    Only double? Honestly I would have thought more.

    We live in a world where most jobs compensation is determined by the difficulty of the program. Medical doctor is very hard to get into and hard to do. Sounds like the problem now is that he's lazy. Don't get me wrong, nursing is hard work. But that's how the cookie crumbles.

    Had to think about this but I don't think an island is considered an exclave.

    The reason for this is because it is entirely surrounded by water, not another piece of land. Islands are not usually considered to be exclaves.

    https://homework.study.com/explanation/is-hawaii-an-exclave.html it's paywalled but the answer came through on google.

    The island is right beside both Canadian and Denmark (greenland) land, so it's not exactly isolated or surrounded by either.

    Has anybody ever seen the movie “Gangs of New York?” That’s what I’m talking about. We know that when you have these massive ethnic enclaves forming in our country, it can sometimes lead to higher crime rates. .... things like what we’ve done over the last few years, which is have 20-25 million illegal aliens just setting up shop here with no control, no enforcement, and no real ability to police what’s going on. That is a disaster.

    Worth reading the whole quote, the article goes right to it.

    Pretty cool, worth the watch. They don't show the size very well, with arms folded in fits in the back of a pickup. 30 kg with one battery, 40 kg with 2 batteries, hot swap battery, 16 km range, 20 m/s (72 km/h), 6000 m ceiling, record and repeat flight paths.

    It is not exactly clear when and where the video was taken, nor who exactly “they” were. According to a BBC report earlier this year almost 350 Russian fighters, ground attack aircraft and tactical bombers have been shot down over the battlefield during the last two and a half years. These have been by both Ukrainian air defense assets and “friendly fire” incidents.

    The most serious blow came from the Supreme Court in the 2013 decision Shelby County v. Holder, which ruled that states with a long history of voting discrimination no longer needed to approve their election changes with the federal government. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion that “things have changed dramatically” in the South, but since the ruling nearly 100 restrictive voting laws have been passed in at least 29 states, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. As a result of the Shelby decision and a slew of new anti-voting measures passed by Republicans in the wake of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, voters in almost half the country will face new voting restrictions at the polls in 2024.

    Also talks about a map which sounds like gerrymandering.

    In a now-deleted Reddit post, one victim described how a “neo-nazi gang” with “their shirts off with swastika and other nazi symbols” held their friends underwater. One victim suffered a concussion, facial swelling, and a bruised retina resulting in partial vision loss, while another received a bruised eye, according to interviews with the victims. At least two sought medical attention after the attack.

    The Observer acquired footage of the attack recorded by an eyewitness and verified the Reddit post’s claims with the victims. Video appears to show individuals who were part of the group that included the ABT members or supporters instigating the fight, which lasted approximately two minutes and took place in a part of the San Marcos River that is only a few feet deep. In the footage, apparent perpetrators seem to submerge two of the victims underwater.

    It does two things: 1) a cache when one door is open, 2) and prevents drafts (from improper sealing around the door) like OP said. Insulation of the door is another component of the second part.

    Well businesses use them because there is so much traffic coming and going. Hope you don't have that much at your place.

    I could only think that we have better weatherproofing around doors now (and better doors themselves too with better insulation). And the rest of the house is better insulated and air tight too, so less of a need. We used to have screen doors that cut the wind as well, don't see many of those but those could come back. Interesting idea but I can't really see them coming back, especially with many new houses being those small skinny houses.

    TIL the term "Mad as a Hatter" likely came from hat makers using mercury and the resulting mercury poisoning. en.wikipedia.org

    >Mercury poisoning of hat-makers – In 18th and 19th century England, mercury was used in the production of felt, which was commonly used in the hat-making trade at the time. Long-term use of mercury products often resulted in mercury poisoning-induced erethism among hat-makers.[1][2] In the late 19th-century United States, a notable example occurred in Danbury, Connecticut, where hat making was a major industry. Instances of erethism were so widespread among hat-makers, the condition became known locally as the "Danbury Shakes." It was characterized by slurred speech, tremors, stumbling, and in extreme cases hallucinations.
