Ketamine doesn't carry the risk of respiratory depression and hypotension that other sedatives and pain killers do. No risk that you might have to immediately intubate someone.

Push and pull technique.

Push: bitter spray or cayenne pepper on plant leaves to discourage biting

Pull: cat grass and lots of cat toys. Seriously, buy more toys. Give them something else to focus on.

I believe that your bodily autonomy ends at your ability to infect my body with your germs. Stop trying to commandeer the rhetoric of abortion rights and pretending the two situations are analogous because they are not.

Vaccination is more like requiring people to carry car insurance. Because what you do is going to affect me.

HPV is a leading cause of oral and throat cancers in men. Everyone should be getting the HPV vaccine.

Sodium response is a lot more complicated than that, and a more accurate metric is probably dietary sodium:potassium ratio.

Sometime in the past ten years, my doctors started being younger than I am, and I'm still conflicted about it.

I'm a nurse in my late 40s, and I still have to open conversations with my elderly patients "Mister Smith" "Mizz Smith" when I first meet them. I can't help myself; it's how I was raised haha

I disagree with both your facts and your assessment.

My understanding was this was the actual intended use case for NFTs. To allow you to properly own a digital item. The fact that it got applied to a stupid fad right out the gate doesn't change the fact that it should actually be used to allow us to own things again.

"Means Matter"

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/means-matter/means-matter/

Reducing access to more lethal means of suicide reduces deaths by suicide in a population. The data on this is unequivocal.

That's because the majority of suicidal crises are spontaneous and of absurdly short duration, on the order of around 20 minutes. If you interrupt the process between decision and action, people survive. And 90% of people who survive a suicide attempt never go on to die by suicide at any future point in their lives.

I'm in my late 40s, single, own a house independently, responsible for all my own expenses.

I've definitely gotten way less conservative as I age. I don't rage at paying taxes because I want my neighbors to have nice roads and schools and healthcare and food and food educations even if they're poor, even if they're immigrants. Because that's what Jesus world want me to do with my money: provide for my neighbor.
