The bird on the left hand side is actually a shoebill, a fellow Pelecaniforme.
I love in-focus snoot photos

Even for work where sick days are unpaid, many businesses (especially small ones) are going to suffer having a worker missing. After all, workers are supposed to generate more revenue than their salary costs, so the excess value is still being lost when someone calls out sick.
Welcome to the party!
Some people here may be watching Star Trek for the first time.
Whatever do you mean? I've been under the distinct impression that all Star Trek fans came pre-installed with at least one TV/movie series already under their belt from watching it as a kid.
Anyway, I cannot watch this episode without also dwelling on DS9's Trials and Tribble-ations, and all the other additions to the franchise featuring the troublesome fuzzballs or references thereabouts. The Trouble with Tribbles such a dumb, silly episode, but it manages to hit enough of the right notes to be memorable and likeable. I find TOS a bit difficult to watch compared to basically everything that came after it, but I always enjoy TTwT.
I'm confused by this. I've never worked at a business that required (or was even interested in) a doctor's note when I was sick.
Why would I go to the doctor if I have any of the most common causes of sick days, like cold, flu, stomach upset, etc? They're not going to be able to do anything about it except take my temperature, confirm my described symptoms, and recommend fluids and rest. Meanwhile if I'm feeling too ill to go to work I'm going to feel too ill to go to the doctor, and being forced to go to the doctor instead of resting at home is only going to exacerbate the condition and potentially spread whatever I have to other patients at the doctor's office and on public transit (or do you want me behind the wheel in my condition?). Do y'all really have so much excess medical capacity that having people take up doctor time just for them to confirm "yup, sick" isn't a problem?
What happens when a company is like "this is dumb, we're not 'requiring' shit"? How is this even enforceable? Like, we all recognize this is overreach, but just from a practicality point of view how is any of this proposal feasible?
DDG has a browser?
This feels like Kamala all over again. Is it actually possible for a statewide caucus at this late hour?
very few zucchini
I was not under the impression such a thing was even possible!
All jokes aside, it's a wonderful feeling when last year's dud is this year's success. May the cucurbit gods continue to smile upon you.
I speak both of the languages in this comment and am still confused.
