I mean, it can.

Someone not used to it, taking a high dose can end up with nausea, vomiting, etc.

Even long term potheads can have bad results with too high a dose. Then there's rare reactions, allergies, etc.

It really does!

Just the shift in cerebrospinal fluid in response to progesterone explains not just the obvious symptoms that come with that part of the cycle, it points to things like increased migraines, memory issues, and that's huge.

Having a correlation shown like this could possibly revolutionize how women get care. Just the correlation. If there's a definitive causation, just the ability to better customize hormone regimens in birth control could improve millions of lives.

Considering the extremes I've seen women in my life go through with no real ability to get predictable results from medical assistance relating to their cycles, this is fantastic news.

Absolutely the hardest part was the shrinking. Most of the damage, I had access to both sides of the panel. Which means you can use a hammer and a block thing called a dolly. But you have to hold the dolly on one side and hammer on the other. Which is awkward as hell. It's slow work, or was for me; I suppose a pro can go faster. And you have to be careful because if you overdo it, you can end up hardening the metal and end up with cracks.

All the videos and tutorials say to practice on some scrap sheet metal, but I didn't have any, so it was trial by fire.

This was back in the summer, but my left shoulder is still being pissy about the positions I was in to reach the dolly to the middle of the roof and still see what I was hitting with the hammer.

Tbh though, it was much simpler than I thought. There's plenty of good tutorials out there,and the concepts aren't complicated at all, it's the skill that's fiddly and detailed.

Yup, you pronounce a plural or possessive of a word that ends in S with the es or 's like Travises.

However, you don't usually pronounce an 's after a plural. A single Travis that owns something would be pronounced Travises. If you are referring to a family with the surname Travis, as a group, it's the Travises. However, if the Travises own something, it will be the Travises property, not the Traviseses property.

Whether or not you write the possessive plural as Travises' or not seems to be a matter of debate. I do. Some rules dictate that you would write the singular possessive as Travis' and say it Travises, others would have it written as Travis's

Body work on my car.

I'm poor as fuck and had tree branches fuck me up. Decided I'm not willing to deal with the bullshit of finding a new one, especially with all the bullshit privacy invasion on top of buying the damn thing.

So, I borrowed tools, looked shit up, and while the car isn't fully dent free or anything, it was good enough to replace windows and you have to get close to see the warping that's left.

Took my crippled ass damn near two weeks because I could only work maybe a half hour, 45 minutes at a go once or twice a day. And I wasn't working fast.

While it was much simpler than I thought it would be, those auto body pros deserve their damn pay. Shit is hard physically. Just replacing the side mirror had my back cramping and spasming for hours after, even with meds. And that was the easiest job involved.

Dunno that I learned enough to exactly say it's a true skill, since it really only applies to my car, and the kind of damage done, but the parts of the frame that were bent are back in line, and the dents that needed shrinking are damn near invisible, which I'm proud as fuck of.

The painting sucks though lol. Couldn't get a good sprayer on loan, and the one I could get was a bitch about not giving an even coat. The blending is not great. Visible from even a dozen feet away. A few drips too. But I ain't worried about that with a car that's damn near twenty years old.

Dunno what the hell I would have done without good neighbors and friends loaning me the gear. No way could I have afforded rental for the air compressor after the supplies cost, parts, and glass. Came out to a few hundred all told, but the estimate was damn near 1.2k

Man, if you're throwing rizz for three months, you ain't throwing rizz.

That's the guy!

Ah, the best software I only use once a year

No worries :)

It isn't an either/or proposition. There's multiple ways to both have a viewing and keep a body from getting deep into decomposition, and there's really no issues with the face automatically becoming grotesque. It really isn't an every time thing. It isn't even a majority of the time, when the body is kept cool enough. Pinning isn't the only option for keeping a mouth closed either.

People have done in home wakes way longer than the funerary industry has existed. There's plenty of options available.

Ehhh, it's not entirely off, more of a mischaracterization.

Most of poop is water, even when someone is constipated.

The non water part is a mix of food waste, dead bacteria, live bacteria, and undigestible matter (like microplastics).

The exact percentages of all that varies. Water, for example, ranges from about 60-75% in healthy feces. But with extreme constipation or diarrhea, it can go higher or lower.

The remaining matter is going to be roughly 25% bacterial, viral, or fungal. Of which, roughly half is going to be alive still.

The rest is stuff that we swallowed, and either can't be digested, or wasn't completely digested. Carbohydrates tend to be the lowest presence, as they digest the easiest. Then proteins, then fats. Fats are the hardest to digest of the three, and tend to be the majority of partially digested substances.

Fiber makes up the majority of the indigestible matter, with various man-made substances making up the rest of that category.

No two poops are the exact same though. Our gut is a living, active biome. Our digestive enzymes and acids break down food into component parts very effectively, but microbes, bacteria in particular, help along the way, breaking things down more, and that makes the components we need better able to be taken up by the intestines.

Research into the gut biome and how it can affect the rest of the body is in its infancy, even compared to research on the brain, which is a big mystery despite much longer efforts to understand it. Gut flora really wasn't considered as a factor in overall health until widely until the last twenty years or so. But, it turns out to have influence on everything about our bodies. So, poop science is strangely cutting edge work right now.

Well, gotta be Buffy. It was at the tail end of the nineties and lasted into the naughties, but it counts imo.

It was just such a fun show for the era, and they managed to not only keep a consistent vibe, but turned out plenty of really intense shows despite the overall vibe being humor/action based
