Sex is not condemned in Islam, actually foreplay is encouraged.\n\nTo force hijab is inherently wrong, but in terms of modesty, it is definitely a way to move towards it to most Muslims. The idea of the hijab stems from modesty and moving away from the vice of vanity; drawing away from the hypersexualization you see in most media outlets that objectify both men and women.\n\nMen also have their own hijab in Islam, albeit it's not nearly on the same level as women. Islam would preferably want men to wear looser clothing and keep themselves covered from the naval to the knees at all times.\n\nTo make the notion that Hijab takes your appearance away is a generalization as well, just google \"Hijabi Instagram.\" I wouldn't even go so far as to say a majority of Muslim women in America are hijabis, I'd actually say the complete opposite.\n\nI see where you're coming from though, the whole notion of covering yourself falls apart if you take modesty as being anything other than a virtue, but to Muslims, modesty is just that, a virtue. It also is not intended to be an act to be subservient to Men, but rather an act to illustrate devotion and humility to God, in the same manner you would see Nuns wearing veils.\n\nIn the end, Hijab should always be a choice to the wearer.",

They may be the opinions of every Iranian historian that's ever studied the region, but if you're not going to provided sources to back up the extremely biased framing you're trying to make, then all you're doing is spewing propaganda.\n\nAnd just to elucidate the point i'm making, something doesn't have to be wrong or incorrect to be propaganda. Often times, propaganda uses actual facts and real historical events to contextually frame an issue to push people towards a specific narrative or opinions based on appealing to emotion.\n\nCalling people who disagree brainwashed, projecting a worldview onto someone you know nothing about when they question your opinion or ask for sources, 'othering' people by throwing inflammatory labels on them... those are all the tactics of propagandists.\n\nYou've not provided any substantive backing for any claims you've made in this thread, and are calling the people questioning your claims names. The only thing you're proving in this thread is that you are in fact, spewing propaganda. ",

"To choose to be a sexist woman or supporting sexism and advertising it, is in no way \"better\". So no, the \"as long as it's a choice\" argument does not hold up anywhere.

We also carry responsibility with what we are doing and if what we are doing actively advertises everything that stands against anything progressive women have fought for the past 1000 years, and we are still fighting for, then maybe it should not be up to people who are willing to support morals and views on women from the dark ages or people who drink at star bucks and think the hijab is an expression of women rights in 2018 and that it is \"just a piece of clothes men\".

"It looks like you're trying to say that someone wearing a hijab makes them an opponent of women's rights. Being a Muslim woman who chooses to wear a hijab doesn't mean that they're supporting oppression. They're willingly following what their religion tells the to do. I'm against forcing any government enforcing laws that support or inhibit the practice of religion, if it doesn't harm society that much. I also don't see how these women are supporting a sexist world view. \n\nYou're judging the second woman based on her faith and beliefs. You're also trying to say that her beliefs aren't right because they don't align with your own. It looks like you're more concerned about the person practicing Islam than women's rights. \n\nAlso, I don't get why you're trying to equate women wearing religious clothing to the fricking Nazis. The Nazis were a group of nationalistic, genocidal assholes who believed that anyone who wasn't part of the supreme Aryan race is a lesser human and should be treated as such. A Neonazi wearing dressed like a Nazi is an a-hole who hates anyone who is non white or not from their country. A person wearing a hijab is someone who is practicing their religion without harming someone. I don't see any parallels. \n\nI also understand that there are many hateful symbols and beliefs in this world but the coverings that Muslim women choose to wear aren't one of them and it would be ignorant to compare a woman practicing her faith to a Neonazi Dressing like a Nazi to support their hateful ideals. \n\nYou need to talk to a Muslim woman and ask them for why they choose to wear the coverings. I'm sure that most of these women don't find it oppressive or that their reasons will be similar to those of other religions. \n\nI may get annoyed with the preacher guy on campus telling everyone that they're going to hell but I also understand that that is his religious beliefs and he feels like he is doing what God wants him to. It's something that you have to accept of you live in a country founded on the belief that people should be allowed to freely practice any religion of their choosing.

