In different states, police use cognitive aptitude tests such as the Wonderlic -- https://jobdescriptionandresumeexamples.com/10-important-fac... -- https://www.practice4me.com/lst-police-exam/ -- these are not strictly 'IQ' tests, but they're very similar.

The Wonderlic might as well be an IQ test (I'm using the term "general cognitive test").

The LST isn't; it's a domain-specific occupational exam.

If you find a place that (1) uses the Wonderlic and (2) has recently (like, not all the way back in 2000) claimed there was a high-end cut-off for applicants, you'll have disproven my claim. I don't think giving general cognitive tests to prospective police officers is common; this is why there are things like the LST, the PELLETB, and the POST.

In 1900, there was a major manure crisis in all large european and north american cities. The swarms of flies were inescapable.

Although certainly the new roads required by increased population caused disruption.

There's an outfit in DC that social engineers government buildings. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" ... "We've got chocolate cake!" "Oooo!!!"

If it would work in schools, please explain it to the K12 sysadmin forum https://reddit.com/r/k12sysadmin

Ha, we didn't mention K-12 but you read our minds. The YouTube problem I described with my daughter is exactly what every school deals with — block YouTube and you lose Khan Academy, allow it and kids are in Shorts all period. With Kite a sysadmin could say 'only show videos from subscribed channels' and suddenly YouTube becomes a curated learning tool. Will post on r/k12sysadmin — thanks for the nudge.

The "Young Patriots" in the 60s were a white far-left anticapitalist antiracist group, part of the Black Panthers' Rainbow Coalition. They flew the confederate flag. The Panthers were okay with it, go figure.

Maybe the Panthers were smart enough to accept the help without bothering about the flag.
