Probably the May 5th tornado outbreak.

Mostly likely, the conservative majority will affirm the lower court ruling and agree that the president doesn’t have that sort of immunity. But they can do so late enough to kill the case, which is the goal here.

Yeah, and I’m introducing “no more eating at Wendy’s” pricing.

Getting some real Lucy and the football vibes here.

FYI: Looks like Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei (The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady), according to an image search.

Probably thinks Harris would be easier to control once statistics catch up.

Sabolich Prosthetics in Oklahoma. It was actually pretty simple; a higher frequency signal felt “hot” and a lower frequency signal felt “cold”.

Had to ponder this, as at the time I was asked to stay quiet about it. But I never signed anything,it’s unlikely the person I spoke to is even there any more, and it’s been a long time.

It’s not a first. I saw this in local trials in 1994. Physically, in person, not online.

As a sad citizen of Oklahoma, I wish I could upvote you more than once.

Seeing a lot of “only idiot cavemen don’t use debit cards”, but in my case it’s for cash security. If there is theft or fraud that money is not available until the bank decides my report is legitimate. With a credit card that’s not the case. Where I can’t use a credit card I use a check with some extra security info.

Fingers crossed for you!

Agree that child welfare checks should be a thing. Our state does have testing requirements, but no curriculum standards.

I would say it is largely impacted by available resources, but not necessarily limited to government. Some locations have great non-profit organizations dedicated to exactly this sort of thing. I’d say a lot of places have those sorts of resources, but often are hard to find.

Let me present my counter-tale to all the anti-home school comments.

My kid is autistic and the schools are some of the most poorly funded in the country. Despite this the school did an excellent job and had very good staff that did a very good job. But as my child went up in grades the resources available decreased. It was quickly heading for a point where the 1-on-1 time they would need wouldn’t be available. Then the pandemic hit. We were forced into online school when the school closed for a bit. The amount of specialist time available dropped to near-zero.

The school wasn’t prepared for online school and the sites/curriculum they used were all over the place. We supplemented with our own field trips and additional resources. But they otherwise took to it really well and were still learning.

The next school year our school still didn’t have its act together. We found a different online school that actually had good curriculum. They’ve been going to that ever since and it’s gone really well.

BIG CAVEATS: I used to be a public school teacher. My degrees are in that, and I was certified. I work in a different field now, but I still have that background to know adolescent psychology, how to evaluate curriculum, knowledge of what is grade-level appropriate, etc. My partner specialized in language and writing, while I was science, math, and tech. We take great pains to socialize our child with outside activities, and make sure they read and participate in art/creative activities. My partner is stay-at-home with the primary job of seeing to our child’s education. I help but assist in my areas of expertise.

TLDR; Home school IS used as a way for a lot of parents to enable hyper-religious or abusive behavior, but that’s not universal. In some cases it can be the best solution for the child.

I appreciate that the list starts at zero.

A spiritual sequel is War for the Overworld. This thread reminded me to install that again.

60k on mine so far, paid $13k, getting about 38mpg. Pretty happy overall.

Did you just assume my energy level?

Joking aside, this needs to be said more.

Can vouch that it does work and is cool.

Don’t know about rules or policy, but personally the occasional cross-post doesn’t bother me. But if I get a streak of the same post in multiple communities (and/or across servers) I block the user. Had two today where I saw thirteen of the same post in a row, but the same person, across two instances. Blocked.
