    @89th said in Abortion Case in Texas - court allowed, court blocked: @Renauda said in Abortion Case in Texas - court allowed, court blocked: @Axtremus So, what say you? It’s solely the pregnant woman’s choice. The baby is the man's too. Presuming he is around. In this case, he is. I believe he was also included in the lawsuit to allow the abortion.

    I saw that on Facebook the other day. It is mostly correct. We used to vacation in Can't get theyah from Heeya For this map, I might have mentioned the Montreal Canadiens, but that is outside the force-field And Center of the Universe should be Hub of the Universe (google it, you'll see) Nitpick

    We used to say ‘he couldn’t sell pussy on a troopship’. If we had to clean it up it was ‘couldn’t sell beer…’ The opposite was ‘he could sell brass knuckles to Ghandi’

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Worth considering.: @Aqua-Letifer said in Worth considering.: Totally unrelated but what was your grade school's art department budget like? It was fine, but I was told my paintings were awful when I was 5. That last bit's actually true. The fact that I very clearly remember it happening is interesting. I should pay for therapy so that I can blame everything on my primary school teacher. Wow. You were 5, what a ridiculous thing to say to a 5-year-old. Here's some fun society-wide cognitive dissonance for you: Every single possible way to make, spend or transfer money throughout the world requires creative writing and visual messaging. Every single freaking thing. And yet nobody gives a shit if their kid doesn't do all that great or even refuses to take art and creative writing courses. Nobody tells their kid, "okay, fine, you got that A in math but what's with this C in art? What's up with that?" We're pretty damn good at scooping up the STEM stars. But there are shitloads of kids out there who suck at physics but could easily become successful videographers, illustrators, writers, motion graphic designers or sound engineers and don't because the world tells them not to take any of that stuff seriously. And it's the other half the entire fucking economy.

    I dont think this is malpractice. Bad judgement when he went to the hospital, but not sure if it is malpractice.

    @George-K said in Link?: We've been chasing the "amyloid deposit" r Yes, this is a very interesting puzzle, most of it goes over my head. The guys with the big money placed most of it on amyloid research. But there are people who say this: Dr. Daniel Alkon, a longtime NIH neuroscientist who started a company to develop an Alzheimer’s treatment, is even more emphatic: “If it weren’t for the near-total dominance of the idea that amyloid is the only appropriate drug target,” he said, “we would be 10 or 15 years ahead of where we are now.” https://www.statnews.com/2019/06/25/alzheimers-cabal-thwarted-progress-toward-cure/ Then there is this: The amyloid hypothesis drama In AD, brain cells are dying. Additionally, a protein fragment called beta amyloid is building up on the exterior of brain cells. Some believe that amyloid buildup is a primary disease mechanism—it’s killing the cells and/or interfering with the transmission of information between cells.  But other researchers I’ve spoken with believe amyloid is a byproduct of the disease process with no real consequence of its own. Other authorities propose that amyloid plaques are actually a natural protective feature for the cells intended to defend against microbes and toxins. https://www.amazon.com/Beating-Dementia-Monster-impairment-Alzheimers-ebook/dp/B08D3HDJ4B/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=dementia+monster&sr=8-1
