  I always appreciated the professors that looked out for us and warned us of the places not to get any textbooks from, with links so we could recognize what to avoid, of course.

  Then we’d get a professor that gave up doing anything and had us buy a $200, license (with a $200 textbook) to an online course that taught and graded his class.

  That is for employment/workers, not housing. Under equal opertunity employment you cannot discriminate agianst someone 40 or over.

  For fair housing, you must not discriminate, such as refuse familys with minor children, except in a number of cases,

  one being if 80% of the dwellings units must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older and the community is made and operates as a 55+ place.

  Article states they found over 150 in a detached garage, and in his bedroom was a backpack stuffed with explosives.

  Yes, ideally it would be days, not months, but realistically 2 months is not that bad. There are so many threats, reports, etc. Ideally the FBI could investigate every possible threat, but there are too many false threats. I think it makes sense, the 2 reports part. I person says it, just one of thousands of reports daily, 2 reports, there is much higher likelihood of there being something.

  For an example of how many threats,

  Where I live, it’s not a large city, but the school district gets a threat or report agianst a school about once a week. Boy who cried wolf, they can’t treat everyone as legitimate, at best they notify parents.

  Of course these are symptoms of systematic government and societal problems, after all I don’t know any other “First world country”, we have to drill preschoolers and thier teachers active shooter drills as much as fire and earthquakes.

  I am still concerned about fluoride, but for different reasons. The federal government says there is too much natural fluoride in our water so we must import water to dilute it. The federal government doesn’t trust us with police officers, or politicians, but surely the public water company isn’t corrupt or incompetent…surely.

  But hey, our teeth are really white and no ones died from flouride, far more likely to die from sudden lead.

  If I remember correctly, they don’t have mammalian glands and instead “sweat” thier milk for thier young.

  Reminds me of a comedians joke,

  American: and how many sick days go you get off?

  European: All of them? If you’re sick, you don’t go to work…

  In middle school I had to argue with a teacher that “Floral” was a word. I was unsuccessful in convincing him.

  One Christmas extended family had a Christmas gift exchange, one uncle had made a “gag gift”, it was a piggy bank with pennies, I got it, he felt bad but to everyone’s suprise, I was estatic. I was 5 and collecting coins, a piggy bank filled with loose change was the best present.
