I have always identified with Lawrence “Crash” Davis in Bull Durham.
Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

Sheets weekly. Towels twice a week, but I shower twice a day.
Well it does …but the side effects are killer.
Eyes aspirin suspiciously…pain reduction, anti-inflammatory, blood thinner, fever reduction. All-in-one package?
I was entranced by the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brien. Sailing ships, adventure, and a little romance.
Neither sex nor drugs were ever discussed…at least not by my parents.
It may helpful to think of this in terms of human rights; some rights apply to individuals so even though there may a group of them we’d refer to them as persons e.g. displaced persons. Some rights are held collectively and we would refer to them as a people e.g. Indigenous People of the Amazon.
eta: “Those people” and “you people” are both seen as racist dogwhistles. Your sister was probably laughing because you didn’t intend or get the subtext of your phrasing.
I think the larger issue is that the blood supply is for profit in the US. Everyone is getting exploited, including the people that require the transfusion.
I donate regularly in Canada and give it away for free as does everyone else. I don’t donate plasma because it’s not especially useful with my blood type (AB+ is universal for plasma, O- for other products).
I’m pretty sure it was a quail/dove shoot. It stood out for me because there aren’t many parts of the country where dove hunting is a thing. But Texas? You bet!
This is true for every regulated profession. It’s not exceptional.
You wouldn’t believe it, but it’s all true. The field is 110 yards long and 65 yards wide. The endzones are deeep. You can run an entire route in the endzone. The players are much smaller because of the need for mobility around the larger field. Would recommend. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_football
Edited: a word.
Just watch Canadian football bro. 12 players on the field for all 3 downs.
I’m not a marksman by any means, but shouldn’t the buttstock be in the pocket of his shoulder? It looks like the recoil from the next shot will send that thing flying backwards
Are they any better off with it? I don’t the current rates but it used to be around a few pounds of rice. It’s desperation rates for desperate people.
Lol. Welcome to the underbelly of comparative anatomy.
Most places to do it with insects. Sometimes they just leave them out but any organization with volume will use beetles.
I used to teach anatomy 20+ years ago. Sadly many of the skulls are sourced from the poorest people in impoverished countries. Companies pay a death benefit to the families or to the individual and then “harvest” the skull after death. They used to be priced based on the number of teeth and the presence of mandibular/maxillary degeneration. The highest priced skulls would come from donors and would have all their teeth.
Here’s a link to the UCLA scandal if you want to get a feeling for how scummy the entire industry is
She is a civilian member. As you were.
Just bewilderment. Because snubbing Harris will get you Trump. Who’s a great friend to Gaza /s. So cui bono?
