earplugs and eyemask. just be careful with earplugs on an airplane as the cabin pressure changes frequently and your ear plugs may not be able to adjust

poor regulation is different than no regulation

Funny that you pick one of the only probiotic products to get an "F" rating from labdoor.com

the smell, or lack of smell, is more a function of the variety and how ripe it is. i doubt it has anything to do with what type of pesticides were used or even if any pesticides were used. conventionally grown apples smell like nothing because they are usually some breed like red delicious that is grown for their…

no more frustrating than it is now. if anything, it will be considerably less frustrating since Visa is vastly more popular than amex. I don't think this is really going to change anything for Costco or their customers. Some business members will be upset because they like Amex, but odds are they have a visa business…

by going with an exclusive like this, they locked in an ultra low rate with Visa. Much lower than they would ever be able to negotiate if they accepted non-visa credit cards.

lubricant keeps moving parts from seizing. wd-40 is to unseize parts you failed to lubricate. important difference.

Plenty familiar with certificates and CA's. Not particularly familiar with how windows uses the certificate manager application though.

the bulletproof coffee thing may give it a run for its money in terms of unscientific b.s.

It all depends on the manufacturer. Better yet, all depends on where the manufacturer sources the ingredients for your whey protein and fish oil. Is the brand name on the bottle willing to tell you that? Call up their customer support and ask. If they can't or won't tell you where they get it and trace it back to…

Some nutrients are difficult to obtain through diet alone, especially if you are on a restricted diet. Some theraputic drugs rob your body of vital nutrients as a side effect. Nobody is saying you shouldn't eat healthy, but some times people need a little more, hence the "supplement".

there is some data to support this idea but there are too many variables for it to be a reliable rule of thumb. it often ends up being the logical fallacy of 'appeal to nature.' i'm not saying don't eat local or don't go for organic. just don't think it that a higher nutrient density is an inherent property that food.

turn jar upside down, smack it on the bottom a couple times, turn back over and open. don't need some silly battery powered gadget.

if your PCP doesn't have access to it, you may want to seek another provider. maybe you are far outside a major city or something. I guess it might be in lower supply in some areas.

it was developed in the mid-70's but not available until 1995. So it's been around for 20 years, not 40.

in my experience, non-christian religious people are way less likely to try to beat someone over the head with their religious beliefs and judge you for not drinking their flavor of koolaid. most christians I come across will first and foremost let you know without any doubt that their deity is the most defining thing…

agree with all except the last line. always better to donate to goodwill anything that is usable but didn't find a new home. no need to throw it away.

When costs drop, prices will usually drop as companies try to use the margin to gain more market share by competing on price. It can quickly become a race to the bottom. It will be an interesting test of how strong of a hold the biggest airlines have on the market.

I learned C++ first then C, then assembly, then java, then stuff like php, html and sql. Python was well after my time in school. C/C++ is a good foundation for all of them.

good for you for recognizing it and for sharing it publicly. The underlying problem is our society has a need to immediately categorize people based on first impression. I think it's a survival based instinctual reaction to quickly identify threats. As humans, we naturally fear what we do not know. I'm not saying this…
