Hey, he had a degree in “meats” from Texas A&M. That’s basically an alternative prerequisite for nuclear stockpile maintenance.

Supposedly when he was picked for energy secretary he thought the position would be “symbolic coal baron”. He eventually found out about the nukes part, and to his credit he apparently realized the significance.

I certainly can’t think of a more relevant background than “gas executive who goes on Fox News a lot” for leading the organization responsible for the nations nuclear arsenal.

“It’s a well established fact that being president changes a man. Therefore the Trump who committed the crime is a different person from the Trump who was convicted. The conviction cannot stand.”

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

I fear I’m gonna get a lot of mileage out of that headline over the next 4 years.

Oh don’t worry, the FBI will just be ordered to stop investigating hate crimes. Problem solved!

Those concerns are for unrealistically high doses though. The last sentence of the abstract you linked:

In conclusion, based on the totality of currently available scientific evidence, the present review does not support the presumption that fluoride should be assessed as a human developmental neurotoxicant at the current exposure levels in Europe.

Calling concerns about the safety of fluoridated water “founded” is a bit of a stretch.

It’s the editorial board that makes endorsements. The opinions section is completely separate from the news section - the news reporters don’t contribute to the editorial decisions or endorsements.

Thanks for the gift link!

Also good parents don’t let tweens have unsupervised access to a handgun…

I’m pretty sure that time he altered a hurricane map with a sharpie was in the Oval Office.

Honestly this sounds like user error. From one of the links in the article:

As the journalist and Apple Store staff tested, if you insert the wrong passcode for 1 to 5 times, there will only be red notifications saying the passcode is wrong, and you needn’t wait to give it another try.

For the 6th time you insert a wrong passcode, it will report, “iPhone is disabled, try again in 1 minute”. And the phone will be locked, and you won’t be able to insert passcode again until 1 minute later.

For the 7th time, the iPhone will show, “iPhone is disabled, try again in 5 minutes”.

For the 8th time, the iPhone will be locked for 15 minutes, and for the 9th time, it will be locked for 60 minutes to insert passcode again.

If you insert the wrong passcode for 10th time, the iPhone will be disabled and you will have to connect it to iTunes to unlock.

Apparently if you jailbreak the iPhone the delays aren’t set correctly (or at least that was the case 10 years ago)?

On top of that, the user couldn’t just wipe the phone because they didn’t want to lose a video that wasn’t backed up anywhere else.

”What are the odds?”

Fairly high, apparently:

Overall, Cohasset has a extreme risk of wildfire over the next 30 years.

It sucks but people have to start taking wildfire risk into account when choosing where to live. It’s the same as considering flood risk, earthquake risk, mudslide risk, etc.
