Because a parent has either implicitly or explicitly agreed to take a legal guardianship of the child. This is clearly not the case where mothers have decided to have an abortion.

Couldn't this just be that they keep some amount in cold storage that's not super easily accessible?

They look like an interesting company, but I don't see any kind of offering like this.

Is there something like this that individuals can contribute to? I'd love a subscription I could pay into monthly that could be used for something like this. Short term, put it in inflation protected securities. Long term, buy me carbo

I understand that. But how is Namecheap supposed to deal with this nuance? It seems like they're handling it pretty darn well. They said they're not going to provide a service to the people attacking them, and are willing to consi

Wasn't intended to be snarky. It was a bit of shock and surprise at the anger towards Namecheap and intended to point out the fact that while his country literally kills, terrifies, and displaces a country of people, he's on an in

Well as someone who supports the JR show saying whatever the hell they want to say and thinks free speech is a pillar of democracy, I'm not sure I would call any of this censorship. Who's doing the censoring? Neil Young? Paying su

I quit caffeine about 8 years, only having a white tea on occasions. But I love a cup of decaf every so often. One day at work, one of my coworkers swapped the decaf pot with the regular pot and I drank a 16oz mug before I realized what was

The round trip efficiencies for these compressed air storage have typically been terrible (<50%). That's mostly because compressing air is super inefficient (lots of wasted heat). Are they able to harness that waste heat in some pro

Would these people have had a similar issue had they contracted COVID? In other words, is it the spike protein or the delivery mechanism that is causing these problems?

I had J&J in April, and it kicked my butt for a solid 24 hours. I got Moderna's booster in early Nov and had I not gone for a 12 mile run the morning afterwards, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. Obviously everyone will hav

Right, I have a Garmin 245 that I regularly get 3-5 days on a charge (lots of GPS runs though) and I don't have a problem finding an hour here and there to charge it. Once a day would become a big frustration though, because I typicall

How do you prove you have natural immunity? Because it's not always clear whether you have natural immunity, even with bloodwork. Is it antibodies, t-cells, or some other mechanism that's providing immunity? What if we test for on
