www.bbc.co.uk Maui resident: 'We still have dead bodies'
A Lahaina resident talks about the recovery efforts after a wildfire swept through the Maui town.
I read that as in she is unable to work or research, in the medical field, not as a patient.
And yet still no gun control.
My mother passed recently and was the caregiver for my father who has Parkinson’s and can’t live alone. My parents managed to save some money but not enough to afford him moving to an assisted living facility but has too much to qualify for Medicaid. There won’t be enough money to care for him let alone any sort of inheritance. Fucking system is so fucking broken.
Weirdly we were literally watching YouTube shorts of people farting into pots.
Wishing for a speedy recovery!!!
Ooh! I love Rhys Darcy! Is it going to theaters or something like Netflix? My Google fu is not giving me any details for some reason.
Well that is a small bit of relief.
I have many hours in Slay the Spire and would absolutely buy the game again in support if the moved.
Oh that is great! Thank you, I will check it out!
Routine Building - IOS App?
I'm a bit new(ish) to working out and utilized a personal trainer to get me started over the last few weeks. I can't afford to continue using a trainer and was wondering if there was an app out there that helps you build a routine? I looked at Apple Fitness and I don't want videos, just something that can help build a routine such as - 3 sets 12 crunches, 3 sets of 8 standing overhead dumbbell presses, etc. Ideally it would just list out the exercise, number of reps/sets, etc. as a checklist that you can mark as complete as you go. Most apps I have come across are only videos. Any suggestions?

www.bbc.com Carer shortage: Woman stuck in hospital for 11 months
The 96-year-old was one of thousands on waiting lists for carers and says she felt "imprisoned".
"It's just this awful feeling of being imprisoned," said 96-year-old Lily, who was stuck in hospital for nearly a year while waiting for care support to become available. She is just one of thousands of people in the UK who have been stuck in hospitals or at home due to long waits for care assessments. Lily was delayed in being discharged despite her being "medically fit", and because her council had difficulty finding carers to support her at home. The BBC has found 23% of councils in the UK who provided data had average delays of over a month for care assessments, with some people waiting years for care. The Local Government Association (LGA) said the figures showed a "chronically underfunded system and the pressures councils continue to face". The UK government said waiting lists were down but there was "more to do".

I’ve never heard anyone say this. Maybe we need more context?
Interesting viewpoint but it sadly makes sense.
I believe @rooki has a solid point. Your banner, and icon to a lesser extent, really hurt the eyes and if someone was epileptic it could be an issue. Not to say they aren't neat but I could see someone getting up in arms over it.
Australia's most gas-dependent state is being forced to phase it out. Why? Will other states follow?
Interesting. Did the state/government provide any funds to help with the transition for homeowners? I don't think this is a bad idea at all, especially now that induction stoves are common place.

Tim Scott attacks Ron DeSantis over Florida's slavery curriculum
apnews.com Scott criticizes DeSantis over his support for Florida's slavery curriculum as they stump in Iowa
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott is criticizing fellow Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for supporting standards requiring teachers to instruct middle school students that slaves developed skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit.”
It is concerning we are still arguing over if slavery was wrong in today's time.
“What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating,” Scott, the sole Black Republican in the Senate, told reporters on Thursday after a town hall in Ankeny. “So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that.”

Played this game back back in the early 2000s era. I wish they made games like this again. Combat was a bit clunky but the music, story line, and voice acting were fantastic. Obviously left an impression nearly 20 years later.
