That's absolutely horrifying. Imagine being in one of the most vulnerable times of your life and trying to decide your care for yourself, then being told your decision is subject to a committee that you have zero control over. It's a disgusting violation of a person's right to choose the care they want or need.
You might be thinking of the painting Phryne Before the Areopagus. There's a lot of variations on this painting. The general story is a man removes the clothing of a woman (usually being accused of sorcery/impiety) in front of a judge/jury in order to sway their opinion. Or to "prove" that her beauty was from God/gods and not something she bestowed upon herself with sorcery.
The guitar didn't fit me and I couldn't get the chords right, but I still wanted to learn an instrument. I love playing uke because if I screw up then it makes a funny sound which makes me laugh. It's definitely one of the easier instruments to learn, but there's still a lot of nuance in playing that you can explore as your skills improve.
Kala makes a great banjolele! If you want to hear how it sounds, check out "Devil Like You" by the Bridge City Sinners, their lead vocal artist plays one on most of their tracks.
I've been playing uke casually for about five years now and have a regular soprano, a banjolele tenor, an 8-string concert and a regular baritone.
Honestly, just go with the uke that fits in your hand better. You've already played a soprano, so go to a music store and hold a tenor uke in your hands. Strum it a bit. See how it feels. Try the other sizes if they have them. You'll get a feel for the instrument and your hands/mind will tell you if you've got the right one. It's a feeling, and it's different for everyone.
Price is also a factor. Soprano ukes tend to be cheaper, so if you're on the fence about how much you'll play it, get a little inexpensive soprano that feels good to you and play that. That's how I started. I played my soprano for over a year until I learned more and felt more confident investing in higher quality gear and instruments. After that year I realized that it's a new hobby for me, not a hyperfixation, which justified for me spending money on good quality gear/instruments. Enjoy the journey!
Very cool. The article says that some were able to eat up to 200mg of peanuts and some up to 500mg, so it's not like it fixes the allergy necessarily. Still, even if it just buys someone with peanut allergies a better chance to avoid anaphylactic reactions for the smallest amount of peanut dust it'll be worth it. Nut allergies are no joke, and EpiPens are expensive in America.
You would do that at the cost of your own life? That's what it might cost them, either in social ostracization or getting murdered by some extremist/hitman in that politician's pocket.
This would make an excellent carjacking deterrent. Whoever gets in there would need to listen to the whole song before they could start hotwiring the car and leaving. That's time you can use to try and force the carjacker out. Or to have a robust discussion about Toto's effect on popular music.
Watch out, boys, or he'll put us all on mandatory testosterone injections and send us to Iran to die as a distraction from the fact that he's a pedophile who is robbing us blind.
Some parts of it are in my experience. The part where Hunter looks at the carpet in the casino and the way it moves is fairly accurate. So is the unreasoning carelessness of interacting with sober people.

My body is a temple(os)
I'm so depressed I can't even blink.

wake up babe, new folk-punk band name just dropped
IMO I would be surprised if anyone who has read the Culture series doesn't say the Culture. That's where I'll be.
Ugh, I just woke up! Let me have coffee before showing me that.

Reach heaven through violence. Is the game any good? K6BD is an amazing comic but I haven't looked thru any Maleghast books yet.

This guy's got a grip on that red bull like it owes him money.
