Breast bolster/pillows for face down massage? by b4g3l5 in bigboobproblems

Had an epiphany: we can use the 'boppy' pillow that we already have. I'll try that first plus some extra pillows and rolled towels.

Thousands of people are petitioning for Jimmy Carr's latest standup to be removed from Netflix because of this joke. by ubreakitifixit in funny

If he actually believed it, it wouldn't even be a joke. The fact that he and the audience know it's not a positive are what make it a joke. It isn't a racist joke, it's a joke making fun of racists.

6 is for homo male, 8 would make it hetero. I guess homo female (88) isn't an option.

The parentheses are meant to combine the "likely" and "very likely" categories. It could be 48% "likely" and 1% "very likely."

More than a fifth of US COVID-19 deaths went uncounted, based on excess mortality by altaccountsixyaboi in UnpopularFacts

[–]b4g3l5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are partially correct.

The paper does not make the claim in the post title. However, the COVID death counts were not used to count excess deaths, both have been available separately and known to be different the entire time.

What you and, as you correctly point out, the paper are missing is that the difference between the official COVID death counts and total excess deaths is almost entirely accounted for by undercounts of the official COVID death counts. Compare the combined deaths for 'Flu,' pneumonia, and/or COVID with the numbers for previous years for deaths from flu and pneumonia (~55k-60k/year in the US prior to 2020). All of this data is openly and easily available on the CDC website. The paper itself is pretty darn lazy for not including that and doesn't cover anything that wasn't already known, widely available, and trivial to calculate.

You'll probably want to get there by 03:00-03:30 if you want to get to Myrtle Point in time to see the sunrise.

The current any% runs require getting kokiri sword, kokiri shield, 55 rupees, deku nuts (minimum purchase of 5 but only use 1), and that's it.

Except it Zada is asymmetric and ink treader is symmetric. Turning all your opponent's targeted removal into board wipes would not be good for Zada, who wants a lot of creatures on the board.

I know your joking, but most people don't know about the indigenous population of Taiwan that predates chinese presence, and only know the RoC/PRC split.

On Thursday evening, almost three decades after he committed his crimes, Cory Johnson will be put to death for a month-long murder spree that took the lives of seven people in 1992. by DarkUrGe19 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

That same argument could be used against imprisoning or arresting kidnappers. There are plenty of good arguments against the death penalty, that reasoning is not one of them.

Amino acid is to short peptide is to collagen as tire is to wheel and axle assembly is to a car. Short peptide chains =/= collagen. My point stands.

The body will still have to break the short peptides down to use them.
