No, that's not condyloma lata. Telling lies and spreading rumors hurts our credibility when we call him out on his lies.
Exactly. Not people but pieces of equipment.
It's a class-warfare thing. Wealthy business owners depend on an abundance of exploitable poor people for cheap labor. Banning abortion, which disproportionately affects poor people (people with means will always be able to travel for healthcare), helps maintain a stock of cheap exploitable labor. Not to mention a pipeline to prison. Pro-life arguments have been cloaked in hyper-religious drivel to wholesale to the masses, but at their core they're just about cheap labor and it's that simple.
Because of the mechanics of breathing, a physiologic respiratory cycle at rest is 1 part breathing in to 2 parts breathing out. During exercise, as the respiratory rate goes up, it gets closer to 1:1. I never found these "box breathing" exercises useful...I think it's because forcing the slow 1:1 in:out cycle is uncomfortable. A 1:2 cycle is much more comfortable when done slowly.
Jugular?
One thing this image doesn't tell you: to make sure the subject continues to occupy the same proportion of the frame at different focal lengths, you have to change the distance to the subject. That's the main reason why the perspective looks so different - because at shorter (lower) focal lengths you're much closer to the subject. If you stand far away and keep the same distance, the subject occupies a smaller proportion of the frame at shorter focal lengths, but perspective is constant.
Some things have value because they can be sold for money - other people value them, resulting in a sort of "virtual" value. Some things have value because they have utility; because they improve standard of living and/or quality of life (including sentimental value). Some things have a mix of both. It's a risky gamble to invest in something with high value but no utility, because as soon as other people no longer think highly of it, its value plummets.
Thanks :) it's a church. In digital post-processing, after desaturating the colors, I darkened the blues to dim the sky and make the clouds stand out a bit more. I also bumped the contrast a little for dramatic effect.

What a beautiful man.
What a nifty little factoid. Thanks for sharing.
I mean, aren't all traditional levels just visualized air-fluid levels? I'm not talking about modern laser-business, I mean the little bubble in oil. It's just an air-fluid level.
It's true. A lot of the fundamentals we know about heart disease also comes from studies that recruited mostly white men, such as the VA Cooperative Studies. To be clear: these were big and important advances in healthcare, but we weren't really including a lot of minorities in the early days of clinical trials for heart disease.
Checking cremasteric reflex is traditionally part of the evaluation for testicular tortion (twisted testicle). If the reflex fails to execute, it can be suggestive of testicular tortion in cases of scrotal pain. These days, though, we just do an ultrasound to see if the testicle is twisted.
I am jealous, I want perfectly cut sandwiches in a cute little box to take to work!
Not a big or fancy family, but a beautiful family nonetheless.
Mmm, I love me some Trader Joe's
Nice illustration. Many misunderstand the role and size of trapezius, I think this shows it well - it's a huge sheet of muscle and does way more than just shrug the shoulders.
Congratulations, you should be proud of yourself!
I'll admit that this is noble and heartwarming. However, the cynic in me can't help but lament the violent ever-present natural instinct of the human race to fragment into factions, bicker, fight, and degenerate into bloodshed (organized or otherwise). There's no way people whose entire persona constitutes a chip on their shoulder would enthusiastically join forces and suspend their vendettas/greed for the common good. Otherwise, pharmaceutical conglomerates would have done that decades ago.
There's a reason this country makes some of the best cameras in the world.
Banning abortion would yield a huge wave of unwanted pregnancies coming to term; unwanted pregnancies turn into unwanted children, who are neglected, abused, and often impoverished. Perfect formula for a violent criminal. Preserving a woman's (+/- her family) right to choose to terminate a pregnancy for which she knows she's not ready can prevent crime. Read Freakonomics.
Embarrassment is the price of entry. If you are not willing to be a clumsy novice, you will never be a graceful master. Enjoy learning new stuff.
Nitinol is a shape-memory alloy that changes shape with changes in temperature. This has very useful applications in healthcare. A device (such as a plug for a hole in the heart) can be compressed into a narrow sheath for delivery through a tiny incision. Once it's in the right position, it can be pushed out of the sheath, and the warmth of the bloodstream will cause it to change shape so it can serve its function. Look up Amplatzer Septal Occluder for an example.
They're nice photos. Lovely dog. Thanks for sharing them.
Nice. Have you shared what kind of camera you're using? Or is this on your phone?
Ah, I saw the little quiver. Good eye. Still a cool image, even if it's a bit disappointing that it's not real.
#2 that's a yarmulke, it's Jew-piter.
