I was gonna say this was some high-quality bullshit but after this year I just assume RFK Jr. was involved somehow.

Unfortunately it's gonna be the mailroom intern who followed directions from someone else to open all "that other mail", not the person who made the decision.

That would be the job the Congress's Government Accountability Office. Having 2 totally seperate and independent orgs in charge of government efficiency is peak Trump logic.

They get charged as adults in court all the time. Girls of this age can get pregnant and in some places this makes them a legal adult regardless of age. Most places in the US they can get married. It's hard to feel they are full children given all this.

Also, they can't get treatment without parental consent, which is not true of most of the above.

Edit: and I forgot join the military! Statistically far more people regret their military service than their gender care.

A lot of these I remember learning from teachers rather than my parents. Also reinforced by other kids, assorted relatives, etc. Even good parents can't protect you from the rest of society.

Oooo! Do Guaifenesin next! That also has basically no evidence of effectiveness despite being on the market for ages.

What you're describing is called a citation or reference tree and they are used to visualize complex set of references. Web of Science has a nice one, Scopus also has a tree view, I believe. Google Scholar has the information to make one, but doesn't.

Which Pixel do you think failed and why?

Yes and no? You can't buy the food at school with cash. So just opting out of the system isn't possible.

Cash has to be taken to the cafeteria before lunch to be entered into the system so the kids need a special pass to run down and take care of it. Mine are really bad at remembering this and at the start of the year when every family is trying to put cash in, there can be massive delays.

The most interesting boggle about the new system is they didn't include any way to transfer lunch balance between kids in the family and apparently that was a big issue for a lot of families. Seems that many people would give the cash deposit to the oldest kid and then use the old system to redistribute the money to the younger kids in the family later.

Yep! $2.25 for the "convenience" every transaction on the shady new app my school district picked this year. I'm supposed to be grateful they moved to an app this year that processes the payments quickly instead of the 1 school day lag the last app had.

It's kinda more of a dairy and sandwich business with a gas station tacked on. Most of them didn't even sell gas before 2000.

How do you get home internet service without a subscription? I'm down to try it.

Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there's evidence he did fuck all.

He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn't a surprise.

As someone on the other side of this in just one private company of thousands:

I put out 2-3 job ads a month. Of those 1 will get past interviews to a negotiation phase, one will get stuck with a hiring manager who only wants to interview the perfect candidate, and one will be pulled for budget reasons and held to try again next month because the candidate for the first job asked for a little bit more money. We hire about half of the people who make it to negotiations.

My feeling is it's that no one has any money to spend. Every company I can think of is desperately waiting to get paid so they can pay their own bills. Most contracts with the government were horribly delayed by the shutdowns last year and it's been knock-on effects ever since.

Rabies vaccine is only made for a handful of animals. For example a vaccine is made for domestic sheep but not for domestic goats. Goats and sheep are closely enough related that goats owners have their animals vaccinated using the sheep vaccinations but since they have not been officially tested, you can't say the animals have been vaccinated for rabies in a legal capacity so the petting zoo has a big sign about the rabies risk in goats.

I think this is mostly a case on NY state's sick of people ignoring their wild animal laws and with NYC especially they can't allow for people to just keep whatever animal they want and think it's okay. If Peanuts owner had been licensed as an actual wildlife rehab, it would have been different but wildlife are not pets even when they are friendly.

Philly got some "means well" but mostly we have "having a good damn time" and "doesn't give a fuck". We're not malicious, but we're not sympathetic either.

I refuse to go backward too, but they overuled Roe, which my aunties told me would NEVER happen. So just not going back isn't enough. We have to move forward.

It's called an Apricot Poodle, once in a great while I hear them called butterscotch poodles too.

Also, that's a standard normal size poodle. They were water hunting dogs. It's the little ones that are bred to be tiny that are weird.

Anyone still sprouting this line hasn't listened to a single thing actual progressives and defenders of Palestine have said in recent weeks.

Harris's position is bad but voting for anyone else is so much worse right now. Bernie Sanders is correct, as usual.

That's what the "Personal Communication" citation type is for.
