Or make a symlink from your save directory to dropbox (I assume that's possible but I'm not exactly sure how except for on *nix.) It does save to my dropbox to begin with, but I also want the file in another folder NOT in dropbox, specifically a thumb drive that I do specific work in.

It's not something that people often do, and it's not something that you're encouraged to do. Despite how you're looking at the problem, you aren't working on two copies of the file at the same time, you're working on the most-recently-saved copy of the file, and then attempting to save it to two separate places. If Word crashes, only one of those files is going to have the "recovery version" information. If Word crashes while it's saving, you're going to have two out-of-sync copies of your file. If you open one copy of your file in a different editor, the changes aren't going to be saved to both locations. Basically, Word doesn't want to make it easy for you to think you're editing one file that's saved in two places, because you're not. "Data consistency" is one of The Big Problems in computer science, and there are some pretty good solutions to it out there. "Saving two copies" isn't really one of them.

Do vets have a clinical way to test for scabies (a.k.a. mange) on cats, or will they just make the same appraisal that we've made, which is "if it's not X Y or Z, it sounds like it might be scabies, in which case you should do X." My situation is, the cat has these spots where she keeps gnawing her fur off. we know it's not fleas or ticks. We have reason to believe it's not a food or litter allergy, since we've dealt with that before. We have reason to suspect it may be scabies (we've seen what might be burrows in the itchy spots; the fact that she's itching in a few localized spots and not all over like with fleas, which are more mobile). Will going to the $50 vet help, or will she just tell us what we already suspect and recommend some skin cream we could have gotten on our own? Besesoth posted:Nobody's talking about the soap, dude, we're talking about washing your dishes with a filthy sponge, which is like bathing with used toilet paper. The point of washing your dishes is to remove grease, same with your hands. Antibacterial soap doesn't mean poo poo unless you're washing something porous that had raw meat on it. The point of soap is to get off gunk. Soap molecules surround gunk and allow it to be carried away. Pathogens live in little (sometimes undetectable) spots of gunk. The point of cleaning is to remove that gunk. Then, once it dries, they have nowhere to live on the plate. So the keys to cleaning are soap to loosen the gunk, and abrasion/physical force to remove it. So considering that, I'd say that if a sponge that is so filthy that it can't carry gunk away / imparts more gunk, then yes, clean it. If a sponge smells gross and bacterial, but it can still remove gunk, don't worry about it, just don't ingest the sponge water directly. Several studies (don't feel like looking them up) have verified that hot water does not really affect the bacteria removal of hand washing - it just makes it more comfortable, encouraging people to take their time rubbing their hands around with soap. Hot water does, however, affect dishes to a point: the heat reduces the viscosity of oily stuff, helping it to come off more easily.

What is this snake oil? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/02/14/spray_antennas/ Does that mean I'll be able to get antennas for my WiFi router with a bigger range? I don't see how spraying "nano-capacitors" on antennas is going to make a lick of difference. It seems like this would be huge news if it really worked.

Take that cat to the vet. It could be developing infections due to the bites or god knows what else. You can post your question here and get more answers, but most of them are probably going to be "go to the vet!"

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:What is this snake oil? Antenna design is really weird, almost as much art as science (of course it's all determined by science, but the design itself is hard to be deterministic about). People are still finding out new stuff like, if you put X evenly spaced radial wires underneath instead of Y of them, it'll project more outward than upward by Z percent. Capacitance and inductance has a lot to do with radio signal resonance. Surrounding an antenna with nanocapacitors, it's not impossible that it would help. But it wouldn't seem to me that spraying nanocaps, with no regard to where, how, or what capacitance, would improve every antenna ever by 100x. It may be engineered to work for certain bandwidths, that'd be a little more believable. Unless there are more details out there than what I've read, I wouldn't get super excited about it yet - it's likely to be much more niche application than the PR is spinning it.

