Got it from my 21 yo for the first time yesterday. Before my wife or I could groan, my 18yo was ready to smack her. Which the older one deserves - even if only to even the score from when they were preK age.

This firm is led by lawyers I’ve known for a long time. They are the parents of kids who went to school with mine. They’re fantastic and work often throughout the state and country on complex cases. They don’t seem to be on BlueSky, but do post on other sites.

Per the subreddit posted above… People succeeded back 7 generations and there are applications in for up to 10. That was an impressive read - a Cajun who can trace back all ten generations to ancestors forced to leave Acadia.

I’ll second that they’re doing a great job helping people. You can find a great deal of the official documentation on Ancestry or FamilySearch.

No - from what I can tell, that’s a big part of the change. That requirement will only apply if you were born after the law took effect on 12/15/2025.

You’ve totally got an out with it being so late… “the elves had already packed your gifts in the bag” since Christmas Day starts in about 10 hours in Oceania. But you also have the chance to be the awesome parents “it was too late for Santa, but it worked out for us to find it.”

I hear that one or one like it in the ravine all the time. Once I swear it was on my deck it was so loud - but I didn’t want to open the curtain and disturb it (or alert the cats to its presence).

To an extent, it still does require the pacing to be the same. Or at least designed carefully based upon what is taught when by whom.

Our labs are tremendously inefficient and could achieve far more with some adjustments. But no new material is covered in lab without being part of a lecture class. I feel rushed when I don’t flip my classroom - and may be doing so on a dime for the rest of the semester to get it all done.

Lecture was 50min 4x/week, one designated as recitation. That was changed to 3x70 or 2x 105. We have 110min/week in lab 1 and 165min/week in lab 2. Semester is 14 weeks in fall, may be 15 in spring. It’s 10-11 in summer but classes are longer to make up.

Gary Cohen wasn't sold on how the Cubs and Matt Shaw handled his absence to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial.

"I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency, really strikes me as weird."

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

I struggle a lot with this too. I want to be reasonable and considerate but when I delay things for them, they just wait longer.

Yes, always. It’s been their thing for quite a while.

The tired old "Anakin and Padme" meme: Anakin: I did it! I went back in time and saved us from RFK!" Padme: RFK *junior*, right?...

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

And yet if we tried to point out the blatant hypocrisy of this in our Gen Ed classes at a FL public school, college, or university, we’d be excoriated or fired for being political. Forget that it’s exactly the idiocy we’re supposed to be teaching students to look for and avoid.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

There should absolutely be an opening here for a Democratic gubernatorial candidate to run on a public health-based platform to end this madness. Even in Florida. Even if he or she loses, use the race to call national attention to the fact that the GOP wants to kill your kids.

And no one looks good in orange.

If they got 800 medical professionals in Alaska, that’s got to be a significant fraction, right?

Cal’s a good kid. I got to watch him play college ball here in Tallahassee. We’re all super excited to see him find so much success.

They’ve been doing the crosswalk at the FDOT nightly, usually someone cleans it by 8am. Next step should be to video and shame the guy who’s cleaning it. A friend suggested chalking in front of Gov’s mansion, but I think all of the roads there are too busy to do safely.

I would have been moderately unsurprised at that occurring with an Amerikan border crossing given the current state here, but not in the EU. Since I don’t leave here, the EU gets a little too idealized in my mind.

They also don’t let us cross link, so if I have three sections of a course, I have to make sure to confirm that any changes occur in all three sections. 😖

But my admin didn’t like that so now we make a homepage… that directs them to go to the modules page. 🤦🏼‍♂️

It’s insane because she’s done things just as heinous as Epstein did and had no credibility before all of this. I’d ask how stupid people would have to be to believe what she says at this point, but we’ve already seen that they’re much stupider.

Not sure how I didn’t re-follow you when moving over from X, but I’m glad I found you. Be safe, man.

We’ve had to deal with his disgusting ass for years here in Florida. Sorry to see the rest of the country find out what we’ve been enduring.
