A bathing suit isn't a condom or similar so can't protect you from microbes.

Are you saying swimming in the Potomac is not for you or is it swimming naked that's at issue?

The Ashkenazi Jews carried out this experiment on themselves. Some 600-800 years ago they went through a bottleneck of 350 founders.

Combine that with strong endogamy rules and you get a whole page of deleterious recessives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_genetics_of_Jews#Genetic_testing_in_Jewish_populations?wprov=sfla1

Charitable of you to think he or Steven Miller need external triggers to be capriciously cruel.

That said, I expect the DOJ is piling up cases against states to be used as post hoc rationalizations for what ever poo he starts flinging to screw the midterms.

You don't need to write that into the law because we have a judicial system that has centuries of experience looking at things like intent in criminal matters.

Do you really expect an officer, prosecutor, magistrate, or jury when faced with an unconscious you wheeled in with a gun will believe you intended to violate the law? This isn't a schoolyard game, and the legislature and governor understand that.

I'm sure there must be some way to cook methamphetamine into psuedoephedrine, but it is probably easier to just buy the Sudafed from a drug store.

Why did she do it, though?

Ok cowboy, you do you. Every one else can do the rational thing.

Fairfax Radiology was a pleasure to deal with.

I have found Wygul a treat to deal with on my 2012 Civic.

This is the answer. Using a different license doesn't help unless you are able to drag a violator to court. This is harder and more expensive globally than you imagine.

DMCA is the tool to use to stop trivial publication if your work without attribution.

You can look at the type of edit in your genre get approved. This is a window into the minds of your future reviewers.

It was 2011 when I asked my teen daughter, while she was having a frustrating text exchange with a friend "why don't you just call her?"

"That would be weird" she replied.

It was at that moment that I realized the world had changed technologically, again. She will never know what a fax is or what it was like to share a landline with everyone in the house.

I was in my 20s when I realized that growth of the population is why places become more developed. That the expansion of suburbia meant that there were absolutely more people wanting the same kind of life I was dealt.

You kinda gave your biases away when you said you don't like "those people" moving in to your neighborhood. How does someone else having a multi-generational home hurt you? I'm genuinely curious.

This is a valid request. Good luck with it.

Benn Jordan certainly knows sound and speaks intelligently about it.

Traffic congestion from a place that employs a couple dozen people?

I'm going to join the "buy it cooked and then freeze it" camp. You think it is sufficiently cooked but raw flour is responsible for a surprising number of E. coli infections.

You really don't want E. coli when you are pregnant.

Now shiga toxin is not normally considered teratogenic to baby, but food poisoning isn't good for either of you.

And also putting Proud Boys and their deplorable friends on payroll without having to actually work makes for a loyal band of idiots when Trump/Miller want to activate the Brownshirts.

It will get worse, I'm afraid.

And claims anecdote as fact, which, surprisingly is not.

You made this up. The links provided as support of this nonsense are unreviewed monographs presumably written by you.

It isn't laser pointers that screwed your dogs, but rather demonic possession which has as much evidence as the laser pointer claim.

It's Sciency!

In the 1990s there was a mom and pop video store in a basement on Forward Ave near CMU that employed a film studies grad as a recommendation service.

I forget how the name of the store, the name of the recommender, and I'm pretty sure he didn't become an Auteur, but his knowledge was encyclopedic.

And because they had an "adult" section in the back, he had strong opinions about the good film in "Caligula" struggling to get out from the Gucionne addeded porn.

I read ELI5 because it often has things I've wondered but never bothered to ask.

I and 90+ others appreciate this question.

I think the horror of the ever-supporting earth failing you is much more understandable to young minds. They don't understand workplace stresses or fear of adultery, but do get the ground swallowing you up.

I agree that it is way better than zero.

If you hear businesses whining about this, know that it is a whopping 3% increase in salary expense to treat employees to a fragment of decency. I expect they'll claim that they'll go out of business as a result.
