    A law was passed two years ago to allow certain types of OTC hearing aids. From the FDA’s website

    To increase the public’s access to hearing aids and improve hearing, the FDA established a new category of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids for adults 18 years of age and older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss that went into effect on October 17, 2022.

    SK was a very different country 75 years ago. The land and economy were decimated by wars. Their government and social structure was extremely authoritarian and patriarchal. It’s no surprise that unwed mothers would be ostracized by society.

    As others have responded, your joint pains are not normal. Yes, I had joint and muscle pains in my 20s, but it was always obvious how I got them and they eventually healed after several days.

    When I was 55, my fingers started swelling and I was unable to perform simple tasks. My doctor ordered a series of blood tests, CBC (Complete Blood Count), CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel), Rheumatoid factor, Lyme disease (there are 2 tests for this), plus others that I can’t recall off the top of my head. I was eventually diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

    You should find a doctor who won’t ignore your symptoms.

    In his attacks on the ‘childless’ left, JD Vance once hyped a plan to give parents more votes

    Since I’m considered less invested in the community if I don’t have children, I shouldn’t have to pay property taxes, since that money is used to fund public schools. And whatever federal portion of the budget that goes toward public education should be given back to me as well.

    Also, does a parent’s extra vote go away when the children reach voting age?

    Edit: The more I think about this, the more I like it. I think you’re on the right track, but we need to take this further. You have a greater stake, therefore you should have a larger tax burden as well. You and your family will use more resources than a single person. Roads wear out faster from more driving and increased weight of vehicle. Larger families require larger police and fire departments. Etc., etc. Good idea.

    Yes, learned now that we could’ve sautéed the garlic in olive oil or butter and then spread that mixture on top of the dough just prior to baking.

    It was edible and we ate half of it but the oily texture became a turn off after awhile.

    I’ll have to look up how to ferment garlic. She minced the garlic and then added it to the dough before the second rise.

    Thanks for the tips.

  • My daughter tried to make garlic focaccia and mixed fresh garlic into the dough instead of topping it. Ended up with an oily thick cracker.

    Agreed. The library was just a dumping ground for apps that I didn’t want on the Home Screen and didn’t care how iOS organized them. Easiest way to get to them was swipe down and search.

    Since you don’t have much space to work with, cut a smaller piece of 2x4, about 4” long, and screw it to the top of the longer piece of wood, at the end. Hammer the top piece to shift the plank.

    Not that big of an issue. Although Intel-based Macs won’t get software updates, they will be fine for many more years. My 2013 iMac is still going strong on its last os update back in 2019.