Often times, money. Especially proctology, which nowadays is generally the purvey of endoscopists. Endoscopists have a very fast turn around time between patients, so they can make a lot of money in a day, for not a lot of work, very little risk of the patient dying or getting complications, and all you have to do is be willing to look up a lot of poopers.

I went to the ophthalmologist today and he said I have something going on with my eyes where the lids don't open as much as they should. He said "oh it's only a little bit and it's symmetrical so don't worry about it," so I'm not concerned or anything. I'd like to read more about it out of curiosity though, and I can't remember what the word he used for it was.

Experience on rotations in medical school/desire to spend time in the OR vs. clinic/lifestyle vs. money considerations, mostly. With the exception of podiatry, which is its own school/professional track.

Like the clear plastic speculum looked like it was dipped in a can of primer after. Of course it's + for GC, CT, BVag, AND Trich. But that's pretty routine by now. What got me was when I went to talk to the patient after the results posted and walked in on the BF going down on her.

As an update, I sent them an email and they told me to call their 1-800 number, so I did, but that was out of service. I called their regular number and talked to the girl that works in the office and found out that the smallest order you can get is a case of four one-gallon jugs for $47 plus $25 shipping (HAZMAT). I ordered a case because it kicks the poo poo out of Simple Green or any other cleaner I have ever used and I don't want to run out of it. I asked why their market is so limited and found out it is a small family company with four employees and she said they don't have the infrastructure to deal with high volume, so mainly they just sell to commercial buyers that buy it by the pallet or 55gal drum. Her brother is the owner of the company and close to retirement age so jumping into a national or international market is a bigger bite than he is willing to chew.

Are there any rules for suffixes to words that maintain the verb/noun/whatever status? I feel like sometimes they change the meaning of the word and sometimes they don't. What I want is some guideline that lets me know if adding these suffixes leads to a new word or else just unnecessary syllables. There is probably no actual rhyme or reason like much of English. For this to make sense, I'll need some examples. Dynamic versus dyanmical. They mean the same thing, though there might be slight variations in the definition rankings. Waste versus wastage. They mean different things. Wastage is often used to describe a more gradual loss while waste tends to be more from inefficiency or destruction. Majestical versus majestic. They mean the same thing. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary won't even acknowledge majestical, but it's certainly in common use. Economic versus economical. Economic refers more to the field, while economical refers more to resource management.

I don't think this is accurate. Wastage usually describes the process of something be wasted. Waste refers to the actual material. As for majestical vs. majestic, majestic is much more standard. There's no rule, but generally adding extra suffixes doesn't lead to a new word.

If you're looking for good cleaners, Kleen Warrior is fantastic too. We use it at work and it just kills grease/dirt/pen marks. We used it to scrub 4 years worth of dirt from our tiling grout and the floor looked brand new. Plus we sprayed it in the owner's mouth and he seems okay so it must be safe too!!!!

Like someone else said, there is no "small travel questions" thread in the travel subforum, so here we go: I need a passport (US) before March 14th...I looked at the US passport website, and it seems the best way is to wait until two weeks before my travel date, then go in person to a regional passport office (one just 30 minutes from me,) and get one there. I should have it within a week...an expedited one by mail should be 203 weeks, but could easily be more, I think... Has anyone had any experience going in person to a passport office?

You'll have to bring your travel itinerary (to prove that you're leaving within two weeks,) and ALL of your documentation. If you don't have something you don't get a passport. The website does list everything you'll need though. Get your pictures taken somewhere before going to the office; there will be a place next to the office usually but they'll charge something obscene. You have to make an appointment and you want to get there well before your appointment time. You'll give some person your documents, they'll go over them, and then you'll sit and wait for several hours, and then they'll give you the passport. The website says that the expedited time is 2-3 weeks door to door right now with overnight delivery; I'd seriously consider going that route. If you wait you'll have to schedule an appointment, and they may not have one at a time that suits you. I also remember needing my parents birthtowns for some reason, so find that out so you don't have to call them from the office.
