Why not just use body fat % measurements?

Always check to see if a place near you will accept furniture items as a donation. (Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.) If nothing else you get a tax credit for the donation.

The bandwidth is improving. If they could fix that 240000ms ping it would at least be bearable.

Can we get a citation for the toxicity of ABS? My Google-fu is failing me as I can only find articles that say the fumes can cause minor irritation when inhaled or in contact with the eyes.

You forgot to add in all those tie fighters chasing them that also tried to make it through an asteroid field.

Could also be a holdover from using cents. I have always seen the cents symbol used after the number so 70¢ is a shorter way to write $0.70

In the US you must provide a valid photo ID when checking in to validate your age.

I think going to the moon was a good choice.

Just add the hostile take over expansion called Risk.

Just to clarify there are toxins that will bioaccumulate such as heavy metals, however simply including meat/dairy/eggs in your diet will not cause this.

This is called phase shifting(1) adding a large enough inductor to all of your resistive loads will cause your power factor(2) to drop. Unfortunately for you the power company bills you for your apparent power useage which takes into account both the real and imaginary parts of your power consumption, it measures your shifted loads.

It has to do with the mucus in the nasal cavity not draining properly do to the lack of gravity. Most of your sense of taste is actually due to smell which is reduced when you have a stuffy nose. There are probably other contributing factors, but this is one I remember hearing.

This should be the standard, but the exception is always going to be multi switch circuits with multiple switches controlling the same light.

This is true, that is why I only eat the "skins" of modern pennies if I don't have any old ones. The inside is where all that nasty zinc comes from.

Considering that the magic 8-ball has a patient, why not? (Granted it is actually an interesting patent since it solved the problem of air bubbles obscuring the answers on the answer die) https://www.google.com/patents/US3119621

Just goes to show there is no such thing as a free lunch, you have to pay for it with information.

Mold has been using penicillin to kill bacteria for a very long time. Resistance to it has been developing right alongside it, but it is only in the past 75 years that we have increased the pressure on bacteria to favor resistance.

How does paying bills and credit card debt mute the effect of the tax break?

At least the ideas are put on record and able to be accessed by someone who could see it through once the patent has expired, which fortunately is a reasonable amount of time.

I would think that having a resistance an antibiotic meant that a bacteria was losing out on a different advantage. This is why resistant bacteria only exist in places where having the resistance, hospitals etc., is more beneficial than what it lost to get the resistance.

For example if a cheetah developed a larger body at the cost of speed. It wouldn't survive as well unless there was a benefit to being larger but slower.

That explains why the search/filtering for products on Target's site was so terrible when I recently had to buy an item from there.

But by now the rate of creation should equal the rate of decay so even though "new" carbon is being made the amount of carbon doesn't really change.

Edit: Other replies are better. Just going to add that if we create a new element that is stable it will be big news by itself.

Doing some quick math the used car would have to be valued at 70% of the new car's value to make the monthly payments equal. Edit: Also going to point out that you will lose about 10% of the new cars value just by driving it home and it will have a higher depreciation rate then the used car.

As scary as that sounds, I feel it is better than the mindless landmines laying around from past wars. In theory, when the war is done you could hit the disarm or recall button unlike conventional mines.

Just going to leave the reference to the book here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle

Edit: Didn't see gumby's post since I was reading over the article before posting.

While I love the idea of a crystal ring of any kind, metal beats it in two cases:

1. Crystals can shatter if stuck at the wrong angle (unlikely but possible).

2. Unlike a gold band the crystal ring can't be resized later in life.

Just curious, what was the size of the city/town that this scout troop was in?

Yes, caffeine found in coffee and tea is a pesticide

Edit: missed an e

I agree the current phrasing is at best easy to misunderstand at worst misleading. Another phrase like mchannon is suggesting or perhaps "No longer uses just carbon" would be more acceptable.
