Yeah, plus transportation and other things that make scheduling tricky. It’s a known problem for childhood vaccination, so I think the health agencies did it out of the gate rather than based on uptake data.

There was a period where black neighborhoods were getting the refrigerated and single-dose vaccine while white neighborhoods were getting the (more effective) dry-iced repeat-admin ones.

Considering its important place in the plot, I decided to see who would be the executive in charge of Israel. I found that parliamentary systems make no sense to me and seem to just make shit up as they go along (and that’s from already knowing where Israel’s presidency falls in the power scale, which is often…

I had a more in depth reply, but Firefox crashed (it’s been convinced that it needs to close to finalize an update for over a month, despite being up to date), so brief and dismissive it is.

This was even a major plot point in I think the first book/trade, as a trans man was highly problematic to the cosmology of a cult that came up with religious reasons for the Event.

Aren’t most grocery store runs out west at least that long?

I think they largely blame regulations for China’s market dominance, and there’s some evidence that this would be accurate for the 1970's and ‘80's, when, for example, the EPA had an annual quota on new regulations and so would make up silly ones.

It’s somewhat interesting that this writeup didn’t feature any input from short men, when they seem to be the group who are most contrary to beauty norms, as well as subject to ethnic stereotyping for some backgrounds. While this varies in context (both in time and sector), height is generally treated as desirable and…

I think a lot of that is baked in and is a good lesson that calling in sick for a hangover has natural consequences. This isn’t particularly like holidays, where not recognizing one set opens up a giant equity issue from the religion whose holidays the whole calendar is built around.

90% of mine is about missing cats, which just inane until the cops arrested someone for mutilation.

My impression was that that was referring to the cause of stop, rather than the felony.

Weren’t a lot of famous criminals caught when they were pulled over and then were driving a stolen car, were wanted, had a body, or just plain freaked the fuck out and started shooting? Of course, this is prosecutorial discretion, so I guess an exception would be made if the felony from the stop actually is pulling a…

And, honestly, even the comment on what people are like in the “real world” seems to be confusing reality and Twitter.

Chan, specifically, is also seen as racist because the acting was very stereotyped, particularly the accent. Even the Mr. Moto series made fun of it.

I’m in insurance, and the key concept for tests is “clinical utility,” basically whether the results of a test actually change decision-making (and in a way that improves outcomes, in aggregate). There are a lot of tests, particularly genetic tests of tumors (whose potential malignancy is unknown), is which the action…

They also sat or lay down more often and didn’t wag their tails as much—all non-confrontational behaviors that could have been performed to appease the withholding humans.

I’d be game to see an article about the underlying ideals and assumptions behind multiple international Cinderella adaptations, as the Disney version is very of its time and culture (1950's Christian), notably Mamele, Mr. Cinders, 1947 Russian, Three Wishes for Cinderella (the European equivalent of It’s a Wonderful…

I kind of hope one of the other two notes that they worked their entire lives to get there while she traipsed in after school.

I wonder if it may be somehow related to laws classifying its drivers as full-time employees.
