Because while cool it is quite likely it didn’t seem that the sales were good enough to bother translating and patenting. Tbh American/European culture is very different so they probably didn’t think it would succeed when it wasn’t very successful at home.

These types of roles are extremely limited in modern news. They often involve reporting from within active war zones e.g. all the journalists killed by Israel. You don’t just say you’re going somewhere and fuck off the org will want to know where you are and what work you’re doing so they’re not just paying you to fuck about the countryside.

Still similar advice, get away, have a manager or ally deal with them. The point is to try and deescalate by removing yourself from the situation. If they prevent that and continue escalating then you escalate to the level needed to get away and call the cops on them.

Act like you can’t hear and get away. If she grabs or tries to block moving away then escalate to what is required to get away.

No one is rich enough to not suffer from authoritarian rule. Ask Jack Ma how that went. China also regularly seems to replace high level officials when Xi wants. There’s no meaningful court if an authoritarian government decides you’re guilty because they’re also the ones appointing the judges.

If you look into it an amazing amount of them are further funded by Russia. Not solely but enough to make them bigger than they’d be otherwise.

The filling is like a bad taxidermy. You know what it is but it’s just not right. Icing is more of the same. The biscuit(?) part is cake flavored cardboard.

Yeah, basically what happened to Florida and a part of why it went from swing state to Red.
- Comment on Brad buys a house 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, moving to lower cost of living will make you relatively rich. It’s a reason people sometimes retire to rural (lower tax-red) areas. However, If you’re still working the usual problem is that the jobs also pay less and “amenities” are also less. Fewer good restaurants, less option for entertainment, worse schools, etc.

Honestly, me and wife on that one. Sure we’ve tried it but neither of us really enjoyed it. So we haven’t done it again…doesn’t stop me from making the jokes though.

Specifically for medical stuff, they swipe your number and email when you take the MCAT. I was debating an MD/PhD so I took it and even never applying or getting into med school they’d randomly email me, for like 5y after.

Neither grandpa knows guns and ironically enough would likely be against actually owning them. I already know how to use a gun since I’m from SC and had friends take me skeet/target shooting. However, I’m currently in NY where ownership is a major pain and personally dont trust a gun in my home.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Something along those lines might work. Not so much “adamantly” but yeah they’re often repetitive, just part of who they are. The grandpas at least aren’t meaning to come across as they are, which is why I haven’t gone the direct confrontation route, from other experience that doesn’t go well but well worded “snark” or sarcasm oddly enough seems to work. These are old brown men who have improved a lot over the years. Knowing how to confront them in a way that leads to a desired effect is a skill.
Idk maybe I’m not treating this with appropriate concern, my childhood was filled with older women telling me I’d be a lady killer when I grew up, pinching my cheeks, and asking to steal my eyelashes…

Think like a microchip but for cells. These organ on a chip contain various cells to emulate the function and response of an organ.
I recommend finding a different hobby as salt up your urethra sounds unpleasant. But I mean if your partner is into it whatever.

Yeah, because it’s fast and little pain can be felt before its dead. Guillotines were developed to be a more humane execution for people.
“Physical methods” (Guillotine, cardiac puncture, thoracotomy, etc) are usually a secondary confirmation of death after lethal ketamine/xylazine cocktail injection, isofluorane, or CO2 inhalation.
And yeah we’re sacrificing them to the science god to try and make new discoveries and new therapies. We’re also trying to develop ways to avoid using organisms such as organ on a chip or multiple organ on a chip systems but thats expensive af and not yet sufficient quality to replace organism testing.
- Comment on nothing against that guy, but this was a funny glitch 1 month ago:
Lot of reasons behind the replication crisis that basically boil down to two main things. 1) fraud and 2) really miniscule stuff that isn’t practical to consider.
So 1 is pretty self explanatory. 2 for an example can be something as minute as a slight temperature change in what the animal facility is kept at. Or even the time of day animals or cells were treated.
