Well it does seem that more people would vote for trump against her as well as more people vote for her. So maybe it's legit?

Doesn't Biden have a broken foot that hasn't healed very well and makes him shuffle around a bit?

Two meetings a day sounds like luxury to me! I don't have ADHD but meetings still absolutely kill my productivity. The switching penalty for technical tasks is much higher than non-technical people realise.

This video has a great comparison of different locking nut systems and how they hold up against vibration:

Just a small note that the businesses only have to open source their version if they release it. If they just use it internally then they don't have to distribute the source code. So it depends on the use case.

More similar to Sunak calling the current General Election. It's very unlikely they will win but they have to do something rather than let it get even worse!

Have you turned off Firefox's built-in enhanced tracking protection? If not, turn it off but leave uBlock Origin on and see if that solves your issue.

Pretty sure it was like this:

I looked into these before and believe the inverters shut off if the mains shuts off. The DC side of the circuit would still be potentially dangerous though.

The inverters need there to be power in the mains circuit because they convert DC to AC and match the phase of the AC power they are generating to the mains supply.

I had assumed the women weren't sterilised by the normal contraceptive meds, but it seems they used a large dose of Depo-Provera which is a legit contraceptive injection. Not the usual pills but still.

There are also stories in that article of people having forced hysterectomies.

America's history of racism is so dark.

The questions I had are:

• Do we use flash pasteurisation in the UK?
• How high is the residual risk for flash pasteurised milk?

Yes we do use flash pasteurisation in the UK.

Residual risk for flash pasteurised milk is high enough to be concerning, but the study didn't follow exactly the same process as industry does during pasteurisation, and those extra steps may also help to kill the virus. So we probably need another study to add in those other steps and see if the virus survives or not.

Not ideal though.

Heating the milk to 72 degrees Celsius, or 181 degrees Fahrenheit, for 15 or 20 seconds — conditions that approximated flash pasteurization — greatly reduced levels of the virus in the milk, but it didn’t inactivate it completely.

Milk samples heated for 15 or 20 seconds were still able to infect incubated chicken eggs, a test the US Food and Drug Administration has called the gold-standard for determining whether viruses remain infectious in milk.

“But, we emphasize that the conditions used in our laboratory study are not identical to the large-scale industrial treatment of raw milk,” senior study author Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a virologist who specializes in the study of flu and Ebola, said in an email.

That’s a good reason not to panic over the study findings, said Lakdawala.

Lakdawala said that commercial flash pasteurization involves a preheating step, which wasn’t done here. It also involves homogenization, a process that emulsifies the fat globules in milk so the cream won’t separate. Both of those steps would probably make it harder for the virus to survive, but she adds that the results of this study suggest full process of commercial flash pasteurization should be done “with all the steps in place.”

Is this a thing in America?

I don't know about your personal situation, and it may be different for whatever you are suffering with, however the part you quoted is true for a lot of cases.

Having just looked after my wife through a period of ~3 years really severe depression I've seen it first hand, it completely changed her personality and outlook and she was saying all kinds of stuff she's quite embarrassed by now. She genuinely couldn't think straight at all or see any way out, and in that moment if offered the choice to die she might have taken it (a fact she is quite scared by now, having mostly recovered).

Similar story with my brother, who has bipolar... when he's manic he has an absolute inability to hold a train of thoughts together for longer than 30 seconds. When he's depressed it's absolutely awful. He's now stable and enjoying his life.

I'm not arguing that this shouldn't be an option for some very extreme chronic conditions, but it's obviously complicated.

Well I have to hand it to you, there's a kind of mad logic to it!

(I think the heat is good when you almost feel it in your nipples.)

Sorry what?

Must be difficult for people who worked at Tesla for years before Musk bought it.

I've worked at my company for 10 years, I'd find it difficult to just leave straight away if some dickhead venture capitalist bought it and started fucking it up.

Are you taxed based on your yearly income, or month by month?

My wife hates it when that happens

The TV show Fortitude has a similar plotline. Would recommend!
