re: U.S. Fighter Jet Falls Off Aircraft Carrier Into The Red Sea

Not sure. But I know that when we shot down our own f18 returning to carrier in the Red Sea back in January in the middle of the night, no one was disciplined. So in this case, probably no one will be disciplined
Wasn’t that before the new administration? Or right at the beginning before new policies?

They're not legal anymore in LA since the 2024 legislative session. They were 50 mg per can, which is a pretty intense dose even for experienced consumers.
Doesn’t go into effect until Aug ‘25 I believe.

How do you prove/disprove THC intoxication?
I can almost see companies start to employ ex cops to be part of the safety team that can do field sobriety testing.

Would really depend on your company policy.
At my employer our policy states the substance has to be
1.) legally obtained
2.) legal substance in Louisiana
3.) Taken in accordance of a doctor
4,) can’t be on the substance while at work.
So according to this I can take THC gummies and drink that THC seltzer, just not before going to work. I mean it’s a legal substance in the state so it’s no different than alcohol. You can buy them both at a gas station.

This study also demonstrates that students who went to voucher schools performed worse than their public school peers on standardized tests.
Who gives a damn about a standardized test? Standardized testing is one of the most idiotic implementations in the education system.

It started I guess about a decade or so ago with companies trying to retain people by giving them a “promotion” on paper but not necessarily a bump in pay.
Makes people hang around longer, supposedly.

Make the owners show proof of insurance before a towing company can release their vehicle, plus having them pay for the towing and storage fees.
You realize this is already in place, right?
Plus the reinstatement fee.

To be fair, there is a shite ton more risk in La due to the landscape and the crappy building codes within 30 miles of our coast.
Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t our landscape pretty similar to Florida?
Also, are our building codes that much behind Florida, MS, AL?

I put away about $1k/mo but only about $700 is for me. The other goes to my two kids’ college funds. I should’ve started saving more earlier but my first wife had a spending problem however, I have always put $ in my kids’ college funds.
I also hate debt and do my best to double payments to get ride of it as soon as I acquire it. That being said I don’t have issue with acquiring debts for needs or experiences. I took my family to a vacation in the Caribbean, Greece, and this summer we’re going to Scotland. I never got to do that when I was a kid/teenager and I have 0 issue with them getting to experience it. I’ll just pay $1500/mo to pay it off in 12-15mo.
I think you have to find what you’re comfortable with and where your values are, in addition to being responses saying “no” to yourself when you need to.

Again, I am not at all defending DD’s, however I’ve asked a simple question to a handful of people regarding the same penalty for texting vs drinking….not a word. Crickets.
You’re getting the same resistance over that question now, that people exhibited over the .08 BAC because it’s commonplace for people to do it.
People know texting and driving is dangerous but people generally grossly overestimate their driving ability while underestimating the dangers of their actions because they do it so much. Thus, you get avoidance of the question because then people would be advocating for harsher punishment for the same things they do normally.

Sounds like the female officer is a liability to the department.
As are most cops when it comes to physical altercations.
It’s the one most likely to occur but the one trained for minimally bc liability and injuries.
Depts. rather deal with the occasional incident like this rather than all the workers comp claims from bogus injuries.
