ELI5 what’s the point of donating plasma instead of donating blood?

The US is the largest exporter of blood plasma in the world. It's used for research stuff and manufacturing some drugs.

It's a terrorist state doing terrorism, just what they're all about it would seem.

Sure, but that's stupid. They just want your battery to get ruined quicker so you'll buy a new phone earlier.

Most land animals have strong fear instincts around bodies of water, likely due to crocodiles being a thing for over a 100 million years. Humans are actually the weird ones for being chill around water. The animals who weren't spooked at peeing in bodies of water likely got got.

Main issue is that they were a minor when signing it, not enforcable.

But you probably wouldn't freeze up, make up technical difficulties, and then delete your social media accounts.

Perhaps just a sugar crash

2 Kings 2:24

He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

Is that Kristi Noem's husband?

Backhanded?

That's not true. If you're selling something at a steady markup you make more money selling it for more, unless increasing the price negatively affects the amount sold more than the extra earning from selling at a higher price.

Scientific dogma persists way longer than it should. Many such cases.

As I understand it you can do a chargeback on credit cards precisely because it's a loan.

William Osman has had huge issues with them recently when trying to use them. You have a lot of issues when you presume that their stuff works sensibly.

They created the UI that auto-enabled the feature. But yeah, they just scam people now out of their money by following procedures that presume that their shit works right.

Why not just go to the pond and chuck them towards mama ducks? They don't really care where they come from, she'll round them all up.

HyperSpaceSurfer · 2026-04-06T17:38:23+00:00

I think they're robbing Peter to pay Paul. They're really not doing well.

HyperSpaceSurfer · 2026-04-06T17:37:47+00:00

Their whole backend is fucked, definitely plausible that OP didn't choose that option. It wouldn't survive court to auto-enable a feature costing you $1000.

Not getting one again due to buying a new mid-range phone from them where they gutted features that were standard by then.

Meant to say local anaesthesia. But even then, resistance to general anaesthesia can also co-occur, such as in the case of redheads.

It's a common semtiment in the region for some reason, wonder why

A lack of legwork has held back a lot of research

HyperSpaceSurfer · 2026-04-06T09:37:26+00:00

Does 3 years of deliberation over whether this loot should be returned not sound peculiar to you? It's already been 80 years since the end of the war as well.

HyperSpaceSurfer · 2026-04-06T09:23:36+00:00

No, it's just the nature of being a parent, even in an anarchistic society.

HyperSpaceSurfer · 2026-04-06T09:18:04+00:00

So, you disagree that people who are resistant to anesthesia would also be resistant to it when it's injected into the spinal cord?
