doctors will prescribe the latest (expensive) drug to a patient when a generic does the job just as well
If the solution even requires a generic... I went in for bronchitis, and I came out with a prescription for a generic antibiotic, and a prescription for Prilosec. When I looked it up later, it turned out to be a medication for heartburn! I also noticed that the logo was the same as the big, purple button on the lapel of the doctor's labcoat.
Geez....how are they gonna convince someone to let them load this crap on their computer?
Funny mouse cursor?
My take on it was:
REALTOR: We'll sell this historic land for $1.6 million dollars
CONDO BUILDER: I'll buy that
REALTOR: Do you want us to demolish this historic site also?
MUSEUM BUILDER: Oh hell no! $2 million!
If we could just make them stand in the corner for a decade or two, until they learn to play nice with others.
It worked on my 7 year old nephew.
I take it he was 7 when he started?
My son came back from his classes in favor of a second term for Bush. It didn't really matter because he was 5.
Is lithium still popular as an anti-depressant, or has it fallen out of favor now that the patents have expired?
It used to be the treatment for depression and bipolar disorder, but IIRC, the long-term health effects from regular consumption are devastating. It's still possible to get a prescription, but not with ease.
I think it's time for that trip to Madagascar...
The Hydrogen atom is fairly well explored, and has a nucleic charge of +e, while the electron orbiting it has a charge of -e. As the electron becomes excited, it moves farther away from the nucleus until it is finally ionized.
In more complex atom, such as Rubidium, you have a nucleic charge of +37e, and 37 electrons with a charge of -e surrounding it. When observed from a distance, these add to a net charge of 0, making it neutral.
If you are able to excite the outermost electron of an atom, the electron will move very far away from the nucleus, such that the nucleus and the other electrons are close together compared to the distance between the excited electron and the nucleus. From this outer electron's perspective, the other parts of the atom combine to form a net charge of +e. With a charge of -e orbiting a charge of +e, this atom will behave like a Hydrogen atom. This is a Rydberg atom.
What they have done is make a molecule out of two Rydberg atoms made from Rubidium. This should be similar to two Hydrogen atoms making a H2 molecule. Very excited electron energies are unstable and have very brief lifetimes, so it's unusual that the entire molecule would have lasted for 18us.
Anyone who thinks German brewers adhere to that these days needs their head testing.
I tested it and it turns out German beer is 100% carbon dioxide!
executing... (that doesn't quite sound right, but okay... you get the idea)
In America, at least, we usually just keep adding syllables until it not only sound right, but it makes us sound super smart.
Try "executivizing"
17% is completely healthy. In fact, most health professionals recommend a target BF% of 16%. Essentially, it breaks down like this:
05%BF: Essential fats; don't go below this
10%BF: Athletic range;
20%BF: Healthy range; with a 16% optimum
25%BF: Overfat; but not considered horrible
>25%BF: Obese
(For women, the numbers are 8%,17%,25%, and 30%, with an optimum of 20%)
"Who the hell their base belong to?"
Us.
Don't you worry about the details there, Sparky.
Who is us and how can we stop them?
They were shocked when I introduced them to another tester who tested board games in the 1970's.
Oh wow, so before video games people used to play with pieces of lumber?
