Player are taken off the field and giving medical checks for suspected concussion, tackles that were standard are now banned,
The NFL's we'll just ignore it
The NFL has mandatory injury checks (including for concussion) and banned dangerous types of tackles also.
There are lots of games that use an oval ball and don't wear helmets. All of those have made major moves over the last decades to reduce the likelihood of concussions by making certain moves illegal in the game, with significant penalties. Spear tackles, grabbing around the neck, dumping people head first, slamming the back of the head into the turf, etc.
So why doesn't American football do the same?
What exactly are you talking about? All those things ("Spear tackles, grabbing around the neck, dumping people head first, slamming the back of the head into the turf") are already illegal in American football, and result in on-field penalties plus financial penalties (fines or suspension) for the offending player.
It's insane that the routine expectation is for an 18 year old still in high school to commit to 5 figures of debt before they've even had their first real job (no, McD's doesn't count as a real job).
Is that really the expectation for all/most high schoolers, or is it a less common expectation that somehow people get fixated on? I have to hope that counselors/teachers take students' abilities and interests into account when suggesting a path.
Although for some students (ie- those bright+motivated enough to graduate and put the degree to good use), even a 5-figure debt is absolutely worth it as an investment on the future. (It definitely was for me.) Otherwise where will tomorrow's training-required professionals come from? I hate to imagine a world where only the well-to-do's children ever have the chance to have certain professions, while the vast majority are pre-destined to live then die in the same lower class they were born in.
Adams had resources to fight his cancer that the middle American can only dream of.
Expanding on that, Adams publicly asked the current president (and got the "On it!" reply) for personal help in getting a cancer treatment which his insurance had previously denied.
Which is a little ironic, considering today's conservatives' "self reliance" mantra on medical insurance and well-being.

Drones can crash on your roof or fly through your window, and then burn your house down with a lithium battery fire.
And delivery trucks can crash through the front of your house, and then burn your house down with the gasoline from an engine fire.
A human won't accidentally make up facts, cases, or sources. A human won't write summaries of things that don't exist. A human won't accidentally directly contradict a source while citing it.
Clearly you're not on social media. And you're not a politician.
Where nobody cares about whether a problem is actually solved. Only about who gets control of the millions of dollars allocated towards solving it.
This is in no way specific to California. Or to the United States, for that matter.
Was it a blanket indictment? I hope they will be cozy in prison, but the way law and order are handled now they might be in bed with powerful people.
You laugh, but now the case is all sewn up.
Humans are really, really good at looking at long term slow problems and solving them.
... About the only real world one that looks to be coming true is global warming, and even there we have made significant progress. Renewable energy sources are thriving.
What?!? Long term slow problems are the class we're spectacularly bad at solving! You mentioned global warming, not only are we not solving it (the average temp is rising faster than ever), but half of all Americans refuse to acknowledge that a problem even exists. Heck, our current president went out of his way to put barriers on renewable energy projects.
Massive wealth inequality? Situation is getting worse not better.
Insane prescription costs and medical bankrupcies? Situation is getting worse not better.
Race / religion / gender conflicts? Got better for a while, now the situation is getting worse.
General health of citizens? Got better for a while, now the head of Health and Human Services is anti-vaccine, and has pushed policy to force us all in that direction.
(disclaimer: I know this is a US-centric list, apologies to the rest of the world for my myopia. Hell, that might demonstrate another problem that won't ever be solved.)
A customer can also choose a £649 "lifetime" subscription, but that is tied to the car, not the individual. If you sell your car and buy another ID.3, you would have to pay the fee again.
I don't know, why wouldn't a "lifetime feature subscription" not be tied to the car? Should I expect a future, new car to automatically have features I had paid for on a previous car? What would be crappy is if the "lifetime" subscription goes away on the existing car if I sell it.
What would be worse is if VW didn't offer the option of a "lifetime" subscription to begin with. Think of a lifetime subscription as just a normal paid upgrade on a purchase, and seems pretty standard (to me, anyway).
Bicycle lanes are put in on main arteries with little thought as to how many people actually use them: In a city that experiences genuine winters when VERY few people actually use the bike lanes, it's more politics that dictates the extensive deployment of bike lanes on arteries, and less logic.
Are you saying bicycle lanes are a waste because they aren't used in the winter?
Sleeping with a thousand women versus getting bitten by hundreds of venomous snakes... hmm... yeah I'll go with the first option.
That depends, venomous snakes never try to
... claim they'll never bite someone else.
If you sleep with a thousand women, do you really have the high-ground to complain that *they're* sleeping with other people?
A Faraday bag with your phone would protect against tracking, because your phone will only be visible to the network when you are taking it out and making a phone call, which is much harder to track by monitoring the cell phone towers, and also shortens the time window for trying to sneakingly get into the phone.
Wouldn't this have the same effectiveness as putting our phone in airplane mode whenever you're not using it?
No skis take rocks like rental skis!
