not long before dropping out in the 90s in a conservative, backwards, rural area – the need to cite sources and do extensive research, and have a willingness to have my ideas challenged, was something I grokked from high school. i don’t expect much from from West Virginia, but I didn’t then either.

you know what, for all builders and contractors: please build things in a way that people don’t die. forgot about that part.

I’m on your side friend. Your goals are true. Sorry I still don’t know the answer.

i’m sorry that I was too aggressive. I still feel that a lot of commenters were throwing shade where it didn’t belong.

!

Nope, that’s on you. Go ahead, cyberpunk007, and explain how to survive.

I’m not endorsing it, but it definitely happens. It’s like this: measure twice. cut once, or more than once. Put door in hole. Fill gaps with whatever caulk gun or whatever. …

Collect rent.

Again, I am not against building to code. “Code” doesn’t exist in much of the world, and sometimes the materials aren’t available to make it possible.

sounds like a door on the side of a trailer or some such. people live and raise kids in a wide variety of environments.

Au contrere. one can simply ignore municipal code. happens often and everywhere, not to mention evrerwhere it doesn’t exist. unless it’s enforced, and that’s the key. also, i’m not against building to code. just realistic.

they asked for advice on a door to protect a child, not a lesson on municipal code. go out there and fix it yourself.

Ya’ll need to calm down.

_ Tennessee only banned the practice of shackling someone while they’re giving birth in 2022, though there are exceptions to the law, like if the incarcerated person “poses an immediate and serious threat.”

_ The number of states that still allow shackling people who are both pregnant and incarcerated is still in the double digits, despite federal law even attempting to curb the practice for those imprisoned on the federal level. “Shackling is a dehumanizing, traumatic experience for the pregnant person and their baby, and this legislation is just part of what it will take to ensure incarcerated, pregnant people have some sense of dignity and respect throughout their pregnancy,” Briana Perry, co-director of Healthy and Free Tennessee, told Jezebel’s last year.

_ While it’s unclear if the incarcerated woman gave birth while shackled, it’s unacceptable that she had to go through that experience alone and without medical assistance. The carceral state continues to be inhumane.

This is inhumane and insane, so wtf is the deal

have you tried it lately? old–reddit combined with the enhancement suite was top of the top. they switched it so the “old” version is bright, and the standard reddit is dark, but lame. Looks like an imitation. AND Reddit still shows up in search results, but like someone wandered through with bleach and blood on their boots, just smashing things.

exactly. Knowledge Fight!

edit; to be clear, this was a reference to a podcast. look it up. I do not support eastman or any of that shit.

I live on the edge of one of the watersheds north of cincinnati. i know of two different rivers who would like you to turn your yard into a rock garden.

nestle should be shut the fuck down

are you not concerned about the water for those crops?

i am concerned that drinkable water could become scarce

better to ask, what can the average family afford now, but it won’t be so accessible in the future?

water.

(where i am now, water costs money but is still doable)

the linked article is quite poorly written, but I also had to look at 4 different stories to find some details

When high school students learn about events such as the 1920 Ocoee massacre, the new rules require that instruction include “acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans.” The massacre is considered the deadliest Election Day violence in US history and, according to several histories of the incident, it started when Moses Norman, a prominent Black landowner in the Ocoee, Florida, community, attempted to cast his ballot and was turned away by White poll workers.
