FYI for your tree nut friend, itchy throat is often a sign of "oral allergy syndrome" (could be useful for him if he hasn't already seen an allergist)

If the labeling is not consistent, it's not useful

The difference is access to testing. Most of the people in the US who "test" positive for an allergen aren't actually allergic to it, but that is often not explained properly.

Simply, allergists have three types of testing: skin test, blood test, actual exposure. If you can eat something without a reaction, it doesn't matter what the skin and blood tests showed (they can be "positive" for other reasons). Skin and blood tests are mostly used to determine severity of an allergy after exposure has already proven to be a problem.

But allergy testing is covered by insurance (and it's VERY profitable), so a ton of allergists will do skin and blood tests on people who don't need it, and now there are independent scam companies doing "allergy" testing by mail for curious people.

That's probably a restriction on the rental that's just an option if you own it. My 2013 Ford allows me to limit several things over 55mph for drivers using my second car key.

Her approach actually doesn't focus on defecation at all, just urination, but yep, I agree with all the rest.

Language in Thought and Action by S.I. Hayakawa. There is a LOT in the book, but at a minimum it made me think analytically about language and "news".

Macs only look good at a 110 or 220 pixel density.

34" ultra wide 1440p has a pixel density of about 110 ppi, and that should work just fine. You might need to use a different cable, though. You should look your monitor up on rtings.com and search for notes on Mac compatibility.

I have a MacBook Pro 14 that I use daily with a 34" ultra-wide 1440p gaming monitor, and I've never had a problem. I had a MacBook Pro 13 before the 14 that also worked without issue.

Based on your comment, I opened up the Lenovo website and tried to look at options/prices. I spent about 15 minutes in earnest just trying to use the selection filters (they keep unchecking themselves and freezing the screen) before the results failed to load then froze the screen. After several minutes, I gave up and came back here.

This is not the first time I've had this experience with Lenovo.

I have never bought a Mac before, but my next computer purchase will be one unless Framework fixes their battery issues first.

Mostly because there is no one "Linux" OS, there are many.

Do not co-sleep with an infant. Ever.

Babies sleep a lot more than adults, so they can sleep on a parent/guardian who is awake.

Do you share a rewards account at that store with your wife, who steals things constantly? It wouldn't surprise me if the sales system could recognize suspicious customers and flag them for review based on a rewards number/account.

From the website:

> Will this be available on Intel Macs?

> Yep, I'm working on making it compatible with older Macs.

Atlanta, Boston, Houston, and Philadelphia all have medical center areas with 3+ hospitals within walking distance of each other.

Houston has the largest medical center in the world with ~10 including Texas Children's Hospital, the largest children's hospital in the world (or at least it was a couple of years ago).

Your goal should be iteration. Pick the simplest way to make this idea work with as few things as possible (preferably one) and make that. Then add another technology to upgrade it, etc. It should be usable after each step and improve each time. If you try to build a new project using that many new languages, tools, and methodologies, you won't finish.
