As much as I'd love to see that, the likelihood of it happening is low. The boards move on public opinion and consensus. The public they care about may be only other doctors, but as we've seen since covid, there are plenty of doctors who listened to Ozzy and boarded the crazy train.

Is it just me, or did they pick the worst title they could think of? They mention a few assassinations from history, give their opinion that the amount of them is increasing and why they think so, and... that's it. Wrap it up folks, we've kept people's attention for about a minute.

I think the "focusing on narrow definitions of words" is the part that makes this bullshit. Any judge can interpret as widely or as narrowly as they want. They do it all the time. They just pander to one side of the divide when that's the ruling they want to get to.

The honest answer is because it brings in sponsorship money from local businesses who want to advertise to locals who are going to go to games, it brings in alumni money from any former student who made it big in athletics (and those who have fond memories of athletics), and it brings in money from people who think a particular team/coach is good and thus want to have their kids go there. Yes, school choice is a big enough thing that I know families who have moved so their kid is in a particular school's district.

Image is a big part of that. It's also because many well-meaning people see athletics as a way to help a student get out of being poor, offer financial mobility, etc. So athletics get pushed from many people coming from different angles.

Don't insult the hill billies. These are white-collarish, oh so fancy suburbanites.

Not a clue. They got it from inside of one of the big box stores or grocery stores, so I guess from one of those little kiosks they sometimes have.

Well, he doesn't care that facebook tracks him, and you apparently don't care that ~~youtube~~ sorry, google tracks you.

The faces training was all of the filters. Every single time someone took a video or picture and used filters to add cute moe eyes, or make themselves look like a crab, it was being used to make whichever company was doing it have a better bottom line or to accelerate their facial recognition.

There was a service that only charged if the phone was used that day. A family member of mine would turn on their phone once a month, check messages, make a few calls, and then turn the phone off until the next month. I think they were paying about $2 a month.

I'm pretty sure there was an honorary darwin award given to a man who used a live .22 round to put in place as a fuse in his car. The angle was apparently just right to have the bullet hit both balls.

Let me know, or make a big post if you solve it. I haven't played Bannerlord since switching to Linux and don't want to dive into a quagmire quite yet.

That was the joke. You technically don't even need the ochems if you just ask the professor like I said. We're trying to lead kids down the dark road of the chemistry cult.
