Looks like there’s a ferry. Let’s go.

I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(

Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.

Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.

How do you feel about government backed currencies?

The Real MVP! Thank You!

The outside.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! You mean Douglas Adams was actually an LLM?

I prefer to vote early, by dropping my completed ballot off at the appropriate location.

Thank you O’ Cog for your toothy, spinny perspective!

About 20% of cholesterol comes from direct consumption. And about 80% comes from sugars and fats. According to this article (https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsroom/articles/how-is-cholesterol-produced). Cholesterol is the parent compound to all the steroidal hormones, including pregnenalone, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and vitamin D. So one needs cholesterol, just not too much of it. Oxidized cholesterol turns out to be associated with pathophysiology, in atherosclerosis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7836017/), and Alzheimers disease (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4473000/) One needs sugars and fats, but the amount is dependent on how one uses those compounds. And the body uses them in all sort of ways, including energy production for exercise.

So cars these days have anti-collision systems. One would think a million dollar boat, with millions of dollars in cargo, approaching a multimillion dollar bridge would have some sort of active sensing system to prevent a collision. That video shows the Dali strolling right into the support. It wasn’t a glancing blow, rather it was a direct hit. Either somebody f’d up big time, or major act of sabotage on US territory.

I read in another thread that lenders have an upper limit, around $100M. So #45 could easily use the $500M he claims to have to secure several loans, under that $100M limit to reach the $464M he owes. It’s Monday, let’s see how the spectacle continues.

Wait, so standard orange color basketballs are made of Oompa Loompa skin? Gaahhhhhhh!!!

Go Biden!

Perfect meme usage! Bravo!

Thank you for posting the Gauntlet article. I have several patients, and a few friends with LC. And I’ve had pushback on my relatively strict policies around avoiding infectious disease, especially viral respiratory infections like COVID, and Influenza. The medical establishment is only just beginning to acknowledge and from that to study and understand post-viral syndromes. We have a lot to learn, in regards helping those who have contracted post-viral syndromes. And we won’t get to the solutions if we deny the existence of these longterm, disabling maladies. Keep talking, people, our best solutions come when we work together.

I’m not certain about rats specifically, and in humans the marijuana needs to be heated first before it will be psychoactive. If rats were eating marijuana, they’d probably want the seeds which are very nutritious. But marijuana grown for human consumption tends to not have a lot of seeds in it. So I’m with you, there’s some pilfering going on. Now, if one could train a nest of rats to enter the evidence room, and bring out MJ, then it would lower the amount of evidence to be brought to court. I’m just ‘spit balling’ here.
