Anybody else remember the dozens of stories about how a car is a deadly weapon and the cop was completely justified in killing the driver?

We used to have laws that decentralized control of media. An entity could only own a certain number of newspapers, tv stations, or radio stations. There were incentives for smaller news companies to insure that there was competition in each market. Congress kept chipping away at those laws letting larger companies buy up more and more of the market, allowing mergers that restricted competition. Now radio is nearly a monopoly, TV and newspapers are oligarchies. The Internet fell into an oligarchy disturbingly quickly.
The only way to get the media serving the people again is to break up the big companies and restore the guardrails that protected and supported small local companies.
In the article it says that immunocompromised people spoke during the public comments on the bill and Republican senators said that the bill would criminalize their wearing masks but they just won’t be prosecuted for it.
Sounds like it would conflict with the ADA.
The Vice President doesn’t certify the vote count, the Senate does. The VP usually presides over the counting because the VP is the head of the Senate but if the office of the VP is vacant or the VP chooses not to preside over the vote count then the president pro tempore or the Senate leader elected under SR1 is the presiding officer.
If you only have one annoyance big enough to complain about I want your life.
The USB-C set a new benchmark for the popular Apollo 11 comparison. With the release of the USB-C, your phone’s charger now is about 563x faster, can store about 75% more commands, and has about 2x the RAM vs the Apollo 11.
The city requires people wanting to access IVF services to be infertile, which it defines as an inability to conceive through heterosexual sex or intrauterine insemination—a set of criteria which disqualifies only gay men.
It’s the first sentence of the fifth paragraph, the article writes it out instead of abbreviating.
Yeah the procedure would be performed on the surrogate either way. Something’s just not making sense to me. Since the couple the article is about have been to Drs and are living it and the complaint has already gone through a 2 year review process I assume that the article is just missing some important piece of info.
I’m confused about what’s presented in the article. The article says that to qualify for IVF the couple must be unable to conceive through IUI and that this requirement prevents gay men from accessing IVF. In the article’s conclusion it says that gay men can only have biological children through IVF. That doesn’t appear to be true.

That organization says that it is an option for gay men to use a surrogate and have a biological child through IUI. It wasn’t the only one I found when I searched, “can a gay male couple use IUI with a surrogate”.
Gay couples should have insurance coverage for and access to infertility care but is it unreasonable for an insurance company to say that a simpler cheaper alternative that produces an equivalent result (IUI) must be ruled out before it will cover the more complex procedure (IVF)?
Where is the disconnect? Will the insurance not cover IUI unless the procedure is preformed on the insured? Why jump to IVF and dismiss the simpler procedure? Why make IVF specifically the center of the argument instead of infertility treatment in general?
Why isn’t IUI an an opinion for them? From a biological standpoint what’s the difference between a sperm sample being used for IUI with a surrogate and IVF with a surrogate?
Fermentation is unlikely to create something that will cause worse than mild stomach issues. For homemade alcohol to be really dangerous you have to distill it and distillation without a license is already a federal felony.
Distillation doesn’t create alcohol, it concentrates alcohol. Fermentation creates alcohol and the hardest part about fermentation is waiting for it to finish.
It’s a really good topical antiseptic.

To be clear, Adam Smith thinks that the protesters who were arrested for sitting at whites only lunch counters were fascists and the people who violently attacked them were defending democracy?
There are some oral vaccines. The polio vaccine had an oral version that was widely used.
As a small silver lining, about a third of the Israeli aid package was humanitarian aid for Gaza.
That corrupt people using positions of power to harm others should be brutally murdered in the streets? That’s what I got from the books. Maybe most people who use that symbol have read different books though, they do seem to have gotten a different message.
He’s pro choice and proposed federal legislation to guarantee the right to both medication and surgical abortion and to require insurance to cover it. He has sponsored bills to protect IVF and other reproductive treatment, to give everyone paid sick leave specifically including parents taking leave to care for sick children, to expand Medicare to cover all citizens.
I’m not sure how much more he can support the right to bodily autonomy.
The first time I watched a true crime documentary it scared the crap out of me. I was eight, I think, and it was about Jack the Ripper. I watched it in a small dark smokey lounge in the back of a funeral home with some other kids of similar age and then had to run out to the car alone probably around 10:30pm or so.
