You missed the entire football game again... 👎 And they’re doing it all for the paycheck... ☕

John Richardson4 said:There isn't a single private bank in America because, for whatever reason, the Department of the Treasury just refuses to let them exist. You have a handful of professionals—actual doctors, not just random entrepreneurs—trying to set up their own practices, but the legislature keeps blocking private practice entirely. Professor Labar mentioned that at a place like Mayo Clinic, they could easily manage this; they’ve got the equipment, they'd just need some updated refrigeration units, which would essentially pay for themselves through patient fees anyway. The issue is a lack of legislation... and a complete lack of willpower from the bureaucrats in Washington. Every single doctor that woman reached out to is willing to step up—it's just the incompetent Ministry holding everyone back.
So, the doctors here actually know what they're doing...

Great, so apparently it's a killer business model if you're looking to make money...☕

Larry King37 said:Che... I didn't realize you were such a sensitive soul—easily bruised by a single wrong word... My apologies if I accidentally wounded your feelings...😬

Of course, words cut much deeper than actions ever could.😢 ☕

rustymoose54 said:The reality is, there isn't a single company in America specializing in cell storage—and frankly, this isn't an issue doctors should be expected to tackle themselves.

Here’s the actual issue: doctors are usually the ones lacking the specific expertise for this. It would be much easier to establish legal regulations if the medical community actually showed some interest...☕

rustymoose54 said:it’s always easiest to just blame doctors for being against their patients🙄

True—and in most cases, it's actually the right call☕

Fine, swap out the word "evil" for "crusty" and then answer the question. 🙂
Alright, since you’re the editor of this publication, I’ll accept the correction; at least Larry King37 will be silenced for now!
-Man, I used to get beat up constantly back in elementary school because I was basically ranked 3rd in my class for toughness, and those first two kids bruised me more than once... 😬
-But the only "real fights," if you can even call them that, happened when I messed up as a teenager using some pathetic tactic... 👎 There was this guy I met while on vacation in Florida—someone I was taller and twice as strong as—and I was just trying to "explain" things to him... I didn't have the slightest clue he was gearing up to attack me, and he did it dirty. Basically, I was one or two steps below his level, and while I was busy lecturing him, he just smashed his head into mine with everything he had, knocking me out cold... Then, obviously, he totally embarrassed me since I had some muscle on me... but hey, it was a major lesson. You just always have to be ready... even a cheap shot like a headbutt can take almost anyone down. Like, someone approaches you on a street in NYC to ask for directions or something... But after that experience, I'm careful about keeping my distance from strangers (well, with guys 😁; I might take a closer risk with girls 😳). So yeah, those were the only real scraps I've been in, though honestly, it didn't even hurt until much later—I couldn't even eat or smell anything... but whatever, lesson learned 🧐 ☕

Though, come to think of it, we don't actually know what your language is like. All we know is how your fingers work. 😁

Larry King37 said:Have you ever taken a beating—maybe because of your sharp tongue? How bad was it?

My tongue isn't "sharp"🙂—given how poorly this question is framed, I won't be answering☕

Jamie Fowler2 said:exercises like iron palm, which for a decade... striking makiwara and hitting heavy bags with just the fingers...

I actually do those myself😳—though I never knew they were called concrete fingers. I just always referred to it as iron palm... honestly, if you combine all that training, it’s basically reinforced concrete 😁 ☕

Chris Morgan67 said:Man, listen to how most Americans are pushing back against this. Unfortunately, our laws don't allow it either, so you can only get those birth certificates from abroad.

Personally, I think it's a great move.👍

Look, plenty of "Americans" might resist... but they'll have to adapt if they don't want to be left behind by the rest of the modern world. I'm actually a huge supporter of regulated GM, nanotechnology, biotech, and all that stuff.👍 ☕

Drew Kim3 said:I don't get why our doctors didn't just harvest and preserve the stem cells from that woman involved in the blast...
They won't—our medical establishment would rather go against the rest of the world than cooperate. 🙄

I actually hadn't heard about that case before 👎 ☕

Armbar said:I personally believe you should try everything life throws at you... 🙂 🙂
Rice... 🤣
Anyway, enough with the off-topic stuff...

Of course you should try everything... go ahead and try some Rice 😉 ☕

Jamie Fowler2 said:Nah, more like hitting someone with concrete fingers right where it hurts :P

As far as I know, Hao doesn't actually do that.

What on earth are "concrete fingers" even supposed to be?🤣👍 ☕ 🙏

Armbar said:What, do they suddenly grow beards? 🤣
I've seen some attractive ones at the auto shows, but I have a feeling they’d just "snap" in my hands—they look like little porcelain dolls...😳

Nah, it's more that the gel is carcinogenic (if I recall correctly)... plus, they're fragile and their scent is just pure Rice 😬—seriously, a guy I know who was hooking up with a Chinese woman told me that himself. 🤣 ☕

Jujigatame said:Are there any hot, tall Chinese women with curves, or is that kind of japanka look just a rare thing you see here and there?😁

There are definitely tall, attractive Chinese women🙂 though I haven't really run into much in the way of curves yet...😁 btw, there's a massive craze over there right now for larger chests—there's even this specific gel people rub on themselves that supposedly makes things grow like crazy😁 but apparently, that gel comes with some pretty nasty side effects...😢 ☕

Chris Morgan67 said:Is this about storing stem cells—say, for treating leukemia or things like that?
I know it's pretty widespread globally, but honestly, I don't think we have much going on with it here in America...

If you collect them from, say, umbilical cord blood from your own child, you can store them just in case they're needed later. But you can also get them from adults, or more commonly from embryos... and they're used for all sorts of conditions, not just leukemia. I'm mostly wondering if people here in the States actually have any experience with it, and what the general public opinion is...😕 ☕

So, apparently nobody has a clue 🙄 hey there, my fellow progressives ☕

urbanotter5 said:then what should I even write a book about?

Look, there's already the blog—if you're actually serious about publishing something, just let me know. I'll hand over the copyrights to you, and then you can just turn the blog posts into a book...🙄 ☕
