Access to safe abortions (formerly a constitutional right like free speech and guns) will be entirely removed in large parts of the country. Raped by a family member and the pregnancy is threatening your life? Oh well, you have no right to life or bodily autonomy.

A lot of people. Most of my roommates would think of that as a quick shower. What do they do in there? I have no idea.

Real question - does 4x antibodies equal 4x effectiveness? I image that is true for some part of the effectiveness/antibodies curve, but I seems like nonsense that more is better after you hit some critical mass.

Thanks for the links. Where I grew up we used yellow birch twigs because they are a little minty. I didn’t realize it was a thing anywhere else.

Sticks can be bad for dogs because of mouth splinters and certain woods are hard enough to damage teeth. This product makes sense to me even if I would never buy it.

You might be able to flash free firmware to your router like dd-wrt (https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/) and get better options. Not a hard thing to do if you’ve ever installed an OS or are good at following directions.

Sounds fishy. Your hours worked and hourly pay rate should be on the stub. Do those match what you’re expecting? If those are right, there should be deductions amounting to the difference between your expected pay and actual.

Yesterday we had power cut out out of nowhere. Turns out there were ants making a nest in the breakers. I asked my programmer roommate if they would help me debug the system. No laughs at all. Had to have been my timing, right?

Yeah, it should obviously be by a Tesla on autopilot.

Foreign to where?

Yep that’s North and Central America. I am talking about South America too. The entire continent south of Panama. Why would ‘American’ mean North American any more than just meaning from one country?

America is 2 continents…

In my circle people share their papers freely with anyone who asks. You can probably call (yes call) any researcher and have them email you a paper. They wouldn’t care and they aren’t worried about getting sued. The problem is that widespread sharing isn’t done and laypeople don’t feel like it is appropriate to do that.

Good in general, but one thing - it isn’t always a good financial decision to pay debt down. It depends on interest rates. If the bank/credit card/whatever is charging you less interest than you can make on investing, you should choose to invest instead.

Example 1 Credit card charging 20% and expected return on investment 5%. In this situation you should pay the debt.

Example 2 Mortgage at 3% and expected return on investment of 5%. Investing will net you 2% (5%-3%) a year more than paying off your loan.

Note that paying a loan is a guaranteed return while investing is a gamble, so you have to weigh that in personally.

Two reasons I can think of. One - you need money to pay for stuff on the regular. All of that money needs to be freely available whenever you need it. Investments tend not to be able to be cashed out on the fly, I think. Two - you get a guaranteed return instead of gambling on the return of an investment. Depending on what that money is for you might not be willing to take that risk.

Do a line slice some garlic. Do another line chop a potato. Very efficient :)

Who uses a razor blade to cut anything in the kitchen?

Yeah, that looks perfect. Maybe it doesn’t need integration if that is maintained.
