This is talking about household formation. Basically, the rate at which a population creates people who will demand housing. How they obtain that housing is not a data point. It's just basically a question of "do you want a place to call your own?" Which is why this article is so full of shit. It's basically indicating that "if millennials just stopped demanding housing, prices would go down."

So if a millennial is sitting there in their parent's house and going "fuck this, I'm getting an apartment", that's increasing this value. They don't actually need to buy a house, they could rent it, that would still be forming a new household.

It just begs the question of what the fuck is this author trying to get at? Should millennial's parents have been fucking less? Should millennial's just build a single house commune? Should millennial's just start offing themselves? This article is a giant pile of boomer bullshit.

to tweak a chicken gene that is responsible for producing the protein ANP32A

The authors identified two other related proteins, ANP32B and ANP32E, that they think would prevent virus replication

Yeah you cannot just keep taking out Phosphoprotein 32 from an animal. It's literally used widely by the body (human and chicken) to prevent tumors from growing.

For broiler chickens, which live only eight to 12 weeks before they are slaughtered, the health effects of gene editing may not have time to manifest

This is like that modern problems require modern solutions meme. Chickens developing cancer too quickly? Just kill them off faster. I mean, I guess that'll technically work, I leave the ethical discussion to the vegans out there. But yeah, hauling out ANP32's various families, you're going to get chickens that have a lot of knotty meat.

But laying chickens are kept commercially for two to three years

CHUCKLES Oh yeah, you absolutely could not do this for them. LOL. That would be an unspeakable horror.

This disease is so prevalent and so important that any strategies that we can bring together to help protect the health of the birds is, in my view, very good

And she's not wrong. Avian flu isn't some shit we need to be playing around with. It's something we should be taking an active role on. I'd vote perhaps better facilities for housing the chickens and better care compared to the conditions most chicken live in today, the vegans might indicate dropping chicken altogether, and these folks have a "creative" to say the least, way of tackling it. There might be some middle ground somewhere in there, but the more important thing is we really need to get on top of this avian flu bullshit and I, for one, am open to ideas that aim for that goal reasonably.

Agree to disagree. I find the Kamala Kahn character to be an effervescent relief to a series that's taking itself way too seriously or trying too hard for slap stick. Does that make this particular movie great? No. The movie itself is a pretty flimsy plot. The main trope of the movie is someone makes a mistake, the group comes together to resolve the mistake, and develop themselves during that resolution. So with that said, it's not really good at delivering that, it's not Trolls bad (the original one which the plot sucks, the music is quite good) but yeah there was a lot of room for lots of character development that was just not included in what was delivered. To me the movie pulled its punches on what it could have delivered.

But in these kinds of tropes you see classic character stereotype traits, in this case Kamala Kahn plays the lighthearted comedic foil and does so quite well through the movie. Needless to say the Captain Marvel character is our person who brings the conflict to be resolved and towards the end you are left with a pretty unsatisfying result. Like the issue is indeed resolved, but it's about as exciting as how I might feel when I've completed my taxes. Hooray, I got that done. Maria Rambeau is our power character consistently pushing the accelerator for the characters to resolve the matter. And she's pretty good at it, but there was absolutely more opportunity for her to flesh that out that they kept sacking her personal past to keep that in check. Which at some point one might go, yeah we get it, she's troubled and doesn't want to talk about it. There's a degree of too much "I'm the aloof character in this movie". I will say the final fight scene is actually good for the level of just skirting the level of frenetic and follow-ability. I've gotten to a point where I just tune out superhero fights when it just becomes a lightshow and camera pandemonium (ala the most recent Ant Man movie).

Like I said, it's not a horrible movie. I went to the 10am showing of it on Friday (with one other friend) and that was $40 and that's where I would say "Do NOT go see this movie for $40". But I really enjoy the Kamala Kahn character and the level of energy the actress brings to the character. It reminds me a bit of how bubbly my twenty-two year old niece is sometimes and that serves as a nice refresher given the backdrop of generally everything else. So, I will acquiescence, there's a likely bias on my part for the character.

Again, absolutely not disagreeing with your position on the character. I think Marvel (and this touches just every so slightly on the superhero saturation) has gotten so big that not every character is going to be widely welcomed by everyone. I think there's a point that the Marvel Superhero movies get so numerous that you have to start considering sub-genres for the movies. And perhaps Marvel should pull back a bit on the distribution (it's their ship ultimately to sail and sink if need be). But I really enjoyed the Kamala Kahn character in the same way that I enjoyed the Katy character from the Shang-Chi movie. I good comedic foil is like pepper, you need just enough to flavor the food and not too much to over power the food and both of those characters have carried that role quite well thus far. But like anything, Disney has every chance to run that straight into the ground.

So just my two cents.

You're right, it's 18 USC § 922 (n) that covers the other way around.

