At first I was going to say this, a gun range that has a liquor license. However they are doing it responsibly in that they have this:
@article said:The shooting and the drinking will be kept safely separated, Moran said. The range will scan customer driver's licenses so that after they leave the range for a drink they can't get back in.

Encouraging skin cancer in children.
But, NEISD spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor said sunscreen is considered a medication, something children need a doctor's note to have at school.
Because you need a â„ž to obtain it, of course...
Aubrey needs some re-education.
Then again, in related news...

The disease, caused by low levels of vitamin D generated in the body from sunshine and certain foods, had died out around 80 years ago but is now coming back.
Cases of rickets in children have occurred in northern England and Scotland where there are fewer months of the year with sufficient sunshine to obtain enough vitamin D but now doctors are seeing it on the South coast as well.
It is thought extensive use of sunscreen, children playing more time on computer games and TV rather than playing outside and a poor diet are to blame.

So how much sunscreen is enough sunscreen?
How about "Don't stay out for an hour" and "only apply when you stay out for more than an hour"?
I base that on my own experiences with sitting in the sun on my balcony.
Or sitting on my balcony in the sun. Take your pick. Both can be reinterpratated for jocular porpoises.

For people of pallor like us, you can't have too much sunscreen in a place like San Antonio, TX (the location of the story I posted). Northern England and Scotland (and the Netherlands) are a very different matter.

This is very latitude dependent, and that seems reasonable for where you are. If you did that in San Antonio, you'd end up quite burned.

That is some solar power.Maybe you could capture that.
Maybe you could use roads for that?

Using NSF supercomputers to mine bitcoins.
From here
@page 29-30 said:

The researcher misused over $150,000 in NSF-supported computer
usage at two universities to generate bitcoins valued between $8,000
and $10,000. Both universities determined that this was an unauthorized
use of their IT systems. The researcher asserted that he was conducting
tests on the computers, but neither university had authorized him to
conduct such tests -- both university reports noted that the researcher
accessed the computer systems remotely and may have taken steps to
conceal his activities, including accessing one supercomputer through a
mirror site in Europe.
The researcher’s access to all NSF-funded supercomputer resources
was terminated. In response to our recommendation, NSF suspended
the researcher government-wide.

Which is a lot of fun if you need to carry meds around with you (luckily the administration at my school was reasonable and didn't enforce all the record keeping technically required for me to keep insulin).

Mine was just kept in the nurse's office.

wow bureaucracy kills?

Policy tends to be: provide big list of records and then they will keep your insulin in the nurse's office for you to come and take when you need, which works but is annoying (and would be dangerous if you couldn't meet the paperwork requirement for some reason). I'm curious as to how policy would handle an insulin pump though as that requires you to have insulin in the pump, but no idea what it is as I didn't get a pump till long afterward.

I got a pump sophomore year of high school. It was pretty much the same, just had to keep the reservoirs instead of actual syringes in the nurse's office with the insulin.

So some kids stabbed another kid and blamed it on a character from a video game or something.
This has been all the local TV news has been talking about for the last week or so.
I just saw them complain about a video game including this video game character being promoted. Apparently it's a bad idea to promote a video game during the biggest video game conference of the year.

Oh no, my district's policy was that I was supposed to keep the insulin in the nurse's office. Syringes they didn't care about. Which is why the policy was even more stupid than normal.

Sounds like they're trying to control the bullets instead of the gun.

Of course they only figure this out AFTER he's mined $18k of BTC. I'm surprised they didn't lay criminal charges against the guy.

Police say that when they last checked in on the woman's room at a residential hotel, she was living with 300 rats in deplorable conditions.
Wow, it must be pretty bad if it was considered deplorable by a rat's standards.
