Comment Re:Actual disability advocate here (Score 1) 237

The point of schooling is that people understand the subject matter and prepare themselves for employment where deadlines exist. I agree that an extra half an hour for a test is not unreasonable, but I will posit that this fails to prepare students for employment in the real world. Employers do not have to reasonably accommodate disabilities that make someone unable to do the job. I literally can't hire someone who takes 50% longer to complete tasks and therefore cannot complete them on time, because the deadlines are the deadlines.

This is not armchair psychology. This is harsh reality. Students need to learn to complete tasks and achieve goals under inflexible time constraints.

Submission + - US Man Dies From Rabies After Receiving Infected Kidney (sciencealert.com) 1

alternative_right writes: A recipient of a kidney transplant presented a medical mystery when he died from rabies

in January 2025 only weeks after his surgery in an Ohio hospital, despite having had no documented contact with the disease.

A close investigation by the CDC revealed the cause: The Michigan man's donor kidney was infected by the deadly virus – only the fourth time rabies has been transmitted via transplanted organs in the US since 1978.

The case, the CDC says, highlights the need for stronger guidance for transplant teams where the donor has a history of exposure to animals.

Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).

Of course, the correct way to do this is to pass a Federal Law regulating AI, and then using the supremacy clause of the Constitution to set aside State laws that conflict with it.

But, Trump has never been one to do things in the Constitutional way. He just things that EOs are "rule by decree" even if they're not.

Tell me you've never been a landlord, without telling me you've never been a landlord.

Landlords LOVE chargers. They attract higher-income renters with better credit ratings, especially if they're at the high end of power output. I installed at least one and sometimes two Autel 50A chargers at all 28 of my rental properties three years ago and have been steadily able to cycle out to higher-paying, lower credit risk tenants.

You have to be careful talking to anti-union MAGAts. To them, "communism" isn't an economic system. It just means "any system of government, economics, or religion we don't like." It doesn't matter to them what China actually is. It only matters that it's not "freedom" or whatever it is MAGAts think they're supporting (because it definitely isn't freedom). Probably Jesus. China doesn't like Jesus, so therefore they're COMMUNISTS!
