How many people had concentration that high, and how did it get that high?

I would hope it wasn’t just from using Teflon pans every day.

But with a sample size of 30k, they would be unlikely to get people who might regularly come into contact with it in a manufacturing setting.

I prefer cast iron anyway.

And they were there because the energy use of the MRI made them suspect it was a pot farm… in a legal state.

Word.

Granted I’ve never been injured, but I’ve gotten small pieces of bone shards several times throughout my life from shredded chicken type stuff.

I dunno if they refused to pay medical bills because that’d be fucked.

But if you kill a creature, cook and debone it, yeah, occasionally a bit of bone will make it through.

You can still call it boneless, because you knew you were buying meat from a creature that normally has bones and an effort has been made to remove said bones.

I hate to say I side with the Ohio Supreme Court but I think I do.

She is a woman of color who was a cop and prosecutor when recent events call those first two qualities into question with the latter two.

But this is a time when Democrats, I believe, will say that this is a strong candidate with knowledge of the legal system in a time when we need to strike down right-wing supported terrorism and put the enemies of our nation away.

Let’s see how she campaigns, not that she can lose my vote.

The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

But I don’t think it’s really all that accurate. It’s more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.

And we will.

Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.

But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.

But I will say if she doesn’t stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.

To add to this, he had looked up several targets, including Biden. So it was likely as you say, a psychotic break followed by lashing out, rather than a partisan choice.

What SKUmmy behavior.

City of Lost Children, and to a slightly lesser extent, Delicatessen and Amelie, all directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

I’ve yet to see worldbuilding as effortless as it is in the first two movies.

Drop you in blind, explain nothing, get very weird, and tell a fantastic story.

Lawn Darts.

People would actually encourage their children to throw large pointed projectiles in the air around other people.

Didn’t turn out very well. Discontinued for the most part, not so much taboo.

Totally agreed. Sentencing is insane and discretion was taken away from judges by congress long ago.

I’m more pointing out where he is within that system that arguing for reform. I’m not against said reform, but it’s a totally different topic.

There’s no punishment, they’re telling him that if he wants early release and intends to perform, that the content of his performance be reviewed ahead of time.

Because he would never have been able to have that performance AT ALL if still incarcerated.

He is asking for early release and it is being granted with certain restrictions.

People on probation get sent back when they break laws, violating the terms of that probation. This guy hasn’t gotten to probation yet and is more restricted.

I see your point though, and it would be double jeopardy if they fully released him while continuing to punish him in other ways. That just isn’t what’s happening here. He’s trying to get out early.

If he wants special treatment to get out of his sentence early, he has to comply with that program.

We can’t really be arguing about the validity of the charges here, this isn’t a venue where that is entertained but one where the sentence is amended under certain restrictions.

If he wants supervised early release from prison, this doesn’t seem terribly out of line.

It’s not like this is a part of his sentence, it’s a part of him trying to reduce his sentence.

Humanity is a lost cause. Still worth fighting for.

Don’t give anyone ideas.

“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.

Once.

Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We’ve all been lucky!

A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.

But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.

Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.
