I'm flattered, thanks!

How do you establish competency when the people you are measuring are the people putting the test on, grading it, choosing its metrics, and who define competency as “the thing Im doing right now, thank you very much”?

So we don't have ANYONE under your arbitrary line with enough experience and power to set such competency standards? No one at all?

Youre arguing for a vapid

On second thought, fuck you.

OK.

I like the idea of competency being the deciding factor, but you do you.

Like nearly every single "both sides" argument in all of online history, this one fulfills one of these two roles:

• Detract from something good about Democrats
• Deflect from something shitty about Republicans

You'll nearly never see a "both sides" argument in the wild that does one of these things:

• Detract from something good about Republicans
• Deflect from something shitty about Democrats

You may draw your own conclusions from that, gentle reader.

Edit: Removed the hyperbole.

And yet you think an arbitrary age line is more reliable?

Don’t make policy based on outliers.

The way to avoid that, and to respect individual differences, is with standardized periodic testing, which I would support for sure.

One snippet out of a lengthy article.

Many experts consider figures provided by the ministry reliable, given its access, sources and accuracy in past statements.

“Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.”

Shakir said Human Rights Watch would not use figures provided by parties with “a propensity to misrepresent information.”

Why news outlets and the U.N. rely on Gaza’s Health Ministry for death tolls

And another:

Throughout four wars and numerous bloody skirmishes between Israel and Hamas, U.N. agencies have cited the Health Ministry’s death tolls in regular reports. The International Committee of the Red Cross and Palestinian Red Crescent also use the numbers.

In the aftermath of war, the U.N. humanitarian office has published final death tolls based on its own research into medical records.

In all cases the U.N.’s counts have largely been consistent with the Gaza Health Ministry’s, with small discrepancies.

— 2008 war: The ministry reported 1,440 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 1,385.

— 2014 war: The ministry reported 2,310 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 2,251.

— 2021 war: The ministry reported 260 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 256.

What is Gaza’s Ministry of Health and how does it calculate the war’s death toll?

I have only this to say to Fox, Hannity, and Republicans:

Actually I wondered that too.

Lifelong peanuts fan and I can't figure out who is Riker. Someone end my shame, please.

Edit: Is it Schroeder with black hair?

I was about to move from Plex to Emby when the whole controversy erupted, and I waited excitedly for it to be ready.

Switched as soon as it was viable and have not regretted it one time.

Thanks!

My objection was not at all serious, sorry if it sounded that way!

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Thanks, sorry for the misinterpretation!

Are you posting these links in reply to me because you think I am suggesting the homeless need to work harder?

You know their answer will be that the homeless just need to work harder.

Thanks!

Jax making a suicidal head-on collision with a semi? (and really poorly produced at that) What from the first season would tell me to expect that?
