    For what it’s worth, biology is full of surprises. I’ve seen enough crazy stuff in my line of work to convince me a lot of highly unlikely things are certainly possible. Even...

    I doubt there are enough Americans left that care about real fiscal responsibility to have a small house party, let alone start a national political party! :)

    @Maquiscat, On hormones and ectopic pregnancy, we don’t have a lot of solid experimental evidence because of ethical concerns. We have not attempted to induce ectopic...

  4. 557 liked Sunsettommy's post in the thread The Sham Scientific Consensus on Global Warming.

    You say that because you have NO ability to defend your position thus declare by fiat that there is to be no debate to follow on, that is cowardly of you. I am sure you will...

    The “bridge” between the fetus and “pregnant person :)” is the placenta, not the umbilical cord.

    Let’s start here. It’s usually best to read studies presented to support an argument. From your case study. Some more case studies of “abdominal ectopic pregnancies”....

  7. 557 liked Toggle Almendro's post in the thread A question to Trump supporters: What do you like in the big, beautiful bill?.

    No more $200 tax on silencers and sawed off shotguns. I would rather they had stripped all the taxes out of the National Firearms Act. But this is still a great improvement.

    This is why I initially noted it depends on your definition of pregnancy. There is a huge divide between ectopic pregnancy in females and theoretical ectopic implantation in...

    The age old accepted definition of pregnancy requires a developing embryo/fetus in a uterus of a woman. This is the NIH published definition. “Pregnancy is the term used to...

  10. 557 replied to the thread Can it be done?.

    Depends on your definitions of “pregnancy” etc. but it’s theoretically possible to transplant a uterus into a male. There have been many successful uterine transplants into...

    Thanks for recognizing the difference between anger/righteous indignation and hatred. You’ve articulated that better than I have. Hatred is almost never the motivation leading...

  13. 557 liked Melb_muser's post in the thread Trump says the DoI is about "Unity & Love"?.

    Hmm, perhaps it might reflect 'love' for freedom and self-determination, but in a more philosophical - rather than romantic or emotional way. However just because the...

  15. 557 liked Lil Mike's post in the thread The ultimate reason for the fall of the American Empire.

    That does mark the real beginning of the decline in my opinion. Every major policy decision the country has made since the fall of the Soviet Union has damaged us. Of course,...

  16. 557 replied to the thread Trump says the DoI is about "Unity & Love"?.

    Nice try. But the historical context is love not hate. Hatred doesn’t induce a desire to help others. It doesn’t foster a desire to equally distribute freedom to those who...

    Yes. A lot of NG capacity has been added as a vital backup to wind and solar. It’s idled when the wind blows but must exist for when the wind doesn’t blow. It’s very simple to...

  24. 557 liked yangforward's post in the thread The ultimate reason for the fall of the American Empire.

    Empires ALL fall. Ours has been crumbling from the foundations upwards for quite some time. Since the 1970’s for sure. Politics today are a symptom of that crumbling empire,...

    LOL. Trump is far more clever than you and your party. For sure! That’s partly why he’s president. Not because he’s a great candidate! So you think your party should be...

    I think the SC comes along and says the parent has more say in how to raise a child than government schools.

  31. 557 replied to the thread Trump says the DoI is about Unity & Love?.

  32. 557 replied to the thread Trump says the DoI is about Unity & Love?.

    No. It’s your party’s fault for not providing a better alternative to Trump. Give them a better option and they wouldn’t vote for him. It’s quite simple.
