Which one? The Elongated one?
That is quite an accomplishment!
The healthcare situation was no better? Lol ok
God what a stupid thing to say
Gov Shapiro, Gov Whitmire, Sen Kelly. The first two probably get their state off the contested map. I don't know if Kelly can deliver AZ.
That's not the point
There are easier and better ways to accrue power than running for President. Most candidates want to serve the country, trump obviously excluded.
That's not how any of this works. People with substance use disorders use drugs because their brains have literally changed from drug use, not just because "they're fun". People in later stages of addiction aren't having much fun, they're barely surviving. If we could just teach them to use moderately, that would be amazing.
In an ideal world we'd get people to stop using drugs entirely. Unfortunately, that's a tough goal to reach for many people. So we try to get them to use less, or differently (eg smoking instead of IV), so that they're less likely to die.
Because it makes for a more clickbaity headline

Nice try junior
I found a reddit thread suggesting deleting cache and data fixed the problem. Hope to help others avoid reddit if possible.

He reinstated himself?
Because they're weak and stupid
Some young people, some old people, some medium people. What a stupid headline. You can find "some people" that think anything.
I don't know wtf this idiot is on about, but look at his comments. He's lives in a different reality.
I see "brutally shot down", I think oh good. Then I see it's from Newsweek and I roll my eyes.

Does anyone know if the 15 hours is 15 hours of listening or 15 hours of audiobooks? In other words, if you listen at 2x speed, do you get 7.5 hours of listening or 30 hours of audiobooks?
Volvo’s EX30 has generated a lot of interest thanks to a killer combination of a charming crossover design and low starting price.

