When I’ve heard Biden talk off the cuff he seems cognitively just fine, which is the biggest difference. He’s always had that stutter, and a reputation for “gaffes” going back decades. But his “gaffes” are just impolitic comments, which who really gives a fuck about? I like his authenticity
But they seem to last forever, so there are a ton available in the aftermarket. My TI-89 from 1997 still works like new, and I plan to bequeath it to my son
Having your tongue against the roof of your mouth at rest is 100% the “correct” way to store your tongue. This actually influences how your teeth, jaw, and facial bones grow
For real, I know there are exceptions, but I’ve worked with tons of doctors and not one gave two shits about someone’s ability to pay. They would often argue with administration to help people who couldn’t pay
Healthy food is absolutely not a luxury item. I’ll accept the argument that the time to prepare healthy food is a luxury, but in almost every corner of the US you will find basic ingredients (eg rice, beans, carrots, celery, corn, potatoes, pasta) are way less expensive than the pre-prepared slop in boxes in the middle aisles of the store. People are addicted to that sugary shit and actively choose it
The lawnmower has a five foot diameter plastic sphere in which the rider sits on an air foam cushioned seat. It has its own electric generating system for operating running lights, a radio telephone, air conditioning and even a cooling system to provide a chilled drink on a hot day. It can be used for many purposes. It can mow the lawn, weed it, feed it, seed it, spray for insects, plow snow and haul equipment. It can even be used as a golf cart.
I’m assuming this is because the concept of absolute zero did not exist when most of these temperature scales were defined, whereas zero distance and zero weight were easily observable
There are roughly 2,200,000 known animal species, and 400,000 of those are just beetles. Entomologists estimate there are 10 quintillion insects on Earth
This is one reason why black children are killed by police at higher rates than other races, because they often look older than they actually are and people/police assume they’re adults when they are not
Pretty sure they would’ve accepted a current prescription too, from your current sleep doc. I had a really old prescription too and had no issues with my current doc handling the paperwork
I have young kids and I feel like I’ve pretty much become isolated from my friends. The ones that have kids live out of state. My best friends don’t have kids so they usually come to me, but they also have their own lives so I don’t want to bother them. And I can’t really do my hobbies. I knew it would be hard with young...
My best friends don’t have kids so they usually come to me, but they also have their own lives so I don’t want to bother them
Did your best friends indicate you’re bothering them? If not, where did this narrative come from, that you’re bothering them? I’d wonder if this is just in your head and if it’s preventing you from reaching out more often.
It’s hard to overstate the impact self-talk has on mental health. I work in the field and can tell you people who accept that they influence their own mood have much better outcomes than people who don’t. People on average really struggle to accept that they have any control over their own well-being, and many build their self-concepts around external factors making them a certain way, so there’s nothing to do but continue being that way. This is a super common mindset when it comes to depression in particular
It’s really hard to overstate how massive the scales are of what we see here. What looks like two celestial bodies pulverizing each other are actually clouds of billions of stars that are largely light years apart from one another. The two clouds would pass right through each other, but the gravitational changes associated with being so close together alter the trajectories of their stars and thus the shape of the galaxies.
Most stars will end up as part of a new and larger elliptical galaxy, while some stars will be thrown off into space and become permanently galaxy-less
