The anti-abortion solution to extra embryos has previously been a thing called a “compassionate transfer”. They transfer the embryos at a time in the person’s cycle where they are unlikely to take. The idea is that if it’s “meant to be”, the embryos will implant anyways and they will get pregnant. So they’ve never had…

So, to preface, I disagree with this mindset. But I know what their bullshit “logic” is.

The guidance even specifically named methotrexate—a medication that can be used to treat ectopic pregnancies, which occur when an egg implants in the uterus,

I live in Texas. Democracy will survive if I don’t vote for Biden. Winning Texas has never been part of the DNC’s strategy. Now, state races down ballot I absolutely will vote blue, but my presidential vote has literally never counted in a general election in this state, so it’s not like it’s much of a threat for me…

The day he got the nomination, I groaned and said, “fine, but I’m not voting for him twice.”
He hasn’t done anything yet to convince me otherwise.

But my point is that if Plan B is going to work, you don’t have a “released egg”. Plan B is supposed to stop it from releasing.

It also takes days to actually become pregnant after sex. Sperm are viable for up to 5 days (usually less), eggs for 24 hours. The mechanism of plan B is to try to delay ovulation until the sperm are no longer viable. It doesn’t do much if you’ve already ovulated. (Although, the good news is that eggs are only viable…

I wasn’t warned about gestational hypertension until I was experiencing it. At 38 weeks I had a high BP and I was sent to the ER for monitoring. They tested for pre-eclampsia, watched me for a bit and sent me home. At 39 weeks I again had high BP, so my doctor scheduled an induction. She showed me a chart of all my BP…

I mean, you saw what happened when Scalia died while Obama was still in office. They waited 11 months to replace him. You think if Ginsburg had retired they wouldn’t have done the same thing? 

Ooh, also don’t cross diagonally to get to the entrance of the store when you’re walking. 

Morimoto, Simon, and Cora were my favorites. I’m bummed that there are so few familiar faces in the new line up. I think Samuelson is also a Next Iron Chef Alum, and I think I saw that season, but I wonder how they decided on all the new Iron Chefs.

Flay was always super rude to his soux chefs on Iron Chef America too. He would yell at them and berate them. I haven’t liked him since I noticed that. 

It’s the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting about 1 in 345 children in the USA.

Just because you personally don’t see people with CP much in your daily life doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

The word is offensive in US English- what makes you think it isn’t? I remember all the thinkpieces from when Weird Al used it in Word Crimes, which was almost a decade ago. I’m in my 30s and I know I was told by my parents not to use that word as a kid. It’s not newly offensive, it’s always been a slur for cerebral…

I noticed this too. It’s been a very weird tone shift.

The hyperfocus on subjects that interest him sounds like classic ADHD. How well does he study when the subject is uninteresting?

I had a friend in college, we kinda drifted apart and lost touch after college. A few years later, he reached back out when he and his wife were going through a divorce. His wife unfriended me on facebook, and one day I was curious as to how she was doing when something she’d posted popped up in my memories, so I…

I also thought this was going to be about knowing what you want before you get in line.

I was curious if his kids were maybe grown, but they’re 16 and 18. Kourtney’s kids are 12, 9, and 7, so I get why the younger kids were hurt that they weren’t included.

I wanted to like the rocketbook so much, but the pens were a total turn-off. The colors were dull and the ink wasn’t smooth. The slick paper surface sucked to write on.

I have the Remarkable 2 now, and while I wish it had color, I’ve heard the refresh rate on the boox is so slow. I do wish that remarkable could be…
