Did you roll the Mint into the manager's office with a note "looks like I'm rolling out of here!"

This technology has been in place in public spaces like airports for at least a decade. They claimed it was to fight terrorism by scanning and collecting models of everyone's face looking for known terrorists. They said that they could identify the terrorists because even with a disguise, you can't alter the shape of your facial bone structure.

Was there ever a point in the last 80 years when they actually felt welcome? The GOP dove headfirst into Christian Nationalism after WWII.

I came across a company called Flower Turbines, they sell tulip-shaped wind turbines. They look nice and hopefully would do well on the energy front. They claim that their turbines start producing energy with just a touch over 1 mph winds.

It looks like it would be a cute way to generate clean energy.

That's interesting, I didn't realize that a photograph counted as part of the directory information. I figured that was why photos are included in the list of items on the parent consent forms sent out every year.

It was my understanding (from admin, teacher professional orgs, and teacher unions) that pictures on websites and social media need consent to be posted. So we were told that any student without a consent form had to be edited out or blurred on any picture posted anywhere.

Which country are you talking about? Us federal law required consent to opt-in. As far as I know, FERPA hasn't received an update concerning that.

That's true while on the street or in a public park. That does not apply to students at a school function. There are laws protecting students in such a situation, which is why in the US, parents have to give permission for images of students to be published.

In schools, they normally have parents fill out a form giving consent to use a student's picture. There should be a way to revoke that consent.

Cruz seems to be hopeful that segregation (oops I mean school choice) will be allowed back in schools in the next couple years

That's not true in the US. We have Good Samaritan laws that prevent responders from being sued for helping a victim, so long as the victim gave consent (or there was immediately consent due to unconsciousness).

The only falsehood about their statement is the implication that all prisons are for-profit.

For example, Louisisna has state and privately owned prisons. Many, if not all, of Louisiana's private for-profit prisons are owned by members of law enforcement. This gives them incentive to fill the cells as much as possible. The rules for these prisons are much more lax than the state-run prisons. While the state prisons have libraries and vocational training, the Private prisons usually don't. At least that's my understanding from a few years back.

Louisiana is also not the only state with private prisons, however most, if not all states, have public prisons as well.

Couldn't you just ask ChapGPT whether it wrote something specific?