"Also, when you go to the Defense Language Institute (the DLI), that place where all branches of the military receive language training, there is no \"Persian\" department. But there is a rather large \"Farsi\" department. And translators graduating the program claim to speak Farsi. \n\nPeople from Iran sometimes claim to be Persian, as it was once a massive empire with global influence, and science and mathematics from the empire are still with us today. But most will identify their language as Farsi, but it may vary geographicly. \n\nSome people claim British heritage, as they grew up under colonial rule and benefited immensely from the British Empire (some, not so much) and are proud of their heritage despite never setting foot anywhere near Europe. If they claimed to speak \"British\" we would all know what they meant, but most will claim to speak English. ",

"Note this is something widely supported by both religious and non religious, and even anti government and pro government Iranians. \n\n[Here is an example of a religious woman, fully veiled supporting this movement](https://twitter.com/GEsfandiari/status/958631945063329800).\n\nThis is not anti-hijab or anti-Islam. Its pro-choice. Woman should be able to choose. Really good example of peaceful civil disobedience.\n\nThe original woman that started this movement in December was detained, released, detained a second time, then released. One woman was arrested yesterday. She's not going to 'disappear', she has a lawyer, and her name is now globally known.\n\nA lot of government officials arent too crazy about the hijab code themselves, but its usually not something they can publicly oppose. However this civil disobedience campaign may cause enough pressure for them to do something. It certainly has created a conversation that was not being publicly had only a few weeks before.",

Are there really no politician that isn't lobbed by companies and why do people vote for those politicians that they know are corrupt? ",
"Obama got/gets shit from the old boy southerner republicans because he is black and there is still a huge core of racism in the USA,they projected this racism into a populist movement, look how Trump got in on a wave of populism, Americans have short memeories. Clinton(Bill), was seen as failing to many times, the failed special forces raid into Iran happened on his watch, and his handling of the middle east crisis at the time, increasing radicalisation and theocratic takeovers was seen as contributing, The west backed the Shah at the time before the cultural revolution so he was on a downturn from the outset,Bush, the whole 9/11 fiasco , WMD lies and basically driving for a war which was not nessesary but pleased his arms industry buddies though,which was not conventionaly winnable, and which had no exit strategy, leading to the ongoing shitstorm that is the middle east.Obama does not deserve the shit thrown at him, he was a decent man in a shysters game beset by asholes on all sides, carrying the shit for policies he didnt enact, he attempted to drag the USA kicking into the modern age of social responsibility with the affordable care act but the selfish shits that are indoctrinated to be such such lacked the brain power to see why it would be a good thing and the corporate healthcare lobby ensured he was encumbent.",
"Alright, thanks for your thorough reply! I think I've got it. Basically, the American politics scene has been a shit show for quite a while, so even though genuine politicians (like Obama seem to have been from my outside view, however I'm grown up in a pretty left-leaning country so I may have a bias. I also don't really know how his actions affected Americans in their day to day life so I might be wrong) are elected there's too much to fix to be fixable in an 8 year time span? ",

The women's literacy rate back then was under 30% back then, and it's not a coincidence that it quickly caught up to the men's literacy rate and reach 99% today. \nMaybe if you mean the government before they got overthrown and had a shah installed, but if the shah days are what you're nostalgic for it's hard to take you seriously.",
"Nice text.\n\nI'm a female war refugee from a Muslim majority country. And you should maybe read my text again, since you totally missed the point and just ramble on about how people just need to talk with muslims to find the truth and accept a symbol like the hijab or just randomly assume that everyone is in favor of religious freedom."

"The potassium stops the heart from beating. Interestingly enough, it's part of the lethal injection drug set, for this reason.\n\nPhysiologically, your heart relies on a delicate ionic balance in order to function normally. Each heartbeat is a result of a cardiac action potential, which requires the cardiac muscles to have a resting potential (essentially, resting relative charge) that is polarized (not zero) which enables an action potential, or massive depolarization of the cell wherein it discharges all of that electricity. Adding a lot of potassium to the heart affects this potential, lowering it (i.e. bringing it closer to zero) to the extent that it is no longer able to fire an action potential, and thus stops beating.\n\ndisclaimer: I'm a bio undergrad, not a doctor, and this is definitely a massive simplification that might be a tiny bit wrong.\n\nTL;DR potassium imbalance lowers the electric potential of muscle cells which need to be hyperpolarized in order to do the do. The muscle can now longer do the do.",

