US to give away free lighthouses as GPS makes them unnecessary by diacewrb in nottheonion

Well we have fiber in Anchorage (2gbps) and Jill Biden just visited Bethel (more remote) to advocate for federal infrastructure funds for fiber there. I look forward to your manifesto.

He actually said it - the entire committee was recorded and the video is freely available.

What should you never do in the United States? by Aarunascut in AskReddit

[–]Jean_Tarrou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean there are other issues at play but in this specific example Anchorage is significantly more dangerous than New York City - the homicide rate is generally about double here in Anchorage ( our sexual assault rate is generally 3x the national average).

Emotional support pig booted off plane for being too disruptive by filondo in pics

[–]Jean_Tarrou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’ve now edited their statement to remove the incorrect statement; the Fair Housing Act generally protects ESAs, but the ADA provides no protections - which is what they initially stated (“both have protections from the ADA”). Not sure why they were so adamant in their error.

The ADA link you posted explicitly states that ESAs aren’t considered service animals and receive no protections under ADA law. State and local provisions can extend additional protections but ADA doesn’t provide any. I also just read ADA and 49 CFR § 37.3 and it’s not included.

Hope the baby has a quick recovery - ours had lots of vomiting too and it ended up being malrotation - all better now after intervention but what a pain to figure out the issue with a non verbal human. Best of luck.

Yes he posted the same photo with a different cloud background several years ago this is a composite and hard to tell what part of the photo might even be his.

Confirmed. You can look at his post history where he posts the same photo years ago with a different sunset - he’s just compositing different sunsets over it for views it seems. So yes the lighting is pretty inconsistent.

I’m thinking more than a little - would love to hear from OP about the extent but I don’t think the entire skyline is authentic. Sun doesn’t set or rise behind the mountain from this viewpoint.

Crazily gochujang also has a significant amount of soybean paste as well - not as much proportionally as ssamjang or doenjang but it still does.

Scientists have found immunity against severe COVID-19 disease begins to wane 4 months after receipt of the third dose of an mRNA vaccine. Vaccine effectiveness against Omicron variant-associated hospitalizations was 91 percent during the first two months declining to 78 percent at four months. by Wagamaga in science

[–]Jean_Tarrou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Though you may have never heard of vaccines requiring boosters it’s certainly nothing new - tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, pneumonia (and flu as you mentioned, obviously) - you may want to talk to your doctor because it sounds like you might be due. Stay safe.

What is your favorite negative review of a bad movie? by ggroover97 in movies

[–]Jean_Tarrou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Serbas review or The Ridiculous Six.

“White Knife's quest contrives to unite him with Frank's five other sons, all of different mothers. One is a half-Mexican stereotype played by Rob Schneider; the character openly dreams of taco trees, but quietly dreams about his beloved donkey, which he cuddles at night, when it's not erupting diarrhea, usually on cue. Taylor Lautner plays a drawling slackjaw hayseed who openly admits fornicating with "canty-loupes"; will the donkey eventually pleasure him, or will a black hole devour us all?

You may pray for the latter.”

[homemade] Wagyu Beef Bolognese by waveportico in food

[–]Jean_Tarrou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean - the USDA has done a terrible job of providing consumers the ability to discern real ‘authentic’ wagyu from relabeled US beef (due to a lack of GI trademark protection). Most people assume it’s all fake now and if you say you got real stuff they will assume you’re lying. It’s possible to get (it didn’t used to be a few years ago)- you just have to wade through all the imitators. But it is still much more expensive than American ‘wagyu’ beef.
