Seems like a bit of a longshot, but it's a very testable longshot and I hope people get working on it asap.
That said, thank god I'm unlikely to be in the position of giving old frail people shit like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphotericin_B

Re: Beware the shoe-stealing Jews!
I thought the Jews just stole your children and your money. Sometimes, they also steal organs. And now, apparently, also shoes! Have a very nice day. -fgalkin Yeah... they actually did steal organs. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/34503294/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/israel-harvested-organs-s-withou...

Re: Antipsychotic medication
Coming from a Disability Care background (as opposed to a user) I can confirm that Seroquel (is supposed to) have a sedation side effect, also has a limit on how long you're supposed to be on it before being switched to another medication (here in Aus). Speaking as a user, is this time limit limite...

Re: Preservatives in Lemon Juice
Well, several of those preservatives do have fungi-static effects, but you need to keep in mind the concentrations. The preservatives are there to protect a 32 oz bottle of juice against some free floating atmospheric fungi, a job they no doubt perform well. When you dilute that bottle with a gallon...

RD-171 produced 1.7 million lbf for a engine weight of 20,900 lbs in four clustered combustion chambers. Each chamber ran at about 3,553 PSI. Yeah, the Russians never quite got a handle on the problems with combustion instability associated with very large combustion chambers. But to be fair, with ...