"I used to masturbate onto birds at a local park. Not a thing that I'm particularly proud of but I became quite good at it. I was taking zinc supplements so I was shooting massive loads and it became something of a sport to me. For anyone interested here is your best strategy. first, you need to find an isolated spot so you don't become a sex offender. I found a short kind of channel area where I saw the pigeons would congregate. Next, you arouse yourself. I was usually content with envisioning the occasional jogging lady coming over and taking a shit on my chest and that was enough to fuel the fire but if you're not as sexually charged as me just take some porn on the go. After you're good an horny, you get some bread. My pigeons preferred white bread but healthier birds might have a taste for honey wheat or maybe even multigrain. Fat, unhealthy birds are slower and easier to hit so remember that. Once you are seated on the bench and ready to do the deed, whip your roosevelt out and scatter bread out within a few feet of you. use your judgement based on how far you know you can cum. I was a lonely and depraved soul who could hit targets the size of a thimble at distances up to 4 feet. You wait for the pigeons to begin eating and to get comfortable with your presence. At this point, you want to coo gently and talk sensually to them to gain their trust. Now you're finally ready to cum on your bird. This is a tough part because the rapid motion of masturbation is very frightening to the birds, so you have to be subtle. Once you master a technique, you simply wind it up and let it go, aiming depending on your past cumming experiences. I always came high so I would aim for the neck of the bird and catch it right in the face. It's an extremely satisfying and erotic feeling, seeing those birds reel around covered in cum and maybe even transporting it to other places in the city. Either way I haven't done it in years but every now and then I catch myself gazing wistfully at a flock of birds, cock throbbing and waiting for them to land close to me.",

"Well, you don't get new neurons. Your brain stops replicating at birth, rather you get increased connectivity and more complicated pathways. The thicker a neuron the father it transmits a signal (to a point) but I've never heard of human neurons becoming thicker in response to repeated stress. And nerves don't \"grow back together\" one nerve grows an elaxon to the new one, which is why if you have a laceration you get a tingling feeling, that's the axon growing through the neural tube into the region to restore feeling. Finally, I'd have to say it's due to HGH impact on the CNS, it's kind of an evolutionary mechanism, if your running alot from predators you need faster thought processes to out think them.

Were not talking about blue fish and green fish or short bills and longer bills. Come on dude, that is common sense. That is survival of the fittest. What I'm looking for is mutations of the DNA structure where informaiton is \"added\" to the genome. You do realize that when you have a single-celled, self-replicating organism evolving into procreating organisms between male and female where both are necessary, you are in need of new information, not mutations of existing information.

The current study used a 10% HCl solution to decalcify a total of 16 temporal bones. The specimens were immersed in 10% HCl for 7 to 10 days. Decalcification was determined to be complete once a sharp probe could be inserted into the bone without resistance. The specimens were rinsed with water to remove the acid before dissection using a scalpel and other instruments. The dissection commenced by identifying the greater petrosal nerve in the middle cranial fossa and following it posteriorly through its hiatus in the petrous temporal bone to the geniculate ganglion. The facial nerve and chorda tympani nerve were exposed after removal of the roofs of the tympanic cavity, facial canal, and internal acoustic meatus. The greater petrosal nerve was followed forward to the nerve of the pterygoid canal, then the pterygopalatine ganglion and palatine nerves were exposed.”\n\nhttps://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijoto/2012/418650/",

A good deal of it does sound rather weird, even to us, but a larger portion of it combines practices used in chiropractics and physical therapy, but with a bit more precision. ",

"When I dissected my donor (we refer to them as donors rather than \"cadaver\" or \"specimen\" at my medical school), we only learnt their name at the end of the year. However, throughout the process we were reminded that these people made the altruistic decision to donate their bodies to our education - it's very humbling. We were also reminded of their humanity; I'll admit that the objective and scientific nature of learning anatomy can sneak up on you, but we were taught how important it was to make sure they didn't just become learning tools for us. However, when you're dissecting you have to be very focused, and so you zone in on what you're doing.\n\nAt the end of the year we had a memorial service, in which some poems were read and we were told the name of our donor. Some of the donor's families had sent in information on their life, which was fascinating and emotional to read. There was also a service held in the University Chuch, attended by medical students and the donors' families. We told them how much it meant to us that we were given such an amazing opportunity, and it was really incredible to meet the families.\n\nSource: medical student at the University of Cambridge",

