Awful. We absolutely needed our onsite subsidized daycare at ucsf. It was run privately and expensive but so important for everyone.

The pro-peptide stacked FDA advisory committee voted to lift the ban for BPC-157, as expected. This ban lifting is baseless and will give the public a sense of legitimacy for a peptide with no clinical trial data to support safety or efficacy. Pathetic.

Super interesting- Atherosclerosis isn’t much of a driver of thoracic dissection, almost no role in ascending aneurysm somewhat in descending, a fact that is almost uniformly misunderstood by doctors and patients It certainly isn’t helpful, but not a primary cause

forums are still good
First of all they are louder than you think. You might look at a childrens book and think they say Oink in a pleasant way. But they are basically screaming the whole time and if it's your farm you have to be there, so it's just pink screaming.
Then even if you're milking cows you have to hear the pink screaming.
Chickens on the other hand will make Buckaw sounds and Cackadoo but there is no screaming. So if we are picking one or the other it's going to be chickens for me. One last thing is they're not slippery and they are easier to pick up. If you try to grab a pig it might be 400 pounds. And guess what when you try. More screaming
