    The urinals at my work are terrible, even though I'm 5'10". One is so low that it's like pissing in a bucket. The other is so high it's like pissing straight ahead.

    Naturopath loses licence after selling and promoting fecal transplants for autistic kids
  • FarceMultiplier FarceMultiplier 12mo ago 62%

    I'm not sure how to feel about this. I'm officially diagnosed autistic in my 50s. My always-existing eccentricity got much worse after a major infection after a partial thyroidectomy, the C. difficile infection that followed antibiotics, and the long recovery from that.

    If a fecal transplant made my daily life easier, I would do it. I'm tired of being so weird and friendless.

    When stupid people think their opinions are as good as opinions from experts, the world edges closer to extinction.

    The real Buffy Sainte-Marie is a con artist and thief of indigenous grants.

    That was one hell of a report. Incontrovertible.

    I don't understand how they expect anyone to start a business when savings are decimated by inflation, and wages are considerably less than the US.

    Interesting that this also shows that we don't have enough hotels, they are in the wrong location, and they are too expensive.

    I use lactase enzyme pills and they work very well for me. In Canada I pay about $15 for 40. However, I did buy some in Mexico and they were super cheap...I think it was 30 for $2.70CAD.

    There's a good YouTube video titled something like "china's economy is 60% smaller than they state". It's worth watching.

    There's lots of rightful effort to help with suicidal ideation, but nowhere near the same amount for murder ideation.

    Putin signed a law in August creating a new required course in “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland.” In July, the defense ministry approved high school-age lessons on how to operate assault rifles, combat drones and hand grenades. They will be introduced across Russia next year. Barbieri believes the drone lessons are in response to Ukraine’s extensive use of drones to disrupt and damage Russian locations. At younger ages, children as young as seven are learning how to assemble machine guns.

    I'm going to be in Puerto Vallarta in October. If I buy souvenirs/art/clothing does it make more sense to ship it back or pay for another piece of luggage?
