My understanding is that if you “floor it” and shove the gas pedal way all the way down, then the pad you put your foot on can fall off leaving the “pedal” stuck under the floorboard with no way to reduce speed.
Poor editing, yes. Poor engineering, even more so.

RVNC hits $3.28. Someone knows something I don’t, or perhaps I’m ignoring the obvious.
Great, it will prove itself in the long term, but it seems to be fading away into the twilight.
Sorry Dew, I’ve never used Botox so don’t have your experience.
Hate to be the curmudgeon, but this, aside from CD, is a cosmetic surgery company, and that market can be fickle.

It hit $3.23 today if you believe Yahoo Finance, but perhaps some people covered their short sales, bringing it back up.

I wonder if she’ll adhere to privacy agreements customers initially signed up for after it becomes a private company?
Part of their sales pitch was that you could agree to share your genetic data anonymously with scientists in order to advance research. In my opinion, their lax security practices breached the privacy assurances that explicitly went along with that altruistic agreement.
Data mining is great for medical research, but is even more valuable to advertisers willing to sell anything under the sun if they can target the right (or most vulnerable) audience.

US government computers include “legacy” dinosaurs. And a rat’s maze of different systems that are hard to coordinate. Plus, any decent programmer can make a lot more money in the private sector than as a government employee. It can be difficult to find young programmers who even know how to run the old systems.
Look at how hard it was to sign up for healthcare online when they first announced “Obamacare.” Look at the nightmare applying for college financial aid became when they put it online. By all reports, the IRS rollout of filing taxes online has gone smoothly, but they’ve started very slowly and still warn you to be careful about spam, scams, and phishing.

How_Much_Does Weight Loss_Help_with Sleep Apnea?
https://www.healthline.com/health/sleep-apnea/sleep-apnea-weight-loss
Weight loss tends to reduce problems with sleep apnea (and snoring,) so I’m not sure how you can disentangle the two questions.
I.e., which came first, the chicken or the egg? If weight loss reduces sleep apnea, and weight loss drugs reduce weight, are they specifically reducing sleep apnea or is that a beneficial side effect?

Maggie Rogers - Don't Forget Me
[in the Live Lounge]
I’m holding what I have but not buying. I’d like to think it can’t go much lower but it continues to surprise me.
If I sell here, I lock in my losses. If I hold here, I can’t lose much more than I would have if if if I’d sold at 36 when I had the chance.
BTW, saw the total eclipse of the sun on Monday. That was amazing.

There are many types of dementia, not just Alzheimers.
Multi-infarct dementia, dementia due to multiple concussions (football injuries, war veterans, punch drunk boxers,) mad cow disease, early onset AD, etc., etc.
I’m not sure how accurately they can diagnose what type of dementia a patient has, which results in some uncertainty as to whether they can pinpoint the population that they are trying to treat or enroll in clinical trials.
It used to be that Alzheimers was diagnosed via autopsy, but presumably they have developed more sophisticated test methods since then. I have not kept track.
I don’t know that earrings would be bad, but make up definitely so.
In addition, at least in a medical setting, long finger nails can harbor bacteria. Having them cut through the sterile gloves clearly breaches the sterile environment.
I know someone who worked at NASA and they think the success of their satellite was heavily dependent on the diligence of the quality assurance people who made sure that everyone followed the proper decontamination procedures before they entered the clean room where the satellite was being built. Every speck of dust or whatever would stay with it throughout orbit and could interfere with a successful mission.
Surgeons are supposed to count the number of instruments they bring into an operating room and make sure it matches what they take out in order to avoid the occasional occurrence of leaving one stitched up inside the patient.
What skill set is needed to work at a chip factory?
Boeing’s problems may have started when they went from being a premier engineering company to a more business bottom line oriented company.
Some of their problems happened when they opened a manufacturing plant in South Carolina, where there was very little of the safety culture mentality associated with manufacturing in Seattle.
Tools and metal shards were left inside the wings, where they could potentially rupture the fuel tanks or cause other problems.
Given that people have to follow strict clean room procedures when manufacturing chips, is the U.S. work force really set up to do that? I live near a high school, and, post Covid, at least 50 to 60 or more kids walk away from the school every single day, getting zero free education. I don’t know what they do in their spare time, but I see them waiting at bus stops or walking to the local malls or fast food joints. I seriously doubt any of them would follow the procedures needed to manufacture reliable chips.
