How the FUCK do we have a shortfall in critical munitions? 900 Zillion dollar DoD budget, shipped out old munitions to Ukraine to purchase new ones to pad defense contractor pockets, and we somehow cant conduct a mission?

Fun fact, he wrote a book for a board game that was published and was being sold, but got kicked out and the book pulled for being a complete twat.

Also, the book was bad.

This. It says right on the chart, it's changes from preceding month. Reading comprehension goes out the window when the narrative is something people want to hear. That said, I fully expect Dec numbers to be *awful*.

Nailed it, this is a dumb question if you spend half a second thinking about it.

Yeah, I like the work, the talent is clear. I don't even mind the lip syncing. The jarring transitions make my stomach queasy, unfortunately.

I hate Edwin Akufo so much, I have to remind myself that means Sam Richardson is doing a fantastic job and it's not him I hate. The 'Cersie and Joffrey Paradox'.

This is the unfortunate other side of the spectrum, where any criticism of the show gets labeled as prejudiced. Jodie was a great doctor, but her writers were bad, and the messaging was overt to the point of not being good tv.

I'm 100% ok with women in combat (and firefighting) roles, provided they pass the same fitness requirements men have. I might be out of date, but the last I remember, there was an effort for a gender-neutral fitness test, but it was fought and ultimately scrapped.

I'm also 100% ok with a relaxed fitness requirement for desk jobs in the military, but that's a different conversation.

Mass is likely not in the camp of 'can do it safely'. It's had an increasing net migration loss for Mid/High Income and 25-44 yo demos since 2010 (https://www.bostonindicators.org/article-pages/2024/april/domestic-migration).
<br>It's losing about a billion dollars in income tax revenue a year due to this migration (https://pioneerinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/4-24-24-BU-Outmigration-Study.pdf).

It was already facing a yearly budget deficit for the last few years, this is a band-aid.

I'd say this is /hailCorporate material, but there's a zero percent chance it's unwitting.

In your hypothetical, they're being paid a living wage AND getting tips? Because that wouldnt happen, their tips would plummet to near-zero. Whereas currently, most tipped employees I know currently do better than Living wage + 0 tips.

Have no idea why you're getting downvoted, this is my experience as well

The instagram is 7w old, but surely it's longer than that right? People aren't still wearing masks outdoors in 2024 are they?

She was pretty decent in The Newsroom, but you gotta be a fan of the Aaron Sorkin Fast-Talkin Democratic Talking Points trademark style to enjoy it.

This is probably not the win you're looking for - Norway's immigration is overwhelmingly from neighboring countries, with mostly Caucasian populations. In fact, this may actually point to an unconscious bias of you and RuneL, where you saw 'immigration' and assumed something about the people.

Anecdotally, the people I know most vigorously opposed to illegal immigration are the ones who came here the right way.

This is almost certainly what happened. This isnt some bombshell, this is someone just missing that the a company changed hands and the name changed slightly.

The standard PPE-4 physical exam is used in 49 states. The PPE physical evaluation form guides primary care providers in conducting a system-based examination to include cardiovascular, nervous system, general medical conditions, respiratory system, gastrointestinal and urogenital, dermatological, musculoskeletal and mental health. It's a complete exam designed to both make sports safer, and screen kids for any problems gone undetected so far.

Kansas passed a law to try and solve the 'trans girls in girls sports' issue, which is complex and hasnt had a good solution that I've seen. It's being reduced to 'republicans want to inspect kids genitals' because that gets clicks, ignoring the fact that kids have already been getting physicals for sports for decades.
