> Sodium phosphate is no longer recommended as a bowel preparation regimen due to its serious side effects

Well in my country, it's still wildly used for people without renal issues.

I was thinking the same thing.

Simple sugars and highly processed foods tends to affect the gut microbiome.

I guess "more ressearch is needed".

> Not allowed in EU.

I'm surprised, I know for a fact that some stores definitely have the ability to do that on their hardware.

And they even put a nagware in it to point you to the new notepad. Oh MSFT.

No, no, no, Emacs is a pretty good operating system, it just lacks a good text editor.

Maybe it's just a PR stunt, maybe not, we'll find out in due time.

The thing is, there has been a lot of announcement like that in the past, but when the dust settles, you find out that every other ministry just signed another contract with Microsoft, so yeah.

The DINUM (the state agency behind these tools) just try very hard to be relevant, but in the end, the ministries are relatively autonomous in their choices.

It goes well with their greenwashing "search engine" (API to bing and google).

However, Holywood might like the idea of producing an endless stream of content/music/movies/etc. with little human intervention.

Could a gladiator win such a fight? I guess with a long reach weapon like a pilum, the gladiator may have a chance but it would be a hell of a fight.

With a gladius or any other short range weapon, it's just a fancy execution.

Most of the time it was not the church that did the execution. The church was more an expertise if you will and delivered the suspect to civil authorities with a judgement. The civil authorities then did what the law called for.

I doubt that. Big predators don't quit fights even when mortally wounded.

For a time it was a new market, full of potential growth. Then it got mature, every one who wanted one had one and given the nature of the device (low cost/low performance) it wouldn't need to be renewed for some time. Some manufacturers went upmarket (bigger and more powerful devices for more money) blurring the line with their entry level laptops. It wasn't a recognisable market segment any more. At some point, the market must have both shrunk too much and merged into other segments for anyone to care. Mobile devices ate their lunch too I guess.

It's better than days old refrigerated food, but not equivalent to freshly picked.

I grow beans in my garden. French beans and broad beans are quite good frozen, perhaps amongst the vegetables that tolerate the freezer the most. Very happy to have those out of season. But there is no comparison possible with the fresh stuff.

Unfortunately no.

The cold degrades some molecules involved in the flavour of the fruit.

As someone who started it's career in a thinkpad only shop

Indeed, old thinkpads were designed to survive a coffee spill on the keyboard and they did, and various drops (with spinning rust as storage and cfl backed screens)

And when you achieve to break some part, it can be easily swapped. Oh and the documentation for that is available and very detailed.
