You would need a lot more research that (I don't believe has been done) on how often you really need to adjust your thyroid. As cdrugde mentions, thyroid testing is done infrequently - on the order of months. To have an implantable system that fired off that infrequently is probably not really worth it. Dogma is that thyroid hormones don't change that much - at least a clinically noticeable values.

Most of the thyroid replacement research these days seems to be around the issue of 'minor' thyroid hormones, mostly T3. Even with this issue, we don't have good data. And T3 is produced at about 10% of the rate of T4 (the traditional thyroid hormone) so it isn't some scarce little molecule.

But if you really look closely at how much we know about things like this, it's pretty disappointing. This sort of research is slow and very expensive. Given that thyroid pills are pennies and that people do 'pretty well' on that treatment, the impetus to improve things is small.

AC's are leaving?

Excellent!

You mean they've gimped GIMP?

AIDS, Hepatitis, GC, Herpes - Mac users can get all sorts of infections. It's really scary sometimes.

"Because that's where the money is."

Duh....

Wow. He had real mail. And I bet they weren't Cabela's catalogs.

Just what are they doing on your floor? You should at the very least offer them a chair.

Jeez. No wonder women don't like us....

One of my inverter / chargers (Kisea Asbo) has a USB charging port on it. I have a battery pack plugged into so if we have a prolonged power outage, I can directly charge the cell phones / flashlights / whatever else. USB charging is so ubiquitous these days I think it will eventually replace the AA cell.

No, you (presumably) want the teachers to be teaching. Not being their parents.

That ship sailed long ago. That said, GODDAMMIT; '1984' WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WARNING. NOT AN OPERATIONS MANUAL.

TFA specifically mentioned that this would be unlikely to work. However, you could argue that the irony in the concept of 'copyrights all the way down' might be sufficiently transformative so as to enjoy copyright protection.

Thus, it would really be 'copyrights all the way down'. Or perhaps recursion.

Mutiltas....

Wait! A squir ...

The sad part about is that there are far more people who think that AOL / Facebook / The Blue E / Google is the "Internet" than not.

Then there is the tube guy, but he's dead.

Deleting most people's photos could be considered a feature, not a bug.

Should be pretty easy to do.

Accessories. Ecosystem. First mover advantage.

Yes, they are cheap pieces of crap. But they caught on. Now even bicycle helmets have mount points for them.
