From the report: This report is a product of field and remote research carried out between October 2019 and May 2021. The report’s findings and conclusions are based on first-hand testimonies that Amnesty International gathered from former detainees of the internment camps and other people who were present in Xinjiang after 2017, as well as from an analysis of satellite imagery and data. The report also draws on testimonial evidence and confidential government documents gathered and analysed by journalists, scholars, and other human rights organizations. One hundred twenty-eight people were interviewed for this report: 55 former detainees of internment camps in Xinjiang (39 men and 16 women), 15 other witnesses who lived in or visited Xinjiang since 2017, and 68 family members of people from Xinjiang who are currently missing or detained. The majority of the interviewees were Kazakh, a minority were Uyghurs, and a small number were Kyrgyz or Han Chinese.

On QI (bbc quiz show) they once said the sound you make when you sneeze is cultural/learned, so I wouldn't be surprised the number of sneezes is also somehow cultural.
I think I heard someone on a podcast with seizures triggered by lights and she said wearing sunglasses and in extreme cases closing one eye helped reduce the effects on her a lot.
Those warnings are called auras, and you can have visual or auditory auras warning you of a seizure.
i imagine cremating fetusses is one of the lesser emotionally traumatizing things hospital workers have to deal with every day.
Also, if the fetus is big enough to be (near) viable and the abortion happens for medical reasons or in case of stillbirths, I hope/expect parents are given the option for a proper burial.
I had this during covid and free home workouts videos helped me out a lot. Started with just a yogamat (or towel) doing easy beginner friendly workouts of only 15-30 minutes. No need to go out, noone sees you and there are apartment/small space/downstairs neighbour friendly options. I used the fitnessblender workouts and the sense of accomplishment at the "workout complete" screen is magical.
Why does the GOP need to remove the "illegal imigrants"? They are often hardworking individuals with similar or lower crime rates than the average american. What the GOP and ICE are doing right now is illigal and akin to human trafficking. From the outside looking to the US it looks more and more like they are treating immigrants as germany treated the jews at the start of the second world war.
I agree. I also imagine fly for insects comes from abbreviating "flying bug" or something like that, so also came after the verb to fly.
I think eating something with dislike and fear of finding a piece of meat in your bite might get you to chew more reluctantly and choke more easily. I remember that feeling of almost choking on my food when my parents forced me to eat stuff I didn't want.
I agree, we had the same mandatory courses in the netherlands, although religion was more like religious studies where we learned about all the different religions.
One the one hand I agree that weight control in pets should be easier as owners control most if the food. But I understand these are cats with a disease, so it might be different. Also, very food-obsessed pets might have challenging behavioral issues and even the best owner cannot always prevent some food theft or eating of inedible material by a pet with issues.
