I’m not a financial advisor, but if you’ll need to use the money you’ve invested any time soon, then please take out your money now and don’t invest in something as volatile as stocks. Otherwise if you’re investing for the next 15+ years, then trying to time the market is generally a bad idea since the market is often irrational in the short run.

Bonds are a good option right now if you have medium-low risk tolerance. Interest rates are relatively high and prices will probably be rising if this recession comes as we all expect.

This isn’t my understanding at all. There are several antibiotics that are given as standard treatment for active TB and there have been for over 50 years. There are now drug resistant strains, but we also have 2nd gen antibiotics and rapid tests that can tell exactly which strain of TB you have (and so what antibiotics you should take for treatment). The major obstacle in curing TB worldwide is lack of funding, not lack of medicine.

Edit: I want to emphasize that I’m not an expert. My understanding is also that antibiotic treatment is no guarantee of a cure, especially for people who are immunocompromised or malnourished, and even more so for people who don’t have access to newer diagnostics that can tell you if the TB strain is drug resistant. But I believe a complete treatment (many months with no interruptions) with the correct antibiotics for a particular strain of TB has a high rate of success.

In case anyone is wondering, that’s Bass Pro Shop.

Look at this shmuck, using the supremum of a continuous function on a closed interval when it clearly achieves a maximum. I bet they’ll feel real embarrassed about that one when they’re falling asleep years from now.

“I need you to be able to tell me what’s wrong with this without me explaining it verbally.”

“i bless the rains down in castamere” is a top notch display name

One reason is because your chromosomes don’t control genital development, your hormones do. So if you’re born with XY chromosomes and your testosterone receptors don’t work then you’ll develop female genitals and a generally female physiology (minus reproductive organs).

This is all separate from gender expression obviously, but things are hard because the world is complex. If you haven’t seen or experienced this complexity in your life, that’s fine. But don’t diminish the complexity of other’s experiences just because they don’t match your own.

Of course the details are even more horrific.

Latimer wasn’t even in the race when AIPAC got involved. They reached out to him before he even announced his candidacy. It’s possible he could’ve won without their help, but don’t make up imaginary poll numbers to try to bolster your argument.

KenM??

I live in Bowman’s district and it’s disgusting how effective this ad blitz has been. Latimer yard signs are everywhere here, while I’ve only seen one Bowman sign. The only pro-Bowman media I’ve seen this election cycle was an op-ed in a local paper. I hope I’m wrong, but it’s looking like Latimer will run away with this one.
