The big exception to this I've seen: The functioning bit of software was written in an oddball language that was already niche decades ago and the pool of developers who are competent to work on such a codebase is…
> You do not print a lower receiver compatible with standard parts. I've personally seen 3d-printed polymer Glock frames and AR-15 lowers. I've personally seen them stand up to sustained automatic fire. You're not going…
Correct. Other countries regulate the pressure-bearing parts instead. It probably started off with a safety rationale (those parts are generally proof tested), but those parts ALSO tend to be the ones that are more…
There are plenty of 3D printed guns that are good for more than one shot. The classic examples are 3D printed Glock-style frames and AR-15 lower receivers. As far as US gun laws are concerned, those parts are the…
There's a lot of people out there who blame their epidurals for lower back pain and the like, but the evidence for causality is not there.
If it were as simple as waving a magic wand and fixing the epidural or bringing on the anesthetic gas, we wouldn't have this problem. The consensus seems to be shifting more towards converting to general anesthesia…
It's not as if people are pushing random drugs into epidurals. There's a small number of drugs that are commonly used and the differences come down to selecting the classes of drugs to be used, the particular drugs from…
The problem that The Retrievals deals with is epidurals failing during cesarians, which, they're quick to emphasize, is painful, open abdominal surgery. The not-so-simple solution is to convert to general anesthesia…
There's selection bias. High risk deliveries tend to start at or convert to cesarian at the first sign of trouble.
You can pay half that on eBay at the moment.
I downvoted the original comment because grammar pedantry adds nothing here. But if you're going to correct a pedant, you've got to be right. You're applying a test you don't understand and you messed it up. "I" is the…
Even those annual blood tests can be problematic. When I first started getting annual blood tests there were two values in particular that were consistently elevated. A bunch more tests and some specialist visits later…
I did an undergraduate electrical engineering degree some years ago. Building a CPU much like this one was the final project in our second digital design class. The difference here from the usual approach, as they point…
I wasn’t talking about military parades.
In my experience as an American, most of the parades I'm personally familiar with are organized by local groups rather than the government. Maybe you can read some ideology into the American Legion marching with flags,…
> We're not anti-gun. Just anti the "only used explicitly for killing people" kind of gun. That doesn't square with Canadian classifying tasers (purely defensive, non-lethal) and anti-materiel rifles as prohibited…
With very few exceptions, you can’t acquire handguns in Canada anymore. They’ve also banned most semiautomatic rifles. Maybe Canadian public opinion isn’t anti-gun, but the current government seems to be.
There's this notion from the Supreme Court case Burdick v. United States (1915) that accepting a pardon is an implicit admission of guilt. Therefore, a person can refuse a pardon. There isn't anything in the decision to…
Clocking in and out serves little purpose if you're salaried.
I wear Lycra, ride a funny-looking carbon road bike, and average about 3,000 miles a year. In college, I rode a beater bike everywhere for transportation instead of owning a car. I’ve never experienced that kind of…
I recently had an experience with a family member's Ubuntu LTS machine where it was stuck on an old release, /etc/apt/sources.list needed to be edited because of Ubuntu's obnoxious habit of breaking old repositories,…
I think I'm probably coming at this from a different perspective than IT people. I've worked on IoT products where we've deployed fleets of thousands of devices without user interfaces placed all over the world in…
I think IT departments also tend to underestimate the risk they pose when they manage machines. Look at Stryker, where intruders used Intune to wipe all the company's devices. The ability to do that shouldn't exist, but…
Don't. The USB C port is poorly designed and will break at the drop of the hat, leaving you unable to charge the thing. And the company won't do anything to help you.
From the manual: > The Improvement Factor is an average of the Voltage Output and the THD output. It gives you a factor of how much the AC power is improved by the P20. Which also doesn't make much sense to me. So the…
