Every college chemistry class I’ve taken (5 now) has had a professor asking why no living thing uses all d-aminos. Kinda sounds like that experiment may answer the question one way or another!

RIP Dolores. I hate that this song has always been relevant


I’ve heard they can at least survive a fall onto snow lol


Childbirth and pregnancy during the first Trump era was a nightmare, and it is again.


My friends and I have been trying to get sterilized since the election. Half of us have been successful so far. It feels like one of the last ways we can protect ourselves


Last time I went through airport security the TSA took my cane from me and made me stand clutching the arm of a stranger while they xrayed me (or whatever that scan is). It was humiliating, and I’m lucky my knee didn’t give out during that ordeal.
On my first leg of the trip they gave me a wooden cane that was entirely too tall, but that was definitely better than not having one at all


I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.
Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.
Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk


I’m guessing that’s a typo given he died in 2019?


Wash the bands with warm soapy water, and you can try using alcohol to remove the oils on your legs to see if that helps. You can use thin plastic (I just save the bag I get them in) to keep the bands apart and free of lint while stored. I don’t shave, and haven’t had an issue with fine hairs reducing the staying power of the bands, but you may have more dense hair than I do
It could also be that they are simply too wide to stay on you, and this is what I’d bet is happening to you. They stretch a little while warm from body heat, and if it’s too wide there’s very little room to stretch before falling off. Generalized women’s sizes drive me nuts, a large in that brand would fit me at 5’3 and I highly doubt you and I share a thigh size. So my recommendation is that you try a brand for tall women, or at least find one that advertises a thigh measurement.


I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me


I have sometimes wondered if the shooter heard what Kirk was saying when he took the shot


It’s very easy to make with a mold, and you can add any fillings you like


Horizon: Forbidden West because the story,music, voice acting, and gameplay really pulled me in. I felt a lot of emotions that I hadn’t felt in a long time because of this game. When it ended I felt like I was losing something dear to me lol
Baldurs Gate 3 left me wishing for more, but that is entirely because the third act was so damn rushed compared to the rest of the game.


I have some Ruffwear boots that I pair with socks for my dog. I got them six years ago, so I’m not sure how the quality holds up now but I still use the boots every year in Montana. I will say I found their sizing guide to be true to size!


I think that you should talk to your doctor about your concerns. My doctor prescribed a UVB light that I use for a short period every day and it seems to be helping quite a lot with my muscle pain and vitamin D levels


The other reason for the surgery was actually to look for reasons I’m in pain, like adhesions or other evidence of endometriosis. I have nexplanon and haven’t had a period in several years, yet still have cyclical intense pain
My ob ordered an mri after we learned the surgery was canceled, maybe that will give us the evidence we need to move forward with surgery again


A lot of us using VA Healthcare get disability compensation. Do you know how much more the VA pays if you go from 0 children to one on 100%? Less than $100/mo
I was scheduled to be surgically sterilized in two weeks, because I was afraid of exactly this direction after the VA secretary issued a statement saying single women could be refused treatment by VA doctors. The VA canceled my surgery 🙃


Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts
I eat breakfast consistently, usually some form of rice porrige and various veggies. Lunch is my most skipped meal, but I forget to eat dinner sometimes too lol
If I’m lucky I made rice for dinner and have left over to stir fry the next morning
