These salary numbers are SO OLD. GS5 is like, 40k minimum?
The GS payscale is public data. GS is adjusted every year and each position is adjusted for the cost of living for the area. Each GS rank has "steps" which, most people start at step 1 and get raises based on yearly reviews
Here is the public listing for 2024: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/2024/general-schedule

Is this only good for ass cancer or will it have uses for other non-ass cancers?
I'm writing this reply not as a correction, but as advice from a native english speaker. The word "transvestite" has fallen out of use due to connotations (bigotry). I would use cross-dressing here, instead of transvestite. It's a word that USA-english speakers mostly avoiding using because there are less ambiguous ones (use transwoman/transman for trans people, use cross-dressing for cis people preforming a role/fetish).
Your choice of word was not incorrect, it has just fallen out of fashion.
Their wives also left them and they couldn't figure out why.
Lmao.
When a federal worker takes this buyout, the 8 months pay still comes out of the budget of whatever office/department they were employed by. So many of our federal institutions are already cash strapped right now due to funding cuts and straight up DOGE sabotage.
When these workers take the buyout, those facilities lose a worker and spend money for nothing out of their appropriated budgets.
I'd bet most of these people that have taken the buyout already earned their pentions. This isn't "saving" as much money as you think, it's just meant to break shit and its working.
Thank you for the thorough reply!
I'm not a website administrator so I'm out of the loop. Other ways to manage bots? Like what?
I didn't mean to imply it only came from trash food, I only intended to show one/two examples where associated cancer risk [edit: could be] correlated and not causal.
I am not saying microplastics are neutral. I am saying that the title of this article is clickbatey.
please read the article before panicking, this shit is mega complicated:
Brains of people with dementia had up to 10 times more MNPs than other brains but that doesn’t mean MNPs had caused dementia. The elevated rate was likely a result of damage to the blood-brain barrier from the neurodegenerative disease, the authors said.
The study didn’t find more plastic in the brains of older people with more lifetime exposure, suggesting the brain can clear itself of MNPs, Campen said.
however:
Previous studies have found microplastics associated with certain cancers, cardiovascular disease and harm to human reproductive, digestive and respiratory health.
although, if you're ingesting a lot of microplastics, maybe you are also ingesting a lot of other pollutants (or maybe you're just eating a ton of processed food, and this trash food has more microplastics in it), and the microplastics are correlated in this way.
Everyone knows those rules don't apply when youre dunking on the instances with opinions outside of the US state department's approved overton window.
NOAA will be dismantled first (or they will be forced to massage these numbers somehow)
