Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can’t fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn’t be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn’t have bobbed its head.

You might’ve insulated your garage door, but did you weatherize it? You can get decent weather stripping to go along all 4 edges of the door to block off the cracks. As far as insulating your garage ceiling, it’s something I’ve considered too, but one thing I don’t have an answer too is how that would affect the airflow or code compliance for my gas furnace and gas water heater, which are both in the garage.

Also, when we did an exterior remodel, we discovered there was no insulation in the exterior garage wall, only in the walls shared with the interior of the house, so you may be contending with that. We had that wall insulated when we did the renovation, and it made a noticeable difference. I’ve also planted trees to shade that garage wall, otherwise it gets blasted with afternoon sun.

If I had the energy and time, I would put batt insulation above the garage ceiling and also replace my attic stairs, which are old and poorly sealed. A mini split AC would also be pretty sweet.

You might be interested in watching videos by Matt Risinger on YouTube, he does a ton on insulation projects in 70s-80s builds in Texas

Are these “the capitalists” in the room with you right now? JFC dude, the capitalist countries you’re complaining about are also the ones with the lowest TB mortality. Not everything bad is because of “the capitalists.”

The flu averages like 700K deaths every year forever

TIL all the food in the “baby food” section at the grocery store isn’t actually baby food lmao.

In the first six months, babies should only have breast milk or formula, so I guess I have no idea what baby food you’re referring to.

The conclusion you drew here is not based in real information. Infants can start having cow’s milk at about 1 year, but they can have properly prepared meat as soon as they start eating solid food, which is typically around 6 months.

When you call an event where kids get together to celebrate the end of high school “frivolous” and “dumb,” it really comes across as putting other people down.

You might consider what’s driving you to put people down who are having fun

I don’t remember it very well, but I know I cried for like 2 hours when I finished “A Dog Called Kitty.”

Protein powder is a calorically dense food supplement, not a vitamin or mineral supplement

I’d like to note in my top level comment I was referring to medically unnecessary vitamin and mineral supplementation. Protein powder is food and is not part of that. It’s 100% necessary for serious lifters, but it’s definitely also overused by people who are not serious lifters.

If you think you have a deficiency, explain why to a doctor. A blood test to know for sure is simple. A doctor will know what kind of supplementation would best serve you, and there may be an underlying reason that can be treated to fix it.

I didn’t say “no one should take supplements ever,” I said most people who take supplements are doing so unnecessarily, and you should do so under the supervision of a physician.

Are you finding yourself deficient in vitamin K based on some symptom you’re experiencing? Vitamin K is in soybeans, cashews, broccoli, chicken, grapes, blueberries, and a bunch of oils, including soybean, olive, and canola oils, and the list goes on and on. Vitamin K deficiency in adults is extremely rare.

Like every other vitamin and mineral, eating average healthy (and even lots of unhealthy) foods will meet your RDA.

Vitamin and mineral supplements. You only need supplementation if you have a specific deficiency, and deficiencies are not extremely common. Most people who take supplements do not need them and are just peeing out all the extra things they’re putting in their bodies while shelling out ridiculous prices to “natural remedy” companies.

If you think you have a deficiency, explain why to a doctor. A blood test to know for sure is simple. A doctor will know what kind of supplementation would best serve you, and there may be an underlying reason that can be treated to fix it. Also eat some god damn vegetables you fat little piggy

If we low-ball that estimate at $200 per pay period per person, someone who worked there the full 5 years would get $26,000. Their north America operations were 33.6% women in 2022, but no clue how many women total that translates to. They have 161,000 employees globally. If they have 20,000 women in the US, that would translate to $520,000,000. If it’s 40,000, then $1 billion. Yes, they could afford it, but they’re not going to like it.

“Social services are like diplomats, except instead of being international, they’re top-down” is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. You absolutely made that up.
