I see this law covers drugs and surgeries. Does "gender-affirming care" include therapy?

No, it's okay. He deleted it and nobody saw it. Absolutely nobody. Any rumors otherwise are just that, rumors.

FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register ( www.govinfo.gov )

This goes into effect September 4, 2024. Employers with existing non-compete agreements must post the notice on page 163 (38504). After that date you may accept a job offer from anybody, including a direct competitor, and not worry about violating any non-compete agreement....

The company I work for lost a MAJOR customer last fall. Management panicked, and rushed everyone to sign a non-compete agreement. Only after getting all the agreements signed did they let everyone know what had happened, and that there would be massive layoffs.

Fucking psychos had just gone through a huge hiring phase. Some new employees had only been there a matter of months before finding out they would lose their job, and wouldn't be able to get a new one in the same industry unless they waited two years.

I've already had this argument with people I work with. It doesn't matter if a non-compete is enforceable or not. They're meant to demoralize and demotivate employees so they stay with the company at low pay. Someone that has just lost their job isn't going to risk a potentially life-destroying lawsuit.

I know they would sue, because the process is the goal, and they have deeper pockets than I do.

Uhh, is 28 Years Later going to be a trilogy? Or is this the final movie capping off the two we already have? We did have two, right? 28 Weeks Later was a thing?

That was already illegal. Now it’s also a crime to keep your gun somewhere a child can get to it.

The ONLY reason this is a law is because Michigan Democrats have the trifecta of House, Senate, and Governorship. Republicans are very salty about having to store their guns safely.

I’ve started buying sub rolls from a local bakery to make sandwiches. Recently I didn’t have any, so I used store-bought sliced bread.

They’re right. The bread is so soft and sweet it was like eating a ham sandwich made with two slices of cake.

NHTSA references several SAE standards in their regulations, but they don’t update the references very often, if ever. Many of the referenced standards date back to versions from the '70s and '80s. Back around 2012 I contacted SAE to find out if they provided a package of standards incorporated by reference in NHTSA regulations. I was told they don’t provide such a package, and they couldn’t even sell me the individual standards I needed because they were “out of date”. My only option through SAE was to buy the latest version.

Shortly afterwards Public.Resource.Org posted the standards, and I copied them. But I thought they had lost their court case.

Nice to find out I was wrong.

It hasn’t been published yet. The Federal Register lags behind real life by a few days. Probably on Friday, or possibly early next week.

Evidence abounds of regulators’ past failures to hold the industry to account for cleanup: hundreds of thousands — potentially millions — of so-called orphan wells that companies have walked away from and left to the government to plug.

This is fucking mind-boggling. START HOLDING CORPORATIONS RESPONSIBLE! Jesus Fucking Christ on a short-stack, this isn’t fucking rocket science.

I’ve heard if you drop a board member down each well before plugging it, that creates a good water-tight seal. Drop a CEO and they get air-tight real fast.

Of course it was Mothman. The crew probably saw him coming, and that’s why they turned off the lights.

One of the arcades in the town I grew up in had one of these, for a short time. I never played it (I was young enough to not be interested) but saw some of the older kids playing it. Pretty soon afterwards my dad forbid (forbade?) me from that arcade, because he heard that’s where they sold “drugs”. I never made the connection until just now. Pissed me off, because that arcade had Robotron.

When people tell me ‘money doesn’t buy happiness’, I tell them ‘it removes a lot of anxiety’.

These people don’t have any anxiety anymore, and believe they can do anything. Most of the time they’re right.
