“No one is teaching your kids to be gay,” she told the room. “Sometimes, they just are gay. I have math to teach. I literally don’t have time to teach your kids to be gay.”
Holy shit: Causal evidence that the Shingles vaccine prevents a significant fraction of Alzheimer's cases. So 1, vaccines are a god damned miracle get your ass vaccinated, and 2 the implication that Alzheimer's disease is a preventable byproduct of viral infection is tectonic.

@gemeenteamsterdam There's a sharp bit of concrete sticking up in the fietspad at De Clercqstraat and Da Costakade. We couldn't avoid it in time and it gave us a flat ☹️ I realize this is a temporary lane, but maybe this hazard could be smoothed over or ground down?
Here I am, once again in an awkward situation. I'm trying to understand the readout from the unix word count utility, but I seem to be missing the man page because nothing comes up on my desktop.
And I almost typed "man wc" into duckduckgo.
But I stopped myself in time. I don't think I would enjoy the results as much as the time before when I was in a similar situation and typed in "man abs".

Here are two determined guys. They lease a freight locomotive, 2 ancient sleeping cars (at least with air con), 6 couchettes without air con (also old) and 2 seating carriages
And they manage to run a Berlin-Brussels night train, something that others - like DB, NS or SNCB - could *much more easily do with their financial means* BUT REFUSE TO EVEN TRY
And basic though it is it’s booked up all summer

This case is interesting because plaintiffs are arguing from the basis of parental rights. In essence, they argue that parents, not the state, are best positioned to make medical decisions for their children.
In doing so they cite to some fairly strong precedent, including precedent that suggests that the matter falls under strict scrutiny. This means that a law needs to meet a compelling government interest and must be narrowly tailored to that interest.
