But can you sell pharma without traceability documents?

Nope! Amazingly enough, it's a blockchain-adjacent technology that enables it. Any third party in the supply chain can trace an individual dose from the bioreactor to the pharmacy without the pharma having to give out even read-only access to an internal system.

I'm a great fan! When I watch TV I'm always saying "That's political correctness gone mad!"
Why thankyew!


AITA for informing a school a family with students have moved out of district in order to make room for my child?

quote:

My children and I moved into a new school district last year. Although we live very close to a great school we were sent to attend another school in the district because the desired school was at capacity.

I was informed right before the school year that my two children were next to be enrolled. The housing issue has slowed movers down to a near halt and we aren't really living in an area with frequent movers anyway.

I found out that a family moved out of our district to our inner city schools but was also informed the students were still attending the school in my district. I don't know the family, but I don't blame them. The inner city schools are terrible and problematic at best; however, our district is not open enrollment and they should no longer be attending the school.

I called the principal and board of education to make a report and I was finally informed last week that my children will be attending our local school and I breathed a sigh of relief. They will start next week and this will be a huge burden lifted for our household.

The issue comes from the family that needs to pull their children from school. They found out I made the call and informed me that while I was doing what's best for my child I was greatly harming all four of theirs. Apparently, one of their children is autistic and thriving with their school. Turns out, three of their kids attended the school I wanted but one of them attended a special school for autistic children. They said he was non-verbal, to now telling his mom "I love you."

I felt terrible when they said that but I also didn't make them move. They did that on their own. They have been telling people about it and of course they think I'm heartless. Some have said I'm an rear end in a top hat, but I wanted to see if I mishandled it. So AITA here??

I love this one because he really could have sounded innocent if he just chalked it up as some dumb thing he showed his BiL instead of (allegedly) admitting he (allegedly) planned theft on purpose.

Also I love how he has some big important job and 200 bucks is the bribe it takes to get him to put it all at risk.

Alleging the BIL stole the form and that he knew about it because... let's say, the kind of idle complaining we all do about work complications, would probably be a good idea. I can't imagine that form is something you're supposed to show anyone a copy of.

AITA for shutting down my sister’s opinion about our baby name?

quote:

Throwaway because I’m using real names. Okay, here’s the situation. I (25M) am expecting a daughter in November with my fiance Clair. My name is Cody, so we’d like to keep the C theme going. If we have a boy later, he’ll be Charles after Clair’s grandpa. My fiance and me really like the name Keelee, but we’re spelling it Ceelee or Cheelee with a hard C to keep the theme.

The problem is my sister Angie (28F). She’s child free, but she’s still very opinionated and judgemental about names. She strongly prefers traditional common names like Emma and Madeline, and she’s been very pissy about the name we picked. Last weekend, we went to her and her boyfriend’s place for Memorial Day, and she took my fiance Clair aside, supposedly to “help cut vegetables.” Actually, Angie just wanted to rip into my fiance with her name opinions. She said we should forget about Cheelee. She said she’d already talked it over with our mom (Clair’s MIL), and “they’d decided that we should go with Catherine/ Catie instead.” Clair of course said hell no to that, and called me.

I came in, and I told Angie we needed to go. In the car home, we called my mom, but she wouldn’t admit to “agreeing” with Angie about belting the name. I don’t think my family has veto power, it’s our choice as a couple and they should MYOB. However: Angie has Asperger’s, and she’s the person in the family who says what everyone is thinking, but no one will say. If multiple people in the family hate this name, I worry that the negative vibe will impact our daughter. AITA (or, are we the assholes) for not taking family feedback into consideration?

It’s called “r/relationships” because it always has been, but stuff from AITA, legal advice, etc. is fine as long as there is a relationship involved. I’d say loving someone over legally constitutes a relationship.

Sagebrush posted:

does anyone have the post where a kid cussed out his mom on the phone or something and he's terrified of what she's going to do when she gets home and it ends with "my brothers are out in the back yard and they've made a cardboard gravestone for my funeral"

quote:

I was arguing with mom yesterday while she's on her business trip. I warned the new call of duty game and she said no. I accidentally said the words go gently caress yourself. She said "just you wait." My idiot sister Jane 14 told the twins.

The started going oohhhhh we got us another murder today boys. They started talking about how I was to young to remember, but Timmy our brother said the exact same thing to mom and she killed him. They've actually gone into the shed and are making me a tombstone made from wood. I've seen it they have my name on it and everything. They've planted it in the backyard and have put 5 chairs there for the funeral.

How do I get my brothers to stop being mean and to help me apologise to mom?

TL;DR: Accidentally told mom to go gently caress herself and my brothers are being jerks about it and not helping me.

The problem with that defense is the $200. The money wrecks any chance at him arguing it was just innocent chit-chat, no idea what BIL planned on doing, etc.

Yep, the thing that gets casual accomplices is that there is no honour among thieves. It wouldn't surprise me if old mate really did believe his BIL would take just a little and I am sure BIL was intending to go all in on one great big pay day from the start.

We had a case recently where a store person managed to arrange the theft of a sea container (20 tonnes) of sodium cyanide (local law requires a police escort to transport this quantity of it) and a number of facility staff were obviously trying to protect the ring leader until they realised waaay too late that they were going to get hosed not just by the company but by local authorities as well. All of a sudden, the same people bald face lying to protect their mate (when trying to work out what had happened) are now insisting that the company should help protect them from the authorities because they didn't know that the ring leader was loving them over too.

If crime OP had any kind of work from home situation, or a work laptop that he could take home, he could have probably just gone with "I didn't know anything about this, my brother in law must have hacked into my computer while I was doing something else" and then he just has gross negligence. Posting about a seven figure crime on Reddit is so fantastically stupid, which means they probably were not smart enough to ensure the $200 was in cash.
