I use lead for making my wine. My father used lead, and his father before him. There is nothing sweeter than wine from the lead pot, and I know not of a better cup than those of pewter.

Thats what I was trying to argue but the other jurors were more concerned with not having to come back on Monday and a "that's what it says" with no critical thinking. Esp when the plaintiff expert witnesses (an excellent nurse who has a practice investigating nursing homes for compliance with the federal regulations and an excellent doctor who worked for CMS writing the very regulations) outlined what care the law requires

Just finished my jury duty and it was a wild ride

Other jurors shocked me with how antaganostic they were to the plaintiff for asking for compensation and punishment for a nursing home's negligence. We ended up awarding money for clear negligence- specifically for injuries (physical and financial) and pain, but it was a struggle to find agreement from them for clear facts that neither side disputed (and verbally acknowledged this nondispute). When it came time to answer if the doctor was negligent in not consulting a wound physician, they didnt agree because the nursing home policy said "do it if wound doesnt improve in 2-4 weeks". Wound got worse over the 5-6 weeks they waited and by the time they did, she was so bad from not participating in therapy (due to being laid on the wound constantly and the ensuing pain) that she had had to be put on hospice and died from a lack of dialysis.

Because they didnt find the violation of her rights (violations were agreed to) to be reckless or willful (such as by understaffing or poor care), we could not award additional damages to punish the nursing home

I take solace in the fact that it gave the family closure for a 6 year lawsuit

I think he was implying that the same people who would want a list like this banning words like these would support enforcing the use of the above terms

Do you think printing without purge would make it look better? Or would it just blend into an medium brown

A lot of them don't know the difference between ab, abp ublock and ublock origin

Not directly but since it's federated information it would be trivial to extract or view such as running a 1 user instance and viewing the sql database, and theres likely tools now to automate that

Cancer is a prime example of op message

Also viruses started somewhere. A lot had to mutate to get them to be so deadly to begin with for deadly ones.

Given the nature of the post and that its in Twitter, I would expect the number of people voting as a gender/sex they do not identify with to be higher then if it were conducted elsewhere

Im imagining a white person saying it and their skin instantly changes color

What word would make a black person turn white

We're one step from creating a display out of humans shouting obscenities
