    Fructose mixed with glucose, not sucrose (the same typo is in several comments here). Sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose linked together. When corn starch is processed, th…

    The immunoglobulin is administered proportional to body weight, ideally with most of it injected near the site of the bite. So one administration, but not necessarily one shot.

    Given the political will, that problem is straightforward to address with the permitting.

    You are arguing about accounting jargon. The card has to be tracked, the entries that track it fall under the label "liability".

    It's not really considered an import if a person is looking at all of the changes. They would just need a clear license from their users. (an import is when there isn't complete re…

    With logarithmic perception, it's about a 50% reduction in sound energy. My battery mower is quiet enough that I don't feel terribly rude mowing at twilight.

    My buddy's teenager has a collection of old systems, sort of does it as a hobby. I am not informed, but I guess they don't pay high for stuff.

    Probably the better way to look at it is that the finance charges are built into the price.

    Do you think there is any way to convince you to value a broader community of people?

    It's not just a sit and ignore thing, this will hit design guidelines that factor into future project funding. For example, a few years ago they replaced the bridge over a river ju…

    I have an Ego pushmower. It takes like 2/3 of a charge to mow my lawn, with a 4 year old 5 amp hour battery. I'm not saving money over gas, but I'm not spending a whole lot more an…

    You are probably misusing disingenuous. It implies dishonesty (so intention).

    Talking about their product segments the same way they do is not being pedantic. Insisting on your personal definition is!

    Their data center business is selling gpus. They wrap them in a complete platform, but that's what they are selling. They do report it separately from consumer and business sales o…

    It's at least arguably about storytelling. You don't sit around the fire talking in verse for your entertainment. For instance, one of Homer's works is in the news due to a film be…
