Steve Irwin has done more for animals than PETA ever will. Aside from raising awareness he raised quite a bit of money and developed rescue programs and sanctuaries. He wasn’t even interacting with the ray that killed him. Probably if he had been “harassing” it, it wouldn’t have got him.
Irwin loved animals. PETA loves the idea of them.

Lol. That’s right... so far...
But in seriousness, it hasn’t been transmitted to humans, but it could be.

Brush your teeth with baking soda and peroxide. Then you don’t have to commit, just remember to brush again after a snack. :)

You’re right, it’s a little more nuanced than just building the structures. It does in fact, require social investment as well.

Right? The real craft is drawing two that match. And also fit on face with other features...

Statistically speaking, there is a strong correlation between lack of education and crime/prison.
So, the statement that we have need for more room in prisons than in schools is really a statement of emphasis. We could have spent more money on education and not needed to build so many prisons.

I know. Not a liquor, but I feel like it captures the intent.

Actually, with a little more research, I see that there have not been any cases of CWD in humans. So I guess it is speculation that it could be transmissible like Mad cow, if you’re eating the brain tissue.
Pretty sure the face-eating incident is drug related.

Seriously. Both rabies and CWD are transmissible to humans. Although you may have to eat it to get CWD.

I used to do that too. And always lost points. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t doing very complicated math ... I think it was in 9 or 10th grade. But there were some problems that I could tell the answer. Or that I could easily see a different way to get the answer. So I would get partial credit for correct answer but wrong work. And then when I did the right method, I’d still get partial credit for the right work but the answer.

Could have been chronic wasting disease (CWD). It primarily affects deer, elk, moose, reindeer. It is a prion, like mad cow disease (BSE, bovine spongiform encephalopathy), or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
These diseases are really weird. They aren’t really viruses or bacteria but the cause proteins in brain tissue to fold improperly.
But, they cause loss of motor function and processing. Lots of accounts of affected animals doing really weird stuff as their brain degenerates. Salivation is also a symptom of CWD, so that could account for it being weird with its tongue.

The specific part is a thermistor, so same vibe. It costs about $7 and takes 30 seconds to install but it was a headache.

I feel this pain. I made a similar quarantine structure for the same reason...
Then I got a new dishwasher and when it arrived the thermal regulator was damaged so I had to wait longer (only now with the breaker in the kitchen turned off since dishwashers, unlike every other kitchen appliance are wired in).

Actually, what I take personally is the way you treat other people. Speak the way you like to be spoken to man. You got pretty upset when you felt insulted. Why not try phrasing things in a way that’s not condescending?

There have been studies looking at correlation between democratic/republican lead states and case rates per capita. And studies show a statistically significant difference. In other words, republican lead states have a higher case rate per capita.
“In a model with political party in power included, along with any additional variables that notably affected the adjusted association between party in power and case rate, 69% of the variance between states in case rates was explained, and adjusted case rates per 100,000 people were 2155 for states with Democratic governments, 2269 for states with mixed governments, and 2738 for Republican-led states. These estimates are based on data through October 8, 2020.”

Are you serious? Are you just trolling me?
Or do you honestly believe that the way things are right now reflects the view of the entire population?
Do you honestly believe that my saying that there are plenty of Americans that disagree with you means that I am saying your opinions are invalid but you saying that all Americans agree with you because that’s they way things are right now doesn’t invalidate others?
My statement wasn’t suggesting that my view of healthcare is right and yours is wrong. Please, reread it. I was suggesting that your assumption that all Americans want what you want is wrong. Regardless of which policy on healthcare is right, wrong, current, better, worse, etc. Simply, not all Americans want that and your persistent assertion that they do is wrong.

No @famousone. I’m saying that my values are valid and yours don’t speak for all Americans (when you say “we” don’t want it). Suggesting that the beliefs and values of others matter doesn’t invalidate your beliefs and values. And while we currently operate in a system that illustrates your values, the conversation isn’t over. To say that because we have it like this now means that most people agree is short sighted.
Before the 1920s women weren’t allowed to vote. And no one is around these days saying that not allowing women to vote represents the majority of American’s view. It probably didn’t represent the majority view then either—but it did represent the view of those in power.

Sorry, @famousone are you more American than I am? Are you more important or meaningful? You keep saying “Americans don’t want it” but I’m American. My parents are. My neighbors are. My spouse is. Many of my friends are. And we want this. So, what you mean to say is that some Americans don’t want it. But the statement Americans don’t want it, is just wrong.

The American medical system is voluntary if you have the wealth to choose to participate or not. For a large number of Americans the current system is not voluntary nor is it wanted. You can’t choose to participate if you can’t afford to.

It’s amazing that every other first world country has figured out how to socialize medicine to the benefit of the population but Americans are too [whatever] to make it work...
How Is a system where people have to beg for help and hope they can get the life saving procedure/care better that the system that the entire western world employs (that provides this care)?
