So they stole $140K and the penalty was…$50k in restitution between them and banned from starting a charity for 4 years? Talk about justice.

When you first start it can relieve stress and be relaxing, but that is a trap. Those effects will fade and what will be left is a habit. A habit that your brain will do some pretty large mental gymnastics to justify.

Blockhead - The Music Scene is just incredible

prioritized passenger traffic over freight

Technically that’s already the law. But freight lines don’t care because the law isn’t enforced

Ah yes, just what the healthcare industry needs, LESS regulation. That’ll keep those for profit companies from gouging people for the life saving measures they need to not die.

Huh, I didn’t know that the code base for r/place was open sourced.

The same reason you don’t carry a camera, a music player, a phone, etc as separate devices in your pocket. Because it’s wildly inconvenient and super frustrating to swap between them. For diabetics in this case, you generally have two separate companies making the pump and the glucose monitor. So at that point you are carrying a phone around, a monitor for your glucose levels, and a controller for your pump. That’s three devices that you need to keep charged and on your person at all times. Not to mention they are generally not slim and sleek and easy to pocket.

The ability to swap between these from a single device and the mental offload that brings can’t be overstated.

That being said, people that use medical services on their phones should not do OS upgrades until they are notified by their makers to be verified and working and should be heavily tested before any updates go out.

If it ain’t broke don’t switch it!

Yes, corporate lobbying is a huge problem here and is often used as a weapon to stifle competition and increase profits. At times it’s hard to remember what regulations are meant to do: Protect People from Corporations

We don’t need to remove regulations, we need to improve them.

The Nvidia shield is the android tv with google play services. It would be your drop in replacement for the Panasonic interface you are currently using.

Loose could really be tightened up if it could just lose one of those Os

Tailwind is my go-to these days

They probably still will, as Omaha and Lincoln are the two major cities in Nebraska that are both left leaning.

It’s like Olive Garden up in this thread

This is what I recently did with my grandparents.

We thought their little old dog was ready to go and didn't like to see her suffering.

Oh!
