Federal health care benefits are pretty good compared with most private sector plans. Apart from picking up politically sensitive medical issues, eg, abortion and gender dysphoria, maybe who got vaccinated for what. They could pick up who is raising the cost of the benefit plan -- expensive...

Regarding Trump, he also claims that wind farms spoil the view -- he's a real estate developer in effect, and wouldn't want ocean views spoiled and affecting property values. The rest of his objections are simply marshaled to limit the number of wind farms. Does anybody believe he cares about...

Today's EVs have limits, but the military is looking toward the future -- Although it's a goofy name the entire Army Futures Command is focused on developing new technologies and refining and improving current ones.

In addition to the logistical cost of fossil fuels, they tie operations to fuel depots, they are toxic, explosive, and flammable. What's not to like?

As noted in the article, the trend is consistent with data from other studies -- going back if my memory serves -- as long as 20 years ago.

Disposal is a nontrivial issue. Imagine all the activated charcoal that municipal water treatment facility will generate. And of course once it gets wet again in a landfill or wherever there will be some leachate. So it might be necessary to dispose of it in concrete sealed locations or to take...

This is a really good article on the PFAS issue and the requirements for establishing exposure limits for [potential] carcinogens. It does, however, miss part of the problem and associated costs. Having pulled the PFASs out of the water with activated charcoal or some kind of resin, what do you...

Bought a house in Albuquerque and the COMCAST web site said that it had service. They even sent me a modem. When it wouldn't connect, even the support people didn't know why. There was no cable of any kind. Paid a modest installation fee, and when the first bill was off, I explained to the...

If the news report I read is correct, the regimen indicated in the judge's order (30 mg/day for 3 weeks) is way off standard. 30 mg would be appropriate for a single dose for a 200 kg person. Typically the drug is only given as a single dose as an antiparasitic. There seems to be little chronic...

There is perhaps a chance this could backfire too. There is almost never really truly adequate data to set exposure limits. So risk assessors typically produce exposure/toxicity levels by dropping the exposure level from the best data with a fractional multiplier. If you have good human data...
