I tried one of those alternatives once. It was like chewing on gristle. The flavor went away within seconds. I’d rather eat glue. Hopefully they’ll improve, but I’m not optimistic.

Every few generations? The FDIC paid out for bank failures in 2008!

Ya know, the Kennedy’s haven’t had too much luck with their noggins.

Shot in the head, shot in the head, lobotomy, brain cancer, brain worms, etc.

H5N1 has a 90% to 100% fatality rate in chickens according to the CDC. Either the chickens are killed by farmers before the virus spreads more, or the virus will kill the chickens.

Spirit AeroSystems is not related to Spirit Airlines. Spirit AeroSystems is a Boeing contractor that makes fuselages.

That’s one thing I’m putting some hope in. Tariffs and stupid shit like Worm Boy running our national health infrastructure into the ground benefit no one. Not big companies, not us little guys. I’d hope these big companies will lobby hard to mitigate the stupidity that is bearing down on us.

Literal crosshairs.

You’re right about raising prices, but it will benefit consumers. If you’re making a recipe, you won’t have to buy 2 things instead of one and then figure out what you’re gonna do with a weird fraction of some ingredient.

It’ll be less wasteful in terms of packaging too. That’s better for the environment.

I religion is shit, but mosquitoes (and the myriad of illnesses they transmit) have killed more humans than humans have.

Apparently, in the 70s Exxon had a solar division, but they shut it down in the 80s.

Not only would it be better for the environment for them to continue with solar research, it would have been better for them too. They could’ve had a monopoly on solar power by now. “Bad news everyone! Oil is bad for the environment, but the good news is that we can sell you a solution!”

Of course, it wasn’t immediately profitable (because research costs money), so they shut it down. Absolutely mind numbingly stupid.

Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

Excuse me, but Tennessee is clearly a trapezoid. /s

Wow that article really doesn’t explain what they are.

Red flag laws basically allow the government to temporarily seize weapons from someone if the person is believed to be dangerous. Exact implementations vary by state.

Essentially, if your family member is acting crazy again and you feel threatened, or they’re threatening someone else with a weapon, you can petition a court to remove any weapons they have without having to convict that person of a crime.

Well, since the “U” in UBI stands for “universal”, and since the group of people who received this money were selected because they were very poor, then this is not a UBI experiment. This is just a welfare program.

The trade name of Naloxone is Narcan, for those wondering.

Yeah we do. Corporate goons gonna corporate goon regardless of your job title.

My company was recently acquired by another company. The new company has better pay, but more expensive benefits (health insurance). That would be fine, except we get the more expensive benefits, but without the pay bump. Based on their own numbers in job postings online (Thanks Washington, Colorado, California!), I’m being underpaid by $20,000.

Luckily my local management is on our side and trying to get pay raises, but the Chief Bean Counters have been tight lipped.

I’m not sure how (or if) a union would help in my case, but it probably wouldn’t hurt.

Not really, surprisingly. They mostly only needed basic assisted living stuff (meals were provided). Both needed help with their medications, but my grandpa was mostly independent, only requiring help putting on his shoes and taking showers. My grandma was a psycho wannabe escape artist though. But she didn’t really need someone to watch her all the time. The building was intentionally designed confusingly to prevent escapes.

A few years ago my grandparents were in a memory care facility as their health declined. It cost them $18,000 a month to stay there. Adjusting for inflation that’s like $22,000 a month.
