Shhhh, you’re supposed to say “incarcerated individuals leased to public and private companies”

Clearly it’s working as intended

Sounds like neighbor problem, not a firework one

Gotta get up to get down.

Are you getting enough oxygen? flex

For sure. Humans are super social and our big brains enable so much verbal, nonverbal, and written communication that we became more efficient as a group. All the greatest things out there, bridges and sky scrapers and roads were built by teams, not an individual, because of our strong communication skills.

Never heard the equine reference before. Anyone know where that came from?

There are lots of reasons that one area of your company may make less money. It’s like how the NYC subway or post office technically don’t “make money” but the value they bring to the whole system is a net positive by enabling all the other companies to make way more.

You made a post about how great the design is based on screenshots? And didn’t think to use the site yourself?

Oops! All fascists! I’ll assume good faith here so I suggest you close the door, back away slowly, and hope no one saw you in there.

Find the right men. There are 4 billion men out there and many are able to communicate and be there for friends. It may take moving into some peripheral spaces where different experiences and points of view are appreciated.

That’s very wise. Just keep it in mind especially if you use pot.

Ulcers usually wouldn’t cause morning nausea on their own. There is a different set of symptoms like pain with or without food consumption, seeing black specks in vomit that look like coffee grounds, and so on.

Also, you may have two problems. You can have both going at the same time and shouldn’t stop at the first possible explanation for your discomfort.

That’s what I’m saying: make your own without those things and you know exactly what’s in it.

Also, just curious if you use pot regularly. Long term daily use >10 years is associated with morning nausea and cramping and dry heaving, mouth watering and hot flashes. Hot baths or showers tend to stop the immediate symptoms. It’s called hyperemesis syndrome and goes away when people stop smoking/consuming.

• there is current debate about whether this is a withdrawal symptom or a toxicity syndrome and it’s being studied.

I get it mild and prevent the worst parts by not smoking after 9pm the night before.

You can make your own. Rehydration solutions are sugar, sodium, and potassium. You can use regular table salt for the sodium and “cream of tartar” in the spice section (it’s a powder) is a source of potassium.

If you are interested, look up how much to use and then go wild. The premade bottles like Gatorade are exactly the same ingredients. They might have a bit of citric acid to make it tangy so the salty is covered and it gets rid of dry mouth.

Tylenol can be taken with ibuprofen to increase pain or fever relief. Just follow directions for both.

Ah, well this just happens to be something I’m into! There is a NOVA movie about the chicxulub (pronounced chick-zaloob) asteroid that hit Mexico and initiated the extinction of the dinosaurs. It’s called The Day the Dinos Died, season 44 episode 21. It’ll show you the ways scientists use different pieces of evidence to create a timeline of the destruction based on new fossils in South Dakota. Very new and cutting edge. They actually found a fragment of the original asteroid.

At the time, our mammal ancestor was kinda like a squirrel rat, nocturnal and lived underground. It would take 5 million more years before our intrepid grandma would venture out of the ground and inherit the Earth. 65 million years later, mammals are the wonderful animals we see today.

Ok, want your mind blown? There is a book called Evolution by Stephen Baxter. It’s fiction but it tells the story of hominid evolution starting from the Chicxulub asteroid. Each chapter is a segment of the life of one likely ancestor on the road to modern humans over those 65 million years. It’s very well written and puts together many well accepted pieces of evidence in a compelling way.

By the way, physical anthropology is the name of the field that covers hominid and human evolution and is it’s own subject.

10 years is actually considered not bad by most academic standards. The core ideas of evolution via selection, genetics, and population dynamics (the kinds of things taught in any general biology class in high school and college) really haven’t changed much in 25 years.

You may want to find a biology class and learn about the vocabulary, founding principles, and big ideas. Here is a free open source biology textbook, chapter 18 starts the unit on evolutionary processes. And keep watching YouTube! There are tons of good videos aimed at different levels. “Crash Course” with Hank Green is fantastic and the series covers many academic science topics as an entire course. Biology alone has 20 or 30 ten-minute episodes.

Not exactly. Medical debt is different compared to retail debt like credit cards. It still sucks but the rules are different to protect people at least a little bit.

And I’m still paying less (although the margin is smaller now) than when I had to choose a cable tv package. Even with inflation.

A la carte channels are what we wanted for 50 years and this is pretty close. Don’t get me wrong, I pirate everyday because fuck’em, but it’s better than cable.

You got it, choom
