It happens accidentally from time to time. No big deal. But if one of you is sick and the other isn't then that's a pretty good transmission vector. So it's worth paying more attention in those situations.

What is the other sides' argument for why we SHOULD have billionaires?

They think they'll get a chance to bootstrap themselves into being one.

Sound like you need to look at artists in your are that do lettering, then! If your son has any particular hobbies or interests, incorporating some aspects of that around the lettering could be a nice touch.

Hard to give anonymous suggestions for something so personal and permanent. Since you already have tattoos you know how you tolerate the process. I would expect spine and collar have similar skin thickness and pain level. Only you can decide on full name vs initials. I think pain tolerance would be a big factor for that choice. Letter style? Black/Grayscale/Color? Do you need to be able to hide it under work clothes?

I don’t recall the department of Justice questioning the national injunctions legality at that time though, tbf.

That's all this ruling is about, whether a circuit court can issue a national injunction. I'm assuming that this specific question hasn't been asked to the SCOTUS before (because it's a stupid question that shouldn't have even been entertained). The EO is still enjoined in the jurisdiction of the circuit courts where a challenge to the EO has produced an injunction. So the EO itself is still going through the courts.

I know. But it is different overturning a 70 year old precedent set by judges who have all since died, versus overturning your own precedent set <5 years ago with all of the concurring judges still on the bench.

The ironic twist there is that insurance companies here should have good legal teams to go after someone else to cover it.

If something is unconstitutional then it’s unconstitutional.

Correct. But, perhaps sadly, I'm reminded of the scene in Pirates of the Caribbean when Will is complaining about rules and Jack says the only rules that matter are what a man can do and what a man can't do. The Constitution only matters if we have enough people willing and able to enforce it. And if the Trump administrations have taught us anything, it's that we need every fucking assumption to be litigated.

Well that's the thing with SCOTUS. You have to ask them to have an opinion on something. They probably wouldn't have had a problem with national injunctions under Biden if that authority had been challenged in court. And then we would have already had that precedent from literally the same judges for to rely on now.

good luck with getting the PT covered!

This is actually where Twitter was good. I would always get a better response with a public @ mention to the company on Twitter.

What are some Android tablet brands in the USA other than Google, Lenovo, and Samsung? I'm looking for a #5G tablet in the sub-$300 range and it's seeming like there's one Samsung, or several hundred random Chinese Amazon sellers that don't even have a brand name on the product listing.

Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to pull state funding after the City of San Marcos placed a resolution in support of a ceasefire in Gaza on its City Council agenda for Tuesday.

The resolution, proposed by council members Alyssa Garza and Amanda Rodriguez, calls for an “immediate, permanent and sustained ceasefire in occupied Palestine,” an “arms embargo on the state of Israel” and “recognition of Palestinian sovereignty and protection of constitutional rights.”

 

The study, conducted by Dr Demid Getik, explores how mental health is related to income make-up within couples by examining the link between annual income rises for women and the number of clinical mental health diagnoses over a set period of time.

The study finds that as more women take on the breadwinner role in the household, the number of mental health related incidences also increases.

As wives begin earning more than their husbands, the probability of receiving a mental health diagnosis increases by as much as 8% for all those observed in the study, but by as much as 11% for the men.

 

Lately when I forced to login to FaceBook they will sent a WhatsApp message to my phone number, even though I don't use WhatsApp. I'd like to see if there is really an account with my number. I tried going to the web client but it seems to be requiring to pair with a device app.

Up to one in four patients who are unresponsive after suffering serious brain injuries might actually still be conscious – indicating more patients may be aware of their surroundings than previously realized, new research suggests.

This state of 'hidden consciousness' is now officially known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), where cognitive (or thinking) abilities aren't connected to motor (or movement) abilities. Researchers have been looking into CMD for several years.

However, 62 percent of an additional 112 patients who were visibly responding to instructions at the bedside didn't exhibit the expected brain signals showing responsiveness – so the researchers suggest their methods still don't detect everyone with cognitive function.

 

As seen in the screenshot, there's a lot of wasted space in landscape mode on my tablet. I don't see this issue in the feed. I've only noticed it when viewing it editing posts and comments.

 

This would pair with the existing setting to use the in-app browser. The user would have to have enabled it in their chrome flags as shown in the screenshot.

 

I noticed my phone running a bit warm todayx.so checked the battery usage and Liftoff seemed be a bit high. Clicking on Liftoff from this screen, it set for Optimized usage. I have v0.10.10 installed from Play store.

I just can't even with this.

About 24 percent of polled Republicans say the charges in the classified documents investigation make them more likely to support Trump, while 21 percent said the same with regard to the 34-count indictment related to falsified business records in a Manhattan court case.

I mod a sports league community, and I was trying to put team logos in the description. But after the fourth one the editor would not upload any more. I tried saving and going back into the editor but it still wouldn't.

I was shrinking them down to 20x20 pixel png files, and I saved all the links to the ones I already uploaded so that if I can get this resolved I won't be re-uploading the same ones.

I was able to add more today, but again it stopped after a few. The 4 image refs in the editor was probably a coincidence vs the number of uploads, and I didn't count the number of uploads. So there is for sure some limiting happening, I'm just not sure what in specific. I wasn't able to add more using an incognito window either, so maybe it's a limit on uploads per day per IP.
