What does a washing dishes hobby entail? Do you have like a personal best or a preferred strategy?

I respectfully disagree. If you want to compare orders of magnitude, you should use a logarithmic scale.

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.

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?

That's.... Just not true. People have benign carcinomas all the time and we don't consider them to "have cancer." It's a bit of a sliding scale but to have cancer generally implies some sort of malignancy or at least the threat of future malignancy.

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.

I learned on a manual when I was 17 but only had that car for maybe 6 months before I got an automatic and haven't had one since. I'm now in my 30s. Was in the USA west coast.

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.

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.

Not sure if it's just a typo or a fun play on words, but just in case, a billionth of a second is is a nanosecond.
