Hocking Hills is in the Appalachian part of Ohio. I grew up around there.

I'm gonna chime in to also recommend Etsy. There are a lot of great quality producers and not only craft-table-in-the-corner-hobbyists who sell things on Etsy. That would be the first place I'd look. Etsy product reviews are pretty reliable as well.
Aphantasia is the word for that
Making price per unit mandatory on all retail items sold would go a long way toward making shrinkflation transparent for the customer
So small children can't reach them.
Tell that to the healthy 45 year old father of two who I watched die in 2020.
How are we not done with these same old stale lies yet? Covid infections cause a greater increase in risk of myocarditis. I literally just had a guy in his 30s with post-viral myocarditis on my unit a couple weeks ago.
You know what strengthens your immune system against an evolving viral threat? Booster vaccines that teach your adaptive immune system how to fight that exact viral threat.
Eat healthy, exercise, make sure you maintain your vitamin D levels AND ALSO get the god damned vaccine please.
Oh, if you haven't heard Run The Jewels, you really should:
People's legs being in that position would negate what is considered a safe evacuation. Modern regulations stipulate that you have 90 seconds to get everyone off the plane safely with 50% of the emergency exits blocked. That's why you're required to be seated completely upright with your feet on the floor during takeoff and landing. So you can stand up immediately if anything goes wrong and you need to evacuate.
This accident is one of the reasons why that rule exists. We forget these things:
"It was then, just 90 seconds after the plane came to a stop, that the entire passenger cabin exploded in flame. An unstoppable wall of fire swept forward from the back of the plane, consuming everything in its path, painting every window in brilliant orange. Firefighters tried to fight it, but there was nothing they could do. Captain Cameron, who jumped from the window just seconds before the explosion, would be the last to leave the plane alive."
You don't design for the flight; you design for the evacuation. We learned that the hard way decades ago. This looks like it forgot all those lessons paid for by people's lives.
We need public hospitals.
We need public hospitals.
We need public hospitals again.
My hospital is not rural, but we are a small community, high-Medicaid population hospital. We've not been profitable 3 out of the past 5 years and the response from the (out-of-state) for-profit corporation has been to slash staff to such low levels that the nurses are finally unionizing.
We are a critical healthcare access point for our community. And that corporation has zero incentive to do what's right for my neighbors. Only the city, state, maybe federal governments have that incentive. We should be a government operation, not private. It's that simple.
Injecting medications into necks.
Medical things are rarely accurate, but Jesus this one is absolutely infuriating. There's no anatomy in a neck that you could even inject anything INTO. You're not aiming for a jugular vein on the fly and there's not enough tissue in a neck to receive an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. If your needle is too long, you're definitely hitting something critical. It's feasible that you could squirt medication into someone's trachea or esophagus or - god forbid - spine if you actually tried this nonsense.
Arms, people, ARMS. This is where we inject things into people who are not interested in receiving an injection. Arms or butts, right through the clothes. You're aiming for the deltoid muscle or the glutes. I'm even willing to concede the inaccuracy of a medication affecting someone instantly (they don't), if Hollywood would just stop having characters inject things into people's necks.
On our next episode of medical things that make me crazy: People getting shot through the shoulder with zero consequences.
