This oil tycoon brings in millions for Trump, and may set his agenda
Harold Hamm has become Trumpâs point person in raising funds from oil industry donors and relaying to the ex-president what the industry wants.
apparently they didnât spend anything near like what they did in the other races. so yes, and also maybe no.
glad she won for sure.
Why are Republicans so weird about tampons? Theyâre just a hygiene product, no worse than toilet paper if youâre not fucking weird about it
Waitâll they figure out their homes are LOADED with unisex bathrooms.
I am struggling with âforcedâ to have them in their bathrooms. No one is forcing them to use them. Hell, they are forced to have soap and water in there as well, and they certainly donât use that! Boys are pretty gross, honestly.
And from what I understand, the law doesnât force them to put it in the boyâs bathrooms, merely gives them to OPTION to do so⌠
Ah, but âforcedâ sounds so much scarier, which is the whole point, after all.
Yep⌠also, projection. Because they want to force their preferred world on the rest of us and think that weâre trying to do the same. No, dipshits, weâre just trying to make the world suck less!!!
Like⌠come on, dudes!
They are also very handy for packing gunshot woundsâŚ
Too true, but stillâŚ
Apparently thatâs a popular myth but any rationale for leaving them in place is fine with me.
ETA: I think pads might still make for a decent emergency bandage in a pinch though, at least if Better Call Saul can be believed.
That article compares tampons to actual emergency medical kits that arenât readily available but also assumes the use of one tampon instead of many.
I donât think itâs practical for severe wounds but for arterial nicks that wouldnât be life threatening in the presence of immediate emergency care but in the scenario of a school shooting like Uvalde, where care was delayed by hours, a tampon could be life or death.
Iâve personally seen tampons used in hospital settings as a standard intervention for arterial puncture in conjunction with compression. They work better than static compression alone for that purpose, because they expand as they absorb, creating a dynamic compression over time that an improvised compression device like a belt or tape cannot accomplish alone.
Nosebleeds?
Just staring at this chart today (published 8 August 2024)âŚ
⌠because I wanted to get a feel for the electoral college parts of the showdown in the November.
While Iâm at it, I just found out something new about a choice in Virginia:
Wow.
not tampons, but maxi pads were used in medical kits for tour de france racers, according to Bob âBobkeâ Roll, former tdf racer and sportscaster.
in a talk he gave at the Seattle REI one year, long ago, i recall him saying that really severe cases of saddle sores were treated with appropriate salves, but to cushion the area, chunks of the riderâs saddle were cut away and the maxi pad adhered inside his shorts. claimed he was able to finish the race that way!
Bobke had the best bicycle racing stories!
edit: sorry to continue the derail by even further unrelated content. i just realized what topic this was. i will remember to remember.
Arenât sanitary napkins also used for keeping sweat off of models under the hot lights during filming?
not sure about that, but i do know it is not election related.
in my commercial photography for advertising in print, i used tricks to make food more appealing, not models. (and tampons were used in various ways to give particular effects.)
'nuff said.
So RFK Jr is willing to drop out and endorse either Harris or Trump in exchange for receiving a cabinet-level appointment in their administrations. Quite the principled guy, isnât he?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/14/rfk-jr-kamala-harris-cabinet-trump/
Harris refused to meet and her campaign told him to go pound sand. Trumpâs campaign is still in talks with him.
Itâs pretty naive of the guy to assume either candidate wants his endorsement at this point.
