The only reason the market is heading toward EVs is because fuel efficiency regulations and incentives have pushed auto makers to start phasing out their ICE product lines in favor of EVs. The demand was clearly there, but nobody wanted to invest the R&D into providing a product. Market forces aren’t enough to drive change when it’s easier and more profitable for them to just keep the status quo.

Just like the Good Old Days^tm

Unfortunately, the artists don’t have any control over ticket sales. That control belongs to the venue, and the venues almost all belong to Ticketmaster/Live Nation.

Not gonna happen. I would need at least 50 email accounts to compartmentalize everything I do online. Honestly probably a lot more than that. Maintaining that many accounts becomes a security risk in itself.

Training? That’s adorable.

Making your own stock is a great option. It’s cheap and easy but it does take time and planning. I keep a couple jars of Better Than Bouillon in the fridge for quick weeknight dinners where I need some broth/stock. One of chicken and one of beef. It’s cheaper per unit and better most other store bought options. They have bigger jars at Costco, too.

From what I heard there were a lot more problems with the indictment than the illegal appointment. Just for starters, the indictment signed by the jury foreperson was never actually shown to the grand jury or voted on in the form it was signed. Which would mean the indictment was never actually valid. Also, there’s strong evidence that they illegally used privileged information in the grand jury hearing.

This is what you get when you appoint someone who is not qualified for the job.

I don’t disagree with your viewpoint, but I’m not in support of what ICE is doing at all. There are MILLIONS of people in this country who steadfastly believe that anyone arrested by ICE is an illegal alien and, yes, many of them also believe that any force used against such people is justified. Arguing with them from a humanitarian standpoint gets you nowhere. Pointing at stories like this, where they will clearly snatch up anyone on the street they think looks like they don’t belong here is at least some ammunition to engage those peoples’ cognitive dissonance.

Because it highlights the fact that they are stopping and detaining people based on illegal racial profiling. The officers involved literally don’t care about legal status.

Great for you. But we’re not in ancient Greece. Try looking at modern history and the literacy tests that were used to prevent African Americans from voting. Whoever gets to decide what a suitable test for voting rights is gets to decide who can and can’t vote. That’s too much power for anyone to be allowed to weild responsibly.

We don’t test people to see if they are eligible to vote. That never ends the way you think it will.

This was going to be my first question. Does that mean these professions are no longer exempt from overtime rules? Because I’m pretty sure this contradicts how congress defined professional roles.

Technically, it’s toxic to humans. We just metabolize it easier/faster. But the effects of large caffeine doses are not pleasant, and can ultimately be fatal.

I don’t get why everyone is saying the kids should be allowed to steal?

Nobody said that. Nobody even implied it. They said that a teacher should know that leaving FUCKING DRUGS THAT LOOK LIKE CANDY sitting out in plain sight around a bunch of kids is grossly negligent. Just having them on school grounds is illegal. Not to mention they’re pretty sure she was driving while impaired. These are the criminal charges against her. She didn’t force the kids to take drugs, and that’s not what she’s charged with. Whether or not the kids face any legal penalties is irrelevant to any of that information, and nobody understands why you think it’s so important to know.

At worst, the kids committed petty theft. A misdemeanor. For a minor that would mean essentially no serious consequences.

It’s not clear and not really relevant to the story. The story is about the teacher being arrested for breaking multiple laws.

It’s actually in the story.

Detectives say during McGillem’s interview, observations made and information obtained led them to believe that she had operated a vehicle while impaired.

Getting through customs should be fine for as long as your current passport is valid. AFAIK, current passports are not affected. The likely trouble is going to be when you need to get it renewed.

Buzzkill.

Allergies can change over time, and also can become more severe with repeated exposure. You can consult with an allergy specialist to get tested and some advice, but there are a few suggestions here already that should help alleviate symptoms. The biggest one is probably to change and wash your sheets frequently (like at least weekly). And use a wash cycle with hot water.

There are lots of options for allergy medication, too. I have really bad pollen allergies, but I’ve been using Nasacort daily for many years now, and they hardly bother me at all except a little at peak season.

If you think you can manage it, regularly bathing your cat will reduce the amount of dander in his coat. At the very least, try to brush him at least a few times a week with a de-shedding brush, in a different room. I find the Furminator brand brushes work really well on most cat coats.
