Joseph Ladapo was handpicked by the governer during covid. The governor was fully aware of his views, and was chosen on purpose.

His policys from ending school quarantines to sending kids to school with measles, have been widely publicized. He even has been caught altering covid vaccine data to fit his narrative. The CDC even rebuked him in a letter .

Despite being found altering data, he was confirmed for a second term.

I think it depends on if he somehow becomes president or not.

If he doesnt, maga will die with him. If he does, all the rules will have been changed and all he needs to do is appoint next in line. Even if people don't agree with the person he appoints, or the party tries to put someone else in their place, it will be too late.

So, a pointless anecdote:

So a friend attended a funeral in the southern US. They've only ever been to funerals in Hawaii, where everyone typically gives money to help with the costs and whatnot. They ask another attendee if they're supposed to give money here. The other attendee looks horrified. "GOD, NO! What's wrong with you? That is so insulting!"

The patient, who reported eye redness as the only symptom

So, how did they even find this guy? Are they preemptively testing people for the flu? Did the guy go in for pink eye and they just decided it was the flu instead because he was around cows presumed to be infected?

I'm not trying to deny the situation, it's just that there seems to be some missing info, here.

it makes you feel better, the fish has only been documented doing this once in 1997, and it could have been a hoax

Originally I thought the fish only went up there if you peed in the water, but that too seems questionable...

But it does seem to like swimming up women's hooha's. Just don't be a woman and you'll be fine!

I feel like I spent to much time in the sun today...

Why is nobody talking about this?

It would also eliminate the need to pay time and a half overtime on the seventh consecutive day of work for people working at least 40 hours a week,

Am I missing something here. Do these people get paid overtime if they work 7 days in a row, period, as long as they work 40 hours a week? Or does this mean if you work over 40 hours and 7 days in a row, you do not get your overtime pay for the 7th day, even if that puts you over 40 hours?

While i understand many people dont work 7 days in a row, I'm unclear as to why eliminating overtime pay, in any capacity, isn't a bigger part of this story. I understand breaks are important and it's not right to take that away, for various reasons, but to eliminate any form of overtime pay is also a big WTF. Idk, this isn't a thing in my state

And then there's this:

The bill, if it becomes law, would require employers to pay workers while they are eating instead of giving them a break.

Are they supposed to eat their sandwich while working? The break is only as long as the employee is actively eating? If there's no break, how are they eating, at all?

Idk. Not like its unusual for me to be dense, but these things really make no sense to me.

Thank God there are others who have found these stupid captchas. I thought i was being flagged as a boarderline bot when nobody knew what I was talking about and assumed something completely different.

If the money doesn't show, you owe me, owe me, owe.

There's a t shirt of this too

I think the moog is a synthesizer....

This.

You get some gear. It's nice, but heavy...then you realize there's so much lighter stuff out there.

$100/lbs later your congratulating yourself that your base weight is 15lbs until you add food and water, and you realize that your pack still is too heavy. You finally shave off another 2 lbs by buying all new luxury items at $30-$50 a pop, and getting a lighter stove.

Then winter comes, and that 4 season, dyneema tent looks mighty appealing. Not to mention you need a better rated sleeping bag (cause that hammock ain't gonna cut it) and a pad, a better puffy and fleece, crampons, maybe an ice pick, and another stove that works in the cold...

Edit. Damn it, I forgot I need new shoes...even if I wanted to brave it using my summer pair, those trail running shoes are destroyed over the course of 1 season.

Beside the obvious don't reddit, it happens alot in the kbin (web app) and lemmy apps too.

I've taken to stopping to randomly copy my comments to the clipboard, or if it's an extra long response, writing it in a different app and then copy pasting it.

I read somewhere that we are going to set up solar panels in space convert the electcity to radio radios, beam it to earth, then convert it back to electricty.

To anyone that wasn't Nikola tesla, that just sounds insane.
