Was your client Mark Hamburg? Because lightroom was his baby.

That paper is just saying that, instead of putting everything in a box with a label, a more flexible approach would probably better serve patients. It doesn't suddenly invalidate an entire profession; in fact, it would do the exact opposite. Insurance companies and government agencies won't let the DSM go though.

Psychiatry is advancing quickly in our current era, so saying it's essentially a worthless profession is extremely short-sighted.

Do you not recycle anything else? We drink a decent amount of cans of soda per month, but most of our recycling is still paper and boxes. Having an extra step in recycling cans doesn't change the fact that we still have other recycling, so it wouldn't really be saving any money.

It's been years since I dealt with bottle returns and the amount you get back just never seemed worth the effort. I would much rather pay an extra $10/mo just to not have to ever go anywhere near a bottle return. When I was a kid, we'd just shove our cans in a bag until a random person would come knocking to ask if we had any cans.

We moved from OR to WA. Not having to keep our cans separate from the general recycling was liberating. We'd honestly given up on separating them out even before we moved just because they were a pain to deal with and not worth the time. They were still recycled, just through regular recycling.

And with municipal recycling in place, bottle deposits don't have a very significant impact in general. I think the difference that bottle deposits create is just that people who could use every cent are probably picking up cans that would be ignored otherwise.

I'm pretty sure my chemistry professor used this exact joke when explaining how to order things in ionic compounds. So I guess the joke works when you're explaining how not to do it.

It sounds like the shark was circling them since the husband saw it several times before swimming back to shore. Maybe his wife wandered far enough away that he didn't notice anything? I'm not actually sure how obvious it is when someone is attacked by a shark.

Another source says they did find part of a bathing suit as well as a snorkel set. Maybe they called off the search when they confirmed that the shark existed?
