Superwarfarin

Superwarfarins are highly potent vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants that are used as rodenticides. They are called superwarfarins because they are much more potent and long acting than warfarin.[1]

Examples

Several examples that have been classed by scientists as superwarfarins include:

gollark: ... are you ignoring cost here?

gollark: I just go for whichever one actually works best instead of supporting one for no good reason.

gollark: Meanwhile, AMD has perfectly functional in-kernel open source drivers.

gollark: They use them to do artificial market segmentation (limited transcoding and stuff on consumer cards), so they can't really open-source them without (*the horror*) being more consumer-friendly.

gollark: No sense buying a more expensive product which performs the same, and Nvidia's Linux driver support is *evil*.
