Huh. DTE’s outage map show fewer than 100k. Plus, it shows my neighborhood as being off and we never lost power so it seems like their map is an overestimate. (Except for flickering.)
Edit: never mind. DTE says 50k+ but when I click on it, it says 250k. 😖

Current outage map shows few than 100k still without power.

It’s not just “authoritarian parents” sending their kids to these places. These are desperate parents who don’t know how to help their troubled kids.
The problem is, these places sweet talk them into being whatever the parents want to see. There’s hippy dippy ones too. They can be just as dangerous and damaging to the kids locked up in them.
These are money making ventures. They prey on vulnerable parents just as much as they prey on vulnerable kids. (And they prey on those parents’ insurance companies.)

Exactly. Look at any teenager’s notebook. The name written over and over again on it is very often not their own.

Egads, you are right. 🫣
(I already was familiar with the story so interpreted it correctly but, yikes!!)

Take home message: kayaking is no joke. Looks all simple and fun but it can be really dangerous.
I feel awful for their kids. They just lost not just one but both of their parents. ☹️

Okay, even as a racist, what’s the point? Is it supposed to instill fear? Is it like giving someone the middle finger? Is it amusing to try to get away with something that’s not socially acceptable?
I seriously don’t get it. 🤷🏻♀️

What goes through someone’s head as they decide to do this??

I got a recall notice from my doctor Phillip magnets in their masks. (And I don’t even have a Phillips machine. 🤷🏻♀️)
I guess I’m lucky. I was diagnosed after the recall and got a resmed machine. 🤷🏻♀️
Overall, using the cpap is awful but better than no oxygen.

Actually, they are refusing the “extra steps” but refusing to swear an oath to some random dude in an entirely different country.

Yeah. That seems like police intervention is called for. The guy is having a psychotic break. It doesn’t seem like he should be allowed around his family right now.

Exactly. It’s kinda irresponsible to leave this article up without mentioning they’ve been recently seen.

Reply to Sale of late Egyptian President Sadat's passport in Texas sparks outrage among family by Neo2199
Seems like a private document that shouldn’t be allowed to be sold unless the seller can establish Sadat gave it to someone and said it was okay to sell it.
I get that’s he is (was) a public figure but that’s still a private document. I’d feel the same way about a birth certificate or medical records or an old driver’s license or whatever.
Seems like the only way it could come into someone other than the family’s possession is through nefarious means or accidental loss.
