Does "wartime reforms" mean "Southern senators weren't around to stop it any more"?

You don't have to let them by immediately electing them to the U.S. senate. Platner could spend some time campaigning for a local or state office, or volunteering with a nonprofit that battles antisemitism, so that next time he'll have an actual record
of not passively endorsing Nazism.

Many protest organizers have trained de-escalators on hand to deal with people who are disruptive- whether because they're trying to bait people, are having a bad trip/ psychotic break/ whatever. Look for them.

20% of the US population ages 18-24 is overweight or obese. Good luck meeting your recruiting quotas, Pete.

Genetic signature of differential sensitivity to stevioside in the Italian population The demand for diet products is continuously increasing, together with that for natural food ingredients. Stevioside and other steviol glycosides extracted from the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudia...

Here's one study on the issue. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I suspect there's a genetic issue here - as there is for people who taste soap when they eat cilantro, or a nasty bitter undertaste in stevia. We do not all live in the same perceptual wold.

Fever / Hyperthermia This sheet is about fever and hyperthermia in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. This information is based on research studies. It should not take the place of medical care and advice from your health...

And the potential birth defects caused by untreated fevers. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK582...

Except for the part about untreated high fevers during the first trimester causing birth defects - including neural tube defects, heart defects, cleft lips.

I once made an all-butter-crust pie out of apples I'd picked that day (Cortlands and Macintosh, I think.) It was one of the most splendid things I've ever eaten.

My grandmother also used to talk about "second summer" illness - when toddlers in Kansas ca. 1900 would die of diarrheal illnesses because they were drinking water, not getting all their liquid from breast milk. Great grandma boiled her water, and all her kids survived to adulthood.

FYI there were several cases of US Revolutionary war soldiers discovered to have XX genitalia when they got sick or injured. Deborah Sampson/Robert Shirtliff was one of the more famous ones.

Pad thai is just a stir fry with noodles. If you don't want to spend time chopping veggies, you can buy stir fry mix at the supermarket and still save time and money over ordering out - not as much as if you started with whole veggies, but it still works out.

Count yourself lucky you're not a park ranger, or an organic farmer, or a surveyor, or one of the folks who cuts brush under electrical lines... there are a lot of people who don't have much choice about spending time with ticks.

Not as bloodthirsty as the caffeine-deprived zombies standing behind me at the coffee counter while I wait for the barista to bring me the carton of almond milk so I can check the ingredients. Good times.

About 10% of people with alpha gal also react to carrageenan, a seaweed which is used as a thickener in a lot of plant milks and ice cream. If it's Big Veg, they're being really sloppy.

Avoiding Tick Bites - Alpha-gal Information Tick avoidance tips for people with alpha-gal syndrome.

Unfortunately, it's pretty accurate. If you're in the woods in lone star tick territory, try to take precautions, like wearing permethrin-treated clothing. alphagalinformation.org/avoiding-tic...

Avoiding Tick Bites - Alpha-gal Information Tick avoidance tips for people with alpha-gal syndrome.

You're probably better off getting permethrin-treated clothing, like Insect Shield. Lint rollers and double-sided carpet tape around the top of your boots helps too. alphagalinformation.org/avoiding-tic...

You can still see the effects of the Hurricane of 1938 if you look in the right places (like the Harvard Forest in Petersham)

It takes a lot to do that. The plumbing isn't really set up for bathing, laundry, privacy, the electricity isn't either, most of the stores have no windows, bedrooms... might be cheaper to just tear it down. Also, malls are usually along a highway & not near jobs, social services, schools etc.
