Depends on where you are.

I’m in the Midwestern United States now, where summer is often pretty frustrating due to the high humidity. But I’m originally from Phoenix, where I really enjoyed summer (in the shade), because I love the feeling of warmth soaking into my bones, and I never got sweaty.

Have you considered calling the locating service, get them to mark the entire yard, and then taking pictures so you know areas are okay to dig in going forward? I’ve been considering doing that for my yard just so I know where I can safely landscape.

On the off chance that you’re actually asking, there have been studies that have shown the regret rate for transitioning is less than 1%.

Here’s an article about a recent study which tracked people up to 23 years post-transition, showing median regret as 0 out of 100.

Now, you might be thinking to yourself “but that’s just one study, with around 200 participants, and the results were so uniform it caused issues with the statistics. Maybe it’s wrong.” Well, here is a meta-analysis of 27 additional studies, with almost 8,000 participants, which also shows regret rates are <1%.

Hope that helps.

I grumbled about ServiceNow for years, and then my company switched to Cherwell.

Now I’d switch back to ServiceNow in a heartbeat.

But hey, this is america get your cash money.

Yes, I'm sure this is actually about the money for her, and not an attempt to ensure the company is punished in some way for her son's death. Grieving parents are famously more concerned with payouts than making sure negligence that killed their children doesn't happen again. /s

The responsibility for a safe working environment is entirely on the company here, and if they have failed to provide it they should be held liable and pay damages.

I'm not currently active on dating apps, but when I last was a couple years ago, it wasn't a problem. I'm findable online, since I have a blog and several professional profiles set up to make it easier to pass HR checks when applying for jobs, so that may have helped. But overall it hasn't been a concern with any of my partners.

He didn't ignore basic gun safety. Firearms on movie sets are not the same as firearms everywhere else. There is supposed to be a dedicated person who is directly responsible for ensuring live ammunition is never, ever brought close to a prop gun. I've posted this elsewhere at one point, but as somebody who has worked on productions with blank-firing guns, the cast and crew are not allowed to inspect, touch, or come near any firearm on set apart from the shortest time required for the scene. The firearms are secured before and after the scene, and there should never, ever be a chance for live ammunition to get inside a prop. The armorer guarantees the gun is safe, and are the ones responsible for it.

The armorer for this production appears to not have followed those protocols, and that's where Baldwin's potential culpability is-- not as an actor who shot somebody, but as a producer who should have had better oversight of the armorer.

Oh absolutely. I work in information security, and I definitely have a good amount of "but that's not how it works!" when I watch it.

But hey, it's entertaining, and it's not like other shows get it much better.

This is basically the plot of Leverage, and part of why it's such a good show.

"It's only 13% and not 100%, so it doesn't count!"

The Supreme Court blocked his attempt last year to forgive debt for another 43 million people, which was set to take effect before repayments started back up. He's trying to help but is being blocked by conservatives who want him to fail so Trump can be reelected.

If you're referring to the Japan Air crash, yes, it was an Airbus hull loss, but the plane literally landed on another plane and nobody (in the landing plane) was seriously injured or killed. That's pretty incredible.

Leverage is one of my favorites. The reboot is pretty good as well.
