My dentist has been on me for years that flossing is important for your health for more than just teeth. He explained to me recently the role it plays in toughening up your gums (essentially callusing your gums from the…
I tried Multiple's service out in an early beta preview, and was impressed with the flexibility of the initial product. Customer service and support was very good as well. The current product roadmap will be adding a…
Fortunately I passed the stone in about 5 days. That's the best possible outcome as painful as that can be. I started the lemon juice about 3 days into the event and I do think it helped already in making the stone a…
I got my first and so far only (fingers crossed!) kidney stone five years ago. At that time I started drinking lemon juice with hot water to start each day before consuming anything else, and it has so far kept any…

Actually, this is the case in some Asian countries as well including parts of Japan and Indonesia.
My mother unfortunately passed away from this horrible disease many years ago when I was not yet 10 years old. Even more unfortunate is that life expectancy once one is diagnosed with glioblastoma today is not any…
Reasonable points, but just because technologies have failed in the past is not predictive of what will come in the future. It's often times hard for us to observe progress in technology development, particularly when…
In this particular case the launch was from Vandenberg in California and they do not yet have permit clearances to land the first stage back on land here. However, as others have said the barge is key for other reasons…