"The philosophy arose from a very paternalistic way of medicine that was practiced at the time that is being largely phased out for MDs as well now. When practicing medicine it becomes very easy for doctors to dissociate themselves from their patients and see them as simply the disease on the chart, or the surgery they're performing instead of seeing a person. Much of it comes down to making the patient feel much more at ease and relieving stress which studies have shown lead to shorter hospital stays. Claiming that any licensed and practicing physician in good standing uses pseudoscience on their patients is extremely ignorant. Research into OMT may be young, but the evidence is promising and these physicians have decades of experience and results to corroborate it. Now as any good researcher knows anecdotal evidence isn't statistically relevant but results are still results. As for comparing it to chiropractics, that's more because people are familiar with chiropractic techniques and so it gives people a backbone to understand OMT. ",

DOs adopted germ theory, but kept a separate training track because they had developed a medical culture that prized holistic medicine, where MDs tended to stick to empirical evidence alone and ignore (or at least put less emphasis on) broader lifestyle issues.\n\nNow, DO programs are useful because of the doctor shortage. MD residencies (training programs required after med school to become a fully licensed doctor) are paid for through Medicare. The government is resisting expanding Medicare funding to open more slots. DO residencies are paid for through other means, and so can expand to meet demand.

For cardiomyocytes, the excess potassium has two big effects: decreasing velocity of Na influx, and decreasing RMP which can lead to tetany/ inability to fire AP's as you mentioned.

"This is actually incorrect. Plasma hyperkalemia (high potassium in the blood) actually depolarizes the membrane potential of cardiac pacemaker cells and cardiac muscle cells (as /u/LippySmalls originally said, it brings the resting membrane potential closer to zero (this is depolarizing it). The effects of this hyperkalemia has varying effects on pacemaker and non-pacemaker cells in a gradient mediated fashion. At moderatate to severe hyperkalemia, this decreases the excitability of non-pacemaker cardiac cells (atrial and ventricular muscle). It does so by inactivating membrane fast inward Na+ current which prolongs cardiac action potentials (increased PR interval) which prevents ventricular excitation leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD). Even though the pacemaker cells are still firing, the atrial and ventricular myocytes are unable to be excited due to the inactivation of fast Na+ current.\n\nSCD occurs when serum K > 10mEq/L. \n\nTL;DR Acute severe hyperkalemia (serum K+ >10 mEq/L) causes sudden cardiac death by interfering with the generation and conduction of fast action potentials. \n\nI'm a second year medical student with 3 consecutive days of renal pathophysiology tests starting tomorrow at 8am.

Average GPA for all DO schools is ~3.5 and ~3.7 for MDs. Extra-curricular requirements are virtually identical. I don't consider that hugely significant. There are also US MD schools with lower average acceptance than some DO schools. \n\n As a contrast, caribbean medical schools (which offer the MD degree) has an average MCAT of <50th percentile with GPA being around 2.9. Do you consider those MDs fake doctors? \n\n\n\n\n",

The fixation involves running preservatives through the arteries and then letting it work it's way through the tissues. This takes a lot of time. Once it is complete, there is no need for the body to be kept cold. It looks like a very pale person, but their muscles, nerves, arteries, veins, organs etc are all largely undisturbed. This let's us get a good understanding of what's going on inside. The only way to really understand how deep something is, is to actually see it. Dissection takes many months to complete. There is a lot to see and learn - more than we really have time for. There are over 200 students in my class, meaning operating some massive freezer or something just isn't feasible, and I'm skeptical that it would even work at all, plus being cold sucks and would likely make the bodies quite stiff meaning it would be difficult to isolate smaller structures. The bodies are available to me 24/7. Right now I could get out of bed and see any of the work my classmates are doing, look over the body my team is working on, or look at some of the prosections prepared by our doctors / professional anatomists.

