Who?

IQ is not a good measurement for intelligence.

You might be interested in a podcast by Jamie Loftus titled My Year in MENSA.

When I was in college I had a full time job at Walmart. At the time, Walmart did not pay you for the first day off sick (even though we had 40 hours of sick time each year). They would pay you for the second day off sick, but only if you had a doctor's note.

Of course, I couldn't afford a doctor and couldn't afford a day off from work unpaid. So I didn't take sick time unless I was dying.

I don't think I was ever healthy at that job. People would just work while they were sick, for the same reasons I did.

Goddamn mainstream media on top of things yet again.

Can we get a Mario Party rom-hack where Luigi comes out at random and just shoots whoever has the most coins?

How long until US tariffs are tied to Russian sanctions?

I'm seriously considering changing my withholding to ensure I owe taxes next year, because I'm not sure if we'll get refunds in a timely manner. Yes, I'll have to make sure to keep some on hand to pay, but I won't have to worry about waiting for a deposit.

Is this the guy that "doesn't have a bank account"?

I've never read Flowers for Algernon.

LOL what does a presidential pardon have to do with Rose getting into the Hall of Fame?

Like a "best practices" type thing? In the US, Federal Regulations cover lighting requirements on passenger car and commercial trucks. FMVSS 108. If your machinery is ever driven on the road they most likely have lights according to this regulation.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-571/subpart-B/section-571.108

There should be a section near the top that covers "incorporated by reference", where they list all the industry standards referenced. A lot of those are available on archive.org. That's probably as close to a "best practices" as you're going to find.

Search by images for FMVSS 108 and you'll find various diagrams showing light location requirements.

NTEA publishes some information about lighting, but I don't know if you have to be a member to get it.

If you're talking about flashing beacons, that's not covered federally, and each state usually just says what color the flashers can or can't be (blue reserved for police, red for emergency vehicles, green for snow plows, etc.)

If you have a more specific question, I might be able to answer.

School mass shootings are a mental health issue.

Rejects increasing funding for school mental health.

Did you post this in every community? This --> <-- close to getting blocked.

We could probably get corpses there by 2035.

I have generally tipped at least 20%. But tipped workers in my state just fought to keep their sub-minimum wage, because republicans convinced them that people would stop tipping if they were paid more. Tipped minimum wage was going up to $6, but now it's only going up to $4.74. I've been tipping too much, and will bring it back down to max 15%.

What is going on with those stories at the bottom of each page? Country road take me home!

There is a Safetycore "placeholder" app on github here

https://github.com/daboynb/Safetycore-placeholder

All it does is create an app with the same name in the app list. This should cause an error if Android tries to reinstall Safetycore.

Maybe we can combine it with "wildfires".

No, they cannot.
