That show is fantastic. I need to rewatch.

The teacher had also known Ty for a single day. I really can’t put too much blame on them, given the law and potential risks that are sadly too real in modern times.

The administration, however, were likely to know of his autism and probably could have handled things in a way that would have deescalated the situation with the cops (that they were required to call).

Not to say they are necessarily to blame (they don’t want to lose their jobs or see jail time), and I wasn’t there, but it seems like the whole thing could have been handled better from top to bottom.

It absolutely boggles my mind. When I was in 5th grade we rode bikes everywhere without anyone caring outside being home in time to eat and do homework. Less than a mile is visible without effort, possibly even if there are hills in the way.

I mean, the premise is funny, but I would never do this in fear of accidentally ruining someone’s day.

Just a quick question. It may have been you, or others, that I have seen writing “kagis” and I can’t seem to find a good definition. What does that mean?

Isn’t Truth Social just a lazy Mastodon fork? I find It odd that it generated more than a handful of jobs.

AutoCAD does need to die, but there absolutely is no real substitute for MasterCAM. I have a windows PC just for running that software, because nothing comes even kinda close. That license is expensive though, holy shit.

If I hadn’t spent 2 decades becoming self sufficient for exactly this reason, I would be SOL. The machining world is absolutely full of bigoted assholes.

The old skullet.

It is always cool when old stories like this can be corroborate. Thanks for sharing.

The only time in recent memory in the US that I’ve had to sign a receipt was at restaurants. I’ve always been under the impression that this is for the tip, authorizing them to charge an additional amount.

Totally unbodacious

No, water is really bad if you have unmedicated GERD. I am fairly certain that if I miss a day of meds, the swift intense heartburn is not psychosomatic. I don’t know why, but anything with carbonation is much less intense.

Ah, the Dashboard Confessional special.

I believe that this, particularly, is why many fast food restaurants are closing way earlier than they did several years ago. No, it isn’t because of the pandemic. It’s because someone (Gen Z) finally got fed up with the bullshit of managers dictating when they can work as opposed to a fixed schedule. No, no one should ever have to bear the burden of “picking up a shift” - that’s just shitty management and has been for around 60 years. We’ve all just bowed our heads and accepted that we need a job. Gen Z said, collectively, “Wait, what?” and the world will be better for it. Under no circumstance should someone ever be forced to work 2nd shift one day and early mornings the next.

I am in NW GA. We occasionally get some fallout from hurricanes here, but I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve seen this much rain, and at time of writing there’s still time before the actual storm(s?) hits.

Thanks for the reminder. Ordered mine.

I have my doubts about this being easy, since the other necessary function of headlights is being seen.

I had to look it up myself.

Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), soy meat, or soya chunks, is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to some meats.

I had never noticed this before and this made me laugh for a solid minute. “Why?” indeed.
