I was looking at manufacturer prices, but I also just realized I was converting the wrong currency.

I’m terrible at math so I really shouldn’t have commented lol

Definitely pricy. For comparison, with the coupon it’s still more than a Samsung Galaxy S25 and an IPhone 17 Pro.

I can never decided if Thomas or Roberts is worse. Sometimes I think Roberts has some standards, just exceptionally low/evil ones. While Thomas seems completely bought and paid for

I’m not here to downplay those problems in China. They are serious. But, that’s not the government saying they don’t care about children, it’s saying that they have their own racist and bigoted political problems.

And, if you’ve paid any attention, the US is doing really similar things and has been for a long time. We made some progress with the Civil rights movement, but we still have Black people arrested at 2x the rate of white, 37% of the prison pop is Black while they only represent 13% of the general pop. The education system has all but erased the cultural roots of Black Americans, and God forbid a Black teen uses slang to communicate. Most of the sectioning off of voting areas in the US is to minimize their and other minority’s voting power. For now it’s still legal to say “Hey this influencer really made life bad for me, and I’m okay with him being dead”, but it may not remain legal for long. EPA regulations are being dissolved, but the biggest problems will affect traditionally/forced Black neighborhoods.

Where are you getting the idea that the government in China doesn’t care about their children?

Hey man, you’re the one that brought up rules. But while we’re talking about international rules, gene editing of embryos and their descendants is legal in the US if it’s privately funded. And it’s not illegal internationally to do so

Also, I’d be less worried about CRISPR specifically for this use, because it’s not always accurate, is limited in what it can actually do, and there are better gene editing tools now

But our side has rules, you assume they play by the rules.

China academia has the same problem that US academia has: publish or perish.

And seriously, you can’t say something like that and ignore all the BS the US government has been pulling internationally for decades. Trump murdered 14 random people on boats that weren’t even in US territory, and seemingly no one on the international stage gives a shit

Okay I actually looked into it and it seems senior horses need much more than 3500calories per pound of gained weight, and you’re looking at roughly 55 days before winter truly sets in (in my area and ignoring snow days/weeks). So she’d need just under 5.5pounds/day gained and I don’t think you’ll get there lol.

She’s in good hands though! She’ll definitely survive this winter with you keeping an eye over her :)

If 3500 calories per pound of fat, and 970 calories per pound of hay, then Sandy needs an excess of 1350 pounds of hay in addition to the hay required to maintain her weight

I think. I’m terrible at math guys

Second opinions matter if you can swing them

Had a doc tell me I have a “mystery disease” four months before another at a larger specialty clinic gave me a tentative dx.

It sucks needing to travel for many reasons, but at least she has seen this issue before

Where the Red Fern Grows

I was a very sad child and that book gave me lots of excuses to be crying all the time xD

Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc

Do you mean styling baby hairs?

High pH is basic btw. I’m assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off

My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That’s why we have to trial foods

They’re not extremely similar to MSI, but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the band)

There’s an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It’s not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start
