The deer are a legitimate problem that is not solved with hunting alone. "Not enough deer to hunt" is not a problem for the vast majority of people, because the goal is to drive the population down.
Even better, I suspect the cats are better at targeting the weaker ones, so the deer you do have left to hunt should tend to be bigger and healthier, even if there are fewer of them.

Reply to comment by ResponsibleExcuse727 in High beaming by ResponsibleExcuse727
Even factory LED headlights can be blinding if the road isn't flat. At some point, however, you'll reach a point where you hit the beam cutoff, so perhaps as you get closer to them, you simply hit the cutoff point such that they are no longer blinding?
Just playing devil's advocate, because I see way too many people either with high beams on when they shouldn't be on (some cars have different bulbs for high beams, so it is really easy to tell on some cars), or no headlights at all despite it being dark out. Funny enough I ran into both situations today, and they were both Honda Civics.

No offense here, but I'm going to go with the experts on this one.
> In 2016, the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group proposes the eastern coyote to be a separate species Canis oriens (Latin for "eastern canid") and with a common name of "coywolf" due to its morphologic and genetic distinctiveness.
I don't know your background, but I do know that these people know a lot more than I do, so I'm going to just go ahead and follow their lead.

> Coywolfs aren't real by the way
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_coyote
Eastern Coyotes (which is what we have around here) have both coyote and wolf parentage. To me that makes them a coywolf. Do you have a different meaning of coywolf?

Child labor laws don't apply because there are exemptions to the FLSA
> Minors under age 16 working in a business solely owned or operated by their parents or by persons standing in place of their parents, can work any time of day and for any number of hours. However, parents are prohibited from employing their child in manufacturing or mining or in any of the occupations declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor.

Reply to How's everyone getting by with our understaffed medical community? by funcktarts
I scheduled an appointment with a new primary care in January 2022. I was forced to do that after my previous practice decided I was no longer a patient of theirs for reasons I don't understand.
The appointment booked in January 2022 was for October 20th, 2022. On or about October 1st, I was told that new appointment was cancelled and I couldn't reschedule. I've been trying to see a doctor since 2021 for major depression related issues.
I've now given up trying to get a new primary care doctor, and it seems nobody at UVM will take patients without a referral from a primary care doctor, so no luck there.
I'll continue to get by without help because it appears that's the only option. I have insurance and an HSA, so money isn't an issue.
