To me the hospitalization rate is most important.

* Overcrowded hospitals is what leads to large jumps in fatality rates.

* It only lags the date of infection by about a week.

* It also isn't subject to external factors like availability of tests. (Though availability of hospital beds is a factor later on)

The active dose is nowhere near the lethal dose. It is however close to the dose where you could see some minor damage to the liver. It causes problems because people are addicted to opioid drugs that are typically combined with acetaminophen, not because they are loading up on acetaminophen itself.

Any suggestions for a _quiet_ bean grinder that won't disrupt a small office with its noise?

Try selecting "Verbatim" in the tools menu - it can really improve your google search on technical topics.

Or we could just get rid of daylight savings so we wouldn't have to complain anymore.

There is a major difference between Gatorade and Powerade, which is the type of sugar.

Gatorade has glucose (aka dextrose, the same sugar as an IV bag) while Powerade has high fructose corn syrup.

Glucose can be used directly by your cells while fructose is metabolized in the liver first. So for quick relief from dehydration I choose Gatorade.

* Glucose = 100% dextrose

* table sugar / sucrose = 50% dextrose

* high fructose corn syrup = ~40% dextrose

My observation is that teens are taking jobs that were previously done by undocumented immigrants who have left due to the current political climate. I expect immigration policy could be more closely correlated with young men's labor than video games.

What is the energy density of a flow battery like this? It's hard to imagine it is anywhere near gasoline or a lithium ion battery.

I need coastal weather data to find the best waves for surfing so I built http://www.swellmatrix.com

I would start other projects with money- making potential but there are always features to add to the site that can get me more waves...
