As a back sleeper, get a pillow or cushion under your knees/legs. Otherwise the arch of your back is in constant stress when you sleep and can lead to back problems. You can guess how I know.

Friendly reminder that most of us live in places where cats are non-native and should therefore either keep them indoors or on a leash.

Re:Toshiba device tests cancer types from a drop of blood on Tuesday November 26, 2019 @09:12AM (#21638385)
It's probably not as simple as I think it is but if the test is cheap enough couldn't they just run it again on all affected people just in case?

If ran twice we'd have: 49 correctly detected, missing 11 cases and 250 incorrectly suspected.

Ran thrice keeping the 2 most similar results we'd have: Most people correctly identified?

Of all mammals, only humans drink milk into adolescence/adulthood. And only a few of them actually do it regularly.

No, bad example. Nokia failed because they were using windows mobile instead of Android.

In 2011 Nokia started using windows phone os which, at the time, no one knew if it was going to catch on. In 2014 Microsoft bought the phone division and kept the OS although at that point it was clear that it was not going to work out. Operation stopped in 2017.

If you're in a browser the "send feedback" is at the bottom right in italic.

If you're using the application it's hamburger button, "help & feedback" then "Feedback" will be located at the top right.
