If citrulline were Rx-only in the US, then I doubt Doctor's Best would make it and I doubt Walmart would sell it:

A dust particle in the middle of the room takes many hours to settle on the floor or other horizontal surface. During that air time, it frequently changes direction and rises and falls many times. Every time someone walks on a dusty floor, lots of dust is put into the air. Most will eventually settle on the floor again, but some ends up on other horizontal surfaces. But the dust that ends up on the fllor again is likely to put in the again by people walking.

I was not writing metaphorically.

Maybe I was unclear because I was trying not to cause offense.

My question is, How would anyone know that there was a time in human history or prehistory when cats were the #1 predator of human ancestors? (I assume he means the #1 killer of our ancestors that eats us for food.)

How did people figure that out?

Ever since the invention of writing, the #1 predator to humankind has been other humans, so we must go back to the time before written records to get to a time when cats were the #1 predator. My question is, in the absence of written records, how did the people of the current age determine the rate of death from the various predators?

Maybe you mean the #1 predator not including other humans?

Tobacco offers short-term relief for some the negative emotions (anxiety?) caused by schizophrenia. I have heard that it is very effective (and of course fast-acting).

The problem is that not all of the software someone might want to run on Windows handles backslashes gracefully.

There are situations in which for example VS Code will run git commands "behind the scenes" (without ever showing the command to the user). The way it is now, VS Code sometimes obtains a file name to be used as an argument to a git command from a Microsoft function that return the name with backslashes, gives the name to git, which doesn't consider a backslash a path separator, so git causes an error, "no file named foo\bar\bash," or such, and since that git command line (command with arguments) was never manually submitted or entered by the user, the user can't get past the error just by replacing some backslashes with slashes, then resubmitting the command line.

Microsoft could submit patches to the git project to make git recognize the backslash as a path separator, but there is no guarantee that the maintainers of git would accept the patches. So, Microsoft could end up choosing to bend (on the backslash issue) to make Windows more compatible with git -- and other Unix-centric projects.

When Pixar spun out LucasFilm in 1986, it was not worth very much because they had yet to produce any films or sell anything at all.

20 years later, Disney paid $7.4 billion for Pixar.

Redhat is staying with IBM, not going to the spin-off:

>Besides the Red Hat portfolio and Global Business Services, IBM will retain its systems business, software portfolio focused on big data, AI and security, and mission-critical public cloud service.

And IBM's is currently $117 billion.

Such as the Chromebooks many on this site like to rave about.

Have you tried browsing through mitmproxy? I have. It works, mostly, but is quite unpleasant.

Thanks. (For clarification, in my daydream, my head is definitely higher than my feet.)

When I daydream about something like this, it is so that I can keep my hips straight (the way they are when people are standing or lying flat).

In my daydream, I am lying flat "on" ("against"?) a board, as if lying on a bed, but the board is at an incline of about 45 degrees. The board is of a slippery material like formica to make it easy for me to get on and off it, which makes it important for there to be a "ledge" at right angles to the board for my feet to "stand on"("rest against"?) so I don't just slide down the incline.

>The only transformative net effect . . .

You write as if our institutions will always remain healthy and the only uncertainty our future holds is which groups or which individuals will get which share of the "pie" (or "prosperity") produced by our healthy institutions.

You didn't catch my point, but never mind. (I probably should've written "a certain way of thinking about the morality of work and of money".)

>don’t do the error of reducing the interaction to a vile matter of money

The most important thing I've learned from reading antirez's blog posts is a certain way of thinking about the labor market that I'm guessing is much more common in Italy (and maybe in France and Spain) than where I live (namely, the US).

And since it is held together by violence, it is ok for you and your allies to use violence to oppose it, eh?

In my experience Wordnet as an English dictionary is much worse than the dictionary (the New Oxford American Dictionary) included with Macos and iOS.

I misread. I appreciate the correction.

The wikipedia page you link to says it has a concrete core.

The US military funded tor to give its employees a way to use the internet without divulging to the US's adversaries what sites they were reading.

You can buy deglycyrrhized licorice. Example:

This product is usually used to improve health, not for its taste (though it does taste good IME), and does not contain sugar.

I agree with you that it probably can be done. The question is whether it can be done without using more energy than it saves.

Although his reputation would suffer by signing an order and then not taking steps to implement it, the current governor will almost certainly be retired or holding national office by the time it becomes possible (near 2035) to take practical implementation steps, and as far as I know there is no way for proponents of this measure to compel or pressure future California governments to implement this order.

So unless I am missing something, unlike most executive orders, this order is merely symbolic and does not commit the government or anyone else to anything.

Am I missing something?

Increasing O2 has physiological effects different from the effects of decreasing CO2. It is not just the ratio or difference between the concentrations that matter.

For example, a major effect of increasing CO2 is to make the blood more acidic (or to put more stress on the homeostatic mechanisms that maintain a target pH), and my guess is that no amount of increasing O2 will cancel that out.

That's not true. To pick the first example I was able to find:

In United States v. Lopez, ___ U.S.____, 115 S.Ct. 1624 (1995), the Supreme Court invalidated, as beyond the powers of Congress under the Commerce Clause, the Gun Free School Zone Act, which criminalized the possession of a firearm within 1000 feet of a school.

The 6 defendants weren't Amazon employees.

Sure, if you believe the figures published by the USSR's government.

Oops: it was Wyse 55s I had (but they look just like the pictures of Wyse 60s I found on the web).
