> The American Egg Board has blamed the price rise on an unprecedented outbreak of H5N1, a particularly virulent strain of avian flu that has a near 100% fatality rate among birds. This reduction in supply of egg-laying birds has sent prices soaring. But one farmer-advocacy group accuses major egg producers of gouging prices in a “collusive scheme” aimed at increasing profits.

> The group, called Farm Action, examined publicly available financial data from the egg industry. In a letter calling on the FTC to investigate record prices, Farm Action determined that the avian flu outbreak had only had an “apparently mild impact on the industry”, generally lowering the average size of an egg-laying flock by no more than 6% compared with 2021.

> “Egg prices in the grocer store have on average tripled for consumers since last year,” said Angela Huffman, Farm Action’s co-founder and vice-president. “Dominant egg corporations are blaming inflation and avian flu for price hikes, but if they were only raising prices to cover this cost, why are they raking in fivefold product margins? ”

Could be avian flu. Could be price gouging. It's probably both. Avian flu and inflation gave them reason to increase price, someone somewhere went "nobody knows how much an egg costs, let's really crank the price, we have excuses." And here we are.

A look at what is going on when either one or two eggs (monozygotic or dizygotic) are fertilized during the same pregnancy how this can result in conjoined twins or even a chimera. Also taking a look at the factors which may influence dizygotic twins and what is going on inside the womb. https://youtu.be/r5Guh_VbDnU

Their DNA is identical. This means that anything that is exclusivly influenced by DNA will be the same.

However, there are a lot of things that are influenced by environmental factors. Fingerprints are a good example - identical twins will not have identical fingerprints because fingerprints develop based on environmental stimuli during development. Same with "naughty bits" as this is impacted by diet and exercise.

Using only terms from the question (doubt 5 yos know what source code means)...

Sometimes you can, but only in really simple sites.

Most of the time the code you see when you access the website isn't the real source code. Stuff is often happening that changes the code that you can access. Also when the website talks to other websites, they can tell if it's not talking from where it's supposed to be so they won't talk back.

Alcohol suppresses secretion of antidiuretic hormone, which is what keeps you from pissing away a bunch of your volume.

So by not making ADH, your body pisses way more than usual. That's how alcohol works, that's not a medical emergency.

If you've had symptoms since childhood and it's been worked up, that's also not an emergency.

No it's radically different. If you haven't eaten enough food your body will burn fat for energy. But your body has no alternative hydration source. You can go a month easy without food, you cannot go more than a few days without water and still live. And you cannot go a few hours of being lightly dehydrated without your body's performance falling below optimal

What do I do if I have seemingly had most of the symptoms for diabetes since childhood, but supposedly blood sugars have been fine all the time?

Peeing gets 3x worse when having alcohol, and no not the normal person more fluid in - more fluid out. Non-American, been tested multiple times since childhood.
