If you deny women access to abortion related healthcare, they die. Abortion bans ruin lives, and if you really have to protest abortions (which you shouldn't), direct your attention towards politicians, instead of harassing women who need healthcare and are already having a horrible time.

As long as they're not inside my house, (and if they were, I would take them outside) I'd say it's fine. They deserve somewhere nice to live (as long as it isn't. inside my house)

the wet bulb temperature^1^ is just the temperature of a wet thermometer, and varies with humidity and temperature. Wet bulb temp is never higher than the dry bulb temp, so (entertainingly) you're proposing that the meaning of 100° varies wildly and is always lower than the true temperature, effectively making the air temperature always ≥100°, and increases when the air is drier, like some sort of inverse relative humidity.

^1^(I'm aware you probably didn't mean wet bulb temperature here, but let's have fun with the idea) :)

The Māori monarchy dates back to the 19th Century, when different Māori tribes decided to create a unifying figure similar to that of a European monarch in order to try to prevent the widespread loss of land to New Zealand's British colonisers and to preserve Māori culture. The role is largely ceremonial.

AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn't work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I'd rather just work with what I've got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations

the only Oasis song I know is the one people play to be deliberately annoying. I'd much rather be rickrolled

that makes a lot of sense! I'm very grateful to be part of an academic community that seems to value open access, as well of part of a university that pays for access and submission to most of the journals I need to use

I've only ever published in open access journals (partially because I've only got 3 papers out, but also out of preference) is it just prestige that makes people go with pay-to-view journals? or are there other factors?

It has "1.4L" embossed into the glass :)! it's just hard to see in the photos

Hmm I might've been overambitious. Searching "glass water bottle with measurements" gets a few Amazon results but so many of them have "motivational" time labels but no ml markings...

There are quite a few listings for chemistry reagent type containers, too, which could maybe work?

The best thing I've found is this from Dunelm might be what you're after?

they did a chocolate lemon decades ago, but it was with dark chocolate, wasn't popular & got discontinued. I think they should try again but with white chocolate

you can get glass water bottles with millilitre markings on with glass lids
