Growing up in (USA) public school, students weren’t allowed to wear head coverings unless it was a religious observance. Why are students who don’t wear a uniform not allowed to wear hats?

Why are students who don’t wear a uniform not allowed to wear hats? It's considered disrespectful to cover your head indoors. There were also claims that they were gang symbols in the 90s so cue hysteria and zero tolerance (for some people). My question: can someone recommend a good (free or ~$20) social media planning tool? I'd like to coordinate volunteers who are responsible for our org's different channels and keep us all informed about themes/topics and make sure we have poo poo planned and ready to go for event promotion.

Why are students who don’t wear a uniform not allowed to wear hats? Because the objective of school is to humiliate, cajole, distract and bribe young humans so that they are optimally obedient and as homogenous as possible. Those who do not or cannot obey are punished until criminalized and then streamed toward prison, suicide, institutionalization and alternative economies. This particular rule probably comes from secular tradition where a ruler would compel vulnerability by making knights remove their helmets, and/or religion where it’s shameful to cover your head if you’re a man because you are the image of god, and shameful to uncover your head if you’re a woman because you are not the image of god. But I say this as a teacher, in practice the hat rule is purely an exercise in arbitrary power. Controlling the bodies of the weak to show them that you can, in preparation for a world where they can expect their bodies to be controlled in public until they die.

I have a storage room in the basement of my apartment. It gets wet and moist in there leading to mold problems. I stupidly left some clothes down there a while back for a few months and it was covered in mold. So since then, I've been a little hesitant to leave stuff there. Stupid question but I just purchased some parts for my PC and I want to keep the boxes there. Just basic cardboard boxes with some Styrofoam. No issues with mold here, right? It's only the cotton / clothes that will get moldy?

Dehumidifiers are a thing, and at least a right thing for this sort of problem.

I guess I'll just buy a large garbage bag and throw it all in there. I also have some luggage down there too but that should be fine, right? ulmont posted:Dehumidifiers are a thing, and at least a right thing for this sort of problem. It's a shared basement storage space so I don't think a dehumidifier will do anything.

Is it just wide open, or do you get a little fenced in area and a lock? If you really care about moisture/mold a small rubbermaid/plastic tub with a lid would work, and has the benefit of being reusable for anything.

Assuming the zippers and such on your luggage have cloth portions, I would say get those into sealed containers/bags with drying beads too.

(This question is about the US, since I don’t know if other countries’ regulations are different) How do pharmaceutical companies come up with the trade names for new medicines? Do they just hire ad companies to do it? I feel like I read somewhere that one of the rules is the name can’t actually mean anything, so I’m curious how ad companies even go about making up the names.

However, the AMA-USP Nomenclature Committee quickly realized that a different way of naming drugs was needed and published a list of guiding principles to systematize nomenclature and move away from names derived from the chemical name of a substance.16 At that time, the AMA-USP Nomenclature Committee recognized 3 difficulties with chemically derived names: (1) the use of chemical syllables led to “complex, unmanageable” names for large classes of chemically related drugs; (2) common, chemically derived syllables (eg, di-, chlor-, meth-) were so overused that names were becoming less distinctive; and (3) some chemical compounds were so complex that the names derived from the proper chemical name were not meaningful to physicians. Consequently, most USAN now include a stem. A stem consists of syllables—usually at the end of the name—that denote a chemical structure, indication, or action at a specific receptor. For example, in the name imatinib, the -tinib stem refers to the drug’s action as a tyrosine kinase (TYK) inhibitor. Occasionally, a substem is used to further classify a drug. Thus, -citinib refers to drugs inhibiting a specific family of TYK inhibitors, the Janus kinases. There are currently over 600 stems and substems that have been defined for classes of drugs

I assumed they meant the brand names, like Lunesta, Viagra, and Farxiga (which is also a handful of scrabble tiles).

What would actually happen to your hand if it got caught in the garbage disposal? Would it get stuck or would you be able to yank it out before much happened? I'm guessing some broken fingers at the very least. Possibly much worse. Afraid to google cause I don't want to run into pictures.

I'm guessing some broken fingers at the very least. Possibly much worse. Based on my experience in commercial kitchens, which is to say I have a PhD in Talking Out of My rear end: Garbage disposals don't handle bone well. Even the massive ones (like twice the size of a washing machine) I used at an army cafeteria took an awful lot of time to chew up a coffee cup or melanine bowl that may slipped down the chute. The smaller ones where we washed pots and pans, we weren't allowed to chuck apple cores, pineapple tops, or any meat on the bone because it would choke on it. (Or spit it back out into your face, which was always fun.) Also, if you look at most disposals, it's kind of a plate with chunky teeth at the bottom --- it's not a bunch of fine blades like a blender. You'd kinda have to hold your hand down there, it, wouldn't get "sucked" in. So my completely unscientific guess is on a home-use one, you'd lose the flesh on your finger tips, maybe the tips themselves, but be able to yank it out before you lost your whole hand. If some psycho held a gun to my head and forced me to pick between sticking my hand in a blender/robo-coupe/food processor or a disposal for 10 seconds, I'd pick the disposal. Any EMTs/surgeons, feel free to correct me, just going off my thoughts. Aaaaand now I'm gonna have work-related nightmares tonight.

I would think that nearly anything with bones and the musculature pull the joints apart ought to be able to “crack” them. Primates, certainly.

There's an air hose at a gas station I use that says it charges a dollar fifty then quietly charges your credit card $4 without giving any indication or reciept. The only reason I caught it was because I get a text message with the name of the business and the amount any time my credit card is used. I feel like this is purposefully ripping people off, is there someplace I could report this to that would actually do anything about it? I already got my money back so I'm not asking about that.

I'm not going to defend them but sometimes when I'm getting gas the station has a notice that if you use credit (or debit maybe? i don't remember) they'll charge you a static amount so that they can ensure that the money will be there and then they'll later change the amount when they find your total charge. Might not be your situation at all but wanted to through that out there.

Yes. Just select the headphones as the output in windows sound settings and the usb mic as input. Warning though, it will be weird as hell to be speaking and not be able to hear yourself!

While we're at it, maybe I can cast a wider net: I may or may not have done something dumb: I just bought a tarnished silver belt buckle off eBay. A very quick search brought me to an article that informed me that it would be as easy to remove as using vinegar and a toothbrush.  (Seller photo) Can I easily remove this stuff, or should I bring it to a professional?

I am concerned that that’s plating that’s corroding through and not solid silver, but I’m not exactly an antique appraiser, so take that with a grain of salt. If all it is is tarnished silver, that’s easy enough to fix. Mild abrasives work. Mild acids work. My recommendation is to use use Platystemon fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Mar 6, 2020 |

Yeah it looks like there may actually be something forming oxides or sulphides on the surface that are pitting the silver instead of just leaving a patina on it.

big crush on Chad OMG posted:Most dehumidifiers have a drain hose hookup. And a lot of the new ones even have pumps so you can drain above (since a lot of them tend to live in basements). If you really need a dehumidifier you probably also need one that drains itself. I know I've never been successful at consistently keeping one empty/running otherwise.

Am I misremembering, or did it used to be the case that cage matches in WWE used to have the door locked and the only way to escape was to climb out the top? Because the thing they do now where you can win the match by just asking the ref to open the door for you is real dumb.
