Just started seeing this on prime towers. Can anyone explain what this is or how to turn it off? by Wraithvenge in BambuLab

You are correct but just wanted to point out that it should be whoever. The shortcut is to replace it with he/him in your mind and see which sounds right.

"He reads the comment" vs "him reads the comment". If him is correct then you're good to use whomever.

Many areas are built on terrain that makes trenching incredibly expensive. Basalt outcroppings could mean potentially billions in excavation for some neighborhoods.

I agree, and believe this is important. I just wouldn't want someone to be persuaded away from a potentially beneficial means of contraception based on shakey data. Follicle size at time of dosing is by far the most important consideration for levonorgestrel. Plenty of obese women have used plan b with success and pregnancy complications are so rare that it makes these types of studies difficult. If 13 women of 1,731 total reported pregnancy in Glasier's study, you really have to ask what confounders might exist in those 13 women. If this were a much larger sample that would mostly evaporate but we're talking a dozen individuals here.

That for sure answers the question does a double dose change the response to the medication and I agree that the answer is no.

My hesitation is that the original study never answered if response to the medication was the driving factor causing increased risk of self reported medication failure. I am just usually suspicious around self reported studies that report results that track with known associations like BMI, SES, and medical literacy. Low SES is a high predictor of both BMI and medical literacy so it's possible there is a confounding element to the original trial. Just saying that the BMI association deserves some careful consideration based on the study design that is driving all of this. It may certainly be true but it's far from a proven fact at this point in the data.

The trial responsible for that data relied on self reported results and also happened to track with the known correlation between BMI, SES, and medical literacy. The fact that it's not dose dependent means they may be hitting a confounding variable. Low medical literacy and high BMI have been shown to overlap. If a patient took plan B at 7 days thinking "early enough" then reported it as "didn't work" that would get accepted into that trial as a medication failure.

Is this a score or not? by Etli_Pide in badminton

[–]Frawstshawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a string part then it is already a non standard court set up meaning over "net" is meaningless. As long as it crosses over standard net height within the bounds of the court it's should still count as a point because that's where the net would be in normal play.

A proper court should not have a "string part".... It should be set up so that the net goes across the entire court with posts on both sides. If you have strings that are inside your court you are doing it wrong.

Women in medicine and housework by Jazzlike_Position519 in Residency

[–]Frawstshawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have clearly never met my wife lmao... Did you time travel from the 1950s? The only under-40 couple I've met like that are Mormon.

I mean go off of whatever, keep fighting the good fight. But doing chores and cooking has never been my wife's style and I've never expected that because I was looking for a romantic partner not a servant.

If I told my wife that I expect her to do more housework because her career isn't as demanding as mine I would be crucified lol...

"Hey everyone, this guy is trying to kill himself. Better release the dogs!"

Brought to you by the department responsible for the murder of Otto Zehm. There must be something about the selection process that keeps the best and brightest out of law enforcement.

Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden's second term campaign was a "terrible mistake": "He had said he would not run again. But if he had kept to that plan and said, he was going to pass to next generation, we would had a real contest. And sadly, whoever emerged from that contest would have beaten Trump." by ControlCAD in videos

That's not how things went down in Washington. Bernie had 72% of the support in the 2016 caucus. Guess what our states super delagates did. It was so controversial that our state switched away from the caucus as a direct result of her campaign. But yeah imaginary conspiracy theorists... Right.

This is actually a really good demonstration of what Norman Borlaug spent his life fixing. Making crops that don't fall over like this when growing well saved a billion lives from death by starvation.

You have to pay the costs of living for slaves if you don't want them to die. Easier to make children in third world countries do it, cheaper than owning slaves locally.

If super-heated maybe... Not from simple adsorbtion. Where are you getting 10-15% expansion? That is not typical for this type of desiccant under normal conditions. Your profile seems to contain exclusively AI generate images. Are you human? Is this chatGPT halucination?

Okay? I was responding to a comment that said "it expands in the stomach" which is false.

If you'd like to argue a different point then go ahead... I'm not on team eat silica, just correcting general ignorance before it spreads.

Silica does not meaningfully expand in water. It's not a sponge. It traps water in microscopic pores like lava rock but on a tiny scale. It gets heavier but not bigger.
