@patrickc Eucerin hydro fluid very good as well. Feela like wearing a regular moisturizer instead of sunscreen.

@Chris_arnade I lived in Estonia for 8 years. The White Nights around the summer solstice are my favorite time of year there. Summers are short, so when there is a bit of sunshine, no one takes it for granted. Bummer about the rain, but I'm sure you were able to make the best of it.

89% of senior citizens support raising taxes on younger workers to maintain their benefits.

The median primary voter is 65.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.

The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.

And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.

Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

0/ Without putting too fine a point on it:

1 - Those obligations do not appear to stop any crime, just create paperwork.

2 - Banks are flagrantly, wildly violating their obligations without their executives being sent to jail, which they should be.

Receipts attached.

@eldritchharpy Self swab HPV tests are an effective screening tool for cervical cancer. So effective in fact other countries have started replacing HPV tests as their primary screening method for cervical cancer. In the US, there are several FDA approved HPV screening test available too.

@whignewtons If more cosmetic procedures become better, cheaper, and more accessible, I definitely can see less use for makeup.

@owroot I'm from the UP and never appreciated just how special it is until I left.

At the population level, unnecessary tests drive up insurance premimums for everyone. The point of screening guidelines is to find what maximizes net benefit while minimizing harm and over-treatment. There are always going to be tradeoffs. I wish insurance covered more bloodwork, but it doesn't!

@Ann1393676 @MaxMoriarty3 @unapproved_mess @_nomadic_soul Idk, just observing the visceral reactions from some women on here over the pap smear debate.

[Kayla Lahti @klahti]

@MaxMoriarty3 @unapproved_mess @Ann1393676 @_nomadic_soul Yes, just like you should go to your GP every year, but skipping the GYN carries much more stigma than skipping a check-up regular check up.

Price stability is not defined, so the Fed in theory could interpret it as flexible inflation targeting (FIT). Which is what they are currently doing. (1/3)

Another example. In Estonia, HPV swab has replaced the pap for cervical cancer screening. You can get the test mailed to you or go in and have a healthcare provider do it. If it's negative, that's it, no further recommendation. Only if it's positive do they recommend you come in for a pap.

[Kayla Lahti @klahti]

@Dr_Karpie @Snowcookie_3 @_celia_bedelia_ You can screen for cervical cancer without seeing a doctor. There's a self-swab HPV tests that's FDA approved. Some countries have already replaced HPV test with pap as primary screening for cervical cancer.
