@JoshFairhurst My fiance let one slip away for a few hundred bucks awhile back. Kicks himself for it as he should cause wow how fun it would be to be able to use something like that
March 25, 1911.Frances Perkins watched 146 women jump from ninth-floor windows. The Triangle Factory doors were locked-owners wanted to prevent "theft." The women had two choices: burn or jump. The sound of
bodies hiing pavement repeated over and over. She stood there and made a promise: never again. Twelve years later, she became first woman in a presidential Cabinet. She built the laws that gave you weekends, overtime pay, Social Security. Every protection you have at work exists because one woman watched people die and spent
54 years making sure it never happened again. Remember her: Frances Perkins.
I recently went to a first aid class and the instructor was showing us how to use a defibrillator. afterwards she asked "is there any questions?" I then asked if nipple piercings would interact with the defibrillator in any way.
she looked at me weird and said "I don't know"
Not exaggerating when I say the future depends on this catching on en masse. Kids, adults. Book clubs, silent reading groups. For the past twenty-five years tech has corroded our attention, intelligence and basic pleasure in living, and books are the key to winning them back.
I was an extremely guilty child, constantly wracked with shame. I'm happy to report that this trait has not translated to my daughter, who just fumbled a large watermelon, watched it explode on the ground, and declared "oh well, it was heavy."
I feel like the real reason isn't for the "protection of kids" that's a guise, its literally because they want us blowing our money here and not in a foreign country.
They cut off us from a global market so we are forced to spend here.
That 6 dollar figure is abouta be 65 now.
