Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively.

This first part parses to me as “Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified, 1591 of 2664 adult surgeries (59.7%) and 82 of 85 minor child surgeries (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively.” However, the next sentence doesn’t seem to line up with that notion…

Of the 636 breast reductions among men, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender men. Of the 151 breast reductions among boys, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender boys (Figure 2).

To make this section easier to read, I replaced some words and phrases while hopefully keeping the meaning intact.

I kind of feel like this quote is referencing two different data sets, and is missing a segue. The numbers don’t seem to line up with each other any way I poke at them.

15 square meters isn’t the same as 15m×15m, it’d be a little smaller than 4m×4m. Still a big hole.

I was under the impression that the chemicals involved in recycling paper products, combined with the fact that virgin paper is almost entirely sourced from managed, quick-growing tree farms, make paper recycling also undesirable?

Bet she refused to refill some Boomer’s pain meds and they decided to ‘report’ her as revenge.

Jury nullification only helps if you get an actual jury.

Just a rock or a knife, if you wear the animal down enough. You’re probably not biting through the hide though.

Aaron Rodgers, since he turned into the Q-B

More like homicidally stupid.

I’ve camped there, it’s pretty nice!

The ‘S’ in IOT stands for Secure

Why the fuck is it that when a law is found to be unconstitutional, the state(s) are allowed to keep the law on the books but just can’t enforce it? I’d think part of such a decision would include a requirement to repeal the offending law.

Demands?

How about a cap on executive pay? Maybe as some differential vs. the lowest paid employee. Call it 10×. If your lowest paid employee earns $50,000, nobody in the company can earn over $500,000 in total compensation.

A cap on wealth: anything over $1B in gross assets (including stocks, real estate, and other investments) is taxed at 100%. The revenue from this tax should be set aside to fund social safety net and small business development programs.

Now, with a large enough strike, the demands can get even broader:

All political campaigns must be funded by the national government. Each candidate who reaches some required threshold of support gets a grant. Individual donations may be accepted up to a defined cap, and business donations up to a separate cap. Each of these are publicly visible; business donations are individually listed, but individual donations are reported as a lump sum only. Donations must be kept in escrow accounts until the campaign officially accepts them. These caps can be set based on the ‘size’ of the election, given that a national election necessarily requires more resources than a local one.

All elections move to ranked choice.

We definitely whip shitties in WI, too.

For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn’t know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.

CEO?

You don’t even have to passive voice it - a simple “I felt upset” is fully valid without assigning blame.

Have you looked into Ubiquiti equipment? They’re generally pretty solid, and might have everything you need.

Cool concept, but it’s not smart enough yet. It doesn’t connect ‘understand’ to ‘get’, or ‘relate’ to ‘connect’, either of which would have finished the game for me.
