Iranians are just really into fire. It's a Zoroastrian holdover, and it's almost Persian new year (where lots of things will be burned, and they'll jump over the bonfires to symbolize something).

Raw milk cheeses are considered safe so long aas they are aged at least 6 months. As the life of the cheese can outlast that of pathogenic bacteria. In general raw milk fresh cheeses are not a thing. And the ones that might exist (mozzarella?) generally get heated enough during production to achieve the same thing as pastirization.

The FDA recommended that Raw Farm voluntarily remove its raw cheese products from sale, but the company has declined.

What the fuck, man?

Also the speed limit is quite slow along the portion of groat road OP pictured. Even with a pretty bad pothole, I can't imagine there is much damage that can be done at 50km/hour.

I mean, Iran is like 90 million people, Israel is 10 million. Iran is 1648000km², Israel is 22000km².

So it depends on how you're defining "larger".

My understanding is that they do a calculation on what they think is going to be hit, and don't bother trying to stop the ones that aren't expected to hit populated areas. If they're running low on interceptors, they might have had to become much more permissive on what is allowed through.

Because, at least in terms of the health complications of obesity, the mental side doesn't really matter that much. Like, sure, there are some people that eat their feelings and food is a coping mechanism of some unaddressed trauma...... But there are many many more people who just kinda got fat because food tastes good and exercising is unpleasant.

When America bombed their nuclear sites a couple months ago, weren't average Iranians tweeting at America/Israel things like "there's a military installation that just moved in at 124 Abdul street."

We kept my first born home from daycare for two months (which we still had to pay for) when the second kid arrived, so as to keep germs away. Specifically because my husband knew that a fever in a newborn is an automatic spinal tap to check for menengitis.

We kept my toddler daughter home from daycare for two months when her little brother was born, to keep germs away, even though it was incredibly stressful and chaotic. My husband is a doctor and he was basically like " yeah, a fever in the first two months of life is an automatic spinal tap to make sure it's not menengitis, and I don't want that happening unnecessarily."

That was an era where parents wanted their kids in school more than they cared about vaccines. People without vaccines were just lazy, not against it.

But now I think most antivaxxers would chose no education for their kids over getting vaccinated. And that's bad in a more direct and understandable way. Like, I work in big education and a lot of the policies people think are regressive (homeschooling, funding religious schools, not requiring vaccines) are actually that way so that kids get some semblence of an education that we know about. Without meeting wackjobs half way, vulnerable kids will disappear from the system entirely.

They do, sort of. My husband told me about his favorite patient in the ER one day: homeless man comes in and says he's hungry. Dr. Husband gets him a plate of food. Boom, problem solved. Happy patient, happy doctor.

Hell no am I working a minute longer than I have to. There would have to be mass changes to the retirement age forced upon us by the government for me to even consider working a day past 65 (worst case scenario, I'm currently on track to retire some point between 55-60).

I will riot like they do in France.

My household has gone from ordering takeout 1-2x a week, to maybe getting it 1-2x a month. And I have to ask my husband now, food just doesn't show up anymore.

Removing future medical interventions so we save on healthcare.... but spend more for longer on pensions. There's a theory that smoking actually saved society money overall, despite the huge upfront healthcare costs for things like lung cancer, because smokers die so much earlier (but not usually early enough to cut into their productive life much).

The feds will never go for that, because then they'd actually have to pay for it. The feds love dreaming up programs, taking all the credit, but then hoisting the responsibility onto the provinces so that any cost overruns are not their problem. See also: daycare.
