We lived on the line of Leech Lake Reservation (near Cass Lake, MN) but except for that and the Crow Reservation, the rest of our reservation experiences were in the southwest. (IHS hospital/clinics) Yes, they're all different; la

Some tribes (Navajo Nation included) are still receiving direct health care. There's a huge hospital in Gallup, NM, as well as another in Shiprock. Health care is supplied by the federal Indian Health Services (of HHS). In no way sh

Having lived on reservations, Navajo Nation being one of them, I'd opine that the co-morbidities are the main contributing factor. The diabetes rates on the rez are many times that of the US population as are the rates of alcoholism.

In the US, the right to travel is one of the most basic. The right to work comes along somewhere close to that. I couldn't have imagined Americans would ever stand for such a thing, but current attitudes seem poised to easily fall ov

Basically, it's a "license" for freedom. What a convoluted and contradictory concept. Given the past, and Germany's "Never Again" sentiment, I'm surprised this can even be considered.

Bout time this started happening. Now, the rest of the industry just needs to follow suit.

It's not the rate that matters. It's the actual number of deaths. SO FAR, this flu season, the CDC attributes 20,000 to 52,000 deaths to the flu in the US alone. Coronavirus has killed a tenth of that worldwide. So, no. Corona

I feel zero stress. CDC estimates 16,000-41,000 flu deaths for the 2019-2020 season (through 15 Feb) in the US alone. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-e... Look at US coronavirus de

As I look at http://www.thedigeratilife.com/blog/federal-minimum-wage-his... I see the minimum wage was actually $1.60 at the time, but I was paid $1.50. Might have had to do with the fact that I was 15.

When I started washing dishes, minimum wage was $1.50. Hard to get used to inflation of 1000%.

As more of the actual science comes out, the politicization of the IPCC becomes more evident.

CEB has been used for centuries in Britain. Arid is obviously not a factor. It's also been used for multi-story buildings. I'm not sure how dense housing reduces pollution though. Some of the least polluting housing in the wor

Greenhouse operators often provide their plants with an atmosphere of 1200-1500 ppm CO2, which would fall into the economically advantageous range. No idea where the "too much" range starts though.

I remember the mumps as being fairly painful. I recall the chicken pox as being extremely itchy. What do I recall about measles? Not much at all really except that they forced me to stay home from school. The alarmism surrounding the mea

If I move my forecast location a few hundred yards, my elevation changes rather drastically, changing the forecast. Elevation isn't a factor most forecasts even consider. Is it false precision to use elevation to tailor the forecast

"chance of precipitation is 80%, less than an inch possible" How would you determine, in a scientifically rigid manner, the limits on conditions which would validate that forecast as "right?" Or the inverse. What condi

I use the forecast put out by weather.gov that's supposedly tailored to the square mile because it gets the 12 hour forecast right about 40% of the time. The others are worse. Of course, when they say "chance of precip

"0.0.0.0 is the invalid, un-routable address." That's apparently a windows-centric statement. In Linux, 0.0.0.0 is the same as 127.0.0.1, whereas 0.0.0.1 works as your invalid address.

I got a couple of those, both demanding $800. Maybe the $650 threshold gets a few more hits.

“In some buildings, there are more ‘Black Lives Matter’ posters than there are actual black people...” Those posters are divisive in and of themselves. Best to have no racially themed posters at all.

Please do not refer to madness as "your." "This" would be preferable. Also, I do not recognize that "our" language should change to address a tiny minority wishing to be referred to in a non-binary s

Asking people to refer to you how you want to be addressed IS madness. You must then ask every person how to refer to him/her/them/it/cis/trans/pan before you assume standard English is good enough.
