Comment on Male birth control gel (that is applied to the shoulders) is safe and effective, new trial findings show in ~science

Empathy is a pretty good mechanism for that. We know the negative effects pregnancy has on a woman. Men should have the choice to deal with the bad side effects to take away some of the burden from women without having to get a surgery that you need another to undo.
We’ve established that both pregnancy and the hormonal birth control have negative effects on a woman’s body, if I can take something to prevent both of those things in my wife I’d do it in a heartbeat. I’ll get a vasectomy after we have kids but until then we have to rely on condoms which aren’t perfect. With abortions becoming illegal all over the country it’s more important now than ever to make some progress with male birth control.

Is there any way to integrate an Adblocker at all? I remember Apollo didn’t have this issue when opening links in app.

Comment on Toyota’s bet on hybrids was mocked, then vindicated. Now it’s trying to repeat the trick with an unlikely bet on the combustion engine. in ~transport

You won’t find me ever paying any kind of subscription on car features either.

I know i hit i to start editing, hit escape when I’m done, and type :wq! to save and quit or :q to quit without saving.
Are there more useful things i could be doing?

Playing the story mode in 2023 has been a trip, as it was so ahead of its time in terms of technology. Its strong sales hopefully hint at a revival of the franchise, given the clear demand for it.
I've always loved how the PETs evolved with each generation. Considering how much technology has advanced, it would be fascinating to see their take on smartphones with 5G that can "jack in" anywhere with cell service. Perhaps they might even adopt an AR glasses approach, where everyone can see their Navis in the real world and we could battle each other anywhere.
They could even go all out and have like a companion app for your iPhone that lets you talk to your AI-powered Navi that you could use in place of Siri!

My dad would listen to a lot of '90s dance music in the car growing up so I've been really nostalgic for it since hearing it again.

5/16/23 - AEW Road to Austin - Jericho v Strong + Jay White v Ricky Starks & A Historic Trios Battle
5/30/23 - AEW Road to San Diego - Kris Statlander's Epic Return + the Fallout from Double or Nothing This showcases the new TBS Champion's recovery from a real life ACL injury and her journey to get back in the ring and prove to people she's not injury prone after suffering her 2nd tear at only 27 years old. Statlander was red hot before tearing her ACL and was poised to get the championship. She was able to carry that momentum and beat the now 60-1 Jade Cargill and end her undefeated streak. The video also catches you up on TNT champion Wardlow, The Acclaimed's journey to towards the House of Black's trios titles, Orange Cassidy's outstanding International title run that has been 20+ straight amazing matches, and Bullet Club Gold feuding with Ricky Starks and FTR.

Welcome to the AEW Rampage discussion thread for June 16, 2023! We're coming to you this week from Washington D.C., following an action-packed Dynamite episode. Check out the chaotic and star-studded last 5 minutes here if you're considering giving AEW a shot!
MATCH CARD
Trios Match: United Empire (Will Ospreay, Jeff Cobb & Kyle Fletcher) vs. Best Friends/CHAOS (Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor & Rocky Romero)
The NJPW United Empire faction, led by Will Ospreay, is set to face off against Best Friends/CHAOS this week. Will Rocky, Trent?, and Chuckie T be able to withstand the powerful combination of Ospreay, Jeff Cobb, and Kyle Fletcher? Or will Ospreay's momentum going into Forbidden Door, coupled with the powerhouse Cobb, be enough to secure a victory?
Mixed Tag Team Match: Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Karen Jarrett vs. Mark Briscoe, Papa Briscoe & Aubrey Edwards
A unique mixed tag team match is on the cards, with the trio of Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, and Karen Jarrett squaring off against Mark Briscoe, Papa Briscoe, and AEW Referee Aubrey Edwards, who is making her in-ring debut. Can the Briscoes and Edwards pull off a win against their more seasoned opponents, or will Sonjay Dutt's gang of miscreants interfere to gain the upper hand?
Singles Match: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Bandido
'El Hijo del Don Callis' and Bandido are set for an explosive singles match. Each wrestler brings a unique style to the ring, and it will be a spectacle to see these two top-tier talents clash head-on.
Singles Match: Taya Valkyrie vs. Trish Adora
In a high-stakes singles match, D.C.'s own Trish Adora will face off against Taya Valkyrie. After failing to capture the title from Jade Cargill, Valkyrie seems to have set her sights on the new TBS Champion, Kris Statlander. As she looks to make a statement, this could be an excellent opportunity for Trish to show what she's capable of.

- Venue: Washington D.C.
- Airing On: TNT at 10pm Eastern

Joshua LinkI love the rounded design but much prefer how the current design extends all the way to the left instead of having a big empty margin.I love the rounded design but much prefer how the current design extends all the way to the left instead of having a big empty margin.
Ants don’t know about nuclear bombs or believe in them but they still exist and have unfathomable power that can shape the world they live in. If there are celestial beings out there, I wouldn’t think that a lesser species such as humans can comprehend what they are doing or even recognize the things they see are divine in nature. Our whole understanding of physics and science could be based on something a god is doing like an experiment and we would never know.
