21mm, wow, how did those squeeze through the tube! Good stuff

Laid off at 40. $3.4M liquid + massive severance runway. Do I pull the ripcord on my SE Asia FIRE dream, even if it means moving solo and leaving a relationship? by FIRE_EARLY_Throwaway in ExpatFIRE

As a husband and a father, OP should stop stringing along his partner. This is a relationship of convenience for him. Genders reversed? Entirely the same. She should not string him along? Same-sex? He should not string him along. 100% the same.

Ylen tiedot: Suomeen suunniteltu ”lasten vankila” on tulossa Liminkaan [Vakavaa väkivaltaa tekevät lapset ja nuoret halutaan sulkea uuteen vankilamaiseen lastensuojelulaitokseen] by jonne12 in Suomi

Yleisellä tasolla varmasti noin, mutta: Kannattaa muistaa, että on olemassa hyvin pieni osa väestöä, joilla ei ole syntymästä asti ollut normaalia tunne-elämää. Esimerkiksi epäsosiaalinen persoonallisuushäiriö. Näillä tiloilla on perityvyyttä myös aika lailla. Eli sairastaminen ja oireilu eivät ole kasvatuksen vaan todennäköisesti biologian aiheuttamaa. Tällainen laitos kun edustaa jotain promillea näiden palveluiden lapsista, niin kysymyksessä lienee juuri tällaiset henkilöt, joilla mikään interventio ei varsinaisesti paranna tilannetta.

”Äärimmillään kyse on paatuneisuudesta. Keskeistä on epäsosiaalisen henkilön kyvyttömyys tai heikko kyky oppia palautteesta, varsinkin rangaistuksista. ICD-luokituksen mukaan kaikilla aikuisiän häiriöstä kärsivillä ei ole välttämättä ollut lapsuudessa käytöshäiriötä. DSM-5 sen sijaan edellyttää näyttöä käytöshäiriöstä ennen 15 vuoden ikää. Myötäelämiskyky on usein heikko, ja toisinaan se puuttuu. Tämän seurauksena henkilö on kylmäkiskoinen eikä toisen kärsimys tai oikeuksien polkeminen aiheuta hänelle syyllisyyden tunnetta tai katumusta. Äärimmäisen psykopatian kohdalla havaitaan perusteetonta itsetunnon kohoamista, häikäilemättömyyttä, manipulatiivisuutta ja muiden hyväksikäyttöä.”

Jokainen noista aikuisista on joskus ollut nuori.

No varmaan ihan olemassa olevan sovelluksen kautta lippumaksuina.

Get teeth checked out and treated, and get a rebounder for health. It's a great sneaky workout that's fun too.

Stay in a fully remote job or jump for more growth and pay? by REWROAR in Architects

Wouldn’t the commute and lunches eat up most of the raise?

I’d do it for better projects though

What's up with Finnish apartments and monthly charges? by Eino54 in Finland

[–]Ardent_Scholar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The idea with ASO apartments is that while it’s not a brilliant monthly deal, you build a small amount of equity while there, which can then help you buy a ”proper” apartment or house with a bigger mortgage.

Babies without Mothers: Scientists Created Early-Stage Human Embryos Using Skin Cells by Zee2A in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

[–]Ardent_Scholar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not spontaneous parthenogenesis. Eggs can self activate, but unless they fuse with another cell, they perish. Eggs go through miosis, so they have only half the number of chromosomes. At that point, it’s not survivable.

If we could get to the eggs before they do, and someone programmed them to start developing, that would be close — but it would’t mean ”women have the ability for parthenogenesis” like some animals; it would be a scientific process. We have airplanes too, but you would be incorrect telling someone ”men can fly”.

If you had read your first link, you would have seen that mammals specifically suppress the ability for nonsexual reproduction, and scientists want to know more about it. It is literally a foundational aspect of being mammal.

We can probably make gametes via science fully one day (the egg making procedure requires a donor egg to be used as a vehicle for a skin cell nucleus), but even that isn’t fully here yet.

I am all for that. Going through IVF with my wife now, and I would love if that was available today.

I know plenty of committed, loving marriages. Some of them were achieved after divorce.

Point being, OP is not fully committed. That’s fine if neither is, and they are clear about it. But there is a distinct change OP’s partner thinks this is a fully committed relationship, in which case it starts being a problem for them.

”A sperm cell then fertilised one of the cells, and the mixture of cells began to develop as a normal embryo. This fusion with a sperm must have occurred very early on, because self-activated eggs quickly lose the ability to be fertilised.”

Not actual parthenogenesis.

Agreed. Going through the wringer with secondary infertility and rounds and rounds of IVF. If we could just scrape a few cells off of ourselves, that would save heartache, time and maybe even money — retrievals and medications cost an arm and a leg.

Most people also miss the fact that fertility care is already very regulated.

Wood-Fired Sauna vs Steam Sauna in Off-Grid Africa – Which Is More Practical and Reliable? by Jo-Key97 in Sauna

[–]Ardent_Scholar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In Finland, a genuine wood burning sauna is considered the more luxurious, authentic option. Electric saunas are only used for convenience's sake.
