It depends on where you are and whether you join a union or not. Labor laws vary by state and by country. Paid lunches and breaks may or may not be part of your employment contract.

I agree on the spoilers thing. Like, remember that bombshell someone dropped four episodes ago and then they never addressed? And that character from last season that left to go investigate on their own?

Why? Because David McCormick is a piece of shit. It is known.

My free Bluebottle account had tags, which are basically labels, but that was like 100 years ago.

Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.

The Speaker said that additional funding can wait until after the election. Telling an obvious lie, and acting like you're the crazy one for doubting him. Gaslight.

The Speaker refused to schedule a vote that would have easily passed both houses and been signed into law. Obstruct.

Conservatives will blame Democrats for the lack of funds they created. Project.

But it's not just the cat. OP wants to track the foods the cat is eating and the allergens in the food, and then look for correlations and trends. You could manage most of that with a spreadsheet, but you'd have to update reference tables every time you add a new entry. OP wants something user friendly.

Pennsylvania is a big state, with a lot of people who depend on fracking for economic stability, and a lot of people who don't. For those who depend on fracking, it's a deal-breaker issue. They will not vote for a politician who supports a ban on fracking. For most of the voters who do support a ban on fracking, it is not a deal-breaker issue. They can still support a politician who supports fracking.

Fracking is bad for the environment, and should at the very least be tightly regulated. Currently, there are very few regulations or restrictions about what chemicals can be pumped into the ground, because the working theory is that the fracking is done at a depth where the chemicals could not rise to the groundwater level. There is also extremely lax enforcement of the existing regulations related to well construction and decommissioning, or waste disposal.

Polls are unreliable, because the sampling is never truly random. There are always too many confounding variables that can distort the data and skew results. But if you take enough polls, and combine the results, you approach something resembling information.

My favorite trivia from that is that the Phil Collins deformed puppet was from a British show mocking Phil Collins. He loved it so much he hired the puppet makers to create puppets for the entire band and used them for this music video.

Once the ballot is cast, there's no way to pull it out. If you could, that would violate the secrecy of the ballot. They would be able to know who anyone voted for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

 

“Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

 

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

 

Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?
