Is that what Republicans mean when they say “Think of the children?”

Article updated to say that an appeals court has overturned that ruling, so Trump ca still control them for now, unfortunately.

Well, yes to both. It’s also clearly drawn by hand - basically a cartoon.

It’s annual, so it’s just total deaths that year.

I believe it’s referring to the five people who died in 2023 in that submersible that was named “titanic.”

It’s in OP’s article

Yeah, good point. I can’t think of anything I had as a kid that would be drastically improved with modern batteries, but for sure cordless power tools are a big change. I have a cordless electric chainsaw - that wouldn’t have been feasible in the 70s.

Are batteries that much different? I was born in the early 60s, and the batteries my toys used seemed like the same AAA, AA, C, and D batteries we use mostly today. I think the key difference is that a lot of things take a lot less energy than they used to.

He gets shit for drone strikes (which he increased but didn’t start) that had civilian casualties, but no mentions that everyone prior just used larger dumb bombs that had a lot more civilian casualties. Everyone just says “Look at how many drone strikes under Obama!” Here’s the estimated number of middle eastern civilian deaths since 2001:

From this article

Thomas and Alito start with the ruling they want, then backfill some justification for it.

No clue. Not making any claims other than that there’s no known expiration for water that’s not subject to excess heat.

God I miss them. He wasn’t a perfect president, but it seemed like he really tried to do the right thing.

As always, Thomas and Alito have to demonstrate what pieces of crap they are.

Right, and doing that can make it go above levels even before the best buy date. But bottled water that isn’t allowed to get really hot doesn’t have a known expiration.

It’s a pretty low risk unless the bottles get really hot.

There are different types of dates in the US. Few things have expiration dates, which means it can be dangerous (or, for medication, ineffective) after that date. Most things have “best before” dates, which means the company has tested the product that far from its production and found it still met the quality standard.

The problem is that the FDA requires that testing and that every product have such a date. People have mentioned salt, which is inert, having a date, and that’s probably the most ridiculous example, but there are lots of things that have super long shelf lives beyond the best buy dates. Honey, soy sauce, bottled water, and vinegar being examples that come to mind.

A lot of people read the comments without having read the article, so for them here’s the bit you’re taking about:

At one point, attorneys had to admit to Reyes that they had never read articles which were included as evidence. Reyes then said they had “cherry picked” and “egregiously misquoted” studies put forward by the Pentagon on transgender people decreasing the lethality of the military.

But if you read the article, is not what we assumed. The boxes were being shipped from the German embassy in Japan to Argentina, and were marked as personal effects. The Argentinians did a spot check and found the propaganda, so they confiscated it because they were worried it could impact their neutrality. It went to the courts, up to their supreme court, though no one knows what action if any the court took. Obviously the Nazis didn’t get the material back.

Argentina being a safe haven for Nazis didn’t happen until after the war, if I understand things correctly.

Everything also makes sense if viewed from the point of view of benefiting Russia.

I’ve discussed work/careers with a lot of people around your age over the years. Here’s what I end up saying - it’s broader than your specific situation, but includes it:

• If there’s something that you’re so passionate about that you’ll do it as an unpaid hobby, you might as well take a shot at making money from it. If it’s something like art or music, where there’s a huge amount of competition and only a tiny percentage are able to sustain themselves from it, you should have a Plan B, and set yourself some guidelines for long you’ll try it, but you might as well give your a go if it’s a passion.

• If there’s nothing you’re super passionate about, but a number of things you enjoy, you should take some time to look into what a career in each of those things is like. What are the hours, what is the typical pay, etc. Pick the one that fits with a lifestyle that clicks with you.

• If you don’t have anything from either of the two above, do you have any skills or aptitudes that are sellable? For instance, if you’re good at math, you might be a good fit for accounting. If you’re good with your hands, you might consider a trade skill like plumbing or mechanic. You funny have to be passionate about those things to have a good job doing them.

• If you have zero from any of the above, look for a job that wouldn’t suck after some years. A business that’s willing to take untrained people, doesn’t chew them up and spit them out, and that has room for advancement so that you have some possibility of increasing pay over your career.

There are lots of big chain retail stores that will take people right out of high school, but for many of them their model is to train you up quickly, load you up with responsibility, promote you if you work out well, and then within a couple years start cutting your hours to drive you away because they can get a new high school kid for cheaper.

There are lots and lots of jobs and businesses that just suck, and you want to position yourself to not be in them. Most people don’t have something they’ve always wanted to do and are super passionate about. It’s fine to have a job vs a career, but you don’t want to find yourself at 40 slaving away at a shitty job for little pay, wishing you’d gotten a degree in one thing or another so you could be working fewer hours for more pay. And I’m not saying it’s all about money, but lack of a living wage is a real problem for a lot of people.
