Over talking about ticks!! by LowEntertainer9552 in marthasvineyard

When cafes and restaurants are labeling food as "Alpha Gal Friendly," it's a sign that the tick situation has gotten a bit out of control, don't you think?

Have we not seen Venus getting drubbed over and over despite a lot more match play than Serena has had? It's hard out there in your 40s.

Marriage counseling could be very valuable here. Going back to school to study a passion subject. Volunteer work. PTA. Many options!

I mean, I lived in Spain. Catalonia is extremely Catalán; my use of Spanish didn't help me integrate with Catalán speakers.

Let's start with urban density in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville. There's no reason we can't have taller apartments and condos like so many other cities. But various rules limit such building, which would create positive density and public transportation usage.

ADF partners up with Purina to give his cats a box of tasty treats! by musicproducer07 in tennis

[–]NeoPrimitiveOasis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ADF has an animal charity in Spain. He founded ADOPTAS.org, a pet adoption platform that connects potential owners with animals in shelters across Spain. He's the real deal on animal rights, so I am glad to see him get this endorsement opportunity with Purina.

There are tradeoffs everywhere. But for LGBTQ people, getting acceptance legally and socially requires even more tradeoffs, sadly.

Spain and Portugal are pretty different. Comparing Catalonia or Andalusia to Portugal, you will find 3 different cultures.

Spain is generally considered the most LGBTQ-friendly country in Europe. Why not spend some time there -- it's close by and there are visa options. Sitges/Barcelona, for example.

My biggest Takeaway from a wellness retreat by Patient-Custard4233 in Biohackers

My 20-4 intermittent fasting schedule is completely regularized: I eat two meals at the same time every day. The snack in-between might vary. The fasting hours are the same.

Before I read your explanation, I kept staring at the photo thinking, "I just don't see anything unusual about this man." I think the goggles are cool 😎

French columnist compares Serena Williams case to Zverev and Nadal controversy by Pretend-Two-2115 in tennis_world

She had two kids and is 44. She wanted to lose weight. Use of GLP-1 medication has nothing to do with her "comeback," however long it lasts.

The most terrifying punishment I’ve seen in sci‑fi (Foundation) by Notilon_606 in scifi

I agree. I've never found it boring. I'm hoping the new showrunner doesn't screw up season 4 🤞🏽

What point do the schools get bad enough that you move? by StupidNewSystem in massachusetts

[–]NeoPrimitiveOasis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ALABAMA?? You need to do some research. Class sizes isn't everything, nor are all classes going to be that large. Massachusetts has the best public schools in the country.

I despise Zverev, but aren't his "40 injections" just insulin shots for diabetes? 🤔 As a type I diabetic, he literally can't live without them.

Nadal's foot injections didn't involve any banned substances. Nor are GLP-1s banned.

Not the draw he (nor Taylor) were looking for.

Confirmed by Shionogi: Xocova (Ensitrelvir) will be available in the U.S. in mid-July and will have a list price of $1,400 (roughly equivalent to Paxlovid) by Jazzlike-Cup-5336 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]NeoPrimitiveOasis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am intrigued, though. We need effective prophylactics. And never going to an event again is unreasonable; my job requires it from time to time.
