#Jasper volunteer firefighter watches as home burns to the ground: ‘That fire was rolling’

So my chipmunk buddy thought my finger was a peanut today and bit me. I'm not gonna be handing the wildlife snacks anymore, just throw 'em or leave 'em places.

And online it says it's rare for chipmunks to have rabies, and in MO the last two people to die of rabies was in 2008 and 1959, so it's pretty rare.

So uhhh should I go get a rabies shot? 🥴

(See the issue is I live in the U.S. so any kind of medical thing costs hundreds of bucks.)
cobalt mastodon (AP)
would like to know what advice you get on whether to get the shot/s. I’d definitely stop feeding them from the hand. Ouch! Does it hurt like a cat bite?
@cobalt I mean the main driver for me was that rabies if fatal if not treated early. It's highly unlikely the chipmunk had rabies, but the stakes are high enough that I was feeling really anxious.

If it weren't like "oh once you get symptoms of rabies you're going to die" I probably would have stayed home and monitored it.

A question for my webdev friends:

I want to create a hamburger menu that kicks in on small screens, and does not move with page scrolling.

Is there a simple non-js way to achieve this ? I am using astro to generate HTML and CSS pages, and trying to keep it as static as possible.

#webdev #hamburgerMenu #webdesign #astrojs #astro #coding #html #css #javascript #js
Michael mastodon (AP)
In principle: Yes, but with limitations.

The basic trick is to use an (invisible) checkbox that's immediately before the hamburger menu. Then use the checkbox's :checked state as selector, to only show the menu content when the checkbox is checked, and a couple of labels to change the state of the checkbox.

Have a look here: https://jsfiddle.net/jcugzbsy/8/

(You'l need to add media queries to only show on small screens, as well as make the whole thing pretty, of course, but that's the basic functionality.)

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that "boneless chicken wings" need not be boneless.

The tortured argument -
- “boneless wings” refers to a cooking style
- it’s common knowledge that chickens have bones
- A boneless wing is not make from wings, hence the word boneless does not imply boneless.

I.e., corporations can decide what words mean. The ruling will make Thomas and Alitio proud.

3 judges are up for re-election this Nov - 2 Democrats and 1 Republican.

This reminds us of a case that went the other way on misleading product labels, where SCOTUS ruled against Coca-cola for calling their product "Pomegranate Blueberry" when it contained just 0.3% pomegranate juice and 0.2% blueberry juice.

A lawyer representing Coca-Cola argued that consumers aren't dumb enough to think that just because a juice is labeled "Pomegranate Blueberry" there will be lots of pomegranates and blueberries in it 🤦‍♀️

Note that one can reasonably argue that one should exercise caution when eating boneless chicken wings or boneless fish and not expect them to be 100% bone free.

But the majority of the court used some twisted logic based on parsing of words, rather than the common-sense argument. Also, it disallowed the case to go to a jury trial.

The dissent also noted that a warning label would be appropriate for such products.
