It's interesting to try to get into the minds of corporate executives. I wonder how many of them actually thought they'd company was going to last for decades. Or if they were just seeing themselves up a golden parachute for the inevitable.

It would be the same for any self replicating thing. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and prions, but they replicate. I will grant you a single large parasite could do this, but at that point, we're talking about tigers and such as a technicality as well.

None of the things you've listed here are single molecules except for the prion. A single cell, even for simple organisms, is made up of millions of proteins. Viruses come close, but are still made up of the nucleus and the capsid.

No it isn't. Reporting on allegations and other newsworthy topics is literally the joirnalists' jobs. They aren't liable for libel or slander as long as they are reporting in good faith. And almost by definition reporting on something someone else said is in good faith as long as you think that they think it's true.

Even that wouldn't stop a stubborn narcissist.

Yes because a significant number of people who otherwise would have met and formed relationships didn't. If you didn't already live with someone then there was way less chance of being with someone during that time.

I would assume that during 2020 at the start of the pandemic the amount of pregnancies significantly decreased. So the question for me is: is the abortion rate cited the number of total abortions or the number of abortions per pregnancy?

It really depends where you live. Some places are very dusty, especially if it's generally dry and/or windy.

Try to find some closely related topic that you find interest in that he can relate to. Maybe old music or some other electronics topic. Then your son can meet you in the middle.

There are a significant number of classes that can get it. Nature clerics, wizards of course, warlocks can get it permanently. I think even barbarians get access with the right subclass.

This is, quite frankly, a very poor assumption depending on where you are getting your drugs from. For example, Dr. Reddy in India is the equivalent of buying a "Channel" knock off purse from China. It looks like the real thing, it might even somewhat function like the real thing. But it some serious flaws.

European drugs, alternatively, are often literally the exact same drug for cheaper because the EMA is much stricter about pricing. But there are also laws that prevent exporting it from EU countries just as there are laws preventing importing into the US. Because international trade is not open.

Without commenting on the morals of feeling hurt or vindicated or whatever, I thought you might be interested in this Numberphile video that talks about this exact situation:

Many places have a classic resource that is full of free books that are funded by the government called libraries. You should check them out.
