What’s funny is no charge nurse is capable of getting you to the point of getting fired over this shit. They’re just capable of making you want to quit. Management does not like spending money orienting new nurses.

Charge nurses and power tripping, name a more iconic duo.

And historically that endeavor to preserve a broken playing field was always what liberalism was about, neo or classical. It was a key plank for the levelers in the English civil war. It’s always been a naked attempt to jump mental hoops to preserve their power. Conservatives forbid the question as to why power structures exist, they exist and are therefore good. Liberals try to justify them.

Well yeah, but that’s been fundamentally toxic to liberalism since liberalism existed.

Giving legitimacy to a fascist just empowers them domestically and internationally. It’s not a shell game where you’re giving nothing. Legitimacy is directly how governments operate, it’s the real currency of the world. Legitimacy is frankly the bedrock of currency itself.

The problem is if they decide that William the conqueror didn’t actually have allodial rights to the land, then all property rights in the UK are made up too and that’s a bridge too far.

They just have no legal recourse if the reward is not paid.

To be clear, it’s because while promissory estoppel and unilateral contracts are a very real thing you can sue over, sovereign immunity keeps that from being an option, particularly federally. If some private organization offered the reward you’d be fine, but when it is a sovereign immune government that hasn’t waved it’s immunity you’re fucked.

Bungler’s Bane grows on trees and sometimes other things. It looks like the tree has brown shelves. Ajira warns you not to eat Bungler’s Bane.

Now Ajira will win the bet with Galbedir

Jet fuel is essentially kerosene. The idea is to fuel the jet engines on a nuclear aircraft carrier after the bombs drop. Namely sustaining a Pacific fleet against China after supply lines are cut.

Well hopefully we don’t try to do that while actively digging up more black gooey form to burn. If it was thought to be economical at any point in the future nobody would give a shit about hydrogen after all.

Man inadvertently broadcasts his insecurities and how he copes.

Functional in what way. You’ll still be quite lucid well into the middle stage where you can’t work. It ain’t like it’s direct ticket from work to a locked memory care unit. You might even find life fulfilling along the way that your current anxieties can’t see. I’m an RN myself and I certainly understand seeing cases where you’d rather be dead than there, but there’s a lot of transition between.

Not really. What they identified was

• megacorp buys property
• megacorp takes loan based on property+development
• megacorp buys property
• land value increases due to all the property buying
• megacorp leverages the land value increase(now the loans are being driven by loans)
• property development becomes completely divorced from any actual need, instead becoming an investment vehicle

This is the financialized model that pretty much drives the western economy. China rightfully saw this as undesirable and put limits on how much developers could borrow based on assets. And this is the result. Realize that many of these loans were foreign investments.

It’s been pretty much party line that they want this to happen for some time now. Pooh bear famously made this houses are for living in speech and directly wanted to knock out speculation. They do not want to be the West and define themselves by asset prices rising with no relationship to productivity. What the West would view as a major crisis then is the CCP’s intended effect. They specifically targeted these highly leveraged developers with the theory (correct in my opinion) that the loans themselves are what are driving this “growth” and it’s largely creating a situation of extraction that’s pricing out regular Chinese from housing. Even making noises in that direction would seriously spook Western housing prices. Harris’s solution was famously increasing lending if you remember.

Oh it’s variable interest rate. Otherwise I’d sooner keep it in USD with the expectation of massive inflation.

Early Proto Indo European genders were if things had agency/was animate/acted on the world or not. Was pretty much him and it. A car would be a him because it moves around. Same with a river or a weapon. A rock would be an it. A rolling boulder though becomes outside context, since now he’s an animate rock that has enough agency to kill you. You get enough of these inconsistencies and the language just loses the original plot and you just have to memorize it points to Germanic and romance languages

Yeah sailors had jerky, smoked meats, and dried meats and still got scurvy. Hudson Bay colony had pemmican and still had scurvy outbreaks. The problem is most of the sources you noted destroy much of the vitamin c. Pemmican is a super food for macros but sucks for micros and still needed some forage to supplement. Famously the Iroquois would use tea made from eastern white cedar to do so.

On your glut-4 note: glut-4 is important for cellular transportation and diabetes can harm it’s use leading to oxidative stress but it’s not significant in uptake from food to serum which is the important part when we’re talking about dietary vitamin c. It’s also really incorrect to say glucose wasn’t a factor in ancient diets. The Romans marched on porridge and bread. High carb diets are a defining feature of the neolithic and beyond.

Drying can work to a degree if it’s cold, but it really depends on how you dry it since vitamin c is water soluble. Anything heat dried(including sun dried, which over temp and time will oxidize the vitamin C) is out and osmosis like salt drying can bring the vitamin C along with the water into the salt. Modern sauerkraut is often pasturized so that’s pretty useless for vitamin C. Finally canned preserves are canned under high heat. These industrial processes are a major reason why scurvy was so hard to treat at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nobody could figure it out because they kept heat treating potential solutions. The British pasturized the lime juice at one point, for example.

Vitamin C is heat sensitive but fermentation is fine and a good reason why fermented cabbage is popular in places with cold winter. See kimchi and sauerkraut, as rice or rye alone would kill you over a long winter. Similar mechanics going on for andean freeze dried potatoes to a lesser extent. Beyond that, it’s straight up foraging for greens and berries but that only really works if you’re moving a small enough group of people to allow forage to be an option. Plenty of leafy greens from forage allowed enough vitamin c to stave off scurvy for many ancient armies and sailors(though not all). Cook notably would beat sailors who wouldn’t eat foraged greens. The other option was uncooked organ meats.

Activated carbon does absorb lead because it has a variety of binding sites that will bind to lead ions. The problem is, those binding sites are limited and will get quickly used up if you’re having to actually deal with any significant amount of lead and if you have other metal ions (like copper) trying to compete for binding sites the whole profile looks worse. This means if you’ve got hard water with a ton of competing ions, the filter will likely do dick for lead. So the Brita filters do do something, but if there’s an actual utility to what they do in regards to heavy metals depends on the water.