Sick of companies grabbing and selling your address, birth date, location, online activity, dog food brand and even adult-film preferences? Oh boy, do I have some good news. A new iPhone and Android app called Permission Slip makes it super simple to order companies to delete your personal information and secrets. Trying it saved me about 76 hours of work telling Ticketmaster, United, AT&T, CVS and 35 other companies to knock it off. Did I mention Permission Slip is free? And it’s made by an organization you can trust: the nonprofit Consumer Reports. I had a few hiccups testing it, but I’m telling everyone I know to use it. This is the privacy app all those snooping companies don’t want you to know about. (A surge of interest in Permission Slip has caused technical difficulties for Consumer Reports. If you can’t get on, try again later or reach out to their support line at permissionslip@cr.consumer.org.) Here’s how it works: Following California in 2020, a dozen states passed laws that finally gave Americans some digital privacy rights. They empower us to tell companies to stop selling and delete our data, but the truth is they’re pretty painful to take advantage of. You have to jump through hoops, going to each and every company that might have your data to fill out forms. Until now. Permission Slip acts behind the scenes as a legally “authorized agent” — kind of like your own privacy butler. You tell the app your name, email address(es) and phone number, and it does most of the work, sending emails and filling out paperwork on your behalf after it has verified your information. Even if your state isn’t one of the ones with a privacy law, most national companies respect these sorts of data privacy requests from all Americans. After using Permission Slip, most people notice a decrease in creepy targeted ads, says Ginny Fahs, who has been working on the app for the past three years at the Innovation Lab, a division of Consumer Reports. So how do you get started? Permission Slip opens up to a series of cards you swipe through, each representing a company that collects and possibly sells your data. Tap on a company card, and up pops a summary of data the company knows and your options to take action, depending on whether you have an account. At the bottom, you usually get two options: “Do Not Sell My Data” or “Delete My Account.” Tap one and Permission Slip starts the process. Then you can do it again for a different company. Each takes just a few seconds. This works for far more than just tech companies. Permission Slip covers Starbucks, Netflix, Disney, Lowes, Panda Express, reproductive app Glow and adult website Pornhub, to name a few — and plans to keep adding more. It also includes The Washington Post. What kind of personal information are we talking about? You might be (unpleasantly) surprised. For example, Permission Slip highlights that the retailer Petco could have your name and address, demographics and locations from where you’ve used their app on your phone, not to mention every little detail of your pet. More eyebrow-raising: Adult website Pornhub collects the email, username, demographics, on-site search history, browser info and interests from people with registered accounts. What about all those data companies whose names most people don’t recognize — the ones that make money by collecting and selling your information? A second part of the app can automatically ask data brokers to delete their creepy file of personal information about you. (I hope Permission Slip adds some of the obnoxious voter data brokers ahead of us all getting blitzed with political spam and texts for the 2024 election cycle.) “The more data you have out there, the more attack surface there is for security breaches and for data to leak. So having good data hygiene is really helpful for preventing future harm,” Fahs says. There are a growing number of privacy apps on the market, but Permission Slip stands out in part for being free, not trying to upsell you on a product like a VPN, and not needing access to more data like your email inbox to work. Consumer Reports says it won’t abuse your data — not even to sell subscriptions to its magazine — and minimizes the data it collects about you while working as your agent. Through an open trial period, the app has already processed 200,000 requests. Sweating the details Permission Slip was easy for me to use, with the app sweating most of the details. But if you’re going to dive in, there are a few things to know. It’s super fast to use the app, but can take some time for your requests to be fulfilled. Companies typically have at least 15 business days to opt you out of selling your data, and 45 business days to delete your data. Permission Slip stays on top of the companies in a dashboard of all your pending and completed requests. Sometimes companies ask for additional information to process requests, and Permission Slip has human agents go through them to minimize the hassle for you. (It pays for those humans and other expenses, in part, with grants from the Omidyar Foundation and others.) Often, companies insist on reaching out to you directly — so you’ll want to keep an eye on your inbox. For example, Disney sent me an email asking to confirm my request, which was easy. [Your Instagrams are training AI. There’s little you can do about it.] The most cumbersome response I got was from reservation service OpenTable, which emailed to say that if I wanted it to not sell my data I would have to log into their website, navigate to privacy settings, and figure out which of its half-dozen settings I wanted to turn off. Permission Slip told me fewer than 10 percent of the companies in its app do something like this. When I reached out for comment, OpenTable told me its extra steps help “ensure it is not a fraudulent request” and “make it possible for diners to customize their privacy preferences (particularly relevant to those who have created a diner profile with OpenTable).” You will still need to make some important choices. Before you swipe through the app and tell every company to delete your data, know there may be good reasons you want a company to have your data. For example, if you delete your Netflix account, then you couldn’t use Netflix. There may even be companies you decide to allow to sell or share your data. For example, Permission Slip points out that opting out at Petco could affect your discounts and rewards if you use the retailer’s Pal Rewards program. “What we’re hoping to do is provide a little bit of education on the sorts of data that different companies collect and then help consumers reason with how they want to manage their data,” Fahs says. Unfortunately, Big Tech companies like Google, Meta and Amazon make it particularly hard to make use of the “do not sell” and “delete” options to protect your privacy. To start with, they say they don’t “sell” your data — instead, they keep it for themselves to make lots of money off your digital life. And deleting your account probably isn’t an option if you want to keep using Google services like Gmail. In some of these cases, Permission Slip offers step by step instructions to download your data or just delete parts of it, but the process isn’t automated. If you want to reclaim your privacy from these sorts of Big Tech companies, you can also make your way through the Help Desk’s Privacy Reset Guide. It walks you through the most important privacy settings to adjust for Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Android and more. (Friends don’t let friends keep the default settings for any of these companies.) And you can help stop companies from snooping on you in the first place by using a Web browser that stops unwanted tracking, like Mozilla’s Firefox.
We might be stuck waiting for a stable build of Android 14, but OnePlus is ready to take the leap in September

During winter war soviet general hears someone shouting from wood - "One finnish soldier is better than ten soviet". Angry general sends ten man to deal with annoying Fin. After short period of shots and dying soviets screams, comes another shout - "One finnish soldier is better than hundred soviet". General sends hundred soldier and again none of them comes back. Then general hears third shout - "One finnish soldier is better than thousand soviets". Furious general sends thousand man to deal with him. This time one of his soldiers manage to survive and reports to general - "Sir, please don't send more of our troops, it's a trap, there are two of them!".
It seems like the Android native app opens all links in my default browser instead of the internal one? Is that what's expected? I don't see anything in the settings about that.

I've noticed that my "points" that show up in the voyager and connect apps have reset both times I've deleted a comment I made. I don't care much, but I assume it's not the expected outcome.
As he approached lights out in his first night in prison, the man was getting more and more nervous. Finally the lights turned off and the officers left the tier, leaving him alone with his cellie.
The cellie went to the bars and a few seconds later someone a few cells down yelled "36!". There were a few chuckles. The cellie yelled "14!" and there were a few laughs.
Finally the new guy said "OK, what's going on?". The cellie said "we've all been here so long, we know each other's jokes. We gave them all numbers to save time".
After a few more numbers, some funnier than others, the new guy asked, "can I try?". "Sure" the cellie responded.
The new guy yells "97!'. All of a sudden, everyone is laughing, banging on the bars, his cellie is crying, he's laughing so hard.
New guy says "what happened?!". The cellie, wiping tears from his eyes, says "oh man, we'd never heard that one before!".
