Even just the condition being called "rare" is odd, since that's 12 million women. I have no idea how to do odds on fertilization of two different eggs, but I can't see it as unlikely unless it's a factor of the periods of each set of ovaries being usually offset.

Another recent US case has other info. The "hyperovulation" is the key component here, as normally the ovaries in even someone with two uteruses release one at a time. I read the first article as saying two ovaries per uterus, but that doesn't seem to be the case, it's just a duplication of the uterus and sometimes each ovary connects to its own, leading to these odds.

Carter was a one term President because he tried to do his job under terrible circumstances. Not because he was a loser.

Lucky the cars were helping slow things. That's a hero, jumping in to make the difference. I'm guessing they're probably familiar with large trucks so they knew what had to be done.

I find it difficult to understand what today's Republican party would offer to a black person. (Or any really, but specifically black)

Brings back memories of that one Lost episode with the unstable dynamite.

Also an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

That doesn't seem to be a reclaiming of a word (since it wasn't previously used in a good way), but a reuse of a historically insulting term. I can respect the effort, but I still cringe when hearing it used as an amiable word. I don't know if that makes me racist because I have trouble moving past it being a slur and distasteful. Maybe it's still too new and it's going to take a few generations to become more normalized.

You might be thinking of the Fairness Doctrine, which has to do with the subject matter and not profits.

They analyzed how it would affect their numbers and determined it would turn off too many MAGA viewers and not attract enough other viewers to make up the difference. News for profit was always a bad idea.

The flaw of the question is assuming there is a clear dividing line between species. Evolutionary change is a continuous process. We only have dividing lines where we see differences in long dead ones in the fossil record, or we see enough differences in living ones. The question has no answer, only a long explanation of how that isn't how any of this works.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
