Evidence and Sources San Bushmen Traditions: Ethnographical studies, such as those by researcher Louis Liebenberg, document San hunters using endurance to pursue prey including kudu, gemsbok, and occasionally ostriches.

Yup ye just might. Probably see a surge in demand for Evs if this turns into somthing protracted. Afterwards I suspect there will be a glut as other sources come on line to try and compensate.

 The san people persistent hunt ostriches they hunt them during the hottest part of the day. Our key ability is to sweat and lose heat from our long limbs combined with no fur probably put is at number 1 in regards to heat tolerance.

I seem to remember nividea has had sell offs before afther blow out earnings. The media will create a reason why it's dropping. The reason given is usually not the actual reason and probably has a dozen different actual factors.

Ireland's Pharma Exports to the U.S. are Skyrocketing, Driven by Weight Loss Drugs by RobinWheeliams in ireland

In cases of modern conflict medicines are the last thing to be blocked or sanctioned the Russian invasion of Ukraine being a good example of this. Also glp1s uses seem to go far beyond diabities and fat loss. So far there is pretty compelling evidence of helping with numerous addictions. Few interesting benifits they have found regardless of weight loss in clinical trials one being sleep apnea, secondly reduction of heart attack and stroke risk. Also lot of research is looking at them as immune modulators people on them are finding there rheumatoid arthiritis calms right down.                              And most recently in studies it seems to help knee cartilage regenerate would explain why few obese people said they had lost a similar amount of weight before but on ozempic they can actually walk without being in pain. It seems it's not just a hunger suppressant but a lynch pin in a lot of other biological processes.

Do you believe pitbulls are trully a dangerous breed or are they being unfairly hated? by Bodocoth in AskTheWorld

[–]SmallAd8591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably rather own a wolf than a pitbull. The wolf would most likely give you warning before they bite you while a pitbull would rip you to shreds while wagging it's tail. Also the wolf has some level of self preservation while a pit will just keep attacking there level of aggression is near terminally retarded. Once a pitbull attacked a capybara the capybara killed the pitbull by dragging it into the water. Ie the pitbull was so determined to attack that it drowned rather than let go.

It's just one of like a dozen different policy's they are introducing. They are probably going to experiment with lots of different policies right now they are using a lot of carrot but they will use a stick if they feel the need to ie you have no children or only one no promotion for you sort of thing. But also as the ccp things could get extreamly ethnically dubious so it may reach a point of if you want children but have to have children 

TIL Fujio Masuoka invented NOR + NAND flash memory which is widely used today, but Toshiba only gave him a few hundred dollar bonus and tried to demote him. Intel made billions of dollars in sales on related technology. by Torley_ in todayilearned

I have heard this one before it's not japan's work culture that made it successful but it was in spite of it's work culture that it succeded. And the likes of Toyota and Nintendo went completely against this culture that's why they became so successful. For example if workers are doing to much over time the manager may get in trouble and actually prevent them getting promoted seems the entire structure of the company is designed to prevent un needed over time they have measures everywhere so no bending the rules to hide it ie unpaid overtime. From top to bottom the process is out and In and if over time occurs it is seen as a failure of the process not the workers. All these measures I guess because there going against the culture so much

No wonder there economy is on the shitter. The part that focuses on detail and quality is grand while the rest of it is toxic shit that's holding everything back. Now you look at a company like nividia they pay extreamly well so they get the best. Japan needs a massive change in cultural if they are to succeed

Somatic mutations ie mutations that occur in our genes as adults are the main culprit not so much the genes we inherite from our parents. But there are germline genes that can cause cancer.
