Sorry if that wasn't clear. Obviously the nurses daughter! I'd be quite terrified if our school nurse had the mental functionality of a child providing nursing to children! Haha

This happened with a can of febreeze to our school nurse's child in elementary. Her daughter who was round 5 at the time decided to freshen up the room for company and did as she always had seen her mother, spray the can, but instead she unloaded the can, completely emptied it into their small dining room. She went unconscious and then required life support for several weeks.
Permanent brain damage to the point of essentially functioning as a child for the rest of her life.
Story scared the crap out of little 2nd grade me about aerosol cans.

You can just make em out from the summit of Tukhunuvitz. Wish I had more time in Utah. Absolutely magical place.

Reply to Ben & Jerry's owner may launch ice cream made from cow-free dairy | The potential rise of lab-grown milk could result in amazing advances in the world of ice cream by chrisdh79
I have had cow free ice cream. There's a company who started doing it through a contract with Stanford University out in CA.
They grow whey proteins in fermenting tanks, same they use in the brewing industry, with a modified yeast that creates it when fed sugar instead off alcohol. It's then blended into coconut fat and some other ingredients. It was surprisingly similar in flavor, just not 100% in the texture. They also make whey protein products for sports nutrition. The process used 1% of the water used to make the equivalent volume of milk and obviously instead of acres of feed or grazing grown for the cow, it was all done in a 20 BBL tank that's roughly the footprint of a car. Really cool stuff. Sorry blanking on the name!
Edit: Brave Robot is the name!

I remember talking to a park ranger around the Mt. Rainier area about whether the depleting glaciers on the volcano would increase the accumulation of magma beneath it as the downward pressure of the mountain decreases, he answered that one of the USGS researchers he talked to had suggested that was entirely possible, that it could raise the risk of eruption. Many volcanoes in the world are flanked by significant glacial formations, usually these are some of the more violent erupting volcanoes. If Mt. Rainier was to blow, the resulting lava flows would reach the city of Tacoma, WA within 30 minutes.
I wonder what other secondary and tertiary effects decreasing glaciers could have not just tied to water management issues (pray for those in the Himalayas flow), decreased luminosity causing additional heating, and of course loss of habitat.

So like, if your behavior is so unacceptable that you are banned from a public school, why do you still have a job in a position of authority?
If a student discharged a pepper spray canister into the bathroom sink exactly what would he be criminally charged with that this officer is not being?
