Bread and butter would taste a far sight better than some wedding cakes I've had, and besides...who doesn't love butter?

If I invited to such wedding, I will come with triple of gift money that usually I bring. This should be the norm. All newly wed should prioritize their own life, not just a dream wedding

Exactly - a wedding is just a party. Some people love going all-out, which is fine if it makes them happy, but no one should feel obligated to go into massive debt for a party. Best wedding I ever went to was held in a living room and was a potluck so all the guests brought a dish. We also lit off 2 fireworks in the backyard, one for bride, one for groom :) it was so chill and fun.

I would legit prefer the bread and butter and their happiness. Hell, I would take no food and just a celebration of their happiness with friends.

We had a small destination wedding, not the weird crazy expensive, and then a reception where family brought food, we ordered pizza and chicken people were in shorts and tshirts or dressed formal (we wore wedding gown and tux but encouraged everyone to relax) the last few weddings we went to were so formal and stuffy. And obviously expensive. And not all happy endings…I would be happy to take food to a casual wedding if I was able!

This is exactly what a wedding should be, not these ridiculous extravagant affairs that put you in debt instead of using those funds for a down payment on a house. Since 40-50% of US marriages end in divorce, think of it as an investment. An over budget wedding is a very stupid investment with those odds.

I’ve had 3 surgeries on it and didn’t know drs missed problems for over 30 years. To this day I have to keep that same foot warm with a sock and/or blanket, she’s no longer around to cuddle it. It’s like she knew.

    The one who is donated to has the power to refuse or reach out. The donor's family does not have contact info. Only the recipient can have the information. So the family had to have contacted the donor's family

    I worked in a transplant clinic for five years (non-clinical). The emotion that flows through every transplant is always deep. Everyone involved knows the sacrifice made by someone and their family that allows another family to stay whole. It can be very challenging work, but ultimately very rewarding.

Would have been great though. Would have made it somehow…. not exactly worth it, but…. At least there would have come something good out of it, you know?

    And, most glacial ice is blue. The extreme compression that takes place forces all the air out. And the ice crystals become huge ... light then, like in an ocean, absorbs the red end of the spectrum, In the 90's "glacial ice" was a fad in bar drinks ... it melted "violently (movement) and loudly"

    Meanwhile, Mark Janes, a chartered biologist and scientist, revealed in a past interview that life is inherently simple, with carbon being its main ingredient. It’s an element that can be found everywhere, from living things and air to the ocean, rocks and fossils. Carbon is essential to all life on Earth, even humans, as it makes up fats and carbohydrates that make up molecules and our DNA, which makes up our bodies.

    My affinity for all cats includes their physical characteristics, their musculature, posture, agility, and their keenly alert eyes. The jaguarundi is a strangely beautiful wildcat that lives in Central and South Americas and parts of Texas. They may look menacing, but they're not aggressive towards humans unless provoked.

    Another unusual piece of information about our world that meteorologist, atmospheric scientist, and owner of Makens Weather, Matt Makens, told us in a previous interview is that there’s an extreme weight of moisture in the air. “Especially within thunderstorms that are miles high and carry large hail...the tremendous amount of upward wind to enable all of that water and ice to stay in the air is mind-blowing to us as observers when we watch those thunderstorms pass through.”

    These experts are also driven by curiosity and still have some mysteries they would like to find out in their field of expertise. For example, Davila is trying to see if the rise and fall of barometric pressure can be related to migraines. While Makens wants to discover the driving forces behind warm and cool phases of a natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific—El Niño and La Niña. Until now, no one was able to exactly pinpoint why they occur.

    There was one village in England called Eyam that during the Black Death in 1665 that chose to completely isolate themselves to stop the plague spreading to other local villages after they received a flea infested bolt of cloth from plague-ridden London. There was no plague in the surrounding area. They left money (coins) in these vinegar baths at the edge of the village and merchants outside would leave food for them at these rocks. 350 people lived in Eyam and once the plague had run it's course only around 80 were left.

    Keeping ourselves informed about our world not only expands our worldview and kindles our curiosity but also helps us stay safe against phenomenon like weather. “I highly recommend people knowing the basics about the weather, especially hazard safety when it comes to storms,” says Davila. “Due to climate change, storms are getting more aggressive, therefore people should be more aware of how to react during nocturnal tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and anything else that may not be typical for their region.”

    Oh, there is a bad thing to that fact: you can't feel if your brain is bleeding or hemorrhaging after an accident until the pressure builds up enough to cause problems and (permanent) damage. Always rush to the hospital if you took a big hit on your skull people!

    Women are more likely to wake during surgery and recoup faster from anesthesia than men. Studies haven't been completed, but some evidence shows male and female redheads tend to wake during surgery as well.

    Speaking from experience, the meds that are forced on you, fracture your mind 🥺. The situation is so dire when it is a "sectioning" or compulsory hold. This happened to me when a bitter family member, falsely reported I was suicidal. The more I denied it, the more they thought I was needing more treatment as they generalised and believed these people are more likely to go through with it. For the record I was never suicidal and I'll never be the same. Be safe out there people ✌🏼

    170 people live in the village and the island supports "populations of Japanese woodpigeons, Pleske's grasshopper warblers, Ijima's leaf-warblers and Izu thrushes". There hasn't been any volcanic activity since the 18th century after two eruptions in 1783 and 1785. The first one forced an evacuation and the second one killed nearly half the villagers.

    Getting that blocked gives you runny eye and a weird painful bump in the side of your nose. Then you have to squeeze the innards of the bump down into the nasal cavity to get the effing eye to stop being a pain. Fun.

    Tear ducts can get blocked or stop working. My mother's kept getting blocked and they would inject saline to clear them. Didn't work for me. I had to have a new tear duct created - it's called a dacryocystorhinostomy. Worked well with a few drawbacks!

    From nose to tail, as the micro-scales face that direction. Try running your finger in the opposite direction and you'll find they're not smooth at all. Although, whilst alive in the ocean, their skin is covered by a mucus membrane which helps them heal quickly from wounds as well as making them more hydrodynamic.

    Babies on an airplane in makeshift beds, part of Operation Babylift during the Vietnam War.

    No "Back" about it, and not babies who lost their parents. This would be one of the baby lifts at the end of the Vietnam War. These are babies that were given up because they likely had Vietnamese mothers and US soldier fathers. These babies were noticeably larger than Vietnamese babies, which put them in danger of being murdered due to not being 'pure' at the end of the war. My BFF was one of these babies, but his adoptive parents went and got him. His parents got a call from the US State Dept and were told that if they wanted a baby, get on this flight at this time and go get it. They arrived at the orphanage and were handed a baby and told this is your baby now, and they flew back. The State Dept. was signing adoption papers on the plane and had birth certificates and citizenship papers for them at the airport when they landed. This is a part of the Vietnam War many people don't understand or know about.

    If you're wondering why the camera melted and the surrounding vegetation is fine, it's because the camera lens magnified the heat and melted that part of the camera. If you look at it, the rest of the camera is mainly okay, but is covered with the lens area melting and probably catching fire.

    It's an unusually large geological formation known as a siderite septarian nodule. The nodules typically form in muddy sediment, when soils dry out over years and develop desiccation cracks, which later fill in with secondary minerals like calcite.

    not a lemon, but a citron or etrog (in hebrew), a different citrus fruit. This si from a variety known as Temani Etrog, which are purebred non grafted citrons Jews from Yemen grew over centuries to create massive ones. Today the only orchards left of this variety are in Israel. In 1949-1953 during the anti-Jewish riots that caused 95% of Yemens jews to flee, these orchards were all torched
