“Seven months? Really? Pfft.” -Centralia-

The real story here is why trucks STILL don’t have guards along the sides of their trailers to prevent this.

They call it “Medicare for All” because... name recognition and association. People like Medicare. They’re not afraid of Medicare the way they are afraid of “Single-Payer Healthcare” or “Socialized Medicine”.

Pelosi encompasses the modern Democratic Party.

In all fairness, many of these statements were not made by Pelosi. They came from the insurance lobby ventriloquist with his hand shoved up her ass.

Milestones of incontrovertible proof matter because eventually even the staunchest skeptics among the few scientists who aren’t already strictly with the program will dry up. We’re hitting the point where scientists from only tangentially-related disciplines are going to become more and more vociferous in their…

Exist with a high level of anxiety literally all the time.

Ugh. I also was disappointed by that line. I’m in the middle of being assessed for medical assistance in dying and it’s.... Not even remotely easy? Like, I was alone with the assessment doctor for over two hours and they specifically ask if you have any financial incentive to seek it, and even with all that the…

Oh honey. 

Yay? :(

Some people with disabilities, especially those that manifest more physically and are more visible, seem to fear that physican-assisted suicide will lead to a ‘duty to die’ and the involuntary euthanasia. I understand that fear, but I think the current physician-assisted suicide laws are written to avoid that, as well…

She also fought against passing physician-assisted suicide laws.

I feel really badly for anyone who thinks any of this is avoidable at this point. We’ve long since passed the point of no return. The best we can hope for now (and it ain’t much) is damage control. Ever notice how this is such an enormous and relevant issue, yet no mainstream media outlet covers it? Shouldn’t this be…

To top it off, extreme heat stunts the growth of staple crops. If the world warms 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a level that’s deemed somewhat safe under the Paris Agreement, U.S. corn production could drop an alarming 18 percent. Other countries could also see double digit drops, increasing the risk of…

Just because *you* don’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. That’s what privilege is. We’ve all got our blindspots. I take things like this as an opportunity to learn, not an opportunity to get offended at others being offended about something I don’t yet fully understand.

I don’t disagree, but since everyone around you already has a camera, and feels entitled to shove it onto your face whenever they feel their citizen journalist duty calls for it, it’s kind of a moot point.

Uh, I never said they were. Do you think the only tablet is the ipad?

A round tipped piece of metal could be used to smash the lens.

It’s the simple fact that consumer tablets have cameras, and it’s cheaper to buy existing tablets than to pay extra to have them redesigned and manufactured without cameras.

Because when you build seatback electronic equipment, you do it once. You use your imagination and get every possible hardware feature included in those units so you dont have to re-PMA a new part, redo RTCA DO-160 environmental testing, do new headstrike ball impact or abuse load testing on the screen, and do new dyna…
