- bovinegamblerThe mammoth-cyclops/griffin-triceratops connection sounded really cool, so I did some quick searches. For what it's worth, it seems that this is a pop theory but not based in evidence.
- Mozilla does something like that, privacy reviews of consumer products: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/
- Yeah, I had the same question. It seems the form appears here on their suburu.com domain:
- WNYC had a cool one a few years ago that also included time to get to/from stations but it seems their MapBox account isn't working anymore: https://project.wnyc.org/transit-time/
You can see what it looked like here https://gothamist.com/news/map-find-out-how-long-it-takes-to...
- Well, open up that PDF :)
The whole thing is just three and a half pages, starting on page 41.
On page 43:
"Recommendations
5.1 Request the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Water, and Rural Affairs and the House Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to take action to clearly define the scope and limits of the statutory owner exemption in the Veterinary Licensing Act." It goes on...
- Hey, just by the way, it seems your characterization of the outcome with regards to vets at animal shelters is not correct. It's kind of the opposite. It starts on page 41 of the PDF (second link). The problem was: "Recent court decisions prevent the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners from regulating shelter veterinarians or veterinary medicine practiced in animal shelters."
"Strictly interpreted, the statutory exemption means anyone who practices veterinary medicine in the context of animal shelters and rescue groups is exempt from the Veterinary Licensing Act, including standard of care measures and use of controlled substances. The impact of the decisions is already having an effect on the oversight and regulation of veterinary medicine in Texas, as the agency has begun to close all complaints against shelter veterinarians, declaring them non-jurisdictional based on the decisions. Taken to the extreme and assuming the Act does not apply in the context of shelter medicine, animal shelters and rescue groups would not need to hire licensed veterinarians. If the Act does not apply to the care of these animals, any person regardless of training, education, or qualification, and regardless of their criminal or disciplinary history, would legally be able to practice veterinary medicine on shelter and rescue animals."
The recommendation from the Sunset Commission was therefore for the legislature to change the law to make sure veterinary medicine at rescue clinics WAS regulated.
- Yeah, 6 out of 16 dollars... 37.5% cut.
But it seems like that's the best possible cut.
Also from FAQ:
>Our pricing of $25/hour, which goes down to $16 USD/hour when you purchase a bundle of 10 hour sessions, is split as follows:
>$10, regardless of the package, goes straight to our CPs.
and
> $25/hour if you purchase 1 hour
> $19/hour if you purchase 5 hours
> $16/hour if you purchase 10 hours
So a 60% cut or a 47% cut (!!!)

- I'm not going to accuse reviewers of dishonesty but I very much agree about the discomfort. I've tried all sorts of placements and tilts and layouts but it's always awkward.
I'm guessing that the discrepancy may be people with different sized hands. I find it such an awkward reach from the home position to hit anything on the middle columns or outside the two large bars in the thumb cluster. Also the 'wing' wrist rests are worthless to me, they're too low for a keyboard so thick.
I keep trying it every week or two because I have such immense buyer's remorse but really I hate it.
