I've owned 5. Z Flip, Z Flip 3, Z Flip 4 (x2) and Z Flip 5. Every one prior to the 5 is great. The 5 and later are terrible because the external screen got too big, defeating the purpose of a folding phone: durability. My original only died about a month ago after years of use. It was subjected to countless drops by hospital staff during a 5 week hospital stay. Still worked until the screen shorted along the fold line. I've recommended phones prior to the 5 here multiple times. My original was replaced by a second 4.

People did complain and I'm one of them. Entrances and exits to National Parks and National Forests now have cameras at their entrances to record visitors entering and leaving via a vehicle on a road. The only private way to enter such parks now is by foot.

I don't support people moving to the US illegally, but I also don't support this policy. While it can be used for enforcement, it is clearly unconstitutional. I don't understand why police departments think they can get away with stuff like that even know it will be overturned by the courts. On the surface I think that law enforcement agencies should be fined for this kind of activity with the money coming directly out of their budgets so that agencies get the message, but if that's done, it is us, the tax payers that end up footing the bill, either via a tax increase or poor police response.

Some believe that the 2020 election was rigged via mail-in ballots. I'm not one of them. However, I do believe that the opportunity was there. I also believe that limited law enforcement on-site was also an issue. It's also documented that Pelosi blew off Trump's warning and that the Capitol Police were ill equipped to handle the actions of the Proud Boys, every one of them who attempted to break in should still be in jail. I also, from clear video evidence, see that most people inside there saw things as more of a tour of the Capitol than an insurrection once inside.

Good for you, seriously. I did 100 lbs in total, but with ups and downs. I didn't do anything special, just the usual diet and exercise thing. I kept a log of what I ate and when. I didn't care what I ate, I just kept calorie counts. Now I can just do it internally now. Nature naturally got me to a point where I just don't crave poor quality foods. It's a hill to climb for sure, but once you get there, it's really rewarding when you feel good nearly every morning. It's weird for me to look at pictures of myself from days of yore and see this giant fat ass that would become relatively reasonable in size and go long distance running 3x per week.

Once CEO once mentioned that he can make money on a bunch of rich people by having high prices or make money on millions by keeping costs low. It seems his message was lost. Henry Ford once capitulated on a strike because he realized that if he gave in, his workers could afford his cars and would likely buy them. That lesson has been lost in the modern US economy.

You're on the right track. Add a cell phone ban. You could make sure the computer lab doesn't have access to the internet and that papers are printed on the local computer, say a dot matrix or a hidden mark that tells you that the paper was printed on one of the schools computers. Basically, the same process that printer manufacturers use. It's so nice that I use black and white printers from before the current era.
