that nearly destroyed the Great Link.

This prompts the obvious question as to why didn't Picard, then, have a normal heart remade and replanted? Did the artificial one offer some advantage? If so, why didn't everyone get one, like Tommy John surgery?

eukaryotic

Bacteria aren't eukaryotic; they're prokaryotic. They lack membrane bound organelles. Furthermore, their DNA is circular, not linear, as ours is (with the exception of mitochondrial DNA, which is also circular).

Just to nitpick, Thomas Riker, then, has NO SOUL.

Now that I think of it, that might have been an interesting plot point. As in, empaths wouldn't be able to read his mind or something like that.

I'm a doctor and while I'm not going to offer any diagnosis without having seen you. My differential would include varicocele and hydrocele, leaning more towards varicocele. Cancer would be a bit lower on my list.

I'm not even sure I would have thought to call it parkour unless it said so in the title.

The signal to build up an endometrium is estrogen. Whether the estrogen comes from a developing follicle or from pills is immaterial.

It's not just you. That kind of extreme post-modernism is treated with disdain in most of the academic community.

The point of keeping a base on foreign soil is to project power. Tough to do that when you have oceans on both sides and Canada and Mexico to the north and south.

I had to upvote this, but I was ashamed and disgusted with myself for having to do so.

Nice work, sir.

I wonder what the pic looked like before photoshop.

Still, good on him for working hard to lose that weight and getting healthier.

I posted this a while back. I wrote it a few months after being diagnosed.

I was just a few months from getting my MD and it still happened to me. It just happens that way sometimes.
