I'm in Oregon. Straight down the i-5 from Portland, which is where I understand it to have started

I can say that all 4 of my dogs caught it.

They're still alive, but my 13 year old has not and probably won't return to full function. He's got some pretty significant scarring on his lungs. We are in one of the affected states, and they caught it from the neighbors' dogs who brought it home from the groomers.

It's definitely in my area.

If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.

That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.

But many actually don't do it which is why they don't use the USDA certified

Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not "usda certified organic"

Most

It's always funny when people make bad jokes, and insist it's everyone else who has a shitty sense of humor.

Jokes are funny

The circumstances of that bill are weird af too.

They gave democrats no time to read it, and barely any time to get to the hill for the vote on the first place. Arguably, the only reason they voted for it at all is because of the congressman who pulled the fire alarm, giving dems time to read and see it was a reasonable bill.

But, if the dems hadn't had time to read the bill, they likely would've voted against it on the premise of not voting on something they don't understand hasn't read, and someone they inherently don't trust presented under shadycircumstances. Then McCarthy would've had a shutdown like Gaetz wanted, but, one he could've blamed on the dems, for not voting for this very reasonable extension bill.

The company I work for now has very much this attitude for the last 50 years.

As a result they have 3 locations, no sops, and no accountability.

Over the last 6 months is been my job to put us back in compliance with local and federal reporting requirements and develop SOPs. The feedback from the bottom up is that it's wonderful to have consistency, different bosses giving the same answers to questions, auditors being able to complete audits in expected and appropriate times, and in compliance with reporting regulations.

Can companies go overboard and employ people like me who do busy unnecessary work? Absolutely. But it is definitely appropriate to have a couple of administrators.

We don't live in your world of shoulds and unto the human race can grow up and not be awful to each other you can't just rely on mods.

Finally, mods do this work for free, and if they want no downvotes, the instances exist.

Those are likely suites of rooms. You can kind of see the partitions of larger areas before it becomes maze like.

As a palace, accommodations for residents and guests would need to account for entire family size, as well as potential retinue.

No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.

What is more likely "nope wecan't make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we're gonna wait another 6 to begin development"

Or

"This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors"

They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn't keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.

Edit: Oh God it's you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.

Honestly, it's worth skipping season 7 if you do make it that far. The leviathan are one of the worst television plots in history imo. That said it gets pretty decent again for a few seasons.
