I'm kind of curious about local opinions on whether this guy is a known liar and he's saying what he thinks will get the controversy to blow over, or if he is legitimately working on getting alternative energy for this.

the fact that he's like "we'll use something else nuclear or whatever i dunno" makes me lean towards "liar," but i know fuckall about utah politics.

Nice! I got a new one a couple weeks ago because one broke and I couldn't find my other couple. Of course, immediately found them after the purchase. So it goes.

The term polycystic ovary implies the presence of pathological ovarian cysts, which are not a feature of the condition. This misnomer contributes to misunderstandings among patients, clinicians, policy makers, and the public.

Damn, yeah, it was a shitty name, then.

I guess injecting saline into yourself could be safer than breaking the bones in your face.

You know, "went to times square" is very easy to understanding without the "l." It reads informal, but I'd get it. The end part of your example would leave me wondering what was good. The friend? The time they had together? Was Times Square itself good? I don't as easily fill in the subject like I did with the missing "I" at the start. I think it's called "left edge omission?"

i think most of the time was watching a youtube video of someone doing it to build up confidence

i ended up replacing the mirrors of several other people who were putting off getting new ones, and the powered ones were slightly more complicated, but still not terrible

I was surprised how uncomplicated replacing those turned out to be. I was really expecting to never be able to get the door panel back on, but it wasn't that bad

It makes sense it's being reported on, since the US federal government did something unusual in these kinds of cases - they sent a government aircraft to return the child. What about this international abduction case is different than others, that this government would take that step?

It's like when an immigrant commits a violent crime in a distant state. Why am I learning about it, far away from where it happened, and not more local violent crimes?

If a lesbian couple in California commits family annihilation, why do I hear about it, and the family annihilation in the same county as I live gets some immediate local news coverage and then...nothing?

If there are 1000 outstanding international abductions a year, and I hear about two, is there a reason for those two? Are they local? Do they involve celebrities or politicians? Is there something exceptional or weird that catches public nterest?

Also, this administration lies. Regularly. In ways that have shown up whenever their claims end up in court. By that point, it's already spread through the news that an ICE agent was attacked with a snow shovel, or the person they shot tried to run them down. So, care is warrented with initial reports involving them.

It's natural to feel anxious when you're doing things independently for the first time.

If you never feel comfortable doing these things without your folks, it's a sign something is messed up. That's not if you keep doing new things and feeling anxious about them, though. That's if you are still feeling anxious setting up a dr's appt alone when you've done it a hundred times already. I feel anxious about these things sometimes even though I've done it on my own for decades, and it turns out I have an anxiety disorder.

Hopefully, for you, doing these things will make you feel an increase in confidence, and in the future, you'll know it's doable. Bit by bit, you learn you can do things.

It's useful to know that it's the kind that flushes out when you take extra! This guy thinks ADHD runs in the family.

 

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.

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.

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?

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.

 

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.
