I try to make everything from scratch, but sometimes I make pre made when I know I’m avoiding eating because I don’t feel like cooking. If I make pre made though, I’ll always add something to it to bulk it out. Ramen? Handfuls of frozen veg. Frozen pizza? Slap mushrooms, peppers, onions on top. Pasta sauce? Spinach, homemade stock, and carrots.

To me, its about health. I know processed food isn’t healthy, so I want to mitigate the damage.

From a roleplay/world building perspective, I really like the fact that Fallout New Vegas has an extremely limited radio and I do think the atmosphere would be seriously damaged if they had added more songs. I haven’t played the other Fallout games but I reckon this is probably applicable there too. I understand that people get bored of the same songs over and over again, but that’s a feature not a bug. If you were living a hard scrabble life a post-apocalyptic wasteland where no one has the means or resources to be writing, recording and distributing popular songs, yeah you’d probably get bored of listening to the same music over and over again. And then when you turn the radio off, all you can hear is the creepy horror sounds of the Mojave and suddenly listening to Jingle Jangle on repeat doesn’t seem so bad after all. The repetitive, upbeat soundtrack is super effective at making you feel like you’re stuck between two not so great choices, one awful and one somewhat better but severely lacking. And that really reflects what it’s like to live in the Mojave–you often don’t have the luxury of a completely satisfying choice because you and everyone else is fighting for survival. Specific to FoNV, it really drives home the political climate of the harsh, brutal Legion versus the comforting but stale and ineffective NCR. Honestly FoNV is the first game that really made me think in depth about the music choices in a video game and I’m really really glad they made this choice.

I am pretty sure though that the Big Mountain DLC added a new radio station.

I don’t think shoving someone is going to end up in court unless it’s a super unfortunate situation where you shove someone and they trip and fall and hit their head and die or something.

The article doesn’t go into detail what specifically defendants alleged when invoking the law, but it does say it’s similar to a temporary insanity plea. So “I was so enraged by the fact that a gay came on to me that I killed them”. Which is a little extreme. Imagine every woman that’s ever been hit on by a man they didn’t like just attacking with the intent to kill. Just unreasonable all around to allow that as a defense

I know this is just a meme and a pretty funny one at that, but my autistic ass with a science degree simply must mention that behaviour observed in captivity is not necessarily indicative of behaviour in the wild.

Go read the study though it’s a very cool read and easily found online.

Sorry if I came off as patronizing. You’re right, that’s definitely a problem and it’s a shame life saving treatments can’t get made because they’re less profitable than gaming our broken system

The point is that a TB vaccine wouldn’t be administered much in the US, but mostly to people in extreme poverty in South Africa and Eastern Europe. The article says that the organizations most likely to buy the vaccine would be local governments and non-profits, which can afford to pay a much lower price than insurance companies in the US. That’s why a TB vaccine is a lower priority than shingles, because the market for a TB vaccine would be people living in extreme poverty in developing countries, while shingles is mostly a concern for affluent people with insurance in the US, even though a TB vaccine would save many more lives.
