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.
Potatoes aren't native to Europe. Europeans first discovered the potato after traveling to the Americas.
You don't think it's important to teach how to prevent a prolapse or anal tearing/fissures? Or stress the importance of condom use in anal sex to prevent hepatitis?
We both agree that we shouldn't be teaching sexual positions and how to bring a partner to climax, bit I think we should be teaching kids how to safely have sex so they aren't hurting themselves.
Sounds like you learned a ton about straight sex, especially given that most sex Ed programs only tell students to abstain. You learned something about condoms, which I assume means that you learned how to put one on.
In most of the country, sex Ed is one video about puberty and then in health being told to abstain from sex to avoid pregnancy and STDs with detailed descriptions about the pain and torture of STDs.
It would be superhelpful if sex Ed programs were expanded upon your curriculum to dispel sex myths, like women can't get pregnant if they are on top or take a shower right after. It would also be good to discuss how to prevent harm during vaginal and anal sex.
It was a little under half of registered voters in TX, but that's still not good.
In 2022, there was about 21.8 million in the voting age population, 17.6 million were registered to vote, and only 8.1 cast a ballot.
In 2020 the numbers were 21.6 million voting age population, 17 million registered, and 11.3 million ballots.
If we hope to affect change in the country, people need to get out there and vote! Polls are open in TX for 12 hours for an entire week, but we still have people waiting to vote on the last day when there's a line.
Driving passed polling places and having lived in most of the metro areas of TX, I've never seem or heard of a line more than 15-20 minutes in the 2 weeks of early voting. It would be super beneficial too if we had momentum at the local level to push for some of the polling places to be open until 10 PM as is allowed by law.
It wasn't age locked per se. If you were in Honors English, they assumed you were reading at a higher level and could check out books one grade level higher than you and if you were in on-level English you were not allowed to read above "grade level".
I can understand keeping a 6th grader from checking out a bunch of 1st grade level books, but discouraging kids from pushing themselves was weird
I'm glad you had teachers like that. Not sure why mine were so dead-set on only reading in your grade level. Limiting lower level makes more sense, to encourage students to push themselves more. 6th grade was the last grade in the school, so the only people allowed to read the 7th grade level books were in the 6th grade Honors English class. It's not like the library would run out of books if all 6th graders were allowed to pick out of that section of the library
It also plays into the rhetoric that Christians are being persecuted, like the early church. It makes them feels more connected to their scriptures and further deepens that emotional connection to their religion. Church is a massive endorphin/serotonin trip. Feeling more connected to the early church makes them feel more like Paul is writing directly to them, which pushes more endorphins. The music style that's become popular is pretty trance-like, which releases more endorphins and then when their high on the explosion of endorphins, the pastor comes in and weaponizes that feeling claiming that the gays or trans people or Muslims or the left or whoever they want to villanize are going to take that feeling away and persecute them just as the Romans did to the early church.
From how he's spoken through his campaigns until now, I wouldn't be surprised. He has a tremendous difficulty remembering the topic of a conversation and veers off wildly, often cutting off his own train of thought.
Did you roll the Mint into the manager's office with a note "looks like I'm rolling out of here!"
