You use Calibri because serif fonts are hard to read in digital formats and particularly for reversed out text, and you can’t control the medium of the reader.
Also, if switching was “wasteful,” switching back is equally wasteful! Just the absolute undisputed dumbest people in existence.

When cameras are installed, they issue many violations in the first month, followed by a steep decline in the second month. This suggests that the cameras effectively deter speeding by changing underlying driver behavior rather than relying on sustained revenue extraction.

I've always thought that the whole "natural immunity is the best way to protect people" thing was a bit like saying "getting pregnant is the best form of birth control."
Anyway, cool to see it's better for the immune system to see vaccine before virus from an effectiveness standpoint too.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Giants really need to evaluate how they keep screwing up so many top prospects' development paths if they're ever going to be consistently competitive in the futre.
The Giants announced that former top prospect Marco Luciano was claimed off waivers by the Pirates. They now have 39 players on their 40-man roster.

I am not convinced that the Supreme Court will come not come up with a nakedly partisan reason to reject these maps but (1) Dems should do them anyway and (2) defy federal court orders to the contrary
Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.
They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.
Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this

Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

I do think if anyone in your life is using Polymarket to bet on the Game Awards, you are going to have to lock them in a freezer for however many months it takes for them to forget they like gambling. That might take a really long time, but if you care, you’ll do the work.
