Reply to TIL that the NFL made a committee to falsify information to cover up brain damage in their players by KirstenTillson
Concussions and sub-concussive trauma both cause short term damage to the brain, but they may also result in long term damage such as CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. https://youtu.be/k7BdLyB-Duc

My husband works for FedEx and they ship live animals. Bees, fish, lobsters, reptiles. He told me a story of one poor driver who had a box full of 100 anoles break open inside the truck.

Got a call once from a very scared sounding postal worker. They were at a sorting facility about an hour away near a major hub and told me my bee shipments was damaged and bees were loose and that I need to come get them.
We raced there expecting bees flying everywhere, but of course the box was fine and still sealed, but 50-100 bees were hanging onto the outside of the box at the bee yard and just stayed part of the swarm. The lady must have really just not liked bees or had disturbed them for a moment because you almost always get a few free-bees on packages, though that was a lot.

This is why I don't watch anymore. Don't want my kids playing football either. I mean if they really want to I will be supportive, but I am trying to expose them to different things.

We get baby chicks and ducklings a few times a week in my office. We pull them off the trucks right away and take them inside and usually the box has a customer phone so we call them to come and get them.

Odd how all that revenue hasn't enabled them to replace the aging fleet of LLV's to better the working condition of postal carriers and accommodate the 100+ Amazon packages in the back.

They’re so neutral they won’t chance offending their own cities.

Their tax exemption status is a great example of people hearing something, not checking any details, and then repeating what they think like they are CPAs.
>Are they still tax exempt?
You could have spent 0.001 seconds on Google and gotten your answer.
>If so, that exemption should end immediately
Since you don't even know if it is still in place, it is good to know you have an informed opinion on it.

We got a call the second they opened. “Please get your chicks, the peeping is driving us insane.”

Reply to comment by Candid_Difference227 in TIL Switzerland has no official capital city by OlinKirkland
South Africa is also legally pretty vague about its capitals. There is no law that says Pretoria is the executive capital, or that Bloemfontein is the judicial capital. There is a law that says Cape Town is the seat of parliament, without using the word “capital”.