He told me it was too early to tell what it could be, so instead I started going back to my chiro, physio and massage therapist intermittently. They suggested it was either my SI joint that was enflamed or possibly a disc issue (but because the pain was localized to my right side hip/upper leg area and not my back) and not radiating down my leg my dr refused to say it was a disc issue. Finally, on Nov 1st I convinced my dr to get me an MRI and we found out I had 2 dorsal disc herniations and a possible pinched nerve. But because of my age (30) and my lack of debilitating pain, I’m not a candidate for surgery. My dr told me most disc issues resolve themselves in about a year. A YEAR?!

"You didn't take dog years into account. If memory serves me correctly he would have been 12 around his first actually birthday. As it stands, if he's 12 years old in he'd be about 63 or something in dogs years; so that is his retirement photo. \n\nEither way very cute and funny you frickin' goofballs.",

My dog turned 12, which is, in my province, the age at which you normally graduate elementary school. In this occasion, my sister made a graduation picture for him. Now it is hanging in the living room, right between our pics. We are proud.

"Fucking crypto miners ...",
"Yup, sad but true. Gamers are getting squeezed out due to Miners and lack of production capacity to keep up with demand by ATI and Nvidia.\n\nKeep watching Nvidia's website once in awhile they have cards on there and they're at the proper price not inflated. Buy two and resell the other one to a fellow gamer.\n\n",
"I built my current computer in early 2013 at the time I got a 680 GTX which was the first time I had ever had a card that was really high end, at least high end for me.\n\nAnyhow I never had any need to upgrade. It was such a great card, and about 3 months ago I went to use my pc in the morning and the screen was all garbled up. There was no symptoms that I noticed it just died. On a whim I looked up some repair options; I've never had a card die on me, since I never had anything really decent I was always upgrading over the years and so never had something long enough for it to die. Anyhow I decided to take it apart and throw it in the oven, it was dead anyway no harm in trying, and it worked! \n\nSo I knew this was a short term thing and I thought well, hopefully it'll hold up till after Christmas. Didn't really want to spend money on myself during that time, and maybe I could pick something up on Boxing day. Christmas came and went as did the sales and I just never bought anything, I know the week before Christmas while buying some things for my son the stores were filled with cards, I even looked at some but was like nah I'll wait.\n\nIt finally died on me a couple days ago. Just full stop dead. I spent a few hours on the phone yesterday phoning everywhere I could. I can go drop 1000 bucks on a card I guess, but when a 1060 is 300 bucks, and is a pretty considerable upgrade over my 680 which was running games like Fortnight and the Division at high+ I can't really justify that cost, nor should I have more important things in my life and people to take care of then me having better visuals in a game. Going on used the 1060's are already at 600 dollars or more.\n\nAs someone who has been gaming on PC's all of my life it's never been an issue picking up parts. Or buying extras to hold on to or whatever. From time to time I remember processor shortages and so on and better upgrade now cause this is going to get expensive. Those warnings always felt like a way to push consumers to buy shit cause none of the sky is falling crap ever really happened. It was pretty shocking to me though when I was reading about the nvidia statements about not selling to miners last week and all that, and now sitting here with no card. \n\nWhen you live in a rural area that can't even get post beyond letters this kind of shit really hurts. I have to find a place with a shipment, then somehow reserve it which no one seems to be doing right now and then drive for 2 hours to get it, if they ever even come in. It was so weird to phone a shop and ask if they have a specific card and them be like how many do you want? And you're like what? I just want a one man I just want to play my games in the evening. Fuck you bitcoin.",
"Sigh. ",
"Almost every crypto miner: \"Don't blame me just because I'm the reason you can't enjoy your hobby without paying an extra 60%.\"",
"So true, sorry to hear you’re having such a rough go at it finding a card. I almost pulled the trigger on a 1070 last sept. I decided to wait and get it later because it was a expensive buy. Kicking myself now. If you keep a eye on r/buildapcsales you can get a deal if you happen to get lucky. I just decided on the 1050ti 4gb for now. I see the exact card I bout is now $70 more. ",
"One miner at my work \"I have 2 full time jobs, I can't do (insert request) right now. The life of a miner is hard work you know.\"",
"i hope that bubble crashes and that fuck ends up broke.\n\nalthough he won't be *entirely* broke unless he went into debt buying gpus, he'll just resell his cards."

Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on.

God has the capability to be all mighty and do whatever, but chooses to just watch this one play out, since humanity made their own choice to make choices. God would already know what you are going to pray for. Praying for someone else isn't something you do for God, it's something you do for yourself and for them. To clarify your own intentions and to put a little bit of thought and love into the universe. I personally don't pray, but I don't see the harm in it if it makes anyone feel better. Pray is scientifically sketchy, in that science thinks any benefits are a psychological placebo effect, but it's not anti science crazy (like say, a flat earth).

If there's no \"punishment\" for actions then sure I would eat candy all day, be high all the time, masturbating and raping, stealing anything I wanted, physically assaulting people that get in my way. I am mostly monkey after all, and they pretty regularly eat things alive, rape, etc.\n\nThis isn't even getting into the idea of a collective unconscious or religious experiences that can be induced with psychedelics for some unknown reason. There's an innate spiritual component that has been present in all of humanity across the globe forever that we can't explain. What I'm getting at is that there's something greater than what you or I know or ever will know scientifically and some people attribute that to \"God\". Religion has served the purpose of informing people of the rules of life ever since we split from monkeys. Even if they couldn't explain why the rules were there or why you should follow them they found what works to create a collaborative society and progress forward.\n\nI find it pretty gross that me and a lot of people these days are taught to laugh at those silly magic believers that are high on the \"opiate of the masses\"",

And the best stories stay relevant for the longest, right? \n\nNot necessarily. At best those correlate, but certainly not causally related. A lot of bible stories are just rehashes of existing mythology and just get perpetuated for a number of unrelated reasons. A lot of stories that have lasted a LOT longer than religious stories aren't really relevant - when's the last time you really looked into the life lessons of the Epic of Gilgamesh? The myth of Osiris - while passably interesting - doesn't really have any lasting morals to teach anyone's life. While I thought Hanuman was an interesting character, I certainly didn't base any of my morality on his legend\n\n> Well religious stories are amalgamations of the core human experiences and have survived the longest of any stories and serve the most important lessons\n\nabsolute nonsense, from a *very* western, christian bias. what are the important lessons of Shinto? how about Voodoo? What do the Incan legends teach?\n\n> Why do you think humans have had a spiritual element in every culture we've observed? \n\nBecause people don't know what is going on in the universe (especially the people who lived 100+ years ago) and that ignorance can be used as a power over others, which it has since the very beginning.\n\n>I think that's why we sort of \"killed\" God recently; because we think we know everything and refuse the idea of anything being unknowable.\n\nWe \"killed\" god because the idea of \"god\" presented by all major religions is nonsense. Religions relied on the \"god of the gaps\" to claim their authority. When those gaps got filled in and religion was proven wrong over and over again, people started to wise up to their game, en mass. btw, no philosopher would ever make the claim that they \"know everything\", and certainly no scientist would ever make that claim. Only teenagers who are full of shit would even come close to making that claim.",

I'm not saying her heart wasn't in the right place, but if I had a choice between her prayers or me not having to stand in pain for an additional 10 minutes, I'd have chosen the 10 minutes. Again, my point is if you REALLY want to help others, doing more than offering prayers is the way to go. \n\nOr imagine it this way- a dude with a broken arm is putting a cart full of groceries in his car. Do you think he would appreciate your prayers to heal his arm or help putting his groceries in his car more? ",

You might actually be interested in it-a biblical lecture series thru a psychological lense. I've found it super compelling but I was always into Age of Mythology as a kid anyways so maybe I just like stories.\n\nAnyways you know that postmodernism is a set of beliefs just like a religion is, right?",

Don't strain a muscle patting yourself on the back there kiddo. \n\n\"... you don't get to pick what they do\". That's true.

