Granted. Their butt cheeks swell while needing to poop, but don't shrink after pooping. You can now tell who has held in their poops for longer periods of time on their life from their swollen buttocks.

Not doubting if this was bad, but wanted to see if they commented as to the scale of the problem sin e they just state "of some Americans" in headline (and they do!):
Kashtan and colleagues estimate that the average total residential long-term NO2 exposure across the U.S. is 24 percent lower for people with electric stoves, which do not emit NO2.
The average American’s exposure to NO2 exceeds the World Health Organization’s recommended levels. However, approximately 22 million Americans would fall below the WHO-recommended limit if they stopped cooking with gas or cut back their use of it, Kashtan said.
I like the general analogy, but the author's case seems to be that there are evil crooks at all income/wealth levels, but there are also good people at all income/wealth levels and so we shouldn't demonize (and tax?) people based on income/wealth alone.
I guess that's a logical argument that could stand in its own merits, but it seems to be missing out on some important facts about the real world.
Like, I'm really not sure what he's getting at nor who he thinking is deeming (moderate) profits to be bad / undesirable at a society level? This feels like something I would have written right after reading Ayn Rand's works in college: lots of pronouncements about the righteousness of hard and smart work without having seen how the systems of the world work in reality.
Ugh, yeah that is a frustrating part of any discussion I have with a lot of people I know IRL: they seem to think of it in an "exclusive or" (one or the other but not both) mindset.
In my most humble of opinions, we need to be doing classic nuclear, renewables, and SMRs (and as pipe-dream-ish as it might be, research into nuclear fusion) all at once. Oh, and let's not forget the mass-scale grid storage.
Would that be a hella expensive investments? Yes, but worth it in the long run.
Look, I hate fossil fuels as much as the next guy, but am missing why this article is pitching nuclear as a bad idea.
As I understand it, the coal and natural gas plants that have been decommissions still have millions of dollars per site of mostly workable infrastructure (in the form of steam pipes, valves, turbines, etc) and Small Modular Reactors really seem a promising tech to make use of that infrastructure. They might be "unproven" (as the article claims), but its my understanding is that its mostly regulations and finding investors that have kept them from being built (since they need to be completely certified as a full nuclear reactor would be, which takes the better part of a decade to do, thus investment has been slow rolling).
The prospect of a small nuclear plant replacing Indian River as a base load provider seems a lot more promising than wind without properly built mass grid storage. I'm sad to see fossil fuels reemerging, but this lumping of nuclear with fossil fuels feels disingenuous.
Am I really missing something in all this?
As much as I abhor Reddit, they have a lot more active communities for military related questions. I expect they'll same is true for police. I think you'll have better results asking around over there.
If you really want to go military, "there's a waiver for everything" is a common saying (source: I did a stint in the Navy), so you can probably find a doctor who's willing to write a memo telling them your fit for service. I expect the police will will have similar policies.
If this has rekindled your hope for military, feel free to DM me. Lol, I've got lots of thoughts and can point you in directions on that end (not so much the police stuff) and don't want to wall of text too hard.
Good?
If your appeal requires everyone to have less information about what really went down, then I think were better off with you not having your appeal heard, no?
Well, he took it also to mean payment in the philosophical sense. He was also fond of saying "you can pay with your wallet or you can pay with your clock". He had some extension of that to the effect of its worse when you have to pay with both, but I forget the wording (it didn't flow well).
Yeah, I had a boss once who's favorite saying was:
"You don't always get what you pay for
But you never get what you don't pay for"
Not any authoritative recommendations. I'm at most a casual user of VPNs, and so long as I see the traffic getting encrypted, don't think about it much more.
I always hear Mullvad is great for maximizing privacy. Never tried them myself though.
Personally, I use Proton. I was prepping to jump ship earlier this year, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it. I've had a pretty decent experience with them. The only issue was on on a Linux machine...Uh....and it was minor enough and long ago enough that I don't even remember what it was?
See above for my dissatisfying experience with Surf shark.
I did try to sign up with ExpressVPN many years ago. They're payment portal was busted (tried every day for a week, emailed support with no response).
That about sums up my experience.
On the one hand, it sucks that sometimes really bad people who've done really bad things go free because of a seemingly minor technicality.
On the other, there's a set process to help keep the law fair. Miranda rights and the need to voice them to suspects when they're arrested exist because police will totally take advantage of arrestees, and because police have acted unethically towards ignorant people who don't know what rights they retain when arrested.
I'm confident Luigi didn't need a reminder of his rights when arrested, but if the cops really thought they were arresting the killer of that United Health CEO, then there's no excuse for them not bringing their A-game with how high profile it was all bound to be. It'd be really embarrassing for them if they missed that tiny detail.
