Different drugs. The PrE part is "pre-exposure." It's a class of drugs for people who don't have HIV in order to prevent infection.
The ones you're thinking of (PEP, for post-exposure) are antiretrovirals and/or some kind of transcriptase inhibitor.
California decriminalized purposely spreading it to someone
They reclassified it as a misdemeanor but still criminal.
Really makes you wonder if there was some research done that found two weeks is the sweet spot between:
- How long people are willing to defer judgement.
- How quickly people forget.
A week is too short to forget and a month is too long to ask?
Because it's clear from the repetition that there's a consistent strategy behind it. Wouldn't be shocked if that interval has some subconscious relationship to American common paycheck scheduling.
Ask yourself this:
What is the income of groups like the ADL when people are indifferent?
What about when a non-trivial portion of the population despises them?
How can you leverage a victim narrative without courting controversy?
It's not that retarded. Pigs have always been used in medicine because they're biocompatible but don't share many diseases. But EGF is in a bunch of other bodily fluids. Seems like milk or even blood plasma would've been easier than the Hog Sucker 9000.
At least he looks like he's enjoying himself.
You ever want to want to wonder if the animal rights people have a point, look into how they manufacture some of the hormone based shit. There's a cream they make so that post-menopausal women can feel better having sex. To source the estrogen, they keep tens of thousands of restrained horses pregnant non-stop while they harvest the urine. Pfizer off-shored this to China of course.
Wasn't Apollo 8 the first manned circumnavigation?
Outside of Diversity In Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace, Artemis II's contribution is mostly being a shakeout mission: first manned SLS platform launch, first manned Orion capsule. First time we've shot anything manned out of LEO in 54 years.
The only thing unique it might do is set a record for a human's distance from Earth because they're going wider than Apollo did. Which might be interesting for medical research. Also NASA trying to prove they haven't been obsoleted by the private sector.
Mato Seihei no Slave
I know the harem thing is expected when you have a cast like that, but I'm kind of annoyed with the spamming of the "lending" mechanic in S2. It was one thing when it was just the 7th, but now they might as well get Kyouka a cuck chair.
So this means that 15% speaks only French, 18% French and English, and 67% English only?
You are assuming "bilingual" means English/French bilingual and people who speak neither don't exist. DO NOT ASSUME SAAR!
But seriously, yes on the 18%. Probably wrong on the 15% and 67%.
In 2021, 98.1% of the population of the country could sustain a conversation in French or English. Moreover, there has never been as many bilingual Canadians, with 6,581,000 people who can conduct a conversation in English and in French, they now represent 18.0% of the Canadian population (compared to 17.9 % in 2016).
The catch is that it's 46.4% of Quebec and 9.5% of the rest of Canada.
Although the number of bilingual English-French individuals rose in Canada outside Quebec (+53,000) from 2016 to 2021, the English-French bilingualism rate decreased, falling from 9.8% to 9.5%. This is due to faster growth in the number of people who can conduct a conversation only in English, or in neither English nor French.
And only 3.3% of Canadians outside of Quebec have French as a mother tongue. It really is one province holding the rest of the country hostage over this shit. Now watch as they replace him as CEO with either a woman who does speak French or an Indian who barely speaks even English, but they'll be afraid to point out.

Can't recall seeing any creation magic in the anime.
Go back to the mage exam arc. If Richter (a second-class mage) can create a massive plateau and huge earthen spikes, spanning a narrow chasm with a rock bridge seems very straight forward.
But even ignoring transportation, go back a few eps this season. She uses magic to detect a silver vein, paying off her debt and solving the entire Norm Company's issues. She literally has precious-metal-detection-magic. Pretty close to printing money to offer that kind of prospecting service. But nope. We'll never hear it mentioned again. Even if they're just walking, they should never be broke.
I appreciate that it would wreck the vibe of the journey to magic their way out of everything, but I wish they'd be a little more careful with the writing.
to donate "the first tenth of your gross income" to support her ministry and its causes—including funding projects in Israel.
It's 10% to her, some of which may find its way to Israel. So she's a mix of everyone in Trump's sphere and every televangelist ever.
You're offput by the literal bread and butter of the anime?
I get it. It's not because those elements are bad are on their own. It's that it feels like incoherent world building. You can handwave some of it with Frieren feeling no time pressure and just going with the flow, but her character is also to take the easy way out.
Going with the "windy" example. If a bridge works, we've seen earth spells that could have created a "bridge" trivially. I do like the show's atmosphere, but to make it consistent you either have to just accept sometimes magic is only there for fight scenes OR figure that Frieren is going out of her way to teach the kids even if that's in opposition to what we're told her character is.
they're not godlike
It's mostly movement spells making the "slow journey" roadblocks feel artificial. Locking flight magic to demons would have gone a long way, but made the big fights less dynamic.
Not at all. It's the logical thing to do. You destroy factories and weapons stop flowing to the front lines. You kill the leadership and they install someone new. Rebuilding manufacturing is painfully slow. Giving the next guy a promotion takes 5 minutes.
The US killed 40 some Iranian officials. Didn't stop shit. Assassinating a dozen supreme leaders has less impact on combat capability than destroying a single steel foundry unless the impending threat is enough to sway the next guy's actions.
public infrastructure
No one goes through the extra cost of building dedicated "military infrastructure" for the sole purpose of giving potential enemies cleaner targets. I'd be willing to bet that no matter what country you're in, your military facilities share at least some upstream energy, water, and transport infrastructure with civilian facilities.
She answered the question in the second paragraph and didn't realize it.
This might sound hyperbolic. But it’s a realistic depiction of what’s going on in the dating industry right now.
This is the problem right here. Not men. Not women. Dating and romance were a ingrained part of social interaction. It was woven into the fabric of every day life. What was once fundamental is now siloed off into its own niche. You can blame lawyers, media, HR, apps, dating events, whatever you want and you wouldn't be wrong.
Dating was something that happened when two people encountered socially and liked one another. Not an industry. Now it's a mix between hobby and "life planning" task with all the joy and spark of shopping for health insurance.
And yes, lady. Part of it is the way men interact with romance. There's plenty of guys who would love to be with someone, but there aren't many who would pick "interact with a bunch of random women," when deciding how to use a few hours of their time in the future. There's nothing appealing about scheduling an appointment to be judged in a sterile environment. That's not dating, that's an exam. Opportunities for IRL social interaction between men and women (and everyone in general) have been gutted by the technology age and when there were still naturally occurring social interactions, they've been sanitized in an attempt remove any possibility.
tl;dr: Everyone's working, you're not allowed to go out with the people you work with, and no one wants to spend their time off trying for romance with randomly selected strangers. Actually, no. Worse than randomly selected; selecting for women who go to single's events.
Edit: I will admit pair ticketing is a clever approach at first glance, but not once you realize that the majority of guys are there only because they're hoping the friend will notice him because he did her a favor. The guys who would attended under those circumstances are specifically there for her, which isn't going to work out well for your match rate.
Completely different usages between language, programming, and mathematics.
There's already a comment on the first two. Math's got a dozen uses for (). Intervals (exclusive), function arguments, coordinates, order of operation change, etc. Brackets get used for intervals (inclusive), matrices, and probably some things I've forgotten. Braces get used heavily in set notation.
tl;dr: Every discipline with its own notation found uses for all three.
