  1. This is a particularly embarrassing misread of roman numerals. But I do have some sympathy in that there are versions of this I constantly make. No matter how often I told myself Mac OS X was Mac OS Ten, I could not help myself reading it as the letter X.
  2. You certainly don't see as much about TERFS (Trans exclusionary radical feminists) as you did back when these articles were written. I've heard Andrew Sullivan make reference to this same dynamic for gay men and trans men. The idea that anyone can demand you're sexually attracted to a specific group is idiotic.
  3. Got anything other than this tweet and posts from other social media sites using the exact same wording to back this up? Since there doesn't appear to be a Judge Joseph A Barron, I'm guessing not.
  4. It's unlikely they'll get a sufficient number of states for the compact to take effect. With Virginia they are up to 222, but the remaining states seem pretty hard to identify. It has taken many blue states several attempts to get it over the line, and it's doubtful many purple or red states would sign on.
  5. Median income in the UK is $52,700 and $56,490 in Mississippi. This is why it's cheaper for Americans to fly to Europe to ski than go to American resorts.
  6. Where have I said that. I'm not engaging with that debate because I don't find it interesting. I do find malign actors on Twitter that you post here all the time interesting and wonder why you aren't curious at all about their motives. Here is a list of HIV laws. It seems it isn't just Democrats who don't specifically criminalize HIV transmission. I think that if you are going to criminalize HIV, the knowing transmission of any STD should also be punishable. Although I suspect the prosecution of these cases can be fraught.
  7. Seriously, you don't think you're letting people drag you around by your emotions and presenting something as just happening that happened several years ago is bad? Do not let people profit from your anger.
  8. He did this in 2021. One might wonder why blue checks are spreading it on Twitter in 2026. They are trying to profit off your rage and you should consider the value of them in your feed.
  9. I heard a few different people say if you don't believe AI works, try Claude Pro for a month and get back with me. I did that, and man it's actually the impressive one to integrate into my workflows. It's a lot harder to be a doubter after using it. Not sure what that says about the future of what jobs will be available for humans, but even if we end up with the same number of jobs just different work, it's going to be a very painful transition.
  10. If Swiderski doesn't start he probably got beat out by Vega.
  11. How many points would Vega have needed to beat the #3 guy in the country guy for OSU fans to not be worried? All of the wringing of hands about OSU seems to be premised on the ISU guys not being very good, which I disagree with!

  13. "Horrible" is pretty strong. If you prize character and dialogue, I'd say he's probably not for you since those definitely aren't his strong suit, but his movies being largely legible on the first watch has to be a testament to how he writes all the same to me. I think Dunkirk is wonderful, but I don't think I could tell you a character name or line of dialogue today, but still find the plot mechanics impressive. I don't think he winged that part of it on set and in the editing bay, so that had to all be on the page.
  14. What features of the CSR do you use? If you aren't using the lounge perk at all, a downgrade to the Sapphire Preferred might be in order. You keep the really good travel insurance perks (primary car rental insurance, etc) and ability to transfer to partners for a much more reasonable annual fee. The easiest premium travel card to get your annual fee back on, or justify to yourself anyway, is the Capital One Venture X which has a $395 annual fee offset by a $300 credit for travel booked through their portal and a 10,000 point anniversary bonus. Transfer partners domestically are not nearly as good as Chase though. If you live next to a hub for an airline, you might consider the premium card offering for that airline. Oh and last, my BIL gets in just under the line on the annual fee increase for the CSR. If you do as well, you can check out which of the new coupons you can actually use and decide for sure next year.
  15. Ray Miller is from Oklahoma, so I'm voting for him.
  16. Have you checked out the web address of this event? https://nationaldualsinvitational.com/
  17. Haven't listened to this episode yet, but here's an example of all of the things GLP1s have shown promise for. I know there can be significant weight rebound if you go off Ozempic, but I wonder about it's use in some of these others. Like if you use it to abstain from recreational drug use for a year, will you be able to stay off those if you go off a GLP1? Certainly it seems to me like the effect could be more durable since cocaine is more optional than food.
  18. As with weight loss from just diet, I think you have to be careful that you maintain muscle mass and I wouldn't be surprised about bone density as well. A quick search found this: The researchers found that people who took a GLP-1 receptor agonist had reduced hip and spine bone mineral density when they didn’t exercise, compared to people who took a placebo or just exercised. “These findings suggest that the addition of exercise to GLP-1 RA treatment is an effective weight loss strategy while preserving bone health,” the researchers wrote. Study: Weight Loss Drugs Like Ozempic Could Trigger Bone Loss Resistance training is super important.
  19. You asked about a raw number, that's what I went looking for. I'm not usually trying to cherry pick for my advantage, I'm trying to better understand a situation. Next time I will try to predict what you want not just what you say.
  20. Several other GLP1s have been approved for weight loss. I was using Ozempic as a stand in for the class of drugs as the most well known. The initial studies for other behaviors have been very positive and fascinating.
  21. I didn't say anything was. But you should use all the tools in the toolbox. Ozempic has shown strong benefits far beyond just weight control and helps people have healthy lifestyles.
  22. The time period was the previous administration. It looks like there were lots of arrests happening before. I would imagine 2024 data is not complete on this chart.
  23. 4/5 were arrested under the previous administration and 2 by local law enforcement. I imagine being part of an international gang with operations in a number of states aids your ability to avoid capture.
