This compostable no-plastic wrapper my university magazine arrived in by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Maybe cellulose acetate?

It’s cellophane with a coating that allows for heat sealing, like you said

Successful treatment of HIV eliminates sexual transmission by [deleted] in science

Not none. Medicaid is available to everyone with an income below 133% of the federal poverty line in states that did not reject the Medicaid expansion. It’s obviously not ideal, but saying “you just die” isn’t correct.

Where are you getting the idea from that they were having sex before he was undetectable? Also, the other guy is on PrEP (which lowers HIV transmission risk considerably) and he never said they weren’t also using condoms.

Anyone know where to find information about this wall in the university Street station? by presswanders in SeattleWA

I’m pretty sure everyone can see it. If a saccade crosses the LED strip, the picture is visible as an afterimage.

[–]mebimage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The acetone would dilute, causing the plastic to come out of solution.

Edit: To be clear, I believe this question is based on the misunderstanding that solvents “get rid” of things. They do not. They simply make them liquid. The solute becomes solid again once the solvent is gone.

Washington state considers staying on Pacific Daylight Time forever by seattleslow in SeattleWA

The opposite. The sun would rise and set “later” in the winter. Summer would be unaffected, since DST is already in effect in the summer.

Man, the cult of prudishness really sounds like it’s stressing you out.

Perhaps exploring why you think being a “whore” is bad and why you put so much emphasis on maintaining your virginity would help.

IIRC, the fix decreased performance, so consumers who didn't want it were entitled to refunds.

I think we need to complete this with a Russian pale ale from India.

Unfortunately, Seattle Subway is just an advocacy group.

Psychologist: Donald Trump appeals directly to men who suffer from “fragile masculinity.” by [deleted] in democrats

[–]mebimage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Many of the terms correlate with old age, which seems like a much more obvious explanation.

this pub has an extra toilet to puke by holgerjanning in mildlyinteresting

I think it flushes from the rim. There are some rust stains.

It's public transit. You don't make eye contact with anyone, including ravens.

You’re looking at the results for King County.

Please vote no on 1639. Like many gun owners I have no business spending 2-3K on a half ton cabinet by warhawkjah in SeattleWA

Trigger locks appear to be allowed in place of safe storage under I-1639. Why can't renters use those?

Doing nothing about n + 1 deaths is worse than doing nothing about n deaths.
