Even with high speed rail you’re looking at 30+ hours from Seattle to NYC. And that’s optimistic, ignoring the numerous alpine mountains. No thanks.

Ahh yes, trade 6 hours for a 3 day, $400 train ride to NYC.

Lmfao what a shit suggestion

Scheduled Caste systems. They don’t have a choice.

Turns out they changed the suggestion for that too! Start with blood tests and go from there.

Yes, blood and stool tests are not only just as effective for screening, they are they recommended tests.

No, actually they recommended colorectal screening at 45, which includes blood tests, stool DNA, and stool tests. If those are abnormal, then you go visual.

So basically you don’t need a colonocopy, nor is it recommended, unless something is unusual in the blood/stool or you are high risk.

“The largest 26 of these trusts paid about 2.4 million claims totaling about $10.9 billion up to 2008.”

Sounds like they were made to pay people. The companies are bankrupt…the trusts ensure funds are available to pay people despite the companies being insolvent.

They recently closed a course near me and now they’ve stripped out all the trees and are building a 300 acre development of McMansions. The course was also a home to deer and wild turkey, several stands of nice old hardwoods, some ponds with ducks and geese. Be careful what you wish for.

The toll is definitely intended to collect money. Reduction in congestion is a side effect. MTA is in a huge budget deficit. The tolling (and subsequent bonding) would fund them entirely.

What? You have it backwards. 0 withholdings means the largest amount withheld on your paycheck, and a higher refund end of year.

Except Duolingo regularly releases these numbers. In July 2024 it was reported to be slightly above 9m monthly chinese learners…

So quite significant rise.

“Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better”

Ahh yes, the “i have nothing to hide why do I need privacy” argument.

Do you close your curtains or lower the blinds? Lock your front door? You must be a criminal.

(In the US) No, you are either misuderstanding unemployment or you read wrong information. There is no such elgiblity requirement in any state.

File for unemployment. You have nothing to lose by trying. Get an official decline, and even then, dispute it.

Ah! I didn’t see the linked album! Whoops

This is a potentially real story. Here is photo evidence I found searching for the story -

Edit: rip. Didn’t notice this was linked in OP

I don’t understand your point.

Nobody drinks the ocean. Fluoride is barely active topically. Most humans rarely if at all swim in the ocean.

This topic is extremely sensationalized. It’s impossible to discern the truth anymore. All we know is he’s a murderer, many of his supposed victims are (were) alive, and had he a mansion with a weird floorplan, which was more likely to defraud investors than it was to kill people. Pulitzer got famous from this.
