Why don’t school buses have seatbelts?
School buses are designed in a compartmentalized fashion, that is the seats are close together with high backs, which keeps passengers relatively restrained in a crash, even without seat belts.

Baltimore restaurant owner drives 6 hours to Vermont to cook for a customer with lung cancer who wanted to eat her favorite dish before she died
Earlier this month, Brandon Jones, 37, wrote an email to Steve Chu, 30, a co-owner of two Ekiben restaurants in Baltimore, explaining that his mother-in-law had terminal cancer but had joked that the last thing she’d like to eat on her death bed was Ekiben’s tempura broccoli.

Confession of the Day
I am 31M and before I began BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) – I was a corporate climber, starting my career at 21 with the hustle mentality (6am to 8pm M-F and never switching off during COVID lockdowns).
