So does Virginia have a age limit on the term of the fetus that this device can help quantify better?

Many things aren't medically necessary, but are medically advantageous. I'm sure in many cases an x-ray can suffice, but an MRI is performed because it's more detailed. Why don't all xrays use mammography film when mammography film is more detailed?

Well, technically couldn't the metal be reused for another part after it is melted down to an ingot?

I don't think it's that high, otherwise catalytic converters would run about $1000 brand new.

The only thing I can think of is that this device is vastly superior in resolution compared to an external one, based on the comment below about high risk pregnancies. If the state has a law about how late in the term an abortion can take place, the high resolution can help determine the age of the fetus and also…

How is a woman's consent not required? Does the law mandate roving bands of abortion doctors to grab women off the street without warning? I know most medical procedures required "informed consent".

Oh, I know they were. But they are trying to cop to a lesser crime and explain the power failure wasn't their fault, but an "accident". As for the oil: [en.wikipedia.org]

Some people don't like their families.

Kyle, I think you misread the article. They didn't insulate the wires with oil. The insulators have oil in them, to help with arcs and arc flash, which the thieves drained, which then resulted in the explosion. The thieves have said as part of their argument that they weren't there to steal wire that they: "...had…

Well, if he fried his beans, wouldn't that technically remove him from the gene pool?

Wallets are usually kept in the pants pockets. Some people sweat. Wallet gets moist with sweat. Sweat conducts electricity. Card is active.

The point of the cargo plane was to have it moving, and not stationary and/or moving slowly, like a sub.

He was also tased, for some strange raisin.

Met matt at the gallery shows and also kite surfing. Great human being, and certainly a shining example of the kind of DNA Gizmodo was whipped up from.

I was worried this was real, then noticed nothing coming into NJ. With Earle literally a few miles away and Port Leonardo literally a military rail line away, if these maps were real, then Earle would be on there. How many other 2+ mile long piers out to sea are there?

I hate when educated people use that tired old "We believed the Earth was flat" garbage. As long as humans have had eyes and could move, we knew that wasn't so.

Most people who blame autism on vaccines point to the mercury in the shots, yet mercury has been removed from most vaccines and autism rates continue to climb.

Was it the battery or the charger? The charger should have protected the wall, but the charger would be directly touching the plate, and could send a short into the outlet itself through the plug prongs to cause an arc, which does have explosive force.

No, Dr. MCCarthy, Mommy Science-tit, now thinks that the virii in the vaccines cause autism, and will only vaccinate children if they are removed.

I agree. The description there makes it seem like one of those old movie shots where someone gets a shot, and through a series of fades, regresses or progresses from something in the span of 30 seconds. One day he's "fine" and the three days later is in a corner banging his head on a wall like a feral child.
