Has anyone (meaning either you guys or the Washington @#$%& ) actually read the proposed Women's Health Protection Act?
Have you compared it to what the WW said in the Senate vote?
This proves that none of them apparently can read, or comprehend, or whatever ... like what is required to do their job.
The proposed Act says only one thing about abortion up to and including the moment of bi

I must be missing something... what notifications do you get from MRF? Is it something you sign up for? I don't think I've ever gotten an email from MRF... at least not in the last 17 years or so that I've been a member.
I’ve only gotten an email when someone PM-ed me.

I feel your pain. Here’s my story, perhaps you can glean a few ideas from it.
My mom is in similar straits. She’s 84, and forgetting things. She has been getting worse since my dad passed away in 2009. I’ve been going to her doctors appointments with her—as she tells me, I’m her memory. Translation: I remember what the doctor said, and what he wants. I make sure she goes for whateve

Meloxicam is an NSAID, and can help with inflammation, if that is an issue for you. Stronger than aspirin, it can contribute to stomach erosion/bleeding, and can be hard(er) on the kidneys. My mom has been taking it, and was told today by her cardiologist to stop taking it; her eGFR has dropped from the 50s to 33 as of the last time they drew blood (back in December), making her Stage 3b in chron

The storm shelter is under the back porch. Sometime in the past the back porch got enclosed and made a part of the living space of the house, with the portion containing the shelter a separate space where there is a doorway into the underground shelter is and before you go outside proper. This means I don’t have to go outside to hit the shelter, and thus everything stays dry. It’s a nice setu

thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening....
Storm coverage on all the local channels. These guys get excited when things fire up. We are under a severe thunderstorm warning—we are finally getting some rain. Up to golf ball size hail. I didn’t plant a garden (yet) this year, so I won’t have just sticks in the morning.

Tornadoes. It’s springtime in Oklahoma. First one this year that I remember, and it looks like it is going to pass to the north of me. However there are more storms that will hit us, as there is a line crossing to the south and west through the state.
That is all. Back to your normal programming.

When traveling in close proximity with hordes of the unwashed and unvaxxed, my 3M N95 "Aura" mask works very very nicely. And the padding on the nose piece keeps condensation out of my glasses. The large inhalation / exhalation surface area keeps me from having panic/asthma attacks, and is stiff enough that I can't suck it into my mouth.

As stated above, too much water without added electrolytes cause problems beyond the need to pee. Too pure water and you will have it rushing into the cells by osmosis, causing swelling and the other noted symptoms. Too much electrolyte will cause water loss (again osmosis) from the cells. Think of it as the water will go from an area of high concentration (of water) to an area of low.

Thinking is actually a range: from completely conceptual to completely concrete. We start as concrete thinkers: tell me how it is done (not the why); I need a concrete example; if I can’t apply it to real world stuff … that kind of thing. We slowly evolve into those that understand the concept of something, and thus we can build on it to come up with something better or easier. Some people ne

I don’t hear the fans on mine. Granted, my house isn’t whisper quiet, either. I’ve pushed it hard, as well, and still not heard the fans.
What have you been working on that pushes it that hard? Perhaps I can reproduce it and see if it’s just your Studio or not, since I have the same model.

I hope you challenged the Plaids to a drag race.
Well, I was "driving" my 1996 heavy duty walker (that I've been pushing around the country since 1999) when we first saw 'em...., so unless somebody welded their doors shut, I'd bet on Plaid. When we pulled up on the white one, traffic was pretty heavy, and our ancient Sienna needs brakes, so probably not a good be

My dad served aboard a carrier when I was a baby; not as a pilot mind you, but as (I think) a sheetmetal mechanic. He brought home souvenirs and foreign money from the Mediterranean cruises, and had a few cruise books from that time. He never talked about it that I can remember. After he passed, the “expiration” date passed and more information was released by the Navy of its ships during tha

So, the “natural” peanut butter I buy comes refrigerated and stays that way at home. I’m actually kinda surprised that you can store plain peanut butter (without trans-fats, “mono- and di-glycerides”, or preservatives) in the pantry.
Or is that just until you open it? Should I be storing the opened peanut butter upside down in the fridge?

I see that much is being said about Chris Rock and Will Smith, but what about Jada? In the few seconds I saw of her in the clip, that comment hit deep. And while everyone else appeared to be laughing, there was genuine pain on her face.
So yes, I can see Will doing a 180 as soon as he found that it hurt her. I won't say that he was justified in his actions as he could have found a better way t

The original problem was getting the data read into R. I found that the problem was actually multiple: one that Monterey needed to give R permission to read from the desktop (where I put stuff to test, as it's the easiest to find; two that I had to set the path to something a bit simpler but not as clear (to me) to allow Monterey to see "hey, do you need to get there?" and give me the e

I'm trying to learn R; STEEP learning curve + old(er) brain is just having problems.
I have a "R for dummies" book coming tomorrow sometime. I'm not saying that it will answer all my questions, but it may be a start. The on-line documentation isn't making a difference.
If you are somewhat proficient in getting R to read a file, PM me please.

A private VPN is far cheaper than a lost Studio.
Employers generally don't cover personal property, so you take it at your own risk. That you work at a school with huge numbers of transient students makes it an even bigger risk. Finally hiding it under a box won't work in the long run. After a few weeks, everyone will know what is there. It just takes one person talking a

They don’t own it; I do. Previous thefts have been investigated and we (the employees) were told to lock up our valuables while there. Then the University came in as security and now it takes a pass card to go up to certain floors. There are, however, clinics on the first floor and so it is considered a public space; so it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility for someone to ride up th

I could leave it at work, and VPN into it. Work has a workflow that would work, BUT where I would have to put the Studio is in an office that anyone could walk into. If I lock it, anyone with a key to the floor can get into it. That office has never been locked (and to be honest, the door rarely closed even when it was occupied). Granted, to get to this floor requires a passkey to get here, but t

It's got that "nuclear" word in its name, that is enough for some opponents. Part of why they renamed the medical use of NMR to MRI.
NMR spectroscopy involves spinning the sample at 60 Hz (60 times per second). It was found to be inimical to life. Now we spin the magnet … one of the reasons MRI machines are so big. Renaming it to its current name is more descriptive of th
