Mom Jailed for Letting 10-Year-Old Walk Alone to Town
  • This is my third time coming across this topic today. I was waiting for additional information, but I wonder if there is any history there. Maybe the sheriff has been feuding with the family for a while and wanted to use this as an opportunity to exert dominance. Maybe they suspect the kid has truly been causing trouble and so are using this as an opportunity to track the kid and see.

    Overall, seems like an overreaction, especially in small town USA.

  • It is not our fight
  • I enjoyed watching that when it was first created! Any word of a 1080p for that one? I'd even take a release of the timestamps so that I could make the edit to my 1080p versions.

  • US Deploys 100 Troops to Israel as Latter Prepares to Attack Iran
  • Massive non sequitur there. Taliban does not have military bases on US soil to fortify with 100 personnel.

    I'm not disagreeing that the US is assisting in genocide. Has been for a while, and the top two projected candidates for US presidency will further perpetuate this.

    But this 100 troop movement is insignificant and is being played up for drama and clicks.

  • US Deploys 100 Troops to Israel as Latter Prepares to Attack Iran
  • First off, as with every time domestic terrorism is discussed, US armed forces cannot carry out hostilities on domestic soil.

    Second off, it's 100 personnel. Barely a blip on the total number of deployable personnel, and it's an air defense group without offensive capabilities.

    Clickbait is clickbait.

  • Your phone
  • Reading through this discussion and considering my own daily life, I find that indeed my utilization of smartphones is limited to primarily other existing advances in technology not directly associated with phones. Primarily Internet. In fact, I might be a bit abnormal because my 8 hours at work, my phone is not directly on my person and rarely used. I do, however, need to utilize it for 2FA authentication ~1-2 times per day. Which, digital personal keys were a thing before phones.

    So yeah, I'd say that smartphones aren't a big advancement, but the combination of multiple other technological advancements.

  • Not wanting to give away too much personal information on the Internet, thanks to my residency wanting "the brand" and social media clout, we were required to have an online presence and bio. But I went to residency in the same location I'm currently practicing, Eastern Midwest.

    I originally applied to regions and Hennepin, would have loved to go there. Due to other external factors, it was better to come here.

    I'm a 2 year post residency EM doc in the Eastern Midwest region. I actually grew up on the west side of Minneapolis! I miss that city, but doubt I'll be moving back there any time soon.

  • Wells Fargo employee found dead in cubicle 4 days after she clocked in: ‘She was just lying on her desk’
  • 15 minutes is just reactionary spitballing to exaggerate.

    Most of my previous "office work" was primarily back end development, and the approach tended to be hands off from my supervisor. So long as work was getting done in a timely fashion, my hours and daily schedule was up to me. I much preferred that approach as opposed to rigid hours and direct management. I suppose different strokes here.