If someone is doing something \"out of the kindness of their heart\" as you put it, wouldn't they want to know the most effective way of helping another person out, rather than choosing their own way of helping (which might not be helping at all - as demonstrated by my skis and starving children analogy)? \n\nSecondly, I'd argue, your idea of \"helping\" is more about the helper and less about the person they are claiming they are trying to help. If I say I'm praying for you, I can simultaneously do nothing AND claim I'm doing something. I get to feel good about myself for \"helping\" but not doing anything of any true practical value. \n\nLastly, if you are claiming to want to help, and I offer you a real opportunity to help (as in let me cut in front of you), and you think I'm being \"hypocritical\" (again, a big word misused) and refuse- then you need to ask yourself how much do you REALLY want to help? You want to \"help\" in the easiest, most convenient way for YOU. If it inconveniences you to help me, then too bad. I should be happy to get your prayers even if it means I'll be standing in pain for a few extra minutes. \n\nMy whole point was that I'm almost 100% sure if the lady had thought of letting me cut in front of her in line she certainly would have. She was kind and thoughtful and I feel she did want to help but didn't know how. If anyone is reading this, and feels obliged to help someone in pain, then they might be aware of more practical ways of helping.

There's a certain point where it becomes clear that someone is offering prayer in order to let those around them to know they are doing good. In my opinion that undermines the faith aspect of prayer, and turns it into something more human and social, rather than religious and spiritual. If you want to pray for a stranger, go ahead and do it. Letting them know you are praying for them is just admitting you don't truly believe that there is a higher power that will hear your prayer.

"\"Semicolon\" is not a hyphenated term.\n\n\"You're right\" can serve as a conversational link, which does not need to be treated as an independent clause. Furthermore, there is a distinct difference between a style choice – such as the one that we just discussed, having to do with \"you're right\" – and a grammatical rule. A misused apostrophe will always be incorrect. Conversely, some manuals of style suggest that sentences should never end with prepositions, and others suggest that ending sentences with prepositions is fine.\n\nYou're also mistaken about commas not separating independent clauses: It was a good suggestion, but it was wrong.",
"In other words, the standard excuse that \"for every rule, we have many exceptions\" apparently stands firm in your world. Let's hear it for style, baby! ",
"No, not at all.\n\nThere is no rule about ending a sentence with a preposition or not. There never has been. That was a style choice which wound up being treated as gospel for a while.\n\nThere *are* certain immutable rules which apply to *every* style, though.\n\nIf you're genuinely interested in this (and not just arguing for the sake of arguing), I'd encourage you to do further research on the topic. As it stands, it seems like you have a misunderstanding about how written English functions.",

As someone studying engineering (assuming I could some day develop that good of a drawing ability), I think I would be more likely to rig some sort of system with fishing line and/or adhesives to suspend a reflective ball in mid air before placing my hand under it... And I would just sketch what I saw, conveniently leaving out the contraption that is holding the ball in place. Also, as someone studying engineering, I understand the very important that mathematicians helped develop the methods I'll be using often once I graduate (although, I will be using those methods, almost always sans original math principles).

"It’s a progression that leads you to the point. No one is drug-free their entire life, wakes up one day, and says “Boy, I want to try heroin today.” I don’t want to say pot is a *gateway drug* but people that smoke weed are going to be predisposed to wanting to try drugs. Starts there, moves into something stronger, usually winds up with the person up popping pills (which are ridiculously expensive), and then switch to H to save money. \n\nMy friends and I all started doing a lot of opiates in high school. After you get your first Oxy high it’s easy to see why people do them. After about a year of use I was arrested for having Oxy on me without a prescription. From there I went to rehab and cleaned up. Unfortunately most of my friends didn’t. I’ve been clean for 11 years now but can’t say the same for a lot of my friends. They started dropping like flies in 2008. An OD here, a suicide there.\n\nMy best friend had disappeared a while back. She was still on social media every now and then but if you weren’t shooting dope with her, she wouldn’t find time for you. For years I tried reaching out to get her help. She kicked the habit in 2015 and we picked up right where we left off in high school, still great friends. She sobered up, started getting in shape, got a dog and a good job. Her mom called me in September to let me know she had passed away. She met up with her ex and took one hit. After two years of being clean her tolerance wasn’t what it was. She OD’d instantly. \n\nFuck heroin. ",
"Thanks for the reply - very informative.\n\nRE: Pot - I know I felt lied to when I smoked it. I was like \"this is fucking awesome but they told me it would lead to other bad shit. I wonder if they lied about all the other drugs also.\" \n\nDid you also have similar thoughts that lead to more exploration on your part? \n\nThankfully I was able to resist the other stuff because I liked pot so much. I thought \"there's no reason to switch. I'll just stay with this.\" and I compare it to when you're out having fun at a bar with your friends and someone suggests we all leave and go find another bar that's \"more awesome\" or something. What usually happens, it isn't better and we would have had a better time staying put. It's like FOMO (the Fear Of Missing Out on something better)....meh it's good right here.\n\nSorry to hear about so many of your friends dying and struggling. I have some friends struggling with meth right now and it's fucking awful. And the keep telling me \"I can quit whenever I want\". ugh \n\n"

