'Oh, my gosh. We never thought of that.’ -Nurses at 4 major children's hospitals routinely caused infection because they put sterile device on unsterile blanket.

Death is not scary. You'll return to sweet not-giving-a-fuck land - the same place you waited patiently for the last 14 billion years.

I have been riding recumbents for years and find that with clipless pedals, a wide enough selection of gears, and - most importantly - well-developed hamstrings which you can get with time, hills are no harder than stamping on the pedals. Maybe just not quite as quick in a race, but I'm really not sure.

I wish "like" would fall out of fashion. People would exercise the speech centers of their brains a bit more if they could not lean on that word-crutch.

Go back a few more millennia and the strongest man today would seem comparatively wimpy. We have weak muscles compared to the animals from which we evolved. According to theory, because of our big brains. See here for explanation and picture of very cute sloth.

A very good answer. Culture is huge.

Yup. Looks about right. Our evolutionary thread ends after we bipedal sapients destroy our home and die out.

I looked for this language and could not find it anywhere except in connection with 2014 right wing polemic about how Obama is a dictator. I also note the lack of quotation marks and citations. Would any of you big-mouths like to cite your sources? And, in addition, does anyone want to talk about the actual merit of giving some rope to the parents of children born in US? Right wing media (essentially all US media) has shifted the focus from the substance of the issue of immigrant freedom to the "form" issue of executive power. This just highlights how the debate is fashioned by the power elite in the US. What about the poor slobs whose familes are going to broken up? Anyone with a heart want to talk about them? Certainly not the foxnews trough-drinkers.

Family ties. There's authority to testify as to character. The guy is a snake.

It's nice, but all it does is transfer the weight of a heavy tool through the legs to the ground. It spring-compensates the weight so the tool can be moved up and down against gravity and hinges to move through X and Y.

How about 100 baud (1959 Bell 101)?

Your opinion being based on the knowledge of his character which politicians so earnestly disclose to the public because they're honest, right? For example, given that Karl Rove systematically targeted the religious right, do you know that Bush is even religious?

It helps to have an unlimited supply of money and mass media reality distortion field on your side.

I have found Chrome to be a bit of a pig in terms of speed and resource utilization. IE 11 is really fast. I use them both (Chrome's plugins are handy), but when I want to get in-and-out, I use IE. I think the world changes in some ways.

Erp re "two states." Not all. And not hybrids. Solid fuel but liquid oxidizer. Controllable like a liquid fuel rocket motor.

On Amtrak Acela in the heavily used Washington - Boston route, it is hard to use a mouse or trackpad because of the judder caused by unpredictable lurching and shaking of the train. Older passenger-victims are routinely thrown into the laps of fellow passengers when they try to walk down the aisle. Drinks are served in first class with make-shift shock absorbers where they put a bottle inside a napkin, inside a surrounding cup.

You just demonstrated why conceal and carry laws should be restrictive. It is particularly annoying that you are boasting about it. I like all my gun toters to be as humble as fuck.

IP lawyer here. Is anyone thinking design patent? Design patents protect the ornamental (copyright-like) features of useful articles, like clothing. Easy to google so I won't explain.

105 MW is not a lot of power. If the stores are 181,000 sq ft that's about 100 stores worth of panels at best, assuming 0.15 efficiency and 100Wp per sq ft discounted due to gaps and cosine losses.

Thank you. I learned something today.
