Not only that, even local cops can be totally worthless when they show up to an actual shooting. I remember that school shooting in Texas (I forget the city) where there was a lot of outrage that the local cops responded but didn’t go inside, instead waiting for some other cops (I think federal ones) to show up instead. Fat lot of good the school resource offices or the local cops did those kids.
Crabgrass is set in the past, no specific date have been given but based on clues in the strip mid-to-late 80s into early 90s is most likely. That was before cops in schools became a common thing.
You shouldn’t offer suggestions when you don’t know how a health condition works. All the artificial sweeteners are hard for the bowels to digest. As a result a single sugar-free soda can cause a major flare-up for people with IBS. Same for people with IBD, Chron’s disease, etc. Drinking them would make things worse.
As for tea, it’s high in oxalates, which contribute to kidney stone formation. Frequent calcium oxalate stone formers (the most common type) like me are not supposed to drink any tea. It would lead to more and bigger stones, again making things worse.
Not been quite that cold here, but has been getting down into the teens every night for the last several days. We don’t get that cold too often, thankfully. Is supposed to be a bit warmer tonight and a few more degrees warmer Friday night despite the predicted major storm that’s hitting then.
Yeah, I live in east Tennessee. We can get 100F+ days in summer along with nearly 100% humidity. You don’t want to go outside during the day on days like that if you can avoid it.
And Children’s Day in Japan is May 5th, part of the Golden Week holidays. So kids already have at least two holidays, while mothers and fathers only get one each. (Unless they’re also grandparents and you count grandparent’s day as a second one.)
I don’t think The Beatles fall into it, but there’s a whole genre for that called “bubblegum”. Per Wikipedia:
“Bubblegum (also called bubblegum pop) is pop music in a catchy and upbeat style that is marketed for children and adolescents. The term also refers to a more specific rock and pop subgenre, originating in the United States in the late 1960s, that evolved from garage rock, novelty songs, and the Brill Building sound, and which was also defined by its target demographic of preteens and young teenagers. The Archies’ 1969 hit “Sugar, Sugar” was a representative example that led to cartoon rock, a short-lived trend of Saturday-morning cartoon series that heavily featured pop rock songs in the bubblegum vein."
Since alternate universe Kevin and now his baby brother have beards, it’s sure looking like the mirror universe from Star Trek.
