Chemical engineering PhD graduate. I get to use the 3D printers for work now, which is awesome! In my spare time, I build working props for cosplay.

Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Why are people insisting this is NJ?

I agree with you, and I don't think it's just a US problem where women get talked down to by doctors. But I feel like this article is a bit biased in making that conclusion for us. You even say "no one gets to touch them, until the situation changes." Didn't the situation change, based on what we read in the article?

I was writing in response to another comment. You don't have to justify anything, but know this: this is NOT just an American problem. This is a global issue (this regime, as well as an international rise in fascism). It may be America's responsibility, but unfortunately it's everyone's problem.

You're right. I live in a less rational country where after turning down a medical procedure, a patient could potentially turn around and sue the hospital.

I envy how you guys can rally around a cause so well, like when they tried to raise your retirement age. Here, there's just so much that needs to change. It seems daunting and I'm pretty sure nobody wants to make the first move.

If a date was set and a lot of people get on board, I'd gladly join in. I could go a few weeks without making purchases or working, but I doubt a lot of Americans are in a position to do the same.

Realistically (and without getting angry on the internet), can you give me and my fellow Americans some advice on what we should do? I voted against this administration. I protest. I advocate to the students I teach. What more can I do? The only thing I don't do is act like an armchair warrior from the safety of another computer over 5000km away.

And what have you done exactly?

Upon further reading, it seems like a case where the parent could not refuse life-saving treatment for their "child" and the court made the stipulation where a c-section can be performed in an emergency. Whether or not the fetus should be considered a child is a different debate, but that was the reasoning.

The patient refused, but could not be turned away as she was in labor. The hospital did what it legally needed to do to protect itself and allow the patient not to have a c-section. The situation turned into an emergency, which is why the hospital performed the c-section (they are allowed to in an emergency situation). Whether you believe the situation was an emergency or not is up to you.

As long as they are informed and there is no emergency, I agree. So did the judge based on the article. An emergency came up and a c-section was performed. What's the issue here?

Where was the overreach? The hospital (not the government) recommended c-section. The patient refused. It's a risk for the patient and hospital. They got lawyers involved to cover their asses. When the fetus's heart rate dropped, the mom got a c-section.

Just an FYI, you're not allowed to put yourself at risk either. Everyone is quick to jump on "the fetus isn't alive" train, but the mom was endangering herself and putting the hospital at risk. The hospital involved lawyers to cover themselves.

I clicked this expecting a new dump. Now I gotta slink off back to the dumpster to find more content.

But she's right. The "dark side" refers to the part of the moon that never faces the earth due to tidal locking. It doesn't mean it never gets sunlight and it is the correct terminology. Source: I can use Google and have a pretty good reading compression.

Rose jumped back onto the ship after Jack was already saved from being handcuffed. The implication in the movie was that he still wouldn't get a lifeboat anyway, so I'm not sure how her coming back led to his death.

Maybe you could argue it would have been easier for him as a single person to sneak onto a lifeboat. Or maybe he would have fit on the wooden bedframe at the end of the movie if she weren't there.

My complaint is that another person could have used the space when she left.

My guess is ~20 meters. Coke is bottled at around 3 atm, and each additional 10m of water adds another atmosphere of pressure. (For reference, 20m is an fairly standard openwater dive depth).

That's wrong. Salt is (slightly) endothermic. Your reasoning is correct, as it brings the temperature down. It also lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt, which is much more endothermic. (Endothermic processes absorb heat while exothermic release heat)

I teach and have a 403(b). I don't have a choice whether or not I pay into it. 5% goes in automatically. They match 8%. If that were my only job, that'd be a great example of living paycheck to paycheck and still putting into a retirement fund.

I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone recognized the area. I've been going to that shoprite for over a decade.

He's an artist who was probably filming the entire process, and just cut out this part. Not too unbelievable tbh.

Then check them. Make sure the sources are real, existent, and relevant.

Over the years i got to be quite the connosseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness.

Not to spoil the fun, but apparently when that top screw is in, the bottom two come out.
