You are underestimating the vastness of the ocean. Maybe they were not on course when they started to send signals, but that is a large assumption not supported by the articles.

This is way too many assumption based on a report of a phone call... Many blue water travelers use a combination of sailing and motor power (for above mentioned reasons). There is not sufficient info to say that they did not use the sails at.all prior to the engine failure. Actually it seems likely that the plan all…

Do you think this would work with yogurt whey? We make our own Greek yogurt and I’ve been hunting out uses for the whey

Most cultures have food rituals surrounding bereavement. Many include bringing the bereaved meals.

Probably but despite always keep fruit and other lovely healthy things in my house to munch on I will leave or pay exorbitant amounts to have pure sugar with hydrogenated oils in my mouth. Who thought UberEATs delivering donuts was a good idea? Skinny Cow saves my waistline and my wallet.

I wish... man... I live too close to things and too many place deliver gross stuff. I do better if I keep treats/snacks at home because then instead of a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich I’m eating a Cookie Dough Blizzard with crushed Heath Bar. Yeah...

A lot of things drive me nuts. My 2 year old asking me the same question over and over. My co-worker fidgetting with a plastic bag in the cube adjacent mine. My husband asking me to remind him of every little thing that is his responsibility. Some people with autism do things that drive me nuts, some things they do…

Actually yes, it’s my life’s work. And you and your views disgust me.

Scabies... somehow we got infested with scabies a few years ago and we thought it was fleas or bedbugs but couldn’t find any other signs of an acutal bug infestation. It took several doctors visits before we finally were diagnosed.

But vegetable, botanically speaking includes fruits. It is edible vegetation. As is wheat and barley which are grains. Vegetable has developed into a catchall for those edible plants that do not fall into the other categories. the problem with those categories is that nature is a pesky thing and does not always like…

I think this would be incredibly difficult to “show” since the reporting is anonymous.

While I agree, I think that minority women are viewed as less competent parents than white parents so while a stranger that happens upon a couple of young white children in a park unsupervised may not report it as neglect that may not be the case if they are children of color? This is where we do kind of turn into the…

Except it’s a preinstalled app that you can’t uninstall on many (Android) phones. It’s the default app that selecting maps in other apps goes to. Also navigation apps aren’t for food tracking so it makes no sense to have a non-disablable calorie counting feature.

Here’s the breakdown for you.

Also designed on getting maximum amount of work out of the least educated, least experienced part of the healthcare workforce at the lowest wages possible to maximize profits. Let’s not pretend that all of residency is about teaching good doctors. There is a strong financial incentive in the healthcare model to keep…

Exactly, parenthood is a common experience and one that has vast implications for health, especially for women. The idea that people in these careers should just.not.have.children is disconnecting them from the patients they treat in a fundamental way. Do we not remember when medicine was generally closed to women and…

They CHOOSE these careers because they know they don’t have anyone to pick up the goddamned slack. I will never be able to depend on my husband to invest as much time into child rearing and home keeping as is really necessary to do it well therefore I can’t take a more demanding job. Women are not oblivious to the…

The low numbers of male nurses isn’t due to the field not being open to them and accepting of them. It’s due to nursing being “women’s work” therefore emasculating. Thank you, patriarchy. Samesies for pediatrics, it’s touchy, feely, kids stuff... too girly for the menz. Women are largely pushed out of trade jobs…

Let’s just go with Charles Kinsey... not a nurse but you know pretty close. The officer that SHOT him and was subsequently arrested on charges of attempted manslaughter and negligence for his role in shooting Kinsey continues to be on leave WITH pay.

No chill. It’s so exhausting. I used to think it was cute, sweet, flattering... but now I’m just fucking tired. I have six kids, drive a goddamned minivan, and get 4 hours of sleep a night. I’m not sure why any guy hanging out a McDonalds drive thru window or in a TSA security line would peg me as someone they are…
