Chicken embryos are good protein. Human embryos I don’t give a shit about.

The importance of coffee in this equation cannot be overstated. If you’re worried, try having a 12oz coffee plus lots of water an hour or two before your appointment. Don’t hold it in all day before the appt, you might hurt yourself. Just goose your waterworks with coffee and stay well hydrated before going in and you should be fine.
Also, doctors know about bashful bladders so just let them know you might be a minute. You may also be able to collect a sample at home if you discuss it with them first(don’t roll up to your doctor today with a cup of unasked-for pee). You’ve got options. Just when you’re in the moment, relax and let the coffee do the work.
It helps if your two choices for president aren’t Father Time and the Orange Rage Demon.
You also appear to be under the misconception that parents will automatically vote in the best interests of their children. Some may, but not all. It also pressures people to produce children needlessly in order to have more personal electoral power, which will result in a baby boom the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the end of WW2 - and back then, the US had a dominant economic position where there were more resources available to support these children.
I feel that you might be trying to argue your position in good faith. However, giving parents more rights to vote because they have children is a terrible idea. It will be exploited mercilessly by bad faith actors. Hell, the USA should be rewarding parents who choose to have fewer(2 or less) children, or those who choose not to have kids. This planet is already too overcrowded.
You may not like it - I certainly don’t - but many people put higher stock in opinions shared by celebrities. Hell, look at Trump himself - people were so enraptured by his celebrity that he managed to get elected President, despite his numerous pre-Presidency failings, which I’m too busy to list here today.
One of the people who was shot at this event is then-US representative Gabby Giffords. She was shot in the head and survived, but six people were killed. She is Mark Kelly’s wife. I would presume they’re going to have very strong opinions on gun control laws because of this.
Cannon’s ruling was that the entire concept of the DoJ appointing a special prosecutor is unconstitutional. Following that same logic, anyone who has ever been the subject of a special prosecutor investigation that was later adjudicated guilty can and should have their convictions thrown out.
That’s why Hunter is saying his case should be thrown out. He was investigated by a special prosecutor on behalf of the Department of Justice. That investigator ruled he broke the law when he had the temerity to own a firearm while he was using illegal drugs, and then the case went to court.
Under Cannon’s ruling, Hunter has got every right to ask for this. So does Bill Clinton for Whitewater. And the ghost of Richard Nixon for Watergate. Anyone who was ever investigated by a special prosecutor appointed by the DoJ who then faced any sort of legal consequences for their actions can now ask to have their convictions overturned on these grounds.
Cannon’s ruling is a pretty intense case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater with regards to judicial procedure, and it’s likely to be reversed by the appeals court. On the other hand, her ruling was only meant to delay the trial, which worked flawlessly. When her peers in the appeals court reverse the ruling and remove her from the bench for it or any other reason, look forward to seeing her as a talking head on conservative news networks. She’s certainly earned her place there.
They say you should only say good things about dead people. He’s dead. Good.
Y’really oughta call it schniff.
I’ve read that strip before but it never made sense to me until now. I was today years old when I realized the play on words that Calvin is making and it’s really funny. Lol!
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
This song gives me chills. Stan Rogers was such a talented singer/songwriter.
Yeah… Seeing this as a retro game hurts. Also, I can’t remember if winning this cup as Yoshi is a noteworthy accomplishment or not.
Operation Mindcrime is an awesome album that is filled with absolute bangers. It’s also exactly as relevant now as it was when it was released in 1988, which is terrifying. Still I highly recommend it. The follow up album Operation Mindcrime 2, not so much.
They ain’t big enough to scramble unless you’re a gnat.
