Is it too late to eliminate this nomenclature of "filters" being used to describe all the Hipstamatic-type effects that so many love these days? It drives me up the wall. Not just because every other amateur photo is subjected to these effects, but because people insist on calling them "filters".

Any decent vet should give you the option of filling prescriptions at a different pharmacy if you want. If they don't offer, then ask them. Some drugs really are only formulated for pets, though. For these, there are no equivalents you can buy at a regular pharmacy.

My god, that's a good idea. I would go out of my way to shop at a store that did that.

Maybe a lot of people just like it better. Not all gains are monetary. For one, it's faster (if you know what you're doing). I gain time not just in the store, but also when I get home, because I bag my groceries the way I want instead of the idiotic way that most cashiers do it.

In what way does the trachea help you to swallow? Either you have it mixed up with the esophagus, or I completely missed a quirk of biology. Does it somehow help move the food along by shifting intrathoracic pressures? I can't even begin to make up a way that it would work. Not trying to be insulting, but please…

It would work in a pinch. However, it's your own cells, so I'd lean toward autotransplant if you wanted the best possible term, even though it was made on an artificial scaffold. To me, the difference is that it makes more sense to say it was "grown" rather than "built".

Looks pretty sweet and I'm totally getting one, but how do they tell you the time again? I see some numbers, but nothing that's really, like, a time.

This is also my question of the moment.

The economist/mathematician/statistician/adjuster's answer:

Its other main purpose is to bring inhaled debris and dead cells up from the lungs. There are a few different cell types that line the trachea and the lower airways: One is equipped with microscopic cilia (hairs, basically) that always beat in the upward direction, and the other main type secretes mucus. So anything…

The technical terminology would be an autotransplantation (from yourself), as opposed to an allotransplant (from another person) or xenotransplant (from another species).

Yeah, but why do that when you can use it to help telemarketers sell more junk?

I guess I don't intend to stop anyone from learning, but there are so many ways you can get fooled, and it takes so long to even feel relatively safe.

Spore print is about as far as my knowledge goes. What I was trying to get across was Goggles only IDs things visually, through pictures. Hence, there's no way it would ever be able to ID a mushroom, no matter how good it gets. You need more than just visual info to do it. A reader totally naive to the situation might…

Goggles wouldn't work on mushrooms. There are some instances where the only way to know poisonous from safe is by doing a spore print. Two completely different types could look the same in every other way. I suppose Goggles could narrow it down to those two, which would give you enough info to stay away from either.

The author of this post is the one doing the implying; the original source makes no such implication, as it shouldn't.

This has to do with hipsters how?

Sounds kind of fishy. While it's an interesting hypothesis, it's a huge stretch to go from "pruney fingers are neurally mediated" to "pruney fingers evolved as a response to improve grip on wet surfaces". A bit more than I'd expect serious scientists to make, really.

I agree with jdale; there aren't many isoosmotic solutions out there for use to adapt to, so it would be reasonable that if this were a neurally-mediated reflex, an isotonic imbalance could be used as the trigger.

Changing it doesn't make it meaningless, it just means the users have to agree to it again. You can't just change it without asking anybody.
