I got the book too! Did you have any luck de-dacting the Rubber Ducky Room pages?

Article mentions nothing with regards to holding corporations accountable nor any plan or threat of action on the president’s part.

Say you did a study that discovered that folks who actively run are statistically unlikely to have respiratory issues. How much of that is because being physically active acts as a kind of preventative maintenance vs how much of that is a kind of self culling, where folks with respiratory issues are unlikely to seek exercise.

The end result is ultimately the same, but the mechanics behind why are different.

Is the wolves’ natural cancer resistance just kicking into over drive, or is natural selection happening?

The researchers discovered that Chernobyl wolves are exposed to upwards of 11.28 millirem of radiation every day for their entire lives - which is more than six times the legal safety limit for a human.

Ms Love found the wolves have altered immune systems similar to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment, but more significantly she also identified specific parts of the animals' genetic information that seemed resilient to increased cancer risk.

… I really dislike how headlines are designed, not to inform, but even to the opposite in the name of drawing clicks. I realize this isn’t on you, but more the AP, but still.

TL;DR The warning light FONT is too small.

We probably get our best look at penal rehabilitation in Lower Decks' "A Few Badgeys More"

We learn that Daystrom Institute has a facility dedicated to evil robots, but through therapy, and exploration of art, sports, and other hobbies and psych-evaluations they may earn parole, and from there re-enter society.

Peanut Hamper made it to parole, initially as a ruse, but actually ended up taking it seriously.

Agimus is lagging behind her, but also shows signs of sincere reform.

Honestly, while a lot of it was played for laughs, I really appreciated how it really was Star Trek's optimism at its peak. People can be reformed, and are not sentenced to life in a cubical if they are capable of earning it.

But car buyers' preferences have also shifted dramatically to larger trucks and SUVs in the past 10 years or so, and even more towards high-tech and comfort amenities in the form of cameras, sensors, radars and large infotainment screens," he said.

You can’t buy a smaller truck because the manufacturers lobbied that large trucks are exempt from stricter emissions and thus they don’t have to engineer a smaller, more efficient truck.

Does cruel and unusual punishment apply here?

My limited understanding of the topic is that ‘cruel but usual’ and ‘unusual but not cruel’ can invalidate the charge. And unfortunately, the mistreatment of the homeless could be seen as usual.

I empathize, but that’s like boycotting word or acrobat.
