That could be part of the bit, and even if it’s not on purpose it fits it

What’s a little uncertain here is how smoke exposure could have primed your lungs to be more susceptible to covid infection and its damage. Regardless, life is full of things that you can’t perfectly predict or control or know, and it’s not healthy to torture yourself with the what ifs.

Ehhh… It is a mixed bag. Especially older japanese people can be very racist and elitist, particularly towards Chinese people.

I have very reactive skin, I’m allergic to a lot of wound care, especially adhesives (sticky things) making bandages a pain, but also apparently the hydrocolloid material too. I can’t use neosporin or I break out in itchy patches and hives spread from the location and it certainly doesn’t help a wound heal. I used to be able to use bacitracin, but started reacting to that now, too.

I have a bad burn and yesterday bought a “curad” cream with silver as a antimicrobial. I have yet to try it out.

Errr she didn’t exactly “look the other way…” Im pretty sure a lot of greek mythology was about Hera being pretty pissed off about her Husband’s infidelity.

You would hope Zeus never favored you, because Hera would torment you forever for the crime of attracting his favor…

My cat puts up with this same amount and more manhandling as I smother him with my love kisses and annoyingness.

He will try to maul and murder a vet tech, though. Wish it wasn’t the case, but I’m different to him I guess.

they could just put together little plastic bags to toss one easy to pick up batch.

That could be because they were abused or traumatized at some point and associate it with being taken in :’(. At least the cat can be somewhat conditionally comfortable with people and get some love and care.

I’m lactose intolerant, will germans dislike me?

Please feed me cheese and bread, yes! Also I get a couple hours walking to figure out if they’re a crazy before being indoors, possibly with a blocked exit… sounds better than some other dates i’ve been on.

It’s a 50% chance to inherit. His older sister died as a kid, so she may have had it and just never got to the age to show symptoms. Genetic testing for it wasn’t even available in his lifetime.

Huntington’s was only first documented in a medical journal in 1872. Genetic sequencing for it took until 1993.

A significant factor is the onset is usually later in life, like around 35-45+. Historically, people had children much younger than that, before they would show symptoms.

There’s a 50% chance a child will inherit the faulty gene from a parent with it.

Also, for most of history people didn’t have access to reliable (let alone affordable) contraceptives nor any gene testing.

An ob/gyn interviewed also explained that fever during the first trimester has been more conclusively linked to causing birth defects. (It’s even been separated out that it’s not the infection but specifically sufficiently high body temp during the critical stage of “embryogenesis.”)

The rhetoric that women should just “suck it up” about pain is not only callous to how hard even a “healthy” pregnancy already is, it ignores that Tylenol is used to reduce fever and how a fever can be damaging.

NPR radio reported that while some studies showed a positive correlation, others showed no correlation, and still others even showed a negative correlation. So the association is not very consistent or clear, even before you get into how correlation differs from causation.

You know, I think he just might have had a healthier diet, too.

Yes exactly. Party balloons are a made of lighter/thinner material. That blow up doll probably wasn’t meant to be used as a balloon and so the plastic is too thick and heavy.

Party balloons are usually much lighter/thinner material, I think this doll wasn’t meant to be used as a balloon and has too thick/heavy plastic for it. Plus the cloth further weighs it down.

I think there’s more to it than just being slim, some people have very particular body proportions and rations.

What kind of beauty and the beast bullshit town did that dude’s head live in, anyway?

My dad was so proud when he made “a million.” It’s his retirement fund. He and my mother aren’t very well, and with cost of living and their health issues I actually do worry it isn’t enough. Money is so weird to try to measure and make meaningful.

You hopefully wouldn’t tell somebody “just try harder” if they had something like kidney disease or intestinal ulcers. But when something affects the brain, people abstract it as less physical, even when the brain is a bodily organ, too. Still, you probably recognize the absurdity of telling a person with seizures just to try harder to not have them. So why can you not extend that same grasp of disorders physically affecting mental processes like decision making or motivation?

I mean, bibliotherapy has some backing, too. I constantly recommend the book “Feeling Good” by Dr. Burns. It’s based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and there’s even been some studies that showed reading it works at least as well as taking antidepressants. Perhaps the programmed responses Eliza gave just had some generally good content applicable in a lot of situations.

They don’t even seem to have heels though?

My cat has a pill for when he has a bout of the barfs (he makes too much stomach acid). I would give it to him with a treat. He learned to fake gag to try to get more treats.

He crouches and waits for me to look his way to do it, though. So if I’m not sure if he’s fake or real sick, I use my phone to look behind my shoulder at him to see if he’s still doing it when I’m facing away.

People in his circle are also injecting themselves with peptides and steroids and HGH and sometimes testosterone. They aren’t necessarily from reputable or regulated sources, either.

You ever hear or watch a video of someone trying wayyy to hard when singing the National Anthem? Like when they act like there’s a reward for how many different notes they hit on every word, if not syllable… at some point it becomes a parody.

Most dogs... there might be a couple out there. There’s this clip of a cat that seems it could be passing it, pawing at its ears, even though cats aren’t typically thought to pass the test, either.

Some research scientists reevaluated the capability of birds to grasp musical beat only after they saw youtube videos of a pet cockatoo demonstrating clear anticipation of it. It prompted a study to prove it. Previously, timing was believed to be beyond their capability.

The magic of the internet.

It’s not just them, no, but breeds very much determine danger risk.

Chihuahuas are feisty little things that are prone to biting, but they have tiny mouths, may just work themselves up into an asthma attack, and you can punt all 4 pounds of them away from you if you have to.

Pit bulls will be more around 50 pounds, heavily muscled, have an especially powerful jaw, and had behavior traits selected for that make them really clamp down and not stop once they start an attack.
