Genetic disposition for the body to produce antibodies that attack and kill insulin producing beta cells. There are 2 types, GAD and TSH antibodies. They are normally present at birth, but sometimes get triggered later in life by a cold/flu. There are a few mysteries in the exact mechanics, but I agree, overall, it is pretty well understood.
The first part was the best:
Yes. I find it very difficult to get a complete knowledge of something just reading random articles and playing with it. For me, one of those giant books intended to document every little aspect has always helped fill the gaps, and take my working knowledge up to expert level. It’s getting harder to find those kind of quality books though.
Is Pliny “The Elder” or “The Younger”?
For all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace.
Usually no, but the last 2 days, yes. They have involved very accurate plays of songs I don’t normally listen to (which I can’t remember ever dreaming about before). The first was “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton. I was in a bar and it was being played. Heard every note for about 30 seconds. There was a guy in the band whose role was to suck smoke out of a dish with a slab of dry ice in it and blow it into a microphone.
The second song was “Only the Lonely” by Roy Orbison. I’ve maybe heard this song 3 times in my life I think. But it seemed note perfect. The situation was I was hanging out with 3 people I called The Performer, The Guy, and The Lonely. The first two guys had to leave and… cue the song.
EDIT: cue… thanks SpaceNoodle
A recent one: Ernest Saves Christmas
Almost every line of this movie gets quoted around my house all year.

Simple and tasty: 3-4 chicken breasts. Pour a jar of your favorite salsa over it. Cook.
When ready to eat, shred the chicken, put it back in pot and stir it up with the salsa. Awesome tacos, burritos, nachos, chicken sandwiches, etc.

I mourn the loss of Mike N’ Ikes in halloween candy mixes. I never see them anymore.
Seems like if she’s interested, she might invite you in for a drink or coffee next time you drop your kid at their house. If she’s too shy, maybe you offer next time she drops her kid at your house. If she stays in her car as little Billy runs up, that’s a sign she’s not interested (or just busy at that moment).
I also like the idea of offering to take the boys to a movie or something and inviting her. But she may just want to see a movie, so that’s not a total green light. If she grabs your dick during the movie though, that’s a pretty good sign.
Imagine if you just had to scroll down to get to the other options like “Does not describe me”, and they are still talking about "The biggest psychopath we’ve ever interviewed - just out of morbid curiosity. "
I’ve heard this but I’ve also never heard of hand smegma, so…

True, he straight up admits many times in the books that he would lie about his wealth so that other people would work with him. I assume that came out during his fraud case in NY.
He had a few deals that worked out - all starting with dad’s money. He managed to squander 4 out of 5 of everything he tried. Casinos in Atlantic City, Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Ice, Wollman Rink, etc. It’s a long list. But the 1 or 2 that worked is why he has any money at all. If I remember correctly, it’s mostly the golf courses and an option he bought in the 70s for an old railroad yard in lower west side Manhatten I think. He really fucked someone over on that one. He bragged about how much he screwed them for pages and pages. Like it brought him more joy to fuck someone over than it did to have a success. He’s a complete psychopath.

I already bought the books + it was like watching a car accident. I just couldn’t believe this guy was a successful businessman.
Imagine your the foremost expert in the world on tortoise mating and your settling into the theatre for the new hit movie, Jurassic Park.
