The PGA bans shorts and the LPGA's dress code doesn't. There's more to it (why are the dress codes this way, historically?) but that's a simple answer to your question.

I wouldn't want to get close enough to either of those animals for proper identification if I spotted them in the wild, either. Especially if they had their kids with them.

Probably the rapid pace of eating it plus bad luck. A relative almost died last year because of an intestinal blockage. Don't know the specific cause of his just one day he couldn't keep anything down. He went to the doctor thinking it was a bad stomach bug and was immediately shipped off to the hospital for emergency surgery. He lived, but it's a thing that can very rapidly kill you if you're unlucky.

Like, people die from stuff that didn't kill lots of other people all the time. Only one lady died from this:

https://abcnews.com/GMA/jury-rules-radio-station-jennifer-strange-water-drinking/story?id=8970712

but dying from drinking too much water, like bowel obstruction, is a known cause of death. Or like when "healthy" athletes randomly die from heart attacks - sometimes the body just goes "nope" and fucks something up. There might have been a flaw in the heart that was just chilling until some slight extra push made it cause a whole system failure.

Maybe the kid had a slightly swollen section of his intestines before he started, or a different flaw in the area, where it was easier for food to get caught. Or he ate it way faster than a normal raw pasta enjoyer would, because it was a challenge and not for the love of raw noodles.

So, I don't see any reason to doubt it.

The purpose of this community is the dark, miserable humor that comes from people suffering consequences that they wished on other people.

'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

This might be a community you want to block, if you don't understand this. No shame in that.

I think there were a lot of jokes about the common "women want me, fish fear me" hats, that turned into parody versions thay are now expanding outward in ways that increasingly diverge from the original.

That's just a guess, though. Or, just me making up a reason.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5946918/ oh hey here's a study that goes into the cases when cancer has transferred.

In humans, a lot of things have to go wrong for transmission to happen.

Cancer cells have a parasitic propensity in the primary host but their capacity to transit between individuals is severely restrained by two factors: a lack of a route for viable cell transfer and immune recognition in allogeneic, secondary recipients. Several examples of transmissible animal cancers are now recognised. In humans, the only natural route for transmission is via the haemochorial placenta which is permissive for cell traffic. There are three special examples of this occurring in utero: maternal to foetus, intraplacental twin to twin leukaemias and choriocarcinoma-extra-embryonic cells to mother.

It can also happen in organ transplants, since the recipient has to be on immunosuppressants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonally_transmissible_cancer

It doesn't seem like there are case studies about transferring the cancer cells through the air. People can also get diseases that can lead to cancer from each other, but that's not the same thing.

Oh, neat! Thank you for looking that up. Is it an art thing?

What's the building called? I'd love to see a picture of the weird looking wall.

I would love to see a building like this in real life

 

It's a weird raccoon, but when did people first notice him and where did they start posting about him?

 

Had a relative say he was going to take it as a treatment for his ADHD and he'd read some articles. This relative is all over the place with legit ideas mixed with ones I don't think have the scientific backing. I thought about looking it up like I usually would and just felt tired (there are so many fake sites and articles about medical stuff to sift through...). But someone here maybe already researched it or has actual background on the subject? For all I know, this is a completely well known and mundane treatment for it.

 

Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

 

A federal jury has acquitted Bobby Nunez, who was charged with stealing government property by towing an immigration agent’s vehicle during the arrest of a TikTok influencer in downtown L.A.

 

A Somali U.S. citizen, Mubashir, was arrested by federal immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside Tuesday during a mass enforcement.

In the video, a federal officer is seen putting Mubashir in a choke hold and forcing him onto his knees in the snow as he was on his way to get food. Mubashir said he told officers multiple times that he is a U.S. citizen and asked if he could show them his I.D. Officers ignored him, dragged him in the snow and pushed him into a car as witnesses yelled and blew whistles, according to the video of his arrest.

 

Former Republican state legislator Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called “ludicrous” charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year.

I can't take a lot of cold medicines, but I wish I was unconscious right now.

What makes you feel better in this situation? Hot showers? Whiskey? Soup? Watching that comfort movie your mom put on when you were a kid?

 

Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.

At a rally Wednesday evening at Northcenter Town Square, elected officials voiced frustration with immigration enforcement in the city. Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said the parents from the school had arranged legal representation for Galeano, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you,” Martin said. “There were four [federal agents], but there are hundreds of us. ”

Food banks have already been contending with higher food prices and increased need. Administrators say demand will skyrocket if federal nutrition benefits stop in a few days because of the government shutdown.

"The average household that we see receives about $350 per month, which roughly translates to about $44 million worth of SNAP benefits that will be gone from families," she told NPR. "There is no way that we alone can make up for a $44 million food budget shortfall."

 

Tensions flared early Thursday morning as protesters attempted to block U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering a U.S. Coast Guard base near Oakland that the Trump administration was staging as an operations hub for an anticipated immigration crackdown on the Bay Area.
