If you didn't learn to cook at your mother's knee, it's a skill that has to be learned as an adult. Which makes the mental load of it much higher. Every meal takes more deliberate effort and is less likely to actually be consumed. Which is discouraging.

You want to watch my kids while I do all that prep and stirring?
Considering the cost of babysitting, it would be much cheaper to buy a $10 heat-and-eat from the supermarket.

Edible doesn't mean tasty. Sometimes it's a pile of mush that you can only choke down enough to quell stomach rumbling. Most of it goes to compost, which isn't the best use of resources.
That said, I only order delivery when I'm too sick to cook nor drive but the kids still need to be fooded. Otherwise I'll heat something at home or pick up my own damn carryout.

It also touches on longer trends like demographics. Baby Boomers dying off and Millennials having less children is going to affect housing supply and demand for the next generation.

Not everyone has the energy or knowledge to cook food worth eating.
Can still pick up your own restaurant food, though. It's called takeout for a reason.

Pelvic floor therapy? It can mitigate the muscle reactions that amplify pain if not the hormonal cause.

Reply to comment by sfcnmone in A question on the history of perineal stitches after giving birth by Endorion
I've also read that pushes during natural birth tend to be shorter (less than 10 seconds each) than when coached through an epidural, and it's long pushes that increase the odds of pelvic dysfunction afterwards.
I actually ran that experiment myself during my last birth. While coached, I watched the clock behind my doctor and deliberately did not go over 10 seconds per push. It made a difference!
After a previous birth, I fainted. But after this one, I still had enough energy to be hungry and demolish a cheeseburger from hospital room service. After another previous birth, I had hemmeroids that felt like continuous contractions. But this time when the epidural wore off, I was just sore like I'd overdone squats at the gym.
Were there other factors? Maybe. And I admit that this is anecdotal. But I do believe that shorter pushes made the difference between fainting from exhaustion and screaming in pain, to being merely worn out and sore.
And up until the advent of the epidural (which I love overall, don't get me wrong), shorter pushes were the norm.

I guess I just bristle at the phrase "husband stitch" because it's reductive of a biological system that does not get nearly enough attention in medicine. Sex can hurt for five gagillion reasons after childbirth and more doctors need to recognize that, screen for it, and treat it.

Or maybe the vulva is just so swollen and torn right after birth that stitching it back into place is more of an art than a science.

I wonder if something was lost in the shift from midwifery to male-dominated hospital births. Maybe our ancestors' midwives had knowledge of childbirth and recovery that's been lost to time or is only just being rediscovered.

So the issue was scar tissue. That's what I attributed my pelvic pain to after my first childbirth, until a pelvic floor therapist diagnosed vaginismus instead. She assigned pelvic relaxation exercises that might have been adjacent to massage.
I just think the phrase "husband stitch" is reductive and fails to acknowledge the complexity of pelvic floor dysfunction and treatment.

Husband stitches are an urban legend. If sex hurts after childbearing, it's more likely to be vaginismus or some other pelvic PTSD. Postpartum physical therapy can often resolve it.

And since there was no barrier between states that implemented restrictions and those that did not, covid casualties practically flattened out across the US. So in that context, the economic effect could have been larger than the health effect.

Most people also don't ride roller coasters. Anything that's only open to the healthiest part of the adult population will be a fringe mode of transport.
Just look at bicycling: If there are flat routes away from most car traffic that link residential to commercial districts, the entire family will go out on bicycles for everyday errands, and the roads will be full of bicyclists. But if the only route between home and errand is a multi-lane stroad where any pedestrian or bicyclist takes their life in their own hand? Expect to only see a young single man occasionally.

Not only does this open astronauting to disabled people, but also commercial space flight -- which will have to accommodate the general population before it becomes mainstream. Not just people in peak physical condition (even this disabled astronaut is a para athlete whose vitals are probably top notch), but Grandma with the pace maker and Aunt who's pregnant and Nephew who's a small child.

She doesn't have a prosthetic leg. The prothesis is a metal implant in her natural leg.
Ironically, the disabled man in this post is missing a leg.
