You're right. Broken neck during delivery, caused by excessive force from the doctor.

Absolutely horrifying

Zone, soil type, and sun would help narrow things down.

Lemongrass did well for me, but that won't survive most winters. Unless you're okay with keeping things in pots and wintering indoors

Wait, who was the third person he murdered? I thought one couple survived and the wife was released from hospital today?

I haven't worked in retail for over a decade, but that was the biggest fight I kept having with district managers/corporate. They kept telling me to hire more associates for one shift a week, when I already had keyholders and associates who were begging for more hours.

Shit, sometimes I "called out sick" just to give them more hours without letting anyone else know ahead of time. That lack of financial security is not good for morale or productivity, and I hate that the bosses refuse to acknowledge that

Add that any products grown for trade are sitting unwanted in fields, or for aid rotting in warehouses because the government canceled the contracts for them. Food is often held in special warehouses where the oxygen is pumped out, but there aren't enough of those to hold all the excess that was expected to be sent elsewhere

It's a colossal mess, with an incredible amount of waste

I hate to be a jerk, but that's not an atlas moth. I'm my opinion, cecropia moths are much, much prettier than atlas moths. And this one is gorgeous!

But there’s a tradeoff. The patients, however, require immune-suppressing drugs for life, so that the immune system doesn’t destroy the cells.

That was my question on reading the headline. Type 1 diabetes is an immune disorder, what they did here is replace the cells that had been killed by the immune system.

A second patient, according to the study, died of severe dementia.

Also, wtf. Why did they allow a patient with severe dementia into the study? If it's only a one or two year long study that person would have been displaying dementia already and likely couldn't actually consent to it

This is anecdotal, but 22 years ago I attended an event where the US Air Force proudly played a video of a Predator drone strike. I was a teenager who avidly gamed, and felt horror at what I was forced to witness because I knew these were real people who were dying agonizing deaths

To this day I still feel the same emotions when I think of it, and I can't listen to Drowning Pool's "Bodies" because that's the song they played to accompany the footage

I am ashamed to say I mained this character for a bit and only recognized it on the final animation. I stopped playing almost a decade ago though

I'm glad this was the ruling. But will it stand up to appeal? In the 80s federal funding for highways was withheld unless the state complied with the new minimum age for drinking alcohol.

Edit: it was only 10% of the allocated funds, so maybe there is a chance

I want to know what some of these people think of him now
