And the time commitment. I have been having to work more time than ever before just to maintain. I would love to have a dog but I know I don’t have the time to properly care for one

That’s my go to but another great lineup would be Slipknot, Mudvayne, and Static X/Drowning Pool.

I think another thing that isn’t being talked about with these layoffs, which would call for more unionization and policy making, is that “AI” is taking over these jobs.

Also when companies merge, there are “redundant” employees. So like the recent Microsoft layoffs, those were going to happen.

Greta is the snub, Margot did a good job but nothing stellar. Ryan Gosling stole every scene he was in.

Edit: and the meme actually ignores that the plot is actually gender neutral. It applies to everyone, not just Barbie.

I know a few schools in my area tried to institute zero tolerance no phones rule and the screaming from parents was loud enough that they gave up. One of the big sticking points was because of school shootings. Another was that schools have been bad about getting kids on the bus, that kids are getting lost or even ending up in bus depots at the end of the day.

Something I’ve thought about recently that I don’t think gets mentioned enough is the raising of speed limits across the board. You have a car centric infrastructure operating along neglected (and sometimes non-existent) pedestrian paths and the speed limits keep going higher.

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

Great book

Won’t vouch for this specific article but one of the articles I read on this said it was about who and what evidence should be presented to the jurors relating to Slack communications. This is typical courtroom stuff that the judge gets to decide and arguments made, and that jurors shouldn’t be aware of if we are to have impartiality.

In the article it states they predict that 80% went into the first line, but the bulk of reinforcements are at the 3rd line

Don’t forget to include gerrymandering

And somehow these CEOs are still talking about pandemic money 3 years later.

Disclaimer: im an IPA drinker. But honestly, I will drink almost any style of beer. Just no bretts for me.

I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I’m just buying from my local breweries. I still grab some from the grocery stores, but I’m done hoping the grocery stores will carry the good stuff.

The local grocery that’s supposed to be the “good guys” (they aren’t) gutted their beer aisle and somehow got rid of almost all the good stuff.

And those who contribute the least to this issue are also likely the ones who want it fixed the most.

The one I’m interested in is the “mini” reactors. They can build them in a fraction of the time. And from what I’ve read they appear to generally be “safer”, but it’s always hard to tell with all the bullshit we all get peddled.

I’m all for renewables and had hoped they’d have been more implemented by now, but here we are…

If you artificially limit the supply of whatever drug, the demand for that drug is also artificially inflated. Companies being companies can then increase the price of the drug based on those figures and make more profit without having to spend time and resources making more of those drugs.

Limiting the manufacture of those drugs also ensures that the market doesn’t get flooded with too much of that drug, keeping a baseline floor price of that drug.

If the pharmaceutical companies were advocating for the patients I would believe that the DEA is being ridiculous, but that’s not what’s happening here. You have pharmaceutical companies not producing those medications to the limits already set.

With the logic of “please daddy afea Don’t let me make more profits!” You would think those pharmaceutical manufacturers would be making more, but they aren’t. So it isn’t the DEA being the DEA in this instance.

I am curious if the limitations are due to lobbying from the manufacturers to create an artificial limit to the supply.

I wouldn’t be surprised based on how these manufacturers have operated in the past.

It’s like everyone forgot about post vietnam stories where kids were getting blown to bits just running around being kids.

The other talking point seems to be the failure rates of the cluster munitions, but left by the wayside is the fact that they can dismantle them and use the charge within to detonate mines.

It’s also very likely that Ukraine will be using the cluster munitions to clear out minefields more than using them as an attacking/defensive weapon
