The researchers found after the Dobbs decision there was an immediate increase of 58 sterilization procedures for women or about 5.31 procedures a month per 100,000 people. This is nearly double the previous rate of 2.84 procedures per month for women.
Supposedly not a large increase in vasectomies, which I find strange. I got mine done lol
Disagree with your underlying assertion that students do not read nonfiction books. Your textbooks are nonfiction.
In terms of more “classic” nonfiction materials, j don’t think it’s a very important skill. Something like Anne Frank’s diary or Night can definitely be powerful, but I don’t think reading a secondary source on the American civil war has any more value for a student than a chapter in a textbook.
Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.
It’s a percentage because the $60 steak was assumably at a nicer restaurant where you received more in depth service.
Fine dining servers may only have a couple of tables at once, or even for the entire night. You’re paying more for more individual attention.
It also scales in reverse. A server on a shift with a $10 blue plate special will probably have 10 tables before things go off the rails. They’ll also put serious work into getting your ass off that table the minute your plate is clean.
I suspect it varies a lot by area. My rent has gone up by about $150 since I moved to my current place. Significant, but still under 20% in 4 years.
My food costs have increased by well over 50% in the same period, despite drastically restricting my diet and generally eating much worse due to diminished availability of produce.
I use a lenovo flip. I love the reversible hinge, but the flip functionality is quite buggy and the build quality is kind of crap.
I’ve been eyeing a framework 13 for years now, but I don’t want to be wasteful by buying a laptop I do not need yet. They look really well supported and easy to work on.
System76 has been a classic for a long time, but I’ve never had the money for one go their units.
I enjoyed it, but not a lot. It very clearly panders to former drama kids and fanfiction.net readers. Overall, I think helluva boss is better.
I’m also not super into musical numbers in general though, which is a big part of the show.
Iirc Mozilla tried, but they all were so terrible everybody got an F according to their (IMO pretty fair) standards.
We lowkey need a database of how to airgap cars. Spying hardware started being common long enough ago that people aren’t really going to be able to avoid it when buying used, unless they have the time and money to maintain a classic car.
It isn’t just your driving either. They also very commonly log location and audio inside the car as well.
People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.
That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.
I hope to emigrate to the EU one day. To be blunt, we do not have our shit together over here…
The BPA coating is what I’m referring to. A lot of people are not fond of plastic bottles because they want to avoid BPA leeching jntk their drink. Switching to a can lined with BPA doesn’t seem to help the issue at all.
Yeah, but it is a lining. The entire interior surface is plastic, so is the risk of chemical leeching any different?
In English, this is “rolling” a drink. It’s the best way to handle something with tomato juice, like a bloody Mary.
My guy, you’re a depressed drug addict. You need to work on yourself and your situation if you want life to improve.
We have a lot of problems right now, to be sure, but it is entirely possible to have a meaningful, fulfilling life.
I’m working on it, which I think is the real “point” of life.
That being said I’m poor as fuck and need to find a way to go back and finish my degree. I’m very close, but as is I can only afford some medical care, so trying to come up with a couple thousand for classes will be interesting.
This was my first car. Iirc it had a 5.2L engine with ~160hp.
The brakes were so squishy I thought they were out when I drove it first.
I sold it for $300 when it needed a $1200 tune up.
I agree, but forming a corp is time consuming in an expensive way, you need (usually) retain lawyers and an accounting firm.
I think it would be better if getting credit were subject to income and asset verification, and most importantly that the government make sure eligibility verification is not abusive, discriminatory, or inconsistent in nature.
Oh, if you’re trying to prevent usury, it would be far simpler to either cap interest rates or ban compound interest in favor of simple interest.
Rate caps are the simplest solution least likely to backfire, but unfortunately they tend to push people away from legitimate sources of lending, so you do have to be careful that they aren’t too low.
Like I said, forming a corporation isn’t a simple thing, doing it to organize a personal loan would take up an enormous amount of time and money, and result in substantially fewer consumer protections.
Meters are fine too, they’re basically just yards.
Kilometers, degrees Celsius, and kilograms can fuck right off.
