You'd think not getting anthrax, smallpox and deadly bird flu would be a powerful incentive to follow the proper procedures to keep everything sanitary :-/

I suppose if upper management ignored the problem for long enough, it WOULD eventually sort itself out...

A silver lining to a yeast infection!

Used to be in Israel you could get them directly from Israel Railways Company(state owned) right from the rail yard, that was 13+ years ago doubt you still can. But they could probably point you in the right direction. Here in the Americas, either your local building company or right from a rail company themselves. I used to buy them here in Ontario from the local CN dispatch office where the guys who did repairs worked. If you wanted more than half a dozen ties, they'd order them in for you. They were about half the cost of buying them anywhere else.

A glass of the finished product, sampled at a downtown restaurant, tasted about average for West Texas.

So the water tastes like shit. Good to know.

Not a bad thought, if you don't mind very expensive ammo...

Tho my first thought was to wonder how easily this could be misdirected by a competing targeting laser.

I had the thought that yeah, since mom is infected it could be a re-infection, but not necessarily through what I suspect you're thinking. Any accidental exchange of bodily fluids can suffice. Did mom have a cold sore and kiss the child on the lips? (Remember kids have potential breaks in the mouth due to new teeth) Might be enough.

Here's the promotional video from Rafael, the system's maker. If the Iron Dome launchers are in a position to hit incoming rockets when they're still in boost phase, they're clearly effective. When they hit, the ascending rocket's flare disappears. Israel has Iron Dome launchers both forward postioned near Gaza, for boost phase defense, and near cities, for terminal defense. For terminal defense, it's harder to tell if they worked. The incoming rockets are just falling at that point, and success requires blowing up their warhead, not their rocket engine.

Videos show the missile's warhead exploding. That's triggered by a proximity fuse. There's a spray of shrapnel from the warhead; it doesn't have to be a direct hit. Whether that sets off the incoming rocket's warhead isn't visible from the videos of terminal defense.The Patriot missiles used in the Gulf war were able to hit incoming Scud missiles, but often didn't detonate the warhead.

Nadella used to run Bing. Did anything change there while he was in charge?

When I sold my last house, I gave the Realtor footage I had taken using my R/C aircraft for fun.

...Slot car racing!

"Something isn't more or less safe if money changes hands."

No, but:

a) Other factors come into play when money changes hands -- issues of liability, scale, entitlements, conversion of public benefits....

b) Commercial exceptions are well-established in U.S. law.. If you want to argue they shouldn't be, you'll have to go back something like a hundred years. These restrictions have been very good for the country, though, so you'd have an uphill battle.

From the post:

"This is a troubling development in an ongoing saga over the FAA's rules which punish the safe commercial use of drones."

Nope. It's a completely appropriate action according to the FAA's mandate and charter. It's their exact *job*.

Whether it's an appropriate restriction is to be debated.

Sounds like to me a prime opportunity to re-open one, and tout "american or canadian made" with "staff from inside the country" along with "rigorous QC."

Overdosing on dihydrogen monoxide is fatal and irreversible too, I guess you missed the point.

That's how the DMCA is already written. The problem is the lack of enforcement, not the law.
