In Pennsylvania, you have to involve your own insurance if you're in a car accident, even if you're not in a car.

My son was hit by a truck as he was walking across the street, and he had to give our insurance info to the hospital.

The video on the website talks about hiding cards where someone could find them.

I find that terrifying.

If we can see it, then the far-right Nationalist Christians can see it.

People who would bomb a Planned Parenthood clinic would think nothing of producing fake abortion cards and drugging or murdering women trying to give themselves an abortion.

I'm imagining a card prepared with an overdose of Tylenol on the cards instead of misoprostol.

How do you guarantee that the card you're using is legitimate?

Trump is going to prove that the President controls the price of groceries by enacting tariffs on imported food and getting rid of all the people who catch, raise, and harvest our food. He's going to make grocery prices go through the roof.

For a little while at least.

Because it's an economic issue, and the people who voted for Trump are just really, really stupid.

If we don't have free speech, how do we know what the asshole said?

The poll worker is the one who has been arrested. He sent the bomb threat to himself to try to make it look like the voter he had an altercation with sent it.

That's inaccurate.

Jill Stein was never an option and intended to help make what is happening in Gaza worse.

What bets? The article said "white supremacist ideology".

"He was never nice to the Obamas," said The Hill opinion writer Tara Dublin. "He also looks & sounds like he died last week but no one wants to tell him."

Looks, sounds, and by all accounts smells like he died last week.

I took Tuesday and Wednesday off.

Aside from voting, I have some other things to do on Tuesday.

Wednesday is reserved for just sitting and staring. Perhaps some rocking back and forth and curling up in the fetal position. I'll see how it goes.

Baby kangaroo (lemmy.world)

I have no idea what a kangaroo has to do with my employer, but they brought in a baby kangaroo for an event, so I waited in line to hold it.

We got Rose's test results back on Friday, and she's all better, so Rose and Daisy can be together again!

Edit: this is what things were like every day while they were separated:

We had to take Rose to the vet on Friday because she stopped eating hay and started having diarrhea.

Diagnosis: intestinal parasite and gas in her stomach.

She's on antiparasitic meds, antibiotics to prevent secondary infection, and a nutritional supplement to replace the hay she isn't eating.

She takes the tiny doses of the meds ok, but she's not a fan of the supplement.

We had a lot of trouble until we figured out how to get her burrito towel wrapped correctly.

She's starting to do better. More normal poops, started nibbling hay, and she stopped fighting the supplement.

Daisy and Rose are inconsolable because we had to separate them until Rose is all better.

The gateway between the pens is closed now and they keep pulling on it like they're trying to pull it open.

This is probably a stupid question, but if I want to add a line to a PDF telling people to direct any comments to my Lemmy account, how would I specify that?

Obviously teenager is 13-19.

"Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"?

If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?

It seemed like every time we visited WDW, there was some event or show taking place in front of Cinderella's Castle, and the interior was closed.

When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic.

I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed. I finally got the chance again last time, and I took some pictures.

Where has this guy been?

When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.

That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood.

Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.

I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips.

Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed?

Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?

Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?

I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message.

In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them.

Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?

What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite?

Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening.

When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch.

The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.