These all work to innervate the muscles and sensory information in you arm and hands. http://m.instantanatomy.net/arm/areas/axilla/brachial.html\n\nThe one big branch you see for the legs is the sciatic nerve. The biggest nerve in the body, it travels posteriorly, innervating your hamstrings. It then splits off behind your knee into the tibial (medial) and common fibular/perineal nerve (lateral). These nerves innervate the lower muscles of the leg. The other thick branch above is the femoral nerve. This innervates the quads. \n\nThose are the major Ones.

#2/4 gotta catch 'em all. This is the first complete nervous system ever dissected, in 1887. Her name is Harriett, and she was a maid employed here, at Drexel University College of Medicine (then Medical College of Pennsylvania), who wished to dedicate her body to science.

"I'm curious, how much was it, how long did it take him to save up for it and what did he do to earn the money + how many hours a week? Its a nice truck and it just seems like such a monumental task for a 14 year old to have achieved. \n\nBasically I am looking for a bit of a template to succeed a similar goal.",
"It blue books private party for $4,200, but he paid $3,300. Seller was asking $3,500. He and I had discussed negotiation tactics extensively and I let him handle all of the price discussion with the seller (after he and I had discussed what I felt was fair for both). It was his money after all so I wanted him to learn as much through the experience as possible while he still has his family as a safety net.\n\nI own a Carpentry and construction business and he has worked for me during free time since he was old enough to take him on jobs with me without being a distraction. I’ve paid him progressively $1/hr more per year on his birthday. He’s currently at $9/hr. He probably works 15-20 hrs a month with me. He’s also mowed lawns for several summers (with a mower he purchased himself) and does odd jobs around the community. He got serious about saving for a vehicle at about 11 so he’s been pretty intent on it for a solid 3 1/2-4 years.\n\nHe was actually a couple hundred dollars short of having enough money for this pickup, so he spoke with my granddad (his great-granddad) about a loan for the remainder and worked out monthly payment plans until the balance is paid.\n\nAs far as money he earns in any way, we’ve taught our boys to tithe 10%, save 50%, and then spend the rest as they see fit. Any gifts (birthdays/Christmas) we’ve given them the option to spend and save in whatever portions they chose.\n\nThis has been one of those parenting moments you can hope for, but ultimately they have to adopt the goal themselves. He’s done well. As I said in the title, proud dad moment.",

Proud dad moment. My 14 year old son just bought his first pickup with money he worked for and saved up. Negotiated the price himself. It helps that it matches my pickup too...

"I never would have guessed it snowed in Iran. I guess that country is even cooler than I thought!",
"Most of the entire country is the [*\"Iranian Plateau\"*](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ahmad_Zamani3/publication/262185547/figure/fig1/AS:299322706022403@1448375502462/Figure-1-Shaded-relief-map-shows-the-location-of-Iran-in-the-Iranian-Plateau.png). High elevation. Northern Iran, in particular, has the Alborz mountains which get dumped with snow (moisture off the Caspian sea being blown southward).\n\nAnd yet, Iran's Arabian sea coast is near-tropical (has coral reefs, Mugger Crocodiles, etc.)\n\nIt's a diverse place.",
"Yes! Many people think that Iran is just a desert. But as the person above me commented - Iran is a really diverse place. My father is from the Mazandaran Provence near where this picture was taken and even when I went for the first time I was surprised to experience all 4 seasons. That area of the country is beautiful. Right off the Caspian Sea...hopefully one day soon it will be easy for more people to experience the beauty that is the real Iran!",
