That's actually not surprising to me. The main way radiation kills living organisms is via DNA Damage. The most susceptible is DNA being decoded, as unused DNA is curled up and will less likely be damaged by radiation. The faster stuff grows the more susceptible to radiation damage (that's why radiating tumors works). As a bonsai is by design being kept withing very strict growing boundaries it has a much higher chance of surviving radiation than a normal growing counterpart. Plus fact: there is a bacterial species called Deinococcus radiodurans which as you may have guessed ist extremely durable towards radiation, they do this via very good DNA repair mechanism but also low metabolism and division rates.

So you’re in deep grieving after losing your baby, and coupons with cute baby clothes and furniture and toys keep arriving. That was the impetus for HIPAA privacy laws 30 years ago.
Yeah, okay. 3 years ago
Don't down vote for an opinion. And frankly, yeah, it is creepy, particularly since my 80- year old mum buys women's multivitamins and hates scented anything. Would she get maternity coupons, too?

Vitamin supplements and unscented lotions? Welp, I guess according to target I'm pregnant. Could Target tell me my due date so I can prepare?

What a way to find out. I was 23 when I fell pregnant, and the first thing my dad asked was, "Do you know who the father is?" And I wish I'd said, "It's actually none of your business, and that wasn't an appropriate thing to ask." (He has autism though; my dad is lovely but doesn't always think first!) I fell pregnant after being with my ex a very short time; I thought I was infertile; had my miracle baby! (I was also on meds at the time that make you temporarily infertile whilst you're taking them, and 6mo after!)

I'm sorry, but how do you 'fall' pregnant? Like did a sperm accidentally trip and fall onto one of your eggs?

WHAT BS! Pay cash if possible Certainly do NOT buy lotions or vitamin supplemenrs for Target. Not to mention that unpregnant women also buy lotions and vitamin supplements
Lea S. 3 years ago (edited)
Nonsense. Target can make an educated guesses, and shouldn't be sending out s**t unless they know it's public information. The one time I bought prenatal vitamins it was suggested by my dermatologist. I also can only use unscented lotions, but have bought scented as gifts. Target doesn't know.

I believe they have since stopped doing that. Those shopper cards are annoying.

I remember when I first started working at a primary doctors office in medical records many years ago (paper charts) my office manager told me I can only ever fax anything on a patient to another health entity, she gave an example of a patient asking if his blood work/tests results be faxed over to his private home fax, she did but he must’ve forgotten it will be coming over, as his wife found them and saw a positive STD on it, he was cheating on her, he actually sued or something, don’t remember what the outcome was

Tha FUQ dud I Jist ReeD? (insert Sponge Bob meme) That is beyond weird. I know about the datavalence. It's Safeway cards, and Fred Meyer cars, etc. But how do Vitamins and unscented lotion equal pregnant? That's that part I'm confused about. Now I've never been a pregnant woman, but is this common?
Nicole Weymann 3 years ago
Never been pregnant either, but there are special vitamin treatments for expecting mothers (with folic acid, for example), and many pregnant women get nauseated by scents.

Aside from the hypothesis being 80 years old, little dogs living half this, and chickens also being an outlier - us having longer lifespans than 35 years is nothing to do with modern stuff. People historically lived to 60/80/90, General Cao Cao was 65 when he died in the 3rd century of a brain tumour. Lif expectancy was lower in the past but that was because of the high infant mortality rate bringing the number down, not people dropping dead in their 30s.

Yeah all the companies that made lightbulbs basically have a giant meeting and said our lightbulbs are gonna last way too damn long we’re not gonna make any money so they decided to make the s****y ones that die in two years and it stayed like that till this day that lightbulb is probably one of those long lasting ones before they decided to screw us over

This is a tendon, not a muscle. Everybody has it, might be visible, might not be. This story of extra useless muscle is pure b******t.

That is poorly worded. Of course they have muscles but not muscles related to motion. They do have tendons, which are strictly speaking part of a muscle, but now we're getting pedantic.
