IMHO, There is no point in talking about toilet and sh*t in India with the rest of the world.

I was trying to say that, one has to copy and paste the link in the browser to navigate, so it was not a hot-link.

"Once the President gives his assent to convert the bill into law, it will be illegal to employ labour for hazardous cleaning (manual cleaning without protective gear and other safety precautions) of a sewer or a septic tank. All insanitary toilets will also have to be dismantled."
Will they be replaced with more modern ones; or will people have to do without and crap behind bushes instead?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I bought a license for UltraEdit and FileLocator Pro for my new PC. Can't live without either of these.
Haven't touched VuePrint in a while and was glad to learn it is now free.
Next I wanted to get MathCad since I was quite proficient in it a decade ago and wanted to get back into it. Man that SW is expensive. Will have to put this purchase on hold.
SmartDraw was another great and cheap one when it first came out. Now it's a tad expensive. Luckily I don't have an urgent need for it and Visio is adequate.

About 1500€ here. MathCad is really expensive.

Once upon a time, they had different modules with separate prices. Now it seems you get everything you don't need for one fixed price.

Improper training, obviously.

Because guns are not locked up in a gun safe.
But then, what use is a gun in a safe when a burglar is inside your bedroom at night?

Sorry, didn't bother to read the article so I didn't know the incident occurred at a campground.

Well, is not my fault if you married a burglar.

You got that right!

Exactly!
Oddly enough, it's harder to get a gun license than a parent license, and that just doesn't make sense...

"Given the 3 million visitors we see here every year, there thankfully are very few fatalities reported in the park,"
Most of them are just quietly buried, so there's no paperwork.

We only have to bury the bits the bears leave, happily. And that consists mainly of a few buttons and buckles, and those fancy whistles they sell at the souvenir shop to scare away bears.

The poor child possibly had the bad luck to be born to irresponsible morons. It's not hard to safely secure a firearm, even in a campground, if the owner of that gun is a responsible, safety-minded person.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the parents and friends shoved the children into a tent, proceeded to sit around the campfire getting poo-faced drunk, and never with any thought about where the guns are stashed - quite likely in the babysitting tent. Or worse, perhaps, the owner of the gun wore it to bed, in the same tent as the child, and never felt it being lifted from the holster. Who knows the details? But it will be something similar, I'm certain.
To grant a bit of slack to the parents, though, bad things do happen to kids, quite often in fact. But only when a gun is involved does it make headlines... My little brother, for instance, was quite keen at that age on stuffing assorted objects into any available orifice of his body. He got birthday cards from the Emergency Room staff at the hospital, so regularly was he in residence to have something or other removed or cut off an appendage. Any of these items could have killed him, and few of them could have been prevented by our very responsible parents, but they happened, and nobody put them in the paper, or on TV, nor demanded that pussy willows be outlawed or licensed because kids might stuff them into small, easily infected orifices.
Luckily, none of these events killed him; it took a drunk driver to do that. Oddly enough, though 35 years have passed, no one has yet proposed to take away our automobiles, nor ban ethanol. Funny ol' thing, life...
