That’s a rather round 8

To be perfectly fair, when the guy said the test was inconclusive, he was right… To a point.
His failure was that he only did the test once and in one location, which just proves a hill/valley could be playing a factor in the results. To have true empirical results, the test would need to be done at multiple locations, each a random but sizable distance apart.
The scientific method relies on repeatability and reliability in data to provide proof to anything and he wasn’t really using either.

They can use a bone or at least part of one to fix a shattered or badly healed one. The link also mentioned diseases or infection, malformed or insufficiently sized, and a few others.

People that would need a bone or ligament graft. It’s mostly for joint repairs.

I think I remember hearing methanol got most of its bad rep (over IPA) because it was commonly produced with the ethanol when moonshine was made by inexperienced people. During prohibition, people would go to these inexperienced distillers because of the low cost (or even try doing it themselves) and get sick.
It is also used to “denature” (make unfit for consumption) ethanol for industrial use to be exempt from alcohol taxes. Bittering agents are more common now though, especially when the product is consumer facing and the residue left by the agent isn’t important.

You have to keep in mind that the resistance from one foot to your other is going to be less than dry earth between your strides. This means if you are walking toward a downed power line, you may inadvertently walk within its path to its ground and the voltage could actually travel through you.

Just remember that the location which let the cheeto use it as a platform never got any blowback from corporate. So, just stop going to McDonald’s altogether; plenty of other food places for when you don’t want to cook.

You’ll also likely need to pee more (like every 20-30min) despite not really drinking water in between restroom trips.

In summary, mice were intragastrically administered with CAP at three doses to evaluate the effects of CAP on GI health. The results showed that administration of 40 mg/kg CAP did not have significant negative effects on the GI tract in mice, while 60 and 80 mg/kg CAP caused GI injury by damaging GI tissues and decreasing the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). Inflammation and histopathological changes were significant in the jejunum, ileum, and colon, but only slight in the stomach. CAP increased serum SP and CGRP levels in a dose-dependent manner, which may induce an immune response and visceral pain. The levels of cecal SCFAs also significantly changed in the 80 mg/kg CAP-treated groups. These effects of CAP might be related to the regulation of gut microbiota, especially Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Faecalibacterium, and Butyricimonas. Moreover, the underlying mechanism of the correlation between serum neuropeptides and specific gut microbiota needs to be studied, suggesting that probiotics, as members of the gut microbiota, may be an alternative in relieving CAP-induced GI injury. These data will reveal the effects of CAP on GI health, provide insight into the experimental model of CAP-induced GI injury, and enrich the correlation analysis between CAP ingestion and gut microbiota.
It looks like it’s still being studied. For now, I guess you can resolve it to being an irritant when ingested in larger quantities than your body likes.

The refusal is likely tied to liability, in that they see any aftermarket parts or OoW repairs as a potential failure point and fear the customer may blame them for it. It wouldn’t even matter if the quality of work or parts is as good or better. There’s also another factor of trying to oversimplify any repairs/service to allow them to eventually hire unqualified/uneducated ‘techs’ for things who don’t have a clue what’s going on.

It should normally be on a label stuck to the left B-pillar, below the latch for the driver-side door (that little loop thingy the door grabs onto when closed)
ManualsLib also has the original manual where it’s listed on pg. 143.

It looks like it’s primarily aesthetic.
A few notes though… With the faucet and valve so close to the open side, the shower curtain could inconvenience adjusting the temperature or catch onto the handle if not paid attention to. If the shower head is also offset that much (not sure by the pic but a couple of easy fixes are available) it could make it more difficult to shower especially with having to stand in a tub.

I would say the ants.
Termites would be the equivalence to a hippo in or out of water (wood, for them) while the ants would be hyenas. One on one, the termite would win, but ants tend to have the numbers and their bodies are more built for tearing tearing apart flesh/exoskeletons. With termites, it only really the soldiers that are capable of attack/defense while most ants in a colony are capable of such.

- Comment on How am I supposed to obtain income? 2 months ago:
I went through it a few months ago and for California, at least, the only restrictions were a 2-year limit to be on it, you have to check in weekly to attest to regularly searching/applying, and that you were ‘let go’ through no fault of your own. (i.e. quit or fired)
To add, they will generally set up an eligibility interview over the phone with a social worker before any decisions are made.
I would also suggest to apply for health insurance through the ACA’s website as it takes a bit of time and you don’t want to be stuck without and get injured or with a penalty. (if mandated by your state) It’s generally at no cost if you don’t have an income and can be canceled when you do.

It’s easier to change a system from the inside, possibly with a union, rather than by protesting by yourself
