Of course... but... My point is that EVEN if it wasn't JUST for diabetics. it's better to offer a safe space to dispose of them than them ending up in a trash bag where a maintenance worker could poke themselves with it or on the floor or somewhere else where someone could hurt themselves on it.

Articles like these are emblematic of the institutional amnesia surrounding Covid-19. A pathogen that emerged less than seven years ago, which can cause fatigue during the acute infection and as a common long-term effect, not even mentioned. Conspicuously absent. www.nbcnews.com/health/menta...

Fatigue is one of the most common concerns reported in primary care visits, yet not much attention is given to how often adults in the U.S. are coping with it.

There is a direct through line from the kind of emboldened racism that unleashed the media on Professor Jason Arday, hounding him until his death, and the openly racist comments people feel comfortable making now. This is an issue non-Black people must address, and not enough are doing so.

OK. Folks are asking for my research seminar AI statement in my syllabus. Here it is. I just wrote it. Might still tweak it.
I want to emphasize this. I see our time together in this seminar as a kind of pact. I do my best to give you a love of the topic under debate and to make you better writers; you, in turn, give me your best in class and in writing without Al assistance. Our mutual meeting place --student to teacher -- matters to me tremendously; I teach because I want to give you something of value. Use of AI erodes our pact, devaluing my teaching and your efforts.

The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.

In presentations, talk at a moderate pace and enunciate. Pause between phrases, sentences, and questions so people can read the captions and respond. Have speakers take turns and state their name before speaking. This helps everyone, including people captioning in real time.
