  1. If there is so much money in providing treatments and medicines, why is it virtually EVERY doctor so strongly recommends diet and exercise?
  2. It was a type of form/fixture that collapsed, not a bridge. It was a construction accident, not a bridge collapse.
  3. I don't see much that looks disgusting, even the nasty green tea, seaweed and salted egg stuff looks good. Why do you want people to have to walk do walk so far? It's nice to be able to send your kid to the store down the block.
  4. Get a few ceiling fans and leave the windows open.
  5. Medication that mutilates/stops the development genitalia and breasts. From your link: "Investigators evaluated the changes in mental health over the first year of receiving puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones to see if they impacted depression, anxiety, and/or suicidality." = Wow, a short-term "study" of 104 kids, that's really strong. Do you even read this stuff?
  6. "Every single product of our daily consumption has been processed in some way..." since the beginning of man. Picking is a process, as is washing. The simple truth is that overall, people today suffer less hunger, are better nourished and live longer than at any point in the history of the world. "Better Things for Living...Through Chemistry"
  7. I just drove past there this afternoon about 13:00
  8. For the really high ceilings, I use a brother-in-law...
  9. I replaced all the tubes in our 30-year-old shop house with new LED and all I had to do was remove the starters from the cans.
  10. I don't know what the margin is on hardware, and I'm sure it varies significantly, but unless I'm missing something, assuming the 30% is revenue and $100 is the total: Costs of 5% of a $100 are $5 $5/$30 is ~17% so net margin would be 100-17 = 83% At 10% cost, net margin is 66% At 20% cost, net margin is 33% At 22.5% cost, net margin is 25%
  11. The article pretends that the bills are anti-LGBTQ, but in reality, as I understand, the bills are anti genital mutilation of children. If people support medically alerting children's breasts and genitalia, fine, but why can they not be honest about it?
  12. Million years if they make it the first ten minutes, after you get down off the ladder.
  13. That's a good point, but because the 30% is a fee/commission, and I think the other 70% is remitted, so I don't think it's considered revenue, but I'm not sure.
  14. I think some of the tubes work differently than others. I think for all the LED tubes you have to take the starter out.
  15. Which is a lot higher margin than hardware...
  16. Sorry, I was confused, I was thinking of Afghanistan.
  17. Apple's margin is about 25% Dude forgot about logistics, marketing, retailer margins and overhead.
  18. Did you see what happened at the Alaska Talks? Do you see this ending differently? The Chinese see magnanimity as weakness.
  19. I was talking about the movie....
