Sometimes I have to remind myself of this. Take for example Bring a Trailer. It is a wordpress site. I know you're rolling your eyes or groaning at the mention of wordpress. It works. It is hugely successful in the niche it is in.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that pharmaceutical companies are profit driven and large swaths of the country have been impacted by pill addictions.
Trust the science- the pharmaceutical industry pushed the idea that Oxy is a less addictive than morphine. State medical boards across the country put their thumbs in their pockets.
But wait there's more! The whole concept of selling SSRIs to people based on another lie that they have a "chemical imbalance" when exercise has proven to be more beneficial.
What else? Oh, mass prescribing stimulants to children.
As a progressive, I agree that Big Pharma's profit motive is a major problem when it comes to public health campaigns like mass vaccination, and that those companies have not remotely answered adequately for many of their past misdeeds.
There are smoother and rougher tile surfaces. When getting tile put in my house I've made something of a point of avoiding the very slickest/smoothest tile.
I feel only rocky texture will be satisfactory after a year. Or is there any chemical that can safely strip the soaps and other fatty stuff from the mineral?
My roughest and lightest tile--which has to be replaced for other reasons after a couple decades in what we call a mudroom in New England--could probably be cleaned but would be a procedure. In general, darker and just somewhat textured tile seems to work pretty well in less-trafficked areas.
There's so much about showers in hotels that I hate a good proportion of the time: super-slick tiles, high step-in tubs, accompanied by no handholds. I've gotten more sensitive to this over time but even when I was much younger, nearly took spills a couple of times.
That's fair. It's one thing to tell people "don't build things in such a way that other people would be put at risk", and quite another to threaten people with punishment for choosing to take risks themselves.
Later in the piece he notoriously declares that “welfare beneficiaries” (a well-known racist dog whistle about Black people) and letting women vote are both impediments to his libertarian dreams of dismantling democratic government.
