Not exactly a hot take, but I rather suspect that the impact of including Eagle Scout on a resume would depend almost entirely on the person reviewing said resume. If it's someone with no exposure to scouting, it would likely mean close to nothing, whereas if the reviewer was a scout or...

Yeah, the Merritt (route 15) never expands to 3 lanes on each side and it's narrow. The only good news for passenger cars on the Merritt is that trucks aren't allowed there. My kid said the Merritt and the back roads in the area were a nightmare last night around 5:30pm.

Since humans came into existence, until the last 70-ish years, haven't we been progressing towards less time spent on "have to" and more time spent on "want to"? In a similar vein, to play out a hypothetical yet logical conclusion, if unlimited resources were possible via "molecular...

I don't think that answers the question, unless you're saying you just think 40 (or some other number rather than 32) is the appropriate number.

Google Fi if you have compatible phones. Service is great. Unlimited 3 lines for $100. I believe data choking begins at 20 GB for each line.

Is this answer because you don't think the government should be involved at all in defining when OT kicks in, or because you think 40 (or some other number) is the appropriate number?

This isn't really any different than how collective bargaining is currently affecting guys like CJ Stroud, Caleb Williams, or Jackson Holliday, though, right?

Thanks. Really useful summary of what happened and the ramifications. Way better than the standard ESPN reporting.

I remember the suit and them winning. Can you explain how they ended up worse off? To be clear, I'm not disagreeing, I'm just unfamiliar with what occurred after.

I don't know that I agree with everything here, but it's food for thought. https://www.salon.com/2024/04/12/social-media-is-a-lifeline-for-mental-health-not-a-curse-according-to-cdcs-own-data/

At the very least, he has to leverage that offer (plus, I don't know, back-to-back titles) for a new contract at UCONN.

And pickleball. I mean, WTF is that?!
