There are 15,000 McDonald's in the US and turnover is pretty high. It's an old stat but I don't expect it's changed much over time.
My husband and MIL both worked there so it tracks with my family members at least!

One out of eight Americans have worked at McDonald's, so that's quite a lot.

1/3 of any country, any time, would be happy with fascism. America's problem is that our government systems aren't as resistant to it as they should be; if that 1/3 are in the right states they can elect the president.
1/3 will always fight against fascism, and 1/3 don't really care most of the time. Hopefully they do right now.

Ugh, those reel leashes, where the human is on one side of the path looking off into the distance in thought/on their phone, the dog is on the other side of the path, and the leash is stretched across like a clothesline.

Hm, well that's a bit weird, but if it was an emergency --
The BBC has also discovered the same surgeon carried out three supposedly low-risk operations in two months where all three patients died soon after.
...oh.

Yeah, though clues are few and far between; the ::: spoiler spoiler museum in Tanchico with the Mercedes hood ornament ::: is the biggest clue. From Jordan's other writings, the ::: spoiler spoiler First age was our time, then humans created an AI powerful enough to genetically engineer humans to be able to do magic, ::: and that led to the Age of Legends.

Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren't sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like "ER now!" (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it's never happened again, but it's definitely stayed with me.)

Great criteria. Another "straight to the ER" one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it's easy to assume it's fine, but it's not.

You're obviously not a woman: if you were you'd know that we talk about this stuff all the time, and that it absolutely is not obvious to women in blue states how scary things are in red states.

I have a friend who likes making care packages for people; anyone know of a good outlet for that? Before Reddit got big there were a few good places on there but I'm drawing a blank now.
Most of the leadership of the Columbia strike in 1968 was young men like myself. That no longer appears to be the case — either at Columbia or the other university protests around the country. In 1968 we made the mistake of answering the police violence with anger, fighting them and calling them pigs. We blurred the line between nonviolence (the occupation of buildings) and violence (our slogans and rhetoric), thereby undercutting our moral position. The students protesting the slaughter in Gaza, with their diverse leadership are making no such mistakes. They are thoroughly nonviolent. There may be individuals or provocateurs who defy the strategy, but at least the protesters are trying to make their intention clear. In a little-reported Instagram post last week entitled “Columbia’s Gaza Student Protest Community Values,” they wrote “At universities across the nation our movement is united in valuing every human life” and “We firmly reject any form of hate or bigotry.” Setting up tents and praying for the souls of the dead, all the dead, is not violence.

> “Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their skin tone, affect, or demeanor, are often not detected by AI and algorithms.” > “Nurses are not against scientific or technological advancement, but we will not accept algorithms replacing the expertise, experience, holistic, and hands-on approach we bring to patient care,” they added.

I started editing Wikipedia more seriously over the last couple of months, and this video has a bunch of useful information and how-tos that I wish I had then, and some stuff that I still didn't know. I really like contributing to such a useful resource, and knowing that every little edit I make helps everybody who wants to learn about that topic!

This time Mike is out for revenge. In our last battle, Mike was winning and made a crucial mistake in the final question. This prompted the internet to crown Rich Evans as the king of all TNG trivia. Winning by a simple question doth not make one a king of trivia. Showing relentless and consistent knowledge is how to achieve that. I’m afraid to say Mike has and will continue to do that time and time again with surgeon-like precision. Evans, I hate to say it, is on his last leg mentally. Sure, Mike makes a mistake here and there, but his wit and knowledge remain strong and intact. Not much remains in Evans’ soiled soul. His meat sack body is nothing but a rotting bag of regret. Sure, he remembers some things about TNG, but did he retain anything else? Probably not. He’s seen with his own eyes Star Trek turn into a living nightmare and a joke. Star Trek was once a bastion of hope for lonely nerds in High School. If you liked Star Trek The Next Generation (or Star Trek in general) you were relentlessly mocked. Why? Because the show was thoughtful, proposed interesting ideas, and was scientifically methodical. It was the opposite of cool. It was the opposite of an exciting football game or going to a concert and pushing your friends in a mosh pit.

A senior Trump advisor shared a video that seems to show an NBC reporter badmouthing Republican presidential candidates. It appears AI was used to imitate the reporter's voice.
