There are limited if any medical regulations for politics. With the exception of the executive branch where one person is supposed to be in control, in legislative branches no single senator or rep is required for it to function. A dead senator doesnt stop government function and it is up to the voters and state laws for placement or replacement. The US is a gerontocracy for many reasons, a big one is that seniority matters for political power, e.g. committee appointments, name recognition, etc. Multiple important politicians are in their 70s-90s in part from inertia and in part because of the power of the baby boomer voting bloc.

As you say the thing to complain about isnt a helipad but the second part because it will inevitably fall on taxpayers to cover the shortfall as taxpayers have also had to pay for the Qatar(?) jet to be fixed up for airforce one.

Depends on who’s making it. The pith may add some bitterness but it also allows you to make it without adding pectin because it is naturally present.

She can, just chooses other spending that makes her illness worse while occasionally reapplying makeup to hide things.

1. Because long-term strategy in the current US basically doesn’t exist. Voters want the results immediately and if they don’t see them they don’t vote the representative back in. The next representative wants to do their own thing and thus tears down what has been done to put their own stamp on it.

2. companies don’t want to do the starting line work that leads to a product. Failure rate is too high. Companies come in once government and academic scientists have developed things to a greater point. The guy who invented the blue led did a whole bunch of experiments in direct contradiction to his company execs following the results of an academic scientist.

Generics are not anything new, they can only get made once a patent has run out.

It does…

If it were the burning then dip/chew wouldn’t be a cause for mouth and throat cancer. The 1.5-6 mgs in a zyn vs the 1mg/100kg of tomato is a very different dosage. Nicotine alone can be cytotoxic and promote EMT both factors that can indicate cancer risk.

Flavoring problems arent really a reach considering some have induced severe and deadly responses in people who vape.

It sounds like the same claims as filtered cigarettes had with the same degree of proof. The current FDA has been largely regulatory captured imo.

Zyns also tend to be flavored, flavorings which are highly unregulated and untested.

Nicotine itself causes issues. It might be less alone than with the other components of tobacco but saying it’s safer than cigarettes is a stretch from current data imo.

Anecdotally a person I know is attempting to wean off and each decrease in number of zins has measurably improved their heart rate and sleep.

It’s probably a grift in some way but on paper they seem fine.

The first written fictional work we know of is the Epic of Gilgamesh from ~4000years ago. Considering that many societies, including those with writing also had strong oral traditions and these likely included fictional stories. A lot of these stories include fictional settings, such as heaven or hell/netherworld. Thus the first fictional universes can be considered as prior to writing.

Another.

4. Changing her campaign aim to right of center, courting ex Republicans rather than going left.

That is Musk’s MO. Tesla is the same, has a market cap of ~1.4T but q4 of 2025 made only 820M of profit, 540M is because of emissions credits…

Seems so, Lander is more progressive and was supported by Mamdani

Jobs was the precursor to Musk. Marketers who act like they’re the designers but other people do the work. Jobs did at least have some design ethos though.

Kidney stones are known as one of the most painful things, and knowing the problem means the pain is no longer important for diagnosis.

Then why is the middle seat the safest car seat?

You’re female which is a detriment to appropriate medical care, being non-white is also a detriment to care. As others note there are also various systematic and medical reasons a doctor may not prescribe or use pain-relievers especially prior to understanding the problem.

I will say you need a new ob/gyn as there are recent updates that make pain relief a standard for iud insertion.

I have like 50 tabs across various groups. A lot are things I want to read but haven’t gotten to yet, a few are just work (email, slack, onedrive). Some are for job apps. I do restore my tabs lol.

Bookmarks are messier because the papers aren’t necessary all the time and their citations are in endnote. But if I bookmarked all the papers I’d have some thousands which is too messy in a browser.

I can say a magician pulled a rabbit out of an empty hat, doesn’t mean there’s actual magic. Belief in your perception is exactly how magic tricks work, eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable.

Besides the church a singular time has anyone confirmed the appearance of tissue and blood?
