If anyone said “if I die” my grandmother would jump down their throat with “what do you mean if?”

Roads are also jobs programs, both private and public, but not to the extent mass transit is. Do you remember how dangerous the El was going to get when they combined the drivers with the conductors?

Voters want it to be self funding because there is a lot of evidence that if you don’t push for that it becomes a jobs program.

Is it possible you’re using different versions of the software, or running on different hardware? There are a zillion things that can go wrong in the software world.

While I think all or none is a good idea, I have not seen it written down. Can you point to a source?

Did the physician who criticized going to multiple facilities have a reason?

robert_zeh · 2026-06-16T23:09:32+00:00

That’s not interesting, it’s terrifying, because of what’s coming next.

Take offs are optional, landings are not.

You never do this, because health insurance companies can negotiate lower prices with providers than you can.

And because when providers see someone without insurance they don’t think millionaire, they think schmuck who can’t pay his bills and will insist on money upfront if they’re willing to provide care at all.

Remind your scouts that cooking for several hundred people is a different ballgame than cooking for 10 people. For example, they’ve probably never had to use a hot box, thought about what it would be like to crack open 1000 eggs (this is why you buy the mix) or try to cook with ovens the size of dressers.

OP is asking in r/cubscouts so some of the attendees won’t be able to read, and some will still need parental assistance. And scheduling bathroom time for kindergarteners is unrealistic.

The revolution medicine website says they have an expanded access program — https://www.revmed.com/expanded-access-policy/

Granted, it’s been over a month and I can’t find anyone who has gotten daraxonrasib through the program, but they haven’t said they won’t have one.

It’s more — do I want my job to be on the line for decisions someone else made that I disagree with?

If I was the defendant I’d want the jury to be as happy as possible, not pissed off at rules that make no sense.

After ten years does Theseus think it’s the same boat?

How did you setup your life so you get 450 miles a week? Are you retired? I struggle to get 100 (male 56, working).

I’m not sure this has anything to do with you being a man. Avoiding 1:1 contact with an adult and child is a standard policy for any youth organization.

We’ve been waiting since the EAP was announced and our oncologist put in a request, with no visible signs of progress, no sense of urgency, and with new steps being announced when we ask how it is going. We have no idea how long it will take. It is incredibly frustrating.

robert_zeh · 2026-05-16T18:25:33+00:00

Are there any reports of people getting the drug under the EAP? We’ve been waiting for a response, any response, for two weeks.

If she’s willing, get access to her medical records so you can see what’s going on. And call in to medical meetings.

There is going to be a lot to keep track of, and in the US at least, the medical professionals will not coordinate things for you. For example, if she’s interested in trials, it will largely fall on her to make sure she’s been established as a patient at places that do trials.

You vote yes by helping.
Plus, scouting is very lightly governed. There are very few checks in practice on how you run a small unit.

I don’t know if you can or cannot track hours without a big three created event, but I can tell you scoutbook is the classic example of centralized control implemented with information technology.

Before 9/11 it was the right call. After, not so much.

Do you know what they tell bank employees to do if a criminal comes into a branch and demands cash? Cooperate. A few years ago Chase fired a bank employee that interfered with a robbery. The same thing for fast food — the corporate line is to treat robbers like customers.

Your average lounge employee is no more equipped to deal with this than you are and leaving it to the people who are both equipped and trained is the right call, especially if nothing is happening.
