Howdy. Depending on where you live and if you have the ability to get a public library card, the Libby app is pretty great. It can offer recommendations based on books you've read, and keeps a timeline in case you want to return to something you've read in the past. Hope that helps. Cheers!

You might give fry bread a try. There are a lot of recipes available, and it can be topped with either sweet or savory ingedients. I suggest a recipie that uses shortening for frying, but thats what my grandma used to use so I am biased. Cheers!

At very rough estimate, I would guess a 30 gauge needle. They have an outer diameter of .31 mm. A blood cell is about 7 micrometer across. It looks like you can fit more a smidge fewer than 50 cells across the thickest part of this needle. Cheers!

Here is an article with a snippet from the interview referenced. The whole interview is readily available on YouTube if you do a quick search. Hope it helps. https://www.wizmnews.com/2024/08/08/vance-jokes-hes-checking-out-his-future-vp-plane-while-overlapping-with-harris-at-eau-claire-airport/ Cheers!

If you have time for a podcast, ScienceVS has done two episodes on trans people with well researched citations. The more recent episode looks specifically at the issue of bullying and negative trans experience. Hope this helps. Cheers!

According to one urologist named Dudley Danoff, from a MEL Magazine article, it is not something that happens. So, while this is just one doctor's report over a lifetime of patients, this would seem to indicate ejaculation during a prostate exam is exceedingly rare. Hope this helps. Cheers!

I feel the need to stand up for my fellow sea creatures. That could for sure be a squid.

There is a lot of information about "suicide-by-cop", but I cannot find any statistics about the kind of scene depicted. Mostly, the people killed in these interactions have, or act like they have, a weapon in order to provoke a violent response. Do a search for suicide-by-cop statistics and you get lots of interesting results. Cheers.
