Thanks!

In the last row, you multiply first then add second so you get 21.

Also worth pointing out, when employer subsidized insurance does cover the exorbitant cost of these drugs, it's still being implicitly paid for, but is hidden as a lower salary.

No, the meta-study I linked is saying that there is insufficient statistical evidence to suggest dehydration leads to muscle cramps in controlled forward looking studies, contrary to anecdotal backward looking claims which are statistically less rigorous.

"Scientific evidence in support of the “electrolyte depletion” and “dehydration” hypotheses for the aetiology of EAMC comes mainly from anecdotal clinical observations, case series totalling 18 cases, and one small (n = 10) case–control study. Results from four prospective cohort studies do not support these hypotheses. In addition, the “electrolyte depletion” and “dehydration” hypotheses do not offer plausible pathophysiological mechanisms with supporting scientific evidence that could adequately explain the clinical presentation and management of EAMC."

I remember seeing those when I lived in the states as a kid (with the long list of side effects at the end) and being completed baffled.

Thanks

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

I still just don't think at a fraction of 11% it's worth worrying about. Certainly not enough to actually alter social law. You look at France (also at 11% immigrant) and if anything there's been overreaction with the bans on face covering.

I'm sure the UK could do more to encourage assimilation. A basic part of that would simply be making a better effort of pushing migrants into training / jobs if they're not immediately able to, which forces you to adapt to the country's culture and mores. Settling migrants in poor areas with often high existing unemployment rates is a terrible way to integrate migrants and also naturally stirs up hate among the local population.

Groups of migrants will tend to congregate when they arrive but even if some of these initially end up on welfare, there's always a strong financial incentive to become employed which will force them to integrate. Meanwhile, we know that even if the migrants are religious, their children and further descendants are much less likely to be.

Do you really think an 11% immigrant population (for the UK) is going to change social policy? Especially when many of these immigrants aren't religious or socially conservative? This seems like one of those things that people have said enough that it becomes accepted as the truth ...

Right. A knife is a tool. For sharpening shanks.

Yeah, the vlog guys always have something interesting to add. Compared to Brazil, I gotta say we still look practically squeaky clean

Thanks!

Another way of thinking of it, is consumer safes are sold on their appearance and spec sheet rather than their reliability.

These companies know that only select businesses and a minority of consumers will do their research.

Kind of similar to how consumer and business laptops differ in that business laptops tend to look very plain but are generally much more durable.
