Florida set to become second state to ban fluoride in public water in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] ProfessorPeregrine@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Some public water naturally has flouride in it without adding it. IIRC it was high flouride well water in Colorado that revealed its benefits You can also use flouride rinses or just not rinse after brushing. This doesn't help kids though, which as I understand it are the primary beneficiaries of flouride in waterr.

Judge says deportation of Maryland man to an El Salvador prison was 'wholly lawless' in c/news@lemmy.world

Of course it is, along with the Administration ignoring a judge's order. The point is that this DOJ will not prosecute it. AG Bondi had made that clear.

Exactly who are you thinking would bring criminal charges? The DOJ certainly won't. His family might get some sort of civil judgement. Possibly a civil rights case filed with a state?

It can also be EXTREMELY long code to do something relatively simple. I bounce between base and ggplot, and use ggh4x for some oddly difficult stuff in ggplot.

The guy behind Wing Commander (and my favorite game of all time, Privateer) has a mission based space flight game out next year. You can see the first hour of gameplay here: https://youtu.be/1H-0x4xk2Xk

Silly, now you've broken the law in Florida because you've talked about climate change. That and signing petitions will get you a visit from the police! Totally normal state governmental functions.

Widdershins. It means counter to the sun's direction , and was seen as inauspicious. Counter-clockwise, before clocks.

Ad firm plans to use people’s data in a maneuver to sink data privacy bill (www.politico.com)
 

Internal emails highlight how an advertising company can use its in-house resources to oppose public policy proposals.

One of the world’s largest advertising firms is crafting a campaign to thwart a California bill intended to enhance people’s control over the data that companies collect on them.

According to emails obtained by POLITICO, the Interpublic Group is coordinating an effort against a bill that would make it easier for people to request that data brokers — firms that collect and sell personal information — delete their dossiers.

Judge Chutkan says Trump’s right to free speech in January 6 case is ‘not absolute’ (www.cnn.com)
 

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that she plans to put serious limits over how sensitive evidence is handled in the Donald Trump 2020 election interference case, in a dramatic hearing Friday in Washington, DC, that could set the tone for the upcoming trial.

The former president has a right to free speech, but that right is “not absolute,” Chutkan said. “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules.”
