Not commenting on the findings in the case at all, but WHY would the judge have done this and does it actually matter (as in if the wording is wrong but the gist is right, or if the wording and gist are wrong but it wouldn't have any major bearing on the result anyway)?

Showing my ignorance re US health system but if "Approximately 11% to 12% of measles cases require hospitalization" & hospital care is usually paid for by insurance, do insurance companies not mandate vaccinations? Or at least exclude treatment for illness which could've been avoided if vaccinated?
The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.
South Carolina measles outbreak is 'accelerating,' driving hundreds into quarantine
Some students who remain unvaccinated are now in a second 21-day quarantine since the beginning of the school year.

I didn't even know they were called em dashes until people started going all Sherlock Holmes on them but I love them and I'm keeping them.
I am not losing my emdashes—I created a keyboard shortcut to make them easy to type and I'm not giving it up. I can assure you all my —'s are homegrown.
are we still on about em dashes and ai. imo human writers should just use the em dashes even harder. we should be out here pummeling out those em dashes like we're emily dickinson

Not necessarily about Salah/Slot but life in general...I'm amazed how many people say "if I was Slot I'd want to talk to him and find out why he's upset" and I'm wondering if I have psychopathic tendencies because if someone publicly slagged me off and tried to get me the sack they'd be dead to me.

Renters!
Has anyone used the Reposit scheme instead of a traditional deposit?
As I understand it, you pay 1 week rent which is non-refundable instead of 5 weeks rent which would be refundable, plus a fee of £30 each year.
Pros are less upfront costs. Cons are the arbitration service *might* not
