...HEAT ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM NOON THURSDAY TO 8 PM EDT FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Heat index values up to near 100 expected.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.
* WHEN...From noon Thursday to 8 PM EDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. If you don`t have home air conditioning, continue to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
It’s not a holiday or observance here, but today is the 60th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision in Miranda v Arizona. It was the decision that established the legal requirement for police to inform someone they are arresting of their legal rights in the situation. Such as the right to the presence of an attorney, and the right to keep silent.
“Read him his rights” has become a pop culture substitute for “place him under arrest”.
We watch a number of police procedural TV shows which I generally enjoy. But they all seem to frequently rely on suspects making confessions without a lawyer presence. If our teenage daughter is watching with us, I always remind her that if she ever finds herself in any kind of negative interaction with the police, the only thing she should say is “I’d like an attorney present.”
Apologies, I thought that db posting the link to the story yesterday was enough context. My "faith group code" is still listed, so I have no skin in this game.
They kept Druid?
Ha! Maybe one of the 3 kinds of Wiccan they had listed, but I guess fall under No Religion, even though they used to have No Religion, Atheist, and Humanist listed. I just post about Celtic festivals from a cultural perspective, rather than a religious one.
You've pointed to zero evidence backing up Russian claims about bioweapons, and further explicitly stated you have no interest in searching for such evidence. You're right that we disagree -- I find accepting a claim based on nothing beyond a bias toward Russia to be an unreasonable stance.
someone should explain to me why religious beliefs, regardless of how asinine they might be, (and no. they're not all asinine) must always deserve respect and deference.
Thank goodness asinine beliefs are confined to religion, and we never have to deal with them in any other venue.
Having them in other countries does not justify their existence in any country. .
Depends on what research is being done. If the research concerns, say, plant diseases or diseases afflicting farm animals or diseases where there is a fear of crossover into human beings, having such labs would be perfectly reasonable.
"I've got Joe Rogan and Mike Benz who say Springsteen's wrong and Elon was right to cause all of those deaths" is a self-refuting assertio
I think Mike Benz knows more about USAID than Bruce Springsteen.
I think Stephen Miller's former speechwriter and proponent of Trump's election denial is full of racist sh*t that too many people are willing to believe because it confirms their prejudices.
During last month’s Victory Day celebration, I don’t recall her complaining that Russia was celebrating the victory of a murderous, totalitarian regime. No, she was happy to accept the framing of it as celebrating the defeat of another murderous, totalitarian regime. So when she wants to, it appears she is in fact able to do nuance. And yet, in the case of Ukraine, she insists that the framing of celebrating resistance to foreign domination be rejected. Funny how her views always line up so completely with Putin propaganda.

Yum. Because of its tantalizingly limited season, strawberry rhubarb may be my favorite pie.
