You're right on the second point - we were all always taught that precum can contain sperm. It can...if the guy hasn't urinated after ejaculating the last time he did it. Not all that long ago someone had the bright idea to actu

I'm pro life as a whole but that's a crazy take on things. The average woman would need to get an abortion a year. That runs me the wrong way on a bunch of different levels. Abortion should be an "oh shit" plan, not a r

That does provide healthcare - Medicare and Medicaid, which I believe covers about half of the US population. One reason some are opposed to going to a government paid system is the fact that we spend so much on that where if the costs wer

That's disengenuous at best. Health care only goes so far when half of our population is obese. I would think survival rates for various diseases would be a better metric.

I had a job 5 or 6 years ago where I needed to maintain/add to a website using ColdFusion. I actually kind of liked it, compared to PHP. That said I wasn't doing anything especially complex, which might have changed my mind.

I hate any application in Windows that doesn't close when I hit the close button. If you want your application to minimize to the taskbar, have that happen when I hit the minimize button. The same goes for phones, too. The last time I

I've have a weakened immune system and am also a wedding photographer, so staying healthy is important. If I can use a bathroom with touching anything but myself (#1), I'm going to do it. If everything is motion activated I'l

Lasik usually costs a few thousand dollars. Mayo Clinic charged me $1400 for someone to look back over an old MRI of mine. I wouldn't have done said yes to that if I had known the price.

Asian beetles also bite. I have to spray my house every fall lest they find their way in, which leads me to vacuuming their corpses up every few days the entire winter.

That'd do the exact opposite of what you want by absorbing most of the light.

The wet plate collodion process is only sensitive to blue/UV light. Those tattoos must fall elsewhere in the spectrum. As an aside, I've just started doing them myself and it's clear why there's been a resurgence. Scans

It would be astoundingly easy to fix. All you'd need is a law/regulation that says drug companies can't charge US customers more than the average price for the same drug in say, Canada, France, Britain, Australia, and Japan.

Do more Peloton jobs have the option to be remote? My wife is an accountant and she's looking for something, but it's hard to find non-dev remote jobs.

Not so fun fact - the medication HCG is derived from human urine and can possibly pass CJD on. There is no warning on the label, and since CJD takes 20-30 years to kill you once infected we don't really know yet if it's a problem

I get cluster headaches or something similar - still being diagnosed. Anyways, they're extremely painful, by far the most pain I've ever experienced. I have a meditation/visualization I do that largely negates the pain. I ac

And it's well known that disreputable repair shops will ask you up front how much your insurance is paying you so they can get the full amount.

You don't choose to be born. You choose to take out the loan. You sign forms telling you exactly how much it will cost you in the end. It's a decision. I can't imagine anyone saying "Let's all stop paying our Auto

I would guess our lawn sizes are larger on average. You have cities where there are no lawns, suburbs where they would have a use, and a lot of rural areas where the lawns are simply too large. It takes me 2 hours to mow my lawn using a ri

That used to be true but in the past two years they've gotten quite bad. For instance, during the child separation story they called it "President Trump's child separation policy," when describing it. Only weeks later

It's ironic you'd mention Tasty as a counterexample to them repackaging content. Kenji Lopez-Alt called them out for stealing recipes: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/wor

So much of what you said is just plain inaccurate. For instance, Trump did not say that Mexican judges are incompetent. A case against him before the election had a Mexican judge presiding over it and he was afraid that the judge wouldn&#

It doesn't seem like "over testing" or "harm" if the end result is less people dying. The fact of the matter is that I was able to get an MRI the same day I went to the doctor with an issue twice in the US. One of

It's insane more people haven't realized this. All you need to do to fix our healthcare system is bring transparency to prices and have insurance actually be insurance again instead of health plans. I have multiple anecdotes from

Sorry, but I hate when people say this to indie developers like it's some grand new idea to them. Marketing is hard. You can't just post about it online as many places have self promotion rules. You can try to reach out to get

Transparency and high deductibles for everyone would instantly lower costs dramatically. I have to take testosterone, and you have two primary options. One is a gel that you rub on every day that's really hard to dose correctly due to

I'll give you a firm example. I'm close to a town of 20,000 in rural Minnesota, and the biggest employer is a well known turkey company. Their plants used to be staffed with primarily native (and being in Minnesota, white) people

I think everyone should learn how to drive in the snow without ABS and the like - just like I did, and I'm 30. The car was $400, front heavy, and had rear wheel drive Learning when you should be applying gas, when you should simply ta

I would pay good money for this for Nikon. I'm a wedding photographer and on the D750 the primary ISO button is right next to a "quality" button. Because of this, with one slip you can change from shooting raw + high qualit
