Comically, this didn't work for the Tiger King

Dang. I really loved owyn's drinks. Huel is surprising, especially the lack of response. Now I wonder what their meal replacements test at, I was nearly living off those at one point

He did say his opinion is the only one that matters yesterday.

He's the CEO of the United States, and the shareholders no longer have the ability to oust him

I went back and forth between something I typically listen to everyday like Spiritbox, and something I love but don't listen to all the time like Blank Banshee.

Blank Banshee won, Frozen Flame

This is maybe an odd choice, but I'd make Cher listen to it. She was the first major artist to use autotune (in my memory at least). So maybe she'd be more open to the heavily technology-dependent parts of vaportrap too

I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.

There are a few reasons that I know of: Heavy bodies are more difficult to move, fat bodies take longer to dissect, and large bodies don't always fit on the (usually decades-old) tables.

I think that weight is a disqualification that's been changing in recent years, because even in Europe bodies are starting to trend larger. But it's still something to keep in mind if you live in like Mississippi and think the University of Mississippi will take your 350 pound grandpa when he passes on.

I think it's implying the opposite, that they abused their body so much during life that they no longer qualify to be donated. Weight is one of the major disqualifiers for whole-body donation.

The vast majority of bodies go to medical institutions for surgical training, with a smaller percent going to research

This same facility had an explosion in 2014 that resulted in death. The fact that they didn't learn from that and chose to continue to be reckless is sad and infuriating.

he was 'killed in the most brutal way possible

He was reportedly housed on a wing alongside murderers, killers, rapists and paedophiles, whom he (Watkins) branded "the worst of the worst"

It's fucked up how hard the article goes into trying to garner sympathy for this guy. His crimes are horrific, and he was in that wing because he is the worst of the worst

The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol
