I assume that OP isn't sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on.

Pulling your arm from under a pillow someone is using seems very likely to disturb them and wake them. You're not doing that, OP, right?

I can't imagine that you can get out of bed without waking your wife if your smartwatch vibrating wakes her up.

By that logic, women are committing murder every time they menstruate.

An unfertilized egg is not the same thing as an embryo.

He was already a felon:

A not guilty plea was entered Monday on behalf of Tolbert, who also faces one count each of felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, lying to a peace officer in a violent crime investigation and four counts of felony firearm, Potbury said.

He said Tolbert is barred from possessing firearms and ammunition because he has multiple firearms-related felony convictions and drug-related convictions.

I just don’t understand the US and the 2nd.

It is complicated and a lot of people are ignorant.

The most sold vehicle in the USA are oversized pick-up …

I'd like to see the figures you're looking at. SUVs are usually counted as "light trucks", and manufacturers have killed off a lot of car lines and replaced them with SUVs.

More people are buying electric cars. Electric cars are heavier, and so are electric "light trucks". More electric cars on the road is going to push the average weight of vehicles on the roads upwards. Heavier cars take farther to stop and they aren't as nimble. Heavier vehicles are more likely to be involved in an accident, and accidents are going to be more severe.

The F-150 Lightning weighs 6,500 pounds (2,900 kg), over 35% more than the internal-combustion-engine (ICE) powered equivalent F-150, with most of the additional weight a result of the Lightning's 1,800 pounds (820 kg) battery. The F-150 Lightning was one of several electric vehicles cited by National Transportation Safety Board head Jennifer Homendy as being significantly heavier than ICE-powered models and thus raising the risk of other road users being killed or seriously injured in collisions, alongside products from other manufacturers such as General Motors and Volvo.

US official warns of risks posed by heavy electric vehicles
The official, Jennifer Homendy, raised the issue in a speech in Washington to the Transportation Research Board. She noted, by way of example, that an electric GMC Hummer weighs about 9,000 pounds (4,000 kilograms), with a battery pack that alone is 2,900 pounds (1,300 kilograms) — roughly the entire weight of a typical Honda Civic.

Millennials and Gen Zers are pulling in bigger paychecks, but much of their spending power is fueling short-term purchases like groceries and vacations, not savings.

...

Savings is not a purchase.

The Republican governor’s hand-picked board of education voted on Wednesday to replace the established course on the principles of sociology at its 12 public universities with its own US history curriculum, incorporating an “historically accurate account of America’s founding [and] the horrors of slavery”.

Where can I find details about this course?
