My mother had a few of those. Some coupon app on her desktop that was actually advertised by her local news station for getting an aggregated searchable list of coupons available and where to acquire them. It did what it was supposed to. It also downloaded and installed additional applications and hijacked your browser (eg: toolbar search goes to their stuff no matter which option you select, added adverts to websites, and displayed popup ads with fake warnings)

This is very true. My mortgage is technically due on the first, but not considered late until after the fifth. For some reason my auto-draft occurs on the fifth, or prior business day.

Well 25% of the population does have an IQ at or below 90.

More correct IMO would be Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Virginia..... Although technically speaking it was annexed by England not US.

With 200+ facilities it kind of has to network accessible if they're using a centralized system.

I know people who work there. Their only priority is profit. A few weeks ago they did the largest settlement ever with the feds for defrauding medicare. One of the higher ups in a town hall meeting about their atrocious turn over rate compared their employees to janitors. They put red tape over things that should be simple which causes employees to use improper routes to just get something working for now.

Medical / Biology has it's own author order convention. First author is generally the person that did the most work/research on the publication. Last author is the person who managed it. Second author is generally the primary grunt of work. After that is anyone else that contributed / edited, often in order of amount contributed.

Source I worked at a research hospital for several years and actually managed to snag myself a second authorship on a project.

He's also a failed optometrist.

This is what I've done. I have the most recent official copy on me or in my fire safe at home (for DL's the old copy is officially invalid, but unless you're dealing with the government no one cares). The backup/older copy is with with a family member in their fire safe.

I'd agree that it is protectionism, but more from brain drain. It shows eccentric scientists living happily and somewhat successfully in the US. One of the main characters is of Indian descent and there are often several other Asian scientists shown in the university lunchroom.

Or maybe she's failing at paying her bills and often has her boyfriends loan her the money to pay them? (The actual reason given in the show).

https://labnodes.vanderbilt.ed... has the ability to keep track of resources and share them with other researchers. They were working on notebook functionality before I left, but it doesn't look like that has been implemented yet.

IMO the solution is to change it from charging the battery to swapping out the battery. The problem then is having a standardized battery configuration/connection and we all know how well standards go. The station can then charge for the electricity and expenses, including an amount to cover the occasional battery replacement.

That is a doubtfully low number. KY alone, last I heard, had around 370k plans paid for and a 60%+ decrease in uncovered individuals.

I don't know which numbers include children/dependents and which ones don't. That is an important bit of information. If the 60 million is individuals and the 7.1 million is plans, which is how it reads then the total coverage could be significantly higher. If it's the other way around then it is significantly worse.
