Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
It may helpful to think of this in terms of human rights; some rights apply to individuals so even though there may a group of them we’d refer to them as persons e.g. displaced persons. Some rights are held collectively and we would refer to them as a people e.g. Indigenous People of the Amazon.
eta: “Those people” and “you people” are both seen as racist dogwhistles. Your sister was probably laughing because you didn’t intend or get the subtext of your phrasing.
I think the larger issue is that the blood supply is for profit in the US. Everyone is getting exploited, including the people that require the transfusion.
I donate regularly in Canada and give it away for free as does everyone else. I don’t donate plasma because it’s not especially useful with my blood type (AB+ is universal for plasma, O- for other products).
I’m pretty sure it was a quail/dove shoot. It stood out for me because there aren’t many parts of the country where dove hunting is a thing. But Texas? You bet!
Don’t make me tap the overlay.
This is true for every regulated profession. It’s not exceptional.
молодец, товарищ! демократы будут сбиты с толку твоей умной метафорой!
You wouldn’t believe it, but it’s all true. The field is 110 yards long and 65 yards wide. The endzones are deeep. You can run an entire route in the endzone. The players are much smaller because of the need for mobility around the larger field. Would recommend. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_football
Edited: a word.
You should have seen the internet before 1993 lol.
I was a post-doc during this period. I had a mobile phone but data was eyebleedingly expensive, and there wasn’t much to do on mobile. Most companies had a minimal web presence and very little directed towards mobile. I drove across the US in 2009 and even then it was better to use the information preloaded on my Garmin than the mobile web.
Just watch Canadian football bro. 12 players on the field for all 3 downs.
This was a unique point in time when people had cell phones but had to carry a phonebook because there was no mobile internet. Some time between 1992 and 2005?
I’m not a marksman by any means, but shouldn’t the buttstock be in the pocket of his shoulder? It looks like the recoil from the next shot will send that thing flying backwards
Not going to Xitter. Can someone summarize?
Are they any better off with it? I don’t the current rates but it used to be around a few pounds of rice. It’s desperation rates for desperate people.
I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. But learning to tune a plane takes skill and time. People get into woodworking because they want to build things out of wood. The love of adjusting tools comes later.
Neither sex nor drugs were ever discussed…at least not by my parents.
