  1. Exactly, it was the fixture that fell, and I do not think it was very high or supporting anything when it fell. I drove through that jobsite yesterday afternoon and the fixture and on blocks, not on top of the columns. Unless there was another one on the same site I missed. We were coming back from the "Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok" mall. Drove by one side in going in the morning and the other coming back in the afternoon.
  2. I meant open the windows at night. Do you not have screens? I use air conditioning 24/7 now, but I worked in a Thai factory for twenty years, and I lived in Florida for ten years without AC. With the windows open and a nice ceiling fan that keeps the air turned, it's hot, but it is not stifling.
  3. What are some of them? I am also against "breast augmentation and rhinoplasty for those under age 18." except in extraordinary circumstances. I doubt very much "...the anti-mutilation crowd" crowd is small. If it were, I think the pro-mutilation crowd would be honest about it, and let the people decide rather that ramming it through the courts.
  4. Okay opioids, but they absolutely improve the lives for tens of millions. I so not see a solution in your response, unless you want to lower that cost of medication at the expense of innovation. Almost no one pays retail for medication in the US.
  5. That's what I thought. It was a pretty simple question that only asked for a number, if you actually know, why not just say?
  6. I'm no fan of the pharmaceutical industry, but which medicines kill thousands that don't save millions? In any event, what do you think the solution is, government takeover?
  7. I always find construction disasters hilarious as well.
  8. 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?
  9. If there is so much money in providing treatments and medicines, why is it virtually EVERY doctor so strongly recommends diet and exercise?
  10. It was a type of form/fixture that collapsed, not a bridge. It was a construction accident, not a bridge collapse.
  11. 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.
  12. Get a few ceiling fans and leave the windows open.
  13. 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?
  14. "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"
  15. I just drove past there this afternoon about 13:00
  16. For the really high ceilings, I use a brother-in-law...
  17. 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.
  18. 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%
