You can only pass an amendment with the agreement of the majority of the states, along with congress (both sides) passing it.

So, yes, Reich is correct, the more states that follow what he's written, the more likely it will cascade. There are already several states (some rather right-wing ones, too, funny enough) who have already passed such laws. I want to say it's like Wyoming, Idaho or one of the Dakotas.

Hyaluronic acid is added to creams and certain supplements because it helps with moisturizing of skin and lubrication of joints as well as reduction in wrinkles, which means it can "make things bigger"

It's produced by the body. The only way I can figure for testing purposes is if there's some baseline determined for normal body amounts and if someone tests for above that amount. I'm sure arguments could be made against the usefulness of such tests.

Replicators. This is how you get replicators!

This is what happens when you neglect to even do basic testing.

I worked in QA for a few years back in the 90s and it still boggles my mind how poorly things are left untested, even today.

Dont worry, its heavily paywalled.

With how often AI gets its wires crossed with data, this should be mandatory.

This sorta thing happens anyway, on a regular basis. I don't know if its AI driven or not, by my father-in-law has a common name and has gotten email in relation to things he has no connection to. My wife also has a semi-common name and for a while, was getting emails and calls regarding non-existent employment work on her linkedin.

So I would expect errors to be worse with AI and it needs to be held accountable seeing as people's lives are at stake.

are still better than Samsungs. I have a 7T Pro I bought at the end of 2019 that still almost runs fine. I've only noticed in the last month or so that the battery life is really starting to affect its use. That stability has outperformed any of the Samsungs I've had in previous years.

No, but they're both grifters who think they are smarter than anyone else on the planet.

Stripping the FCC of being able to levy fines renders the department pointless.

Woohoo! PIRATE RADIO EVERYWHERE!

It's also completely tone deaf that a rep suggested opening an account. Uhm, no?

Guessing OP was sarcasm and if it wasn't.. Oof.

My wife and her friend got text message alerts from Instagram saying someone was asking for a password reset a few days ago and I got an email yesterday... So now we know why.

I had the similar experience trying to sell something just as innocuous on Facebook Marketplace. It was either a walker or a wheelchair, I can't remember which, but FB claimed the item was against their rules, yet I could find similar items up for sale. Huh?

Unfortunately this is true about Facebook Marketplace taking over Craiglist list..

When I want to unload items for cheap, I often find myself selling through Facebook, although I do get responses on Craigslist. That reminds me, I've gotten so Pavlov'd into using Craigslist to give away "moving boxes" that I completely neglected to try Facebook. It also may explain why it takes a few days for someone to respond, when a few years ago I'd get three or four calls within hours of putting up the ad. (I live in Los Angeles, btw)

Mixed bag response .. I was an avid reader in high school (late 80s), but there was a lot of garbage and quality books I was forced to read. I don't recall hating Of Mice and Men, and the Pearl was depressing as fuck, but I didn't hate it. What I did hate was the Great Gatsby and The Scarlet Letter. Both are atrocious American literature. My wife, ten years younger, loves the Great Gatsby. It could be the fact that I had to read it through the whole symbolism lens, which ruined any potential enjoyment of it. Another book I had to read was To Kill A Mockingbird, and I absolutely love that book, as well.

While the whole time my preference was Science Fiction and Fantasy. I read through LoTR by the time I was 15, dove into a bunch of fluff Anthony's Xanth books, which I realize are just total fluff, but his Incarnations series was good.. I think? And then of course I got into "harder science" and reading, like Asimov and Herbert as I got older and into my late teens/early 20s.

I tend to agree that if give kids a chance to pick what they want to read, they'll find it far more interesting. Granted, I probably wouldn't have ever read To Kill a Mockingbird on my own, so there is something to be said about that, as well.
