Detroit’s abandoned Silverdome stadium
  • Wow. I remember playing old NFL video games and this being the Lions’ stadium. Weird to see it looking like this.

    Ukraine expands conscription, removes medical exemptions for HIV, hepatitis, mental disorders and more
  • No. Not as a deliberate tactic and not nearly to the same extent.

    Ukraine expands conscription, removes medical exemptions for HIV, hepatitis, mental disorders and more
  • Both Wagner and the regular military have been conscripting criminals straight out of prison and sending them right into the meat grinder with little training and/or equipment.

  • If they could read they’d be super shocked by who the Russians are conscripting.

    X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history
  • Is there any information on how he plans to obtain biometric data? My assumption was that, with iPhones for example, all biometric data stays on device encrypted via the Secure Enclave. Is that even something X could access?

    Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice accuses liberal majority of staging a 'coup'
  • Historically this is nothing new. Looking at SCOTUS alone, the Marshall court, the Taney court, and the Warren court are all examples of moments where the courts have moved jurisprudence in substantial ways based on ideology. You want justices that, for the most part, will exercise restraint and seek to interpret laws in good faith. I agree with that. But I think it’s important to know that courts have been ideological since the very beginning.

    What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
  • Yeah. I had to start pinching myself when I began to look at a $400 pen as a “bargain”. Still love my fountain pens, though.

    How does school management work on a personal Chromebook?
  • Teacher here and my school is 1-to-1 with Chromebooks. I doubt there’d be any problems from trying to log in with the new school’s Google account on the old Chromebook. Being able to use it at home would most likely not be a problem.

    Using it at school instead of the new school provided device would depend on the school’s policies. We allow it in most cases, but it might not hurt to check with your school’s media specialist.

    One problem this would create, if your child were at my school, would be with testing software. All of our standardized tests are administered with software that is pushed onto the students’ devices by our IT, and can only be installed on the school’s own managed Chromebooks. So I would again double check with your media specialist, and perhaps be prepared to bring the new Chromebook on standardized testing days (hopefully there aren’t many).

    Hope that helps!

    Green Party candidate Cornel West owes more than half a million dollars in taxes and child support: Records
  • Thank you. I get so frustrated with people who say the two parties are the same. They are not, and all you have to do is compare the policy achievements of the Trump and Biden administrations. There are real consequences to choosing Dem over GOP.

  • I know Mac Allister and Trent can both play in a midfield double pivot, but with Fab gone, we are sorely lacking a top midfielder with destroying and shielding qualities. And I’m not convinced even Lavia is the answer here. I think this is a key deficit when comparing us to other top six teams.

    A book recommendation for etymology enjoyers
  • Really good book! The magic system was refreshing (I read a lot of fantasy), it was well written, and and intelligence of the author shines through.
