Oh, we have lots of those! There are some drugs that we use to treat high blood pressure work by causing vasodilation.

What's really interesting about this new drug is:

"...iloprost is not only a vasodilator but also reduces oxidative stress, suggesting this dual mechanism of action could help explain its impressive potential as a frostbite treatment."

It not only dilates blood vessels, it also directly treats reperfusion injury, which is really neat.

You know, I should buy a spare. Thanks for the idea

If you insist on ideological purity even when it will obstruct a tangible victory, then YOU have actually let the fascists win.

How can you not see that? Your pure argument fails, their fascist law stands, the fascists win. Or you make an argument that is distasteful, get the law overturned, and give real, tangible benefits to the people who need it, therefore the fascists DID NOT WIN.

I'm not fighting a philosophical war; I'm fighting a REAL one.

In the past, manufacturers seem to "innovate" every few years and reinvent the small form factor phone. I'm waiting, hoping we see that trend breaking again soon.

Overturning a law that hurts women isn't progress? Because the way they're choosing to argue isn't pure enough for you?

Ok, well you wave your magic wand and fix all the problems all at once. I, for one, am not going to hold my breath for that. Better is better.

Ok, when you can win in court with that strategy, go for it.

In the meanwhile, I'll accept the most likely to win a good outcome and get this law overturned. Sorry, I'll forever be realpolitik like that.

She's making a legal case presenting herself as the perfect case scenario. It's just a tactic to present the best argument possible to get the law overturned for everyone, even people who can't pretend to be perfect.

Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

I have cfs not from Covid. It's permanent. There are treatments that are at least good enough to allow me to work full time, but I'll need medication for the rest of my life
