Flip 5, love the form factor and haven't had any screen or hinge problems. The crease doesn't bother me, but I do wish the battery life were better (though it's not much different than my phone before it).

Yeah if that's all that needed replacing. The entire system is ancient, not just the disks, like:

Much more critical than the dated use of floppy disks is the system's loop cable, which transmits data between the central servers and the trains and, according to Roccaforte, "has less bandwidth than an old AOL dial-up modem."

The SFMTA's website adds:

The loop cable is fragile and easily disturbed. This makes subway maintenance more difficult. This also means the system cannot be extended outside the subway, along surface rail, where currently we don’t have automatic train control.

Got it, giving an opinion that someone should not be invited to speak at a specific location is apparently not an expression of free speech, it's suppression of free speech. Just like how if someone comes up to you on the street and starts yelling in your face, it'd be suppression of speech for you to ask them to do that somewhere else.

You're literally claiming things that are not true. Voicing your opinion against a prospective (as in it hasn't even happened) action by the Speaker of the House is a right afforded to everyone, including representatives. Speaking against something is not perversely somehow suppressing speech. Saying someone is not allowed to speak against something is suppressing of speech.

You have not explained your reasoning at all on how saying they're against Netanyahu speaking in front of the House is subversion of free speech and not just those representatives exercising their own freedom of speech. That is exactly what freedom of speech is, the right for everyone in the US to voice their opinions.

In contrast, there is no right to speak in front of the House, especially not for a foreign politician. The Speaker can invite someone to speak, and if anyone physically interferes with the invitee's speaking or shouts over them, that would be a violation of House procedures, not any infringement on their freedom of speech. They would not have been silenced or punished. They would not have been gagged (physically or otherwise). They would still be able voice their opinions.

Actual examples of speech suppression would be searching and questioning pro-Palestinian journalists at the border, and arrests of peaceful non trespassing protestors.

That's because the book was not written in English. The translation preserves a lot of the cadence of the original Chinese writing. You may not be used to it, but that's not uncommon for translated works in general.

This is the worst misuse of this meme format I've ever seen. It would've been so easy to do the right format too:

Is my legal case so incredibly weak?

No, it's my lawyers who are incompetent.

Or you know, just an older person going "Kids these days". It's a much more likely explanation considering Jodie Foster has been working in Hollywood since she was a child, and people that are actually hard to get with would have gotten soft blacklisted long, especially a non-AAA star.

Try installing https://moonlight-stream.org/ on the Steam Link. Uses Nvidia's GeForce Experience to stream from your PC; works a lot better in my experience.

Have you tried Moonlight? It's an open source streaming alternative software that you can install on Steam Links, streams using Nvidia's GeForce Experience as the broadcasting part and Moonlight receives it.

I don't dislike all the changes but the removal of the left swipe gesture to access current channel information and pinned message is a huge negative change to me.
