That was the theory and how it works in a petri dish, however that's not how it works in the body.
Antibiotic treatment doesn't have to kill all of the bacteria. It needs to kill enough so the immune system can catch up and finish the job.
There been evidence for more than 50 years that overly long antibiotic treatments cause resistance to build up faster. That's why they have limits on the first place.
So there's a balance between too few days, and to many.
A few more tips that I have learned over the years.
Here's a place to start in Australia if things go sideways. Generally these systems force insurance companies to follow approved procedures and reasonable standards.

Keep your own copies of all insurance paperwork. Insurance companies are known to get creative with their copies of the paperwork. Myteriously losing or modifying documents after they are signed.
Document everything you discuss with the insurance. For example I just had to add some equipment to my business policy. Rather than calling the broker to add it, I e-mailed the request. It included in-detail description of the equipment etc. If you talk to them on the phone. Keep notes in a dated notes app or notebook of what was discussed. Be sure to use clarifying techniques like "Just to be clear I understand, (briefly summarize the discussion).
Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Make a schedule to contact them to keep them from delaying. Weekly calls/e-mails etc. Stuff to show a record of due diligence resolving the issue.
Extreme measures - things to do before you get a lawyer involved. The objective is to be maliciously compliant with their rules to drive them nuts. There's usually a way to exploit their systems if you search hard enough.
Example: The first house we purchased was a foreclosure and needed repairing before it was habitable. So we took out a loan that had terms for the repairs. The mortgage paid 50% of the repairs at signing and then another 50% on proof of completion. Well the assholes refused to pay out the second 50% on completion of the repairs for several months.
My wife got a little annoyed and found out that faxing the completed documents was an approved method of submitting the completed documentation.... all 250+ pages of it. My wife also was involved in finances at the time and knew that every-single communication of from a client had to be documented and stored. She then researched further and found around 8 different fax numbers for different levels in the company (including the CEO). So she sent the full packet every day to every single fax number she located (using an automated system on her computer).
It took them 2 days until they called begging her to stop. She said as soon as the check arrived she would stop, until then the faxes would continue. It took them a week after that to get the check to us via overnight special delivery.
Most of the factories infrastructure is designed for human, size, shape, and dexterity.
If the factory was built from the ground up for robotic work it would look very different.
Been self-employed for a bit more than a year now as well. Strangely enough, I really didn't notice much of a difference at first other than the bookkeeping.
I have been in independent advisory roles for a while now. I haven't had a boss know what I was doing on a daily basis since 2010. I had a job to do, but it's was up to me to figure it out and get it done.
I stopped informing anyone when I was taking time off 10 years ago. I have been taking 3-4 weeks in July and 4-5 weeks in Jan-February off for most of a decade now. Officially I only had 2-4 weeks of vacation but, but there was nothing to do during those periods and my old employers paid for my expertise, not time.
As an expert on the subject who has spent my life working with farmers around the globe.
70% of them are fucking superstitious idiots who believe the craziest shit.
25% of them are of average intelligence who do their best and work hard.
5% of the are intelligent wonderful people who are highly technical and skilled.
The socio-economic reasons for why this occurs is interesting (at least to me). Remember farming has had centuries of pressure for migration for rural living to urban. Rural populations are isolated and historically have lacked access to higher education, healthcare, mental health, etc. So you have a constant brain drain, combined with lower relative mental and physical health.
So how the fuck do these morons manage to grow a crop? They outsource the decision making to "trusted advisors". Government agents, agronomist, fieldman, etc. these are the people who are actually making the day to day decisions on most of the these farms. What to fertilize with, what to spray, when to harvest, when to plant etc... they do it all the thinking while the idiots ride around in the luxury tractor cabins letting the GPS stear as they listen to talk radio or watch videos.
It's worth $30 more per year. Aka it's a subscription rate hike.
They hiked up all of the subscriptions. Then made it confusing as fuck to subscribe back to the one that you had.
The stores that would implement this type of thing either have a local monopoly or are targeting the wealthier demographic.
My local fully employee owned grocery store would laugh all the way to the bank if their competitors push this.
Throwing rocks at cars... Tsk Tsk Tsk Well I never!!! Clutches pearls....
