I'm not sure how old the image is, but I know many states (since this shit only happens in one place, it seems) have made laws requiring rape kits to be paid for by the police, even if you don't want a report. I don't exactly remember how it works, but you do have to report the crime to the police, so the hospital paperwork gets handled, but you don't have to have suffer through the interview of a detective or the DA's office.

Aye, there is a large coalition of farmers that typically remind people their day doesn't typically revolve around the time we arbitrarily set, but the sun's presence or not. They can plan for the store to be open whenever, but working when you can see (and/or it's not too cold/hot) is immutable.

No, think of it from the same point. On standard time, the sun would be setting at, let's say 1642 hours. If on daylight savings time, the sun would be setting at 1742 hours.

So maybe we could do the other thing that scientists have been saying, and make school start later. Obviously just one of the things that would need to be fixed, because school is currently a glorified daycare (because both parents are working, yay) and changing the times would fuck up parents' lives.

Well now the original premise is being changed... Don't take away dragonrider's potential future with tridecanonillion dollars! Sextillion is also a very fun word to say in the halls of power.

Oh, that reminds me. If I book a flight on christmas, maybe I'll get the TSA present.

Slight myth there. It was not the intended purpose, but a sort of happy accident. The original patent stated it was a perfect, never damaging thing. See here and the reply here.

I mean, dragonrider thinks that people will have a billion dollars, and the rich will have a trillion, but dragonrider thinks that the rich will have quadrillions by that point. Maybe dragonrider will even get to start using all those idle game terms like quintillion, or decillion.

Yep, they (almost) literally wrote the book. I found their manual super useful when trying to deal with jerk articles that only post portions of their results. I don't care that it's "bad practice" to post raw data, it needs to become the standard.

You found the fifth? I keep having trouble with my #10s. Sneaky little buggers.
