I have been militant about avoiding plastics and silicone for things like pacifiers and bottles for my baby (3 months). I have only used rubber pacifiers and teethers, and the bottles are glass.
I really want to try this 100% medical grade silicone pacifier that is shaped like an actual human nipple.
It has the potential to be much more soothing and give me a break from being a human pacifier/may help her sleep longer than an hour at a time (often wakes when I remove my nipple from her mouth). Currently I’m the only person who can soothe her and she has colic. There’s nothing else like it that I can find, let alone something rubber.
My thought process for avoiding silicone pacifiers is that we don’t 100% know how safe they are, whereas rubber is pretty darn safe.
Just looking for thoughts, I guess. I’m not super informed on this topic and am just doing the best I can. I want to try this pacifier but hate the thought of her spending hours sucking on something potentially toxic.
I found this study and that’s about it
I remember in 2000 when I was still a PIMI the WT changed its policy and allowed Witnesses to get any components of blood but not the Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
I would like to know the true reason of the prohibition.
"Consider an illustration: You go to a bakery shop and ask for a cake. But instead of a cake, the shop clerk hands you an egg. Would you be satisfied? Of course not! Would it help if the clerk explained that the egg is a key ingredient of the cake? Again, of course not! " (The Watchtower October 2021)
So, I guess the point of this is unless you have all of the ingredients of a cake, it is not a cake. But why not apply this same reasoning to red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma and allow those components to be transfused?
I heard it’s very fluid now.
Looks like the no-blood transfusion rule is coming to its end.
Season 1 - someone from Dexter’s past, a blood relative, is in search of him (Brian in the original season 1, Harrison now)
Season 2 - Dexter has the risk of being caught, on top of his brief abstinence being extrapolated into a longer one (When Doakes was stalking him)
Season 3 - Dexter kills the loved one of a figure in his community (Miguel Prado, now Kurt Caldwell)
Season 4 - still putting the pieces together on this one, but I’d say Kurt is reminiscent of Trinity in the sense that they’re likely both based on real killers and they’re both respected in their communities.
I'm not going to make a judgment in this post about whether this is a good or bad thing, but just that I've noticed FC6 lacks a competitive multiplayer component when this has been a feature that appears to have been present in all previous numbered main series games. I also doubt this is something that is going to be added later, especially with no announcement or hints from the developers or Ubisoft.
She's wheelchair bound and lived with a boyfriend; they're jerks intent on killing the boy for some necessary part of his blood / body.
So in the end if Kara and Alice make it to Canada (as well as all the others before them) what happens if they get injured or run out of blue blood? Do they even need it like a charging sort of thing or is it like how we use the blood in our body? What if Kara falls and breaks an arm or something, how are they going to explain that to the Canadian hospital and how are they going to get replacement parts? This has just been bugging me for awhile. Like obviously they could use smuggled parts but it just doesn’t seem like that would be easy to do.
For the Androids that are freed, if Cyberlife stops producing Androids then how are they going to survive with the constant flow of new parts and blue blood? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
As the title suggests, I have been reading up on different covid vaccines and the benefits and potential risks they may have.
I usually take the time to explore many perspectives and sides, and one prominent question that I was able to find was whether or not the components (i.e spike protein, RNA) of mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna have the potential to cross the blood brain barrier.
The reason I ask this here is that although I did do a decent amount of research on the topic, all the information I was able to find relates back to more traditional vaccines such as the flu shot or shingle vaccines.
The summarization of the question I’m asking is more so whether or not mRNA vaccine components (spike proteins, RNA) could get to the brain and negatively impact or harm it?
If any of you have been there could you share your thoughts. Did you get paid enough? Is there a referral program?
Are there any up-to-date guides on the best zones to farm bloods / components? One of my goals is to farm enough materials to make an absolute shitload of skeleton keys. But as of now, I'm unaware on the most efficient way to grind all these materials up. If anyone could let me know, I'd be very grateful.

> Wisconsin state regulation ATCP 12.02 (8c) requires that terminal livestock markets “provide adequate food, water, shelter, bedding, and pen space for all animals held more than 12 hours.” However, the authors and procurement personnel for Wisconsin slaughter facilities had observed that the regulation was not regularly enforced and cows occasionally experienced periods of water and feed withdrawal exceeding 36 h.
Abstract
>During marketing, cattle may be exposed to periods of water deprivation. The impact of water and feed access and health status on the physiological well-being and carcass characteristics of Holstein slaughter cows during preslaughter marketing was studied through analysis of serum components, BW loss percentage, and fresh meat composition. Ninety-one multiparous Holstein cows (609 ± 89 kg mean BW, 2.9 ± 0.5 mean BCS, varying stage of lactation) were purchased over 3 wk in 3 groups (n = 31, 29, and 31) at a terminal market in central Wisconsin. Each cow was screened to determine health status (sick or not sick) and randomly assigned to 1 of 3 water and feed withdrawal treatment pens (AL, ad libitum access to water for 36 h; 18H, 18 h of ad libitum access to water followed by 18 h of water withdrawal; 36H, 36 h of water withdrawal; all 3 treatments included 36 h of feed withdrawal) in a randomized complete block arrangement with repeated measures for serum components. Blood samples were collected by tail venipuncture at 0, 9, 18, 27, and 36 h of each treatment. Ambient temperatures were 1.9 ± 6.2°C during the trial period, which occurred over a 3-wk period in March and April 2007 near Arlington, WI. No difference (P > 0.05) was observed in mean serum cortisol in AL (18.41 ± 2.17 ng/mL) or 36H (22.98 ± 2.17 ng/mL). Mean serum glucose was greater (P < 0.05) in 36H pens (78.15 ± 0.77 mg/dL) than AL (75.91 ± 0.77 mg/dL). Mean serum creatinine was greater (P < 0.05) in 36H pens (0.71 ± 0.03 mg/dL) than AL (0.60 ± 0.03 mg/dL). The 36H pens also displayed increased (P < 0.05) serum albumin, anion gap, Ca, Cl, Na, cholesterol, and aspartate aminotransferase over AL. Greater (P < 0.05) mean percentage BW loss was observed in 36H pens (5.2 ± 0.6%) than AL (3.1 ± 0.6%). Mean muscle protein (%) was greater (P < 0.05) in 36H (22.2 ± 0.4%) than 18H (21.3 ± 0.4%). Mean muscle moisture (%) was greater (P < 0.05) in AL
