Of course it's not the 1:1 expense passthrough of PG&E's multidecade sponsorship of just Newsom's family that alone causes higher rates. It's the tens of millions in political contributions to not just Newsom at ever

PG&E's absurdly high rates are how they finance the careers of Governor Newsom & his wife, and "donations" to a giant array of other pet project "charities" for politicians & their favored cronies/c

Such a curiously-worded headline, to refer to Ozempic specifically – quite a recognizable & understood term at this point! – as just some "Danish diabetes medicine". I almost expected the source to be some group with a resentm

In my experience oxymetazoline has similar fast-action - even "10 minutes" seems a bit on the long side.

Is there any basis to think xylo- is better than the similar oxymetazoline available in the US? Both the efficacy and downsides seem similar from discussion so far.

As "medicating" implies addition, I'd not call such filtering "medicating", but it's definitely still be a "medical intervention", a purposeful change from the default motivated by health concerns.

I know that's the conventional wisdom, but as an adult of European descent who usually handles lactose/dairy well, I sometimes have periods of reduced tolerance, perhaps due to changes in my gut biome. And there's evidenc
