Oh, we have lots of those! There are some drugs that we use to treat high blood pressure work by causing vasodilation.

What’s really interesting about this new drug is:

“…iloprost is not only a vasodilator but also reduces oxidative stress, suggesting this dual mechanism of action could help explain its impressive potential as a frostbite treatment.”

It not only dilates blood vessels, it also directly treats reperfusion injury, which is really neat.

Are you suggesting a privatized National Weather Service and toll bridges would be better? If so, I have a nice bear-ridden town in New Hampshire you might like to move to.

Regulations are exactly how you deal with negative externalities.The EPA makes corporations pay for reducing pollution and cleanup. Why do you think corporations target EPA so much? Because EPA costs them money. Never hear any corporations whining about that free taxpayer-funded geological data coming out of USGS

You know, I should buy a spare. Thanks for the idea

If you insist on ideological purity even when it will obstruct a tangible victory, then YOU have actually let the fascists win.

How can you not see that? Your pure argument fails, their fascist law stands, the fascists win. Or you make an argument that is distasteful, get the law overturned, and give real, tangible benefits to the people who need it, therefore the fascists DID NOT WIN.

I’m not fighting a philosophical war; I’m fighting a REAL one.

Literally why I’m still sitting here on my Pixel 5.

In the past, manufacturers seem to “innovate” every few years and reinvent the small form factor phone. I’m waiting, hoping we see that trend breaking again soon.

I like clean water, good weather forecasts, and I want to fix the bridges.

Overturning a law that hurts women isn’t progress? Because the way they’re choosing to argue isn’t pure enough for you?

Ok, well you wave your magic wand and fix all the problems all at once. I, for one, am not going to hold my breath for that. Better is better.

Ok, when you can win in court with that strategy, go for it.

In the meanwhile, I’ll accept the most likely to win a good outcome and get this law overturned. Sorry, I’ll forever be realpolitik like that.

She’s making a legal case presenting herself as the perfect case scenario. It’s just a tactic to present the best argument possible to get the law overturned for everyone, even people who can’t pretend to be perfect.

I have cfs not from Covid. It’s permanent. There are treatments that are at least good enough to allow me to work full time, but I’ll need medication for the rest of my life

Yep! Over a billion years old and a major feature on Pangaea.

I knew it was West Virginia.

This is not climate change, y’all. The Appalachians are an eroding mountain range. The town where my sister lives is in a constant battle to keep the roads from falling into the adjacent creek beds. It’s just an absurdly difficult geography to build on.

I see we’re just going full speed ahead with the whole attitude that Long Covid doesn’t exist or doesn’t matter.

That’s incredible

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.

Overall, I think the effects are probably neutral

This is a painting? The texture on that fabric is perfect

Making noise is the only way things actually get done in this world. Asking politely gets you nowhere. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that

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.”