(n) It shall be unlawful for any person who is under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm or ammunition or receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

I totally got ahead of myself pasting the related law. Thank you for your keen eyes.

18 USC § 922 (d)(1)

(d) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person, including as a juvenile

(1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year

For those wondering.

EDIT: This is incorrect. It is 18 USC § 922 (n) as indicated by my reply to @Neato and thanks to them for pointing out my error.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away

Absolutely STOP. Do not go with Linux, go with what you are comfortable with. If this is business, you do not have time to be uncomfortable and the learning curve to ramp up to ANY new OS and be productive is something that's just a non-negotiable kind of thing.

If you've never used Linux, play with Linux first on personal time. For business time, use what you know works first and foremost.

All OSes are tools. You do not just learn a tool when your job is waiting for a bed frame to be made or whatever.

TL;DR

If you are not comfortable with Linux, do NOT use it for business.

Without yet another amendment, how exactly does the Assembly, the legislative branch of Ohio’s government, intend to strip jurisdiction from the Ohio Supreme Court, the judicial branch of Ohio’s government?

The State’s Constitution establishes the jurisdiction for the high court and separation of powers prevent tampering.

Here are the answers you're allowed to choose from:

  • I don’t want OneDrive running all the time
  • I don’t know what OneDrive is
  • I don’t use OneDrive
  • I’m trying to fix a problem with OneDrive
  • I’m trying to speed up my computer
  • I get too many notifications
  • Other

I'm going with Other and in the text box I'm telling Microsoft ' SELECT * FROM sys.database_role_members-- and going from there.

It’s obvious. The paperwork in question was for a loan. Everything written in that paperwork is to induce lending.

Yeah we're past the question of was Trump's personal guaranty full of shit. Judge Engoron already established, yes, it was indeed full of shit. The point is to the degree which dictates the State's remedy, and there's like five or six other allegations, I lost count, but those are points the DA is touching on, on the way out here. But the main sticking point is done deal and now we're just measuring how high the pile of shit is. It appears to be quite the impressive stack.

The whole testimony that Ivanka put forward in that she was looking to negotiate a reduction in the asset requirement because she had concerns about the asset requirements. Really hits home that they were all very aware of how for shit the guaranty was towards Deutsche Bank. It's like that SNL skit Coffee Talk, "Trump's personal guaranty was neither personal nor a guaranty! Talk amongst yourselves."

Trump's admission, which mind you the parts I read made me think about that part in the movie The Big Short where he asks "Why are they Confessing?" and gets the reply of "They're not confessing, they're bragging", on the stand the other day just basically showed that Trump attempting to put realistic expectations on his evaluations was just never going to be a part of who Trump IS. It basically establishes Trump as this person who just does not have this "ability to self evaluate in a reasonable manner" and that his goals for inducing lending overrode everything including very clear warnings about not being that level of self destructive.

Basically, at some point, a driver drives through enough signs indicating the bridge is out that it no longer is the bridge builder's problem. That is what all of this establishes for the Judge. The bank lending to an idiot is one thing, but the bank lending to someone who has multiple people vouching for him, but are only vouching for him because he has indicated that they must despite everything that they have told him, is completely different. It stops being the responsibility of the bank after some point.

We all have to remember that since there is no jury in this case we rely on factual findings for what will absolutely be brought up in an almost certain appeal. So the "nice to haves" do matter in that it lays pretty solid groundwork for Judge Engoron to back up what will almost assuredly be him giving the cake to the New York DA to Trump's chagrin.

Speaker Johnson often repeats this mantra in interviews and podcasts; he is fond of quipping that democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner.

Yes, so the entire point here is that; to prevent basically a majority subjugate the minority we have two parts. Fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution and a Judicial system that ensures least harm. Ohio has indicated an amendment to the Constitution that prevents Government intervention into reproductive health. That is, Ohio has indicated that reproductive health rights deserve the exact same protection that say free speech deserves.

A free society is allowed to dictate what rises to a fundamental right for the people. Additionally, it is up to the judicial system to implement that right in a manner that poses the least harm. If some Christian does not want an abortion, no judge will impose it upon them. That is the means of least harm. But likewise, it means that a Judge cannot invalidate that fundamental right in a manner that causes more harm. Random Christians cannot impose their religious beliefs onto someone else, that is pretty grave harm.

And all these religious nut jobs wonder why their pews are becoming more and more empty? The liberals aren't running anyone out of the church, it's the rapist priest, the abuse of power, and the implementation of other's world views onto those who do not agree that runs the people out of the church.

The biggest harm to the church and Christianity at the current moment is Christians themselves. There's zero evidentiary nature in what they are attempting to do that shows them of some organization that wishes to spread good will. Instead they come off as vindictive and bitter. No one wants to be around that bullshit.
