Yeah, I grew up in a small American town and my cousins were more like my siblings than my actual sister because they were the same age as me. We all fled that small town, so the next generation are all growing up not surrounded by extended family.
I think there are good and bad sides to it. It was nice to grow up surrounded by family with a strong sense of belonging. But my cousins' children are growing up knowing people from far more diverse backgrounds than I ever had access to, which is good for them in a different way.
Critical care nurse here. The answer is esophageal varices.
It's the same physiological anomaly as hemorrhoids, except in your esophagus. Swollen, fragile veins caused by increased internal pressure. In the case of hemorrhoids, that pressure inside the veins is caused by straining too much when trying to poo. In esophageal varices, the increased pressure inside the esophageal veins comes from blood backing up from a swollen, scarred, and damaged liver. So we often see esophageal varices in end stage alcohol use disorder.
Horror stories abound in emergency departments and ICUs of having to do CPR on a patient massively hemorrhaging out of their mouth from esophageal varices. As soon as nurses I know saw this report, our immediate thought was, "Yep, varices."
You're watching the wrong videos. A lot of his material manufacturing videos tend to have a lot more trial and error. In the more pure chemical extraction or synthesis videos, he's hyper precise about amounts, timing, temperatures, and safety. In others he's definitely in "making a funny video fucking around mode."
He's always been transparent about the fact that his parents helped him get started, and he's been financially operating on his own for years. Many of his videos are every bit as rigorous as Applied Science.
I've had several great bosses through the years. Ones who considered teaching me and developing my skills/career to be part of their primary job duties instead of feeling threatened. I learned a ton from them.
My current boss is also amazing. I'm a nurse at a hospital that just unionized, and she really puts her job on the line to make sure we have what we need to keep the patients on our unit safe. She's a lot of the reason I didn't quit a long time ago.
Agreed, in my experience Tubi and Pluto both have very reasonable length, good quality ads. I declined to re-up on YouTube TV for NCAA football season this year specifically because I can stand their ads. At that price tier, they honestly expect me to sit through My Pillow ads??
This is already a tracked statistic. It's called the fertility rate. Yes, it's tracked per uterus, and it's actually been falling precipitously for decades:
The only thing you need to do to accomplish this faster is educate girls (making women valuable for things other than childbearing), provide access to birth control and family planning education, and reduce child mortality (reducing the inclination to have "spare children" to replace all the ones you know will die).
Bangladesh provides a good example of these factors at play:
The onshore tax havens Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are vastly worse in scope than any offshore country. They push the narrative about those "terrible foreign countries" to distract us from this fact.
The problem is US tax code, not offshore financial centers.
Right, but without Chevron, it just means the federal agencies have to go to court to make changes. All of which cases will be filed in the Fifth Circuit and rubber stamped, I'm sure. I think overturning Chevron would be a mild inconvenience for a second Trump presidency.
It's originally about Chevron the company lol. The original Supreme Court case that set the modern precedent was Chevron (the company) vs. Natural Resources Defense Council. That case allowed the EPA to do things like determine safe levels for things like lead in water, particulate matter in air, etc. without explicitly having a whole ass court argument over each and every number that they wanted to set.
Overturning the original Chevron case will literally dismantle the entire regulatory process in the United States.

Overall, I think the effects are probably neutral
