It does look pretty dangerous considering a "wrong way" lane could be on either side. A young woman disappeared there and was thought to be a potential murder victim until her car was found in the water. Site linked below says 4 deaths total, way less than Bundy

My old Sherpa/Free Radical had been sitting around for a few years until my 2nd oldest friend and I tracked down possibly the last surviving kid-carrier hardware (thanks @xtracycle.bsky.social!) and now he's *safely* taking his kids everywhere with it 🤩

If you like sproinger and microtubule, behold NOMPC/TRPN, sensor of gentle touch in flies and fish! Cell deformation and microtubule movements are thought to compress the spring-like ankyrin repeats and in turn gate the channel.

I had the same impulse, only it was Laney. Turns out their page helpfully explains what the parent was confused about. Basically if you're a post-HS student doing Math you have the right to (try to) start with a transfer requirement.

It would certainly be punitive, as well as unprecedented and likely illegal, to ban students from an otherwise accredited CA high school! That is *very* different from just considering "local context" as is actually already done to admit high ranking students from (generally) lower income schools.

Posts about Cherry Blossoms have me wondering what folks think about Aplets & Cotlets, Washington state's own controversial candy.

"Fluffy" is subjective but if we're generous with the definition fluffy small dogs should be pretty old too (much older than modern fluffy breeds). Re the op something to remember

Avoiding Misconceptions About Canid Evolution in Study Design
The history of dogs is an important consideration in the design of behavioral genetic studies. Studies of domestication will sometimes assume that modern gray wolves are the wild ancestors of dogs, but in truth they are their closest living wild relative, which is an important distinction. They are descended from a more distant lineage of wolves than the dog progenitor population,which is unknown but likely extinct (15). Thus, differences between modern wolves and dogs are not necessarily related to domestication. The timeline of dog domestication also dispels a common misperception that some breeds are more ancient or more primitive [and therefore more “wolf-like” behaviorally and genetically (16, 17)]. All dogs are descended from the ancient domestic dogs, and no modern breed is more than a few centuries old.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lw3xw6b4qbkfbfw6as65kgbb/bafkreid46sjccgv2q43jlkufvifg2hr4dmjuq4zmyixsx4a6ao54r7smzm@jpeg)

It won't be insolvent, to be clear there is no threat of not receiving any payout under current law. If nothing is done, benefits will become limited to payroll tax receipts and simply fall once by ~20%.
But you're absolutely right about the choice to hopefully save the additional benefits
