More Than 14 Million May Have Lost Health Coverage PopularResistance.Org

Nov 112020
 

In the latest analysis, researchers first tried to assess how many workers and dependents relied on job-based coverage as of March 2019. Then, using data from the Labor Department, they estimated how many workers lost jobs and how many of those had employer-based coverage.

The task Of ‘Sleepy Joe’ Is To Put Liberal America Right Back To Sleep PopularResistance.Org

Nov 072020
 

At birth, all of us begin a journey that offers opportunities either to grow – not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually – or to stagnate. The journey we undertake lasts a lifetime, but there are dozens of moments each day when we have a choice to make tiny incremental gains in experience, wisdom and compassion or to calcify through inertia, complacency and selfishness. No one can be engaged and receptive all the time.…

So here’s an interesting thing. Certain commit hashes are rapidly heading toward being illegal on Github. So, if you clone a git repo from somewhere else, you had better be wary of pushing it to Github. Because if it happened to contain one of those hashes, that could get you banned from Github. Which, as we know, is your resume. Now here’s another interesting thing. It’s entirely possible for me to add one of those…

Alma Bowman, a 54-year-old woman in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, was scheduled for deportation on Monday.

Enlarge (credit: Washington State Department of Agriculture) By now you’ve surely seen the pictures: A dozen humanoid forms encased in full-body, white nylon suits are working on scaffolding at the base of a saran-wrapped tree by the red glow of headlamps, one of them raising a plexiglass vacuum tube between its blue-gloved hands in triumph. Inside, 85 wasps, each the size of a human thumb, are piled against one another in cold-induced slumber. No, these…
