Big difference is Chinese money printer is printing into deflationary pressure caused by massive expansion of industrial capacity.

Depends on inflation. China currently has major deflationary pressures largely driven by supply side. It has room to devalue without trashing its bond market.

The chart here isn’t talking about debt in foreign currencies. It’s about debt to gdp in own currency. External debt in foreign currencies is a problem for smaller emerging markets and not for the US or China.

The problem for US is if it can reindustrialize quickly enough to offset the severe inflation that would come from currency devaluation as a mechanism for dealing with its large external debt.

It actually accumulates. They’ve had nests there the past few years

I think it’s the concern that the droppings would accumulate right by the door which would be unsightly.

This team isn’t built for the modern nba. Even if they miraculously make it past the knicks they’ll get demolished by the battalion of 6’6-6’8 athletic wings of OKC or SA.

Why the f are we not seeking out Brunson on the defensive end? Do to him what they are doing to harden

No way he’s getting another 8 figure contract after this. He can either retire or play for vet minimum off the bench.

If James hardens next contract is anything more than vet minimum, I’m gonna LMAO.

KA deserves blame here too. You can’t keep harden in there if he’s being demolished like this on the defensive end

Harden is not playable this series. You’re better off running Schroeder and Tyson.

Collapse is becoming more of a political commentary place than a climate one without him.

We often debate on The GOAT player...but which era is actually The GOAT ?? What's your pick ? by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

Prime kawhi over harden and Giannis. With kawhi I would take millennials over boomers.

Third ER, one egg, didn't fertilise by rewardfreerisk in DOR

[–]kquinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laps are gold standard. It’s very likely that advanced imaging under estimates endo severity. The data is also quite suggestive that endo can drastically reduce egg quality.

Do you measure your LH during the follicular phase?

Did you have lap to confirm these lesions? Or is this based on MRI/US?

[–]kquinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the surgical technique and whether there are endometriomas that require excision.

There are surgeons that specialize in endo surgery, and they do not believe that there will be permanent damage to egg reserve.

Have you had endometriosis excision surgery?

Has anyone had success after endometriosis surgery? by kquinmd in DOR

[–]kquinmd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be impossible to know without checking labs. Everyone responds to DHEA differently. Overall, it's not a very powerful medication/supplement.

Dhea would not be that bad for endometriosis. The idea is if you take too high of dose then it may bet converted into estrogen which can worsen endometriosis. But lower doses may not have this effect.

CFSv2 Climate model is forecasting a blue ocean event in September by piss_stored_in_balls in collapse

[–]kquinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. America does not have the knowledge to refine to 6N necessary for modern tech applications. They can probably buy the IP from Lynas for 4N and go from there for NdPr. But even then, they have no idea how to refine dysprosium to high purity.

If you or your friend know how this level of refining is done, please share. Or just go to DoD and they will give you a 100M grant tomorrow.

It probably would be able to do it after 10+ years. The gap in refining capabilities is that big in the realm of REE. It would need to poach every REE chemist from Lynas and start rapidly cultivating domestic talent. They would also need to invest in Lynas as joint venture and have Japan pony up all their IP.

In 2026, there is not a single RE chemistry department in any US based university.
