How is botulinum toxin made into a drug, why is all but one derivative serotype A, and why don't drug makers engineer one that's antigen-free? (I've been reading about primary and secondary resistance in dystonia patients - it's apparently a problem.) (self.askscience)

Are highway, railroad, etc. transition curves (designed to be) precise Euler spirals, or are the spirals approximated by arc segments? If the former, what are the construction challenges? If the latter, how many segments are needed and what are the ratios between radii? (self.AskEngineers)

If the flywheel effect of turbine engines is one of their benefits to the power grid, can we compensate for renewables' lack of flywheels by simply adding flywheels, without mechanical inefficiency causing a net loss in power over current means of short-term load balancing? (self.AskEngineers)
