These kind of apps should be flat rate, else the incentive is for the best matches to be hidden, waste their time, or otherwise keep people lonely so they pay for more months.

Not just a small phone, but an ergonomically shaped phone is missing from the market. It would be great to have devices again that you can cradle in your hand and slip into a small pocket. Thin slabs are nice on a display shelf, but they aren't human-centered. Give me a phone with a curved and grippy back and a 5.x inch display.

There are a lot of instances where the Enterprise crew wanted to do the ethical thing, and Picard stops it or tries to. For example, when Dr. Crusher wanted to help when that planet population was addicted to drugs, and Picard wouldn't let her do that or communicate anything to them.

Also, Data once found humans frozen in space, and when he helped them, Picard was annoyed; it wasn't even a Prime Directive issue!

I believe the route was planned such that wherever you go, the weather was nice. It sounded amazing to me: travel the world, no home maintenance, no car maintenance, no commuting, no packing/unpacking, food included.

I wonder why they're doing this.

I was really looking forward to the Balmuda phone, but it also disappeared from the market https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/meet-this-unique-compact-android-phone-from-a-japanese-toaster-company/

I'd like to see a more ergonomic phone; it's time to evolve from just a thin slab.

Is a forum site a possibility? I honestly miss internet forums. It does kind of sound like what you're looking for beehaw to be.

Here's a link to the actual analysis: https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/the-wi-gops-doomsday-plan-for-2024

So what is this made of if not lithium?

The one that irrationally bugged me was when Tripp told the captain that he lowered the chair by 1cm, and the chair was still too high for everyone who sat there.. I know it's not supposed to be noticable but I could tell somehow that it wasn't lowered at all

Haha yes it's overall very long, but the section on this specific question isn't too long, just 3 pages.

Brookings did a long but very readable analysis about why this won't work: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/11122022_GA_Investigation_Report_SecondEdition.pdf

There's been a big price jump in their add-ons. Deluxe is $7.99 and audit defense is $19.99 (used to be included in deluxe, which was even a bit less)

I saw an argument that the "necessary and proper" clause in Article I, Section 8 lays out the authority quite nicely:

Congress has the power "to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or any Department or Officer thereof".

Income taxes required a constitutional amendment (the 16th) to get past the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court would veto it as unconstitutional even if passed. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2019/12/17/787476334/is-a-wealth-tax-constitutional

This is unconstitutional and based on incorrect comprehension of the 14th amendment. Gaetz is specifically leaning on the "and subject to" part in "born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

However, this is clearly referring to exclude children born to diplomats who are not subject to jurisdiction because of diplomatic immunity. The exclusion does not apply to children born to undocumented immigrants.

This is a Kendall Roy move.

Being skeptical of Democrats is not a political agenda, but that's what these centrists run on. It's pathetic and achieves nothing

Warrants are required for U.S. Mail. Likewise, the government should not have warrantless access to all electronic communication. It's an outrageous position.
