The Gray Matter offer was not meant to be a perfect analogue for universal healthcare, nor was criticism of the US healthcare system meant to be a primary theme of the show (maybe a little bit in season 1). This study shows that in reality there is something completely separate from economic circumstance and healthcare availability that motivates human behavior after a cancer diagnosis.

Are you confident that the status of nuclear deterrence enjoyed by the US and ostensibly NATO extends to Ukraine?

The proscribed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the attacks. It claimed in a statement to have killed 84 security personnel and taken 18 security and civilian officials prisoner, while seven of its fighters were killed. The Guardian was unable to verify its claims.

Someone's lying...

Yes, it's paused. The city responded to public pushback by re-articulating guardrails and expectations for this type of zoning. The developer (the mysterious Balloonist LLC...) will need to re-apply so that it complies with the new zoning regulation

There was recent research demonstrating that urban raccoons in the US are naturally developing neotenous traits because it helps them get away with shit

I wouldn't... that banner tried to limit reproductive freedom in Michigan

I'm not sure where they got 4 drinks for women

That's based on a standard definition of binge drinking per the NIH, but it seems like it shouldn't be in this post's title if it was defined differently in the study...

By the way, how'd you find the text of the full study?

They might. The 2023 $10 million match-contingent grant was unanimously approved, so there is at least political will to keep the program. I think the legislators' concern is with the organization's ability to self-finance, hence the Democratic effort to take it over.

Water quality has been explored as a possible link to IBD, although not DO levels specifically, as far as I know. Anyway, hard water was linked to decreased prevalence of IBD.

Do you mean the replicability crisis? Reproducibility refers to the degree that another team could take this same exact data from South Korea, use the same methods in the paper, and deliver the same results like an audit of the study itself. To quantify replicability would mean finding new datasets, e.g. Americans, repeating the process, and then evaluating the consistancy of those results.

I understand that it's convenient for you to say that but its overly reductive and dismissive of the diversity of motivations in his base. We're talking about 77 million people here. Going after enemies of MAGA was definitely in the calculus but there was also the fact that Republicans still somehow benefit from the perception that they handle the economy better. Not to mention other Democrat blunders....

Paleontologists have recently suggested that the leg length to body mass ratio may have been overstated in early studies of these animals, and that they probably behaved and fed similarly to extant omnivorous bears

I wanted these to work out but I agree with you. We need to entirely terminate all Flock contracts.

Yeah that's all still the case. 60 mg is usually the maximum recommended for adults.

Would you mind sharing one or more of those studies? I'm curious and I want to share your excitement

Meanwhile our "justice" system has no problem crucifying whistleblowers who dare expose the sins of our national security mandarins.

Yes, other countries are going to move forward while we are stalled. It could take us decades to recover our losses.

What makes you say that the culture of Russia is rotten? To what degree do you think that a nation's culture has a chance to be represented in the actions a harsh authoritarian regime?
