The “orange red hue” around the sun has been around on other days and it is really pretty. I’ve been able to see more safely by using my phone to take pictures without looking directly at it.

Yup, the Global News report from 2018 seems to assume there’s a noticeable difference in light that would clue you into the location of the sun.

Seriously. The first half of my day yesterday felt like I’d woken up before 6 and the sun hadn’t even poked over the horizon yet, and the second half felt like I’d stayed at work 4 hours past my shift and it’d already settled below the horizon again. My coworker keeps using the phrase “perpetual sunset,” and it’s…

I came here to say this - I legitimately had no idea where it was, and don’t know whether I looked at it

It is a region where almost 8 million of people live and work, almost 2.5% of US population. Not some unusual place on the Moon.

Microwave a damp sponge for one minute on high or soak it in diluted bleach for one minute.

Take that, grandma! (jk)

This is going to be one giant cluster fuck because there is always going to be some parent out there that will send their kid to school knowing full well that their child is sick. Its happened every flu season pre covid so you just know its going to happen this year except it will be with a far more deadly virus. 

My wife is a teacher and is waiting to see how the proposed hybrid concept will work once her district begins implementation.

None.

Yeah I’m fucking terrified. Our kid is 1, but my wife is a Boston Public Schools teacher, and definitely not in one of the more... well funded schools. Many of her students live in multigenerational households and many of their parents work in high-contact jobs, like service, hospitality, and warehouses. I'm scared…

You’re acting responsibly. I am teaching summer school remotely to kids in the building. They pull their masks down all the time so that they don’t cover their noses. They lift their masks up to drink their beverages. They only need to be in a mask for under two hours, and they cannot handle it. Our school isn’t even…

What people keep saying is that kids don’t get the virus, and if they do, it’s not as bad.

In the majority of places there is no hope of opening schools safely. In my area all the counties around me are going 100% online remote to begin the school year, and the others are offering it as an option for parents to choose. Pretending we can keep teachers, school workers, parents and grandparents safe with kids…

Our district just voted last night that the entire first marking period will be online.  They will decide on the remainder of the year as they go.  While I’m not looking forward to having 3 kids at home while working and trying to get them to do their schoolwork, I’m not upset at the decision.  Both for my kids and…

Did you try freezing the Capri Sun in the pouch before crushing it and cutting it open?

I think it’s some sort of limitation with the game. It got really bad after the moonshiner stuff was added, so to me it seems like the game can only have so many live “objects” in it (players, NPC’s, animals, etc) and they basically crowded the animals out of the game. When I’m in a lobby with half the normal amount…

I usually put it in a zip lock bag, flatten it a bit and freeze it. Then you can just break off a bit as you need. This works even better for cans of chipotle in adobo, which I never use a WHOLE can of in a recipe.
