Read a random definition: intended child

A quick definition of Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: A law that says employers have to make sure their workplace is safe for their employees. They have to follow rules made by the government to keep workers from getting hurt or sick. This law applies to all states and territories in the United States and covers millions of workplaces and employees.

A more thorough explanation:

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) is a federal law that requires employers to provide a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. This means that employers must identify and eliminate any hazards that could cause serious harm or death to their workers. They must also follow safety standards set by the Secretary of Labor.

For example, if an employer operates a factory where workers are exposed to dangerous chemicals, they must provide protective gear and ensure that the chemicals are stored and handled safely. If an employer operates a construction site, they must provide safety equipment such as hard hats and harnesses, and ensure that workers are trained to use them properly.

OSHA applies to all employers in the United States, including those in Puerto Rico and other territories. It covers an estimated 5 million workplaces and 75 million employees.

@llama: There was one guy who did it successfully last year, I'll see if I can find the post for you. Absolutely not a normal practice though -- nor should it be!

20:52
Imagine if you were trying to apply to law school and half the seats were already taken by schmucks from last year's waitlist
20:52
@crabapple: I would LOL. Real shyster move tho, you rite.
20:53
@Arianq4: 1. Move. 2. Pursue other, non legal work, then take a year after UG to work if u wish
20:54
A shyster: is a person who is dishonest or unethical, especially in the practice of law. The term is often used as a derogatory term for lawyers. pinnacle word choice imo.
@crabapple: mich puts it out as an option and said in a waitlist session this year that they want to take more people than normal this way due to app volume
it makes sense for me because I got a new opportunity for a year and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask
was there a vandy wave today? seems like a small one

@ReadyThinWerewolf: Yeah, I mean you got like Berk this year that hasn't dipped under 3.6. Some are like that.
0:46
nm they dipped under for like idk 10 fucking people.
0:46
Yeah, if you dont have at least a 3.7 it means you fucked around and didn't try hard in undergrad.
0:48
Here we will do Yale. 3 people got in lower than a 3.75. So yeah, some schools are practically unreachable without some insane soft if you don't have a good gpa.
