Tbh, I’d think men would self exclude from these jobs because they’re afraid they will look less masculine working them.

squid cat on panel two is kind of cute though, tbh

To generate as much profit for their shareholders as possible.

Even that is not really their legal responsibility… if you’re thinking of their fiduciary duty, that means there is a responsibility to act in the best interests of the corporation & shareholders (rather than, eg, putting personal gain forefront). “Best interests” doesn’t necessarily mean “make the most money possible right now”, particularly if it can be argued that there would be long term damage to brand reputation etc by doing so.

Having to work hard to find an appointment then travel for a day or two while spending perhaps hundred of dollars getting there might also cut down on last minute indecision too, I'd imagine.

I’ve used it on occasion…. IMO it’s not bad at finding you something related to your query, but it pales in comparison to google for finding something specific.

While freezing should kill multicellular eukaryotes (worms or other parasites), bacteria are pretty hardy, even to things like freezing. Plus, even when they aren’t, they make up for it in numbers… if you kill 99% of 10 million bacteria, you still have a hundred thousand that can subsequently repopulate if they are thawed left to grow a bit (even in the fridge). I’m not sure about these Vibrio strains, but the infective dose of some E. coli and Salmonella strains is measured in quantities less than 1000 bacterial cells.

Edit: reading a bit, probably this won’t be doing much growing at fridge temperatures (prefers warm water after all), however infections have been reported from oysters that were tested at about 900 cfu/gram of meat, so it might take (coincidentally) about a hundred thousand bacteria to cause an infection (~10g/oyster * 900 cfu/gram * 12 oysters or so). This isn’t very much… you probably have at least 1 to 100 million cfu/g of various bacteria on chopped lettuce, for instance.

That’s a good point too. Come to think of it, you could also have had missing numbers from the other direction too: people who wouldn’t have regretted it but didn’t have the opportunity to give their opinion.

Just for the record, Bedrock has free mods too. If they’re packaged appropriately, they even install automatically when you open them. The main difference is there isn’t a way to lock bedrock to a specific release version, so things tend to break over time as the game changes. This make the very large & complicated compilation mod packs impractical on Bedrock.

I wish the article touched on the nano particles more… like, what happens to them after you’re done? Are they dissolved or expelled (or do they pile up in various parts of the body and cause chronic issues…)?

That said, very few doctors actually perform late term abortions anyways (even though these are almost universally due to complicating medical scenarios and not for funsies).

This is a new Atlantic Ocean / Gulf of Mexico tropical weather blog from the meteorologists of Space City Weather (of local
Houston fame). They’ve always done a good job when things get nearby Houston, so I have high hopes for this as well.

/r/tropicalweather has always been a good resource as well… this is one of the things I have no problem going back to Reddit for specifically.

But it this case, it’s more like… you’re mowing your neighbor’s lawn at his invitation, you have to follow his guidelines or be fired, and when you mow his lawn he saves money because he doesn’t have to have the lawn care service come.
