Mainly because of spell check programs attached to everything, I'm not thinking about the spelling of words, as much as I used to when I was younger. When I have to actually spell out some words, there have been cases (which I'm not willing to ascribe to aging, just yet), where I have that...."wait..how the heck is that spelled?" moment.

not quite how natural selection works (after menopause aside from taking care of grandkids, you are essentially evolutionary dead meat)

A collection of such posters appeared on an election board near my place. It featured that Doge shiba inu. Kinda brightened the same dreary faces that adorn the election board each election season,

There were so such camps for German or Italian Americans.

Assuming you meant to write "no" and not "so".

Over 10,000 Germans and several thousand Italian Americans were actually detained in internment camps. In Hawaii, "twenty-one of the 106 ethnic German and Italian civilians arrested within forty-eight hours of the Pearl Harbor attack were U.S. citizens". In many cases, the Germans were given trials and "evidence" of them being members of groups sympathetic to the Nazi cause was presented.

This persecution and internment, however, was not even close to the level that Japanese Americans experienced.

So basically they were doing the old Corona-era elbow bump greeting.

That's kind of a messed up question for some people. I was lucky, mom was great and if it a movie was made about the parent-child issues we had, it would be a a cure for insomnia.

That being said, I half went to the comments expecting someone to have stated, "The best memory I have of my mom is her cheap pine box rolling down the conveyor belt into the crematorium furnace."

There are several different types of dementia each with separate underlying causes: classic Alzheimer’s and LATE in which different genes are at fault.

There is also research into dementia caused by a delayed cost of prior immune response in the brain, as the brain doesn’t have the same immunity-response to infection by a parasite or virus that the rest of the body has.

Alcohol and drugs also appear to exacerbate the above and/or cause cognitive issues on their own.

You knew when you posted this that several officers died and others were injured, but you chose to celebrate the felon's death at the expense of other's lives.....don't try to backpedal.

Anyway, he's gone and that is a good thing for everyone, so finally some bit of good news.

Nets which are cast need not always be broad.

This only connects with people who know about the song. Which I highly doubt for someone who grew up in a Chinese language setting!

Maybe it’s my age or the industrial strength hay fever meds (they’re prescribed….No they’re not), but I pictured your YMCA Japanese language teachers dressed up like a police officer, fireman, Native American, military guy, etc…..

Waited forever for a single picture to download using Persian Kitty

Glad she made it on time. I'm all for us proles using paper straws, so the elite can trot around on their private jets.

your comment is both hilarious and sad at the same time.

It is so easy to go online nowadays and get basic information regarding using gmo’s for transplants.

Zibala said that it’s a random year twice….well, I guess that settles it folks. Thanx for “doing all that great resurch”.

Some people seem to want to blame natural processes (volcanoes, El Nino, etc) for observable climate changes and not include human activities as a factor influencing these changes, as if to say that since this is not the result of our behavior, we don't need to take any steps or make any sacrifices to compensate for the changes that are happening.

Was it from Dr. Fister and Associates?

I’ll admit it. 90% of the time I’ve gotten the “so want to push you off a bridge right now” look from my wife, it’s been in response to something Peter Griffin-ish I’ve said or done. Not saying that the wife in the above story was justified in her actions, but let’s hear her out.

Oh, ok, nothing to worry about; the US is comfortably in it's normal range of yearly mass shootings. Was worried for a minute that things were out of control.

fatrainfallingintheforest

U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday mourned the victims of the shooting at an event in Las Vegas and said, "This is not normal and we can't let it become normal."

Um, it's pretty normal, Joe. According to the gun violence archive, this is approximately the 631st mass shooting (four or more shot or killed excluding the shooter) this year.

The existence of XX or XY only refers to a set of chromosomes which will eventually directly and indirectly control numerous genes thereon and on other chromosomes to express themselves at different levels during the many stages of development of an individual. There is so much variation in those genes and how and where and when they do and do not work independently, and that's where the variation in all characteristics, including identity are produced.

XX can not become XY.

THAT'S science!

The new obesity drugs tend to suppress one's desire to eat. Many find they don't want to eat heavy meals while using Wegovy and Ozempic.

A few comments from Trump while in New Hampshire. Someone want to translate this into something that shouldn't make us all worry about Trump's mental state

1) Upon realizing a spelling similarity, “You know how you spell us, right? U.S. I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that before? I'm reading and said us. You know, when you think about it, us, equals U.S. If we think of something genius, they will never say it.”

2) Talking to Republican's, ""You don't have to vote, don't worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes."

3) Upon being asked about Sidney Powel and whether his conversations with her would or wouldn't be covered by client-attorney privilege, "No. We did nothing wrong. This is all Biden… I was never indicted. You practically never heard the word."

yeah, jumping in and of itself is relatively harmless. It’s sticking the landing from 240m that’s the tricky part.

Adapting to the stress of desk work implies a response to selection. But, not sure whether there is a negative genetic correlation between fecundity and tolerance to surviving desk work.

The drop in testosterone could also be genetic drift as weaker men are able to survive doing desk work.

FFS, Great that you haven't changed. I have nothing to apologise for. I asked you for a citation and you provided one that didn't back up your claim. Boom.

I provided one that indicates the general decline in testosterone is not a new trend. That study indicates a decline from 1920 to 1960 and other studies indicate further declines since then, as well as the expected effects due to decreases in testosterone levels, such as lower sperm counts and decreases in musculoskeletal strength.

Your own citation states "According to research, men’s testosterone levels have dropped at least 20% in the last 20 years with more and more younger men suffering the effects of low testosterone." Still waiting for the 50% citation.

Danish study (Rigshospitalet Clinic for Growth and Reproduction) showed a 14% drop in men born in the 1960s compared to men born in the 1920s.

Here’s one though from the last decades which back up everything I state almost daily n this site regarding excercise and nutrition

They lack testosterone, it’s fallen by 50% since the 70’s you see.

Blacklabel's blub is what passes for "Republican logic" today.

Clearly having other countries view the US positively and as being reliable is in the interests of the US.....duh.

Blacklabel

but the non Americans don’t care about Americans. they want a president that defers to their own country’s interests.

a president that gives them free stuff and defers to their problems as priority over what Americans want. Like Biden.

so a popular US president in “the world” is quite bad for the USA.

And the same is true for all of your predictions of Trump retaking the throne, all of which have proven to be absolutely nothing but noise.

bass4funk

No, so lock him up and then you can brag, until then, you have absolutely nothing but noise.
