They designated them as twins. How far apart would they have to be for them not to be considered twins? Say someone with the same condition gets a second pregnancy started 3 months later and delivers 3 months apart. would those still be considered twins?
Maybe it just has to do with date of conception? If they were both conceived at the same time but one was born earlier, they are still functionally the same as fraternal twins because they come from the same, er, “batch”?
Really interesting point! Also, what about babies born via IVF that don’t technically share a womb at the same time, but were from the same “batch” of sperm and eggs?
I suspect that it would be impossible to get a 2nd pregnant after a couple of weeks of the first. The baby produces hormones that stop ovulation. The 2nd one would have to be in before that window.
I also suspect that the birth of the 1st would induce the second. She likely didn’t leave labour, the 2nd just took longer, since it was, effectively, induced by the first.
Going back to the broader question, it’s likely that both were inside the mother at the same time. In theory they could be 9 months apart, though that would likely require significant medical effort, and so is effectively impossible.
What a disingenuous comparison. This woman didn’t start an insurrection. This is like if Putin had prevented Prigozhin from running, which he would have been completely in his rights to.
I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where a bunch of idiots can’t see what a traitorous bastard their favorite fat ass bumbling bitch of a candidate is.
Yeah, Arnold isn’t a natural born citizen. He probably wouldn’t be bad, but the last actor to be president fucked the country so bad it should be an excluded class anyway.
Interestingly both Ronny and Arnold were governors of the same state.
Arnold got term limited but its questionable if he could have won a third term even if he could run since his approval rating was in the shitter by the time he left office.
As an out-of-hours island GP, she provides healthcare to some of the most remote communities in the world, all while experiencing “magic moments”, from seeing baby seals and king penguins to the northern lights.
When she works on Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an island chain off the west coast of mainland Scotland, her plane has to land on the beach - “just one of the most incredible experiences of my life”.
On this particular shift she was sitting next to the pilot with a sheep shearer and noisy cat on the way back to being reunited with its owner, but the flight was also used to help a farmer find some missing cows from the air.
“I’ve never been on an island yet where I felt like a bad doctor because generally you have the time and the setup that allows you to deliver great care, and that gets me out of bed in the morning,” said Dr Payne.
“There are many islands where people living there don’t have access to a hospital without getting on a ferry… it’s the amazing general practice they receive that makes the difference.”
Dr Payne will be in the Orkney islands with her family this Christmas and then she her sights on St Helena, a remote volcanic outpost in the South Atlantic Ocean.
The original article contains 1,180 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Reporter: "Mr. Putin, how is it possible that you got 132% of the vote?"
Putin: "It is merely the byproduct of our superiour domestic mathematical sciences. The numbers are simply greater than the ones produced by foreign-made axioms. Do think of all of the great achievements our mathematicians have done over centuries, such as proving the Poincaré conjecture."
Reporter: (gasp) "Your ballot results were tabulated by Grigori Perelman?"
Putin: "No, we looked at his qualifications but we figured he was out of our reach, unfortunately. We had the results tabulated by some other weird mathematician with a massive case of cabin fever. We saved a lot of taxpayer money this way."
You see, only 39% of the population voted. 95% of the people who voted, voted for Putin. So if you extrapolate that out to the entire population, you get 37% + 95% = 132%. With math like that you can’t lose!
I get where the other poster is coming from tho, it sounds like 3500 women alive right now will have this type of pregnancy (1 in a million of 3.5bn women)
However, I think its of the .3% that are born dicavitary, there is THEN a 1 in a million shot to have both uteri fertilized, which means it would only happen once every few generations.
Oh there’s still some stuff around. Seems like the Russian courts have cleared their schedules of all things Navalny. But, there isn’t a lot. Gone Baby Gone.
Not that I want that to drop out of the media circuit but there’s only so much to report on. How many different ways can you say a politician disappeared? Especially when the guy responsible is a dictator that simply won’t answer any questions regarding the person at hand.
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Current polling has major regions in russia polling 113% of the popular vote to putin. Do your research.
you wouldnt believe how staunchly those kind of polls are quoted to prove the popular support of the regime in online(and offline) discussions here and beyond the border
