Oh man. My mother was a huge fan of landscaping with invasive species. This is also a place that has had a lot of local plants absolutely smothered by kudzu vine. Bamboo was going in right as I was moving to another state. Maybe it was a good idea to cut contract with her, I can’t imagine it’s been cheap or easy to maintain

The plants are nigh impossible to control or remove. They’re like mint; only plant it in the ground if you hate yourself and your neighbors :)

Which distros are you using on laptop? I have a gaming laptop, I’ve been procrastinating on the switch because I dont want to lose some things. I really enjoy the control software for the lights and fans that it came pre-installed with, for example

It’s okay to use the word “British”, it’s not a slur or anything

He’s a convert himself, and she supported him in that conversion in the first place.

Remember when she was so sure they’d win the presidency that she quit her high paying job immediately before he was chosen as VP? I think she’s still all in on this, because I also think she has more conviction than he does

Precariously placed 10%

I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.

There are a few reasons that I know of: Heavy bodies are more difficult to move, fat bodies take longer to dissect, and large bodies don’t always fit on the (usually decades-old) tables.

I think that weight is a disqualification that’s been changing in recent years, because even in Europe bodies are starting to trend larger. But it’s still something to keep in mind if you live in like Mississippi and think the University of Mississippi will take your 350 pound grandpa when he passes on.

I think it’s implying the opposite, that they abused their body so much during life that they no longer qualify to be donated. Weight is one of the major disqualifiers for whole-body donation.

The vast majority of bodies go to medical institutions for surgical training, with a smaller percent going to research

The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol

I’m aware of that. I am not sure why you told me to watch that video when I was trying to figure out why they chose folinic acid supplements specifically. Because folic acid and folinic acid can really make people with MTHFR deficiency sick, and for some it also worsens their autism symptoms.

My brain doesn’t handle videos very well, what’s the summary?

I think this is based on poor understanding of genetics. A lot of neurodivergent people have mutations in a gene (MTHFR) that deals with processing folate, but that doesn’t mean they have reduced folate by itself. But, taking folic acid if you have decreased ability to process it can actually cause health problems. I’m not sure what the difference is for folinic acid, but this just all sounds very pharma-bro and unscientific to me

I was looking at manufacturer prices, but I also just realized I was converting the wrong currency.

I’m terrible at math so I really shouldn’t have commented lol

Definitely pricy. For comparison, with the coupon it’s still more than a Samsung Galaxy S25 and an IPhone 17 Pro.

I didn’t realize they were still on speaking terms
