College professors. Most are part time adjunct, most make garbage pay, work their asses off, while university executives make bank.

Surprised no one mentioned this, but carry-on bags are no longer free for all - only free for the first ones in line.

In the US, most professors are part time adjunct and get no health benefits. Probably make 30-50k.

Tenured faculty at major universities make 70-90k.

Considering these jobs requires at least 9 years of uni (in the US), the lifetime income of professors is still very low.

RE TAs: I US stem fields TAs work 20h and make 15-30k. That usually includes free tuition, but not in all states (e.g. in Texas, you sometimes pay tuition out of your TA pay, which is crazy)

From Wikipedia:

According to the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria, Dionysus was guided in his journey by Prosymnus or Polymnus, who requested, as his reward, to be Dionysus' lover. Prosymnus died before Dionysus could honor his pledge, so to satisfy Prosymnus' shade, Dionysus fashioned a phallus from a fig branch and penetrated himself with it at Prosymnus' tomb. This story survives in full only in Christian sources, whose aim was to discredit pagan mythology, but it appears to have also served to explain the origin of secret objects used by the Dionysian Mysteries.

This shouldn't be taken seriously. It's a very quick and dirty analysis presented at a conference without peer review. Start worrying when/if the scientific paper comes out, which might be years or never.

To correct someone from saying "so" too much:

"Sew buttons on ice cream"

"Hey" too much:

"Hay is for horses"

"Well" too much:

"Well, well, well - that's three holes in the ground"

Micromanage much?!?!

Secret: it was written by trump associates, so he must have known about it

Read the article:

"We didn’t see somebody go unconscious in 30 seconds,” said Red Hood. “What we saw was minutes of someone struggling for their life.”

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers used a large, binational cohort (total n = 4,731,778) to investigate the short- and long-term associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and subsequent adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. They used exposure-driven propensity score matching to compare their samples’ outcomes against the general population and individuals with a non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection.

Study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae. Specific conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome (aHR, 4.63), cognitive deficit (aHR, 2.67), insomnia (aHR, 2.40), anxiety disorder (aHR, 2.23), encephalitis (aHR, 2.15), ischaemic stroke (aHR, 2.00), mood disorder (aHR, 1.93), and nerve/nerve root/plexus disorder (aHR, 1.47). Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection

This is too broad of a question. There are many SSRIs and the people giving answers have not tried them all.

I bet you navy exercises had something to do with it.

Metapod occurs among adult women between pupation and ecdysis.

I donno, I think airlines that cram in more seats without increasing overhead storage are subhuman.

A blog post from Pornhub said that its latest locations for shutdowns are Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska. The site said it would end operations in those states in July 2024. The website closed in Texas last week, and has also blocked access to its site in Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia in response to similar state legislation.

Tl;dr: A new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia alleges that al-Qaeda had significant, indeed decisive, state support for its attacks. Officials of the Saudi government, the plaintiffs’ attorneys contend, formed and operated a network inside the United States that provided crucial assistance to the first cohort of 9/11 hijackers to enter the country.

Probabilities and basic stats. People do not think in "what are the chances" but in black and white. I think one reason is we don't teach probabilities in American schools. It drastically impacts a citizens ability to understand the news, and especially science.

No it isn't part of the story of creation.

No it isn't rude.

Maybe look up "compatibilism". It's a philosophy proposing that both exist.

No, you can have PTSD and be president.

I think "used to be" is key here. After 911 there were tons of violent anti Muslim videos.

Yeah, pretty sure it was fermented into ammonia and didn't smell like pee.

Were they ever made with lead? Sounds like a bad choice for something that goes in an oven, since lead has such a low melting point. Not that I know anything, just pontificating.

Well, if you're asking cause you want to apply it in the real world, then you should not rely on just one or a few studies in the literature.

Maybe ask a MD?

Is that your situation? I live pretty rural, but there's a Walmart, Lowe's, or home depot pretty much the same distance as tractor supply, and that's probably the situation for most of the US. I also buy online. Mom and pop feed stores are all over the place.

For me, it's real easy to go somewhere else.

Today?
