I was gonna say this was some high-quality bullshit but after this year I just assume RFK Jr. was involved somehow.

Unfortunately it's gonna be the mailroom intern who followed directions from someone else to open all "that other mail", not the person who made the decision.

That would be the job the Congress's Government Accountability Office. Having 2 totally seperate and independent orgs in charge of government efficiency is peak Trump logic.

They get charged as adults in court all the time. Girls of this age can get pregnant and in some places this makes them a legal adult regardless of age. Most places in the US they can get married. It's hard to feel they are full children given all this.

Also, they can't get treatment without parental consent, which is not true of most of the above.

Edit: and I forgot join the military! Statistically far more people regret their military service than their gender care.

A lot of these I remember learning from teachers rather than my parents. Also reinforced by other kids, assorted relatives, etc. Even good parents can't protect you from the rest of society.

Oooo! Do Guaifenesin next! That also has basically no evidence of effectiveness despite being on the market for ages.

What you're describing is called a citation or reference tree and they are used to visualize complex set of references. Web of Science has a nice one, Scopus also has a tree view, I believe. Google Scholar has the information to make one, but doesn't.

Which Pixel do you think failed and why?

Yes and no? You can't buy the food at school with cash. So just opting out of the system isn't possible.

Cash has to be taken to the cafeteria before lunch to be entered into the system so the kids need a special pass to run down and take care of it. Mine are really bad at remembering this and at the start of the year when every family is trying to put cash in, there can be massive delays.

The most interesting boggle about the new system is they didn't include any way to transfer lunch balance between kids in the family and apparently that was a big issue for a lot of families. Seems that many people would give the cash deposit to the oldest kid and then use the old system to redistribute the money to the younger kids in the family later.

Yep! $2.25 for the "convenience" every transaction on the shady new app my school district picked this year. I'm supposed to be grateful they moved to an app this year that processes the payments quickly instead of the 1 school day lag the last app had.

It's kinda more of a dairy and sandwich business with a gas station tacked on. Most of them didn't even sell gas before 2000.

How do you get home internet service without a subscription? I'm down to try it.

 

I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."
