/S I don't get what's wrong! Boeing shouldn't let pesky things like safety get in the way of the stock price

I like how many European countries fixed the shutdown issue... Force a snap election for everyone in parliament if a budget isn't passed.

Eh, the CHIPS Act also does good things that doesn't necessarily need additional funding, so repealing it entirely would end those things as well. This problem gets at the structure of Congress, they have "authorization" committees that give power to federal agencies and separate committees that give money to agencies.

Animals on average convert about 10% of the mass they eat into their own body mass.

Great video! Based on my smart thermo stat, I think my furnace is like 18x the size it needs to be and my AC is twice the size it needs to be. Been wanting to convert to a heat pump and ditch gas regardless... Maybe that $20k quote I got is a bunch of garbage

There's one of these near me! The dogs love it

Nice! That's got to be the Dragonstone bridge from the GoT universe

PSA: messing around with routes of administration for drugs is a good way to end up dead or in the hospital. Follow your medical providers' instructions, if something seems off/not working ask your doctor for advice.

This thread needs more Stargate, those intros are basically a montage of the most epic scenes from previous seasons

Too bad justice can't be this swift in the US

The patient featured in the article has survived lung cancer for 15 years. Seems a little long to feel badly when it's possible for newer types of therapies to use lower doses that are just as effective.

His ability to stay calm and in character is a super power

~50% of the time I attend virtually, because yeah it's nice to sleep in on Sunday and make breakfast with the service on Zoom and camera off

It probably depends heavily on the specific congregation. I haven't seen those vibes personally though. In my experience nobody really bothers the people who just show up occasionally, except to be friendly at coffee hour. UU are very much about democracy and so the local make up of the congregation can take it in many directions. Try it out on zoom if they offer a hybrid attendance to see if it's a good fit

Hear me out, I go to a Unitarian Universalist church for the music and sense of community. There is no shared theology among UUs, only a set of shared values. UU services vary a lot by the specific congregation. Ours has had services on celebrating gender identities, promoting social justice, mourning global conflicts, and fighting climate change. Sometimes relevant theology from a variety of world religions is incorporated into services, but there is no expectation to be a believer and there are many atheist members in my church. The rest of the time we have potlucks, play board games, do community service projects, etc.

Good suggestion, thanks!

We did try pineapple as the other commenter suggested, but the one with the apparently tasty poop is a picky eater and wouldn't eat pineapple

Tried it...

My dog will 100% of the time eat my other dog's poop in the backyard and occasionally throws it up inside the house if we miss picking it up...defeats the convenience of having a backyard for them to do their business.

30% raise up front though is helpful
