Best way to prevent the accumulation of unwanted lead macroparticles is to take a lesson from Han Solo and shoot first.

Chuck Schumer currently has less power than Jon Stewart.

Seeing what Chuck Schumer does with power, I’d say this is a good thing.

Does he still fuck Ivanka, or has he moved on to his granddaughter?

We are comprised of tangled chains of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, with a sprinkle of various others. Plastic is slightly more complex chains, developed from the dead and entombed carcasses of ancient flora and fauna. That entombment process adjusts, but doesn’t fundamentally alter the chemistry of those chains.

Yes and no.

If you regularly donate, your PFAS levels will be well below average, so your blood/plasma will actually lower the recipient’s concentrations. Not quite as low as it brings down your concentrations, but still lower than average.

Further, with plasma, they extract the proteins to produce various medications. That process leaves the PFAS with the remaining, depleted plasma, which is then discarded.

But, even if your concentrations are significantly above average, and the recipient receives whole blood/plasma from you, they are only receiving 1 unit from you, adding to 8 or 9 units of their own. Their net blood concentration rises only 1/8th above average as your own concentration.

The lifesaving value of your PFAS-contaminated blood is infinitely higher than the risks posed by your PFAS.

Tl;dr: Don’t discard your blood.

Regular plasma donation is the most effective treatment. Blood donation works, too, but you can only donate blood every two months, versus plasma donations up to twice a week.

Yeah. Because you have to pay people to do things they dont want to do.

I don’t think the Guillotine Party is going to have that problem. I think people will be lining up for the opportunity.

Reminds me of Admiral Patrick

It depends on where the donation center is. I live in a semi-rural college town with virtually zero homeless population. Plasma donation here is a bit different here than it is in the urban hellscape 25 minutes away. The atmosphere here is more “blood drive” than “soup kitchen”.

Take them over from the inside out, replace their wishy-washy moderates with extremists, energize the base, and start winning elections again.

So, yes, almost exactly what you said.

There is no evidence she had a brain.

#GuillotineParty is going to do the same thing to the Democrats that the Tea Party did to the Republicans.

Fuck. That. Shit.

You won. Congratulations.

Freshwater fish can still have mercury. Even farmed fish can have mercury contamination, if their feed is sourced from the wild.

If you won’t eat fish though that sounds more like a you problem.

Nah, I’m perfectly happy with my hot dogs. You’re the one eating broken thermometers and fluorescent lights.

Fish are carnivorous, and mercury is bioaccumulative. So, larger fish tend to have higher concentrations than smaller fish, but pretty much all fish have some level of mercury. There is no “safe” concentration.

But the real problem with your scenario is that I’d prefer hunger pangs over fish, grilled or otherwise.

Parent comment discussed “anxiety”, a condition which has its own associated morbidity and mortality, and should also be considered when evaluating these studies.