In my day we shot rocks at them with our slingshots we made from inner tubes. We were also smart enough to carefully stay hidden in the bushes as they drove by. We had some bugout escape route tunnels carved through some brambles as well.
Instead of a injured/dead ratio of around 1:10 of the casualties. Its been 1:3 this year. That is quite a brutal statistic.
Personally I think it's because of the lack of armor on the battlefield for Russia. They were large moving targets and Ukraine absolutely demolished them. However the troops inside had better chances of surviving a direct hit with only being wounded due to the protection and faster evacuation.
I hereby formally invite your partner to come over and organize my linen dresser. It's in my office and everything is just jumbled in there.
My wife's fluffy white dog I drive around with for work. He likes to eat higher moisture corn and cow shit.
For silage corn the entire plant is harvested, chopped up, and packed tightly in a pile and covered with plastic or very large plastic bag. This creates an anaerobic conditions and yeasts/bacteria convert the sugars to alcohol, then acids. This acid preserves the feed for cattle for up to 2 years.
Silage corn is the most common base feed for all dairies and feedlots.
This isn't even the tallest variety out there. There are others that are 3' (1m) taller.
The machine with the spout is a chopper. They are a million dollar gigantic woodchipper. These things are fucking terrifying and you should absolutely stay out the field when they are running. Every so often a deer jumps into them.....shudder.... nightmare fuel.
Early in the season before a corn plant is waist high it takes a guess on how many kernals it can fill. Sometimes it guesses wrong and so it aborts the top kernals to fill the rest.
The entire top of the damn plant turns bright red.
As sugars build up in the top of the plant with no place to be transported to, the upper leaves start to turn bright red and die back.
You may get a bar bell ear or there may be no ear on the plant. In of field of millions of plants a bright red top narrows the search down.
Start getting your pinky in shape with this weird environmental triggered trait. It's easy to find in any corn field (to be continued...).
This right here is 350bu/acre of corn. 113 day variety on an almost pure sand field. Every damn ear looked the same. Look at that beauty, every kernal is huge and dense.
This here is trichoderma ear rot in an organic field. This 100 day variety was chewed on by an earworm. The damaged kernals allowed trichderma to enter and infect the ear. This ear rot produces many toxins and is a big no for consumption.
The twist - Trichoderma is usually a beneficial organism in the soil. It feeds on other pathogenic fungus/bacteria and is applied extensively for biological control.
Although normally a secondary pathogen, it has mutated to become a primary pathogen in both Italy and Germany in recent years.
This here is a genetically susceptible 113 day variety to fusarium kernal rot. This is a nasty little fungus that produces all sorts of mycotoxins that can give any mammal that consumes it a belly ache or even death. It's easily identifiable by the white streaks in causes in the kernals.
This 98 day little minx has a flirty pink cob. It doesn't look like much but it packs quite the wallop. The ears posted yielded 302bu. Medium high ear placement and a fast drydown makes this an excellent choice for grain.
This is pretty little 102 day number with a bright white cob that threshes very easily. It does extremely well for dry grain, high moisture grain or earlage.
The field in this picture averaged 305bu.
Probably the easiest plant to care for once you figure it out.
I water it every month or two. Fertilize it every 2 or 3 years. Redirect the arial roots into the pot when I water.
It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning.
Every 5 or 6 years I haul it outside in the summer. Then leach the pot with the garden hose to remove the salt buildup. I also hack the plant back to a more manageable size.
They also need to remove the limited liability from companies for intentional illegal activities.
illegal business practices should be charged to the people involved instead of the company. The executives who made the decision to break the law lose personal assets.
Otherwise the shitheads just pass the company losses onto the employees: no raises, hiring freezes, layoffs, reduction in benefits, etc...
AI hardware is a sales pitch without a clear product. Consumers have no clue why they would want to buy something with AI on it.
For most consumers AI is a webpage that kids cheat on homework or adults attempt to cheat at work with. It makes ugly fake pictures with all sorts of weird errors. Its also the annoying as fuck answering services that you have to yell at 4 or 5 times to get to a real person.
Why would an AI PC be desirable?
