Bernie’s Sanders is very easy to attack because of how fast he folded to the DNC in the past decade.

Even for the Trump "bull in the china shop" voter, Sanders has become less relevant in 2020 and 2024 because he offers so little and for someone so called principled, he doesn’t hold the same ideas on immigration that he has before.

I would check your breaker box as well. If a hair dryer trips anything then… well yeah probably older construction.

I agree with all of your points. I am kind of shocked that I had to scroll so far down to see point #3 on this thread at all.

CSS doesn't give the best toolset in order to do styling and organize styling. The locality of HTML structure and styling makes things far easier to work with.

I would also throw in that front end coding feels far more fickle and arbitrary. Tailwind allows me to define a set of rules and then apply them directly. It ends up being more maintainable when used in conjunction with component abstractions.

It's probably the most dystopian and I'm very glad I didn't have to scroll to the bottom before someone said otherwise.

The logical end of this thinking is that people who would otherwise be perfectly capable of raising children would put them up for adoption because they would want the best outcome for their kids.

It's like Black Mirror episodes write themselves.

God… the most close calls I’ve seen have always been with rental e-scooters. Both of them blew past a red light, which btw, I was stopped at on my e-scooter. He nearly got hit by a SUV if the driver didn’t stop.

I think there’s some expectation for bikes to go with traffic, rental scooter riders think they’re some kind of unicorn where right of way no longer applies.

And I am assuming they are rental scooters because of the styling and lack of helmet.

The DC metro is ridiculous. I'm cynical enough to think that the only way the Silver Line would have been done faster would have been to shutdown DCA so politicians would be forced to use Dulles. Even then they would probably just have drivers.

IIRC, there are issues with the concrete used on the new platforms too.

States have have recently passed laws have added in exceptions for the things you've brought up.

Also looking up the definition of abortion in this case is important:

https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/data_stats/abortion.h...

    For the purpose of surveillance, a legal induced abortion is defined as an intervention performed by a licensed clinician (e.g., a physician, nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) within the limits of state regulations, that is intended to terminate a suspected or known ongoing intrauterine pregnancy and that does not result in a live birth. Most states and reporting areas that collect abortion data report if an abortion was medical or surgical. Medical abortions are legal procedures that use medications instead of surgery.

For the stuff that matters, I had to connect to my receiver then to the TV. It doesn’t help that DTS isn’t supported by my TV (LG-CX). I have a Denon AVR as well.

So basically, almost everything goes through the receiver: nvidia shield, Blu-ray player. But then again, I paid through the nose for it.

It makes more sense to me that the sound capable device is better at figuring out the audio stuff. Which means the ports to a sound bar/receiver is a real consideration.

Haven’t figured out PC audio to my receiver though. I’ve basically given up.

There are a lot of things involved in increasing hospital capacity. One would be increasing the number of workers.

With things like masks we were able to free up supply by allowing N95 construction masks to be used until other production can get up to speed. We don't exactly have a hidden cache of nurses and doctors that can be rallied upon a moment's notice.

Now getting rid of the ones that can, and probably contracted COVID already does make zero sense.

Depending on where you're from the answer differs greatly. But a very simple (and most likely a wrong one) is that no matter the circumstances, it takes a preponderance of bad outcomes to shift quickly on policies.

And the policymakers for the most part, have not shifted in the past several years. In the USA, Biden has pretty much carried forward the policy from Trump and Dr. Fauci is still the director of the CDC during this time. If national policy and sentiment were to change the biggest sentiment would be to change the CDC director.

The election was just last year. Now, regardless of the reason why individuals voted for them, politicians feel as if their winning means to move forward on all parts of their agenda. One of the biggest reasons for Trump's loss is how COVID was handled. So the direction that this administration has is to handle COVID differently than Trump, which means, do more to combat COVID.

In the USA, I would not expect anything major to come out at the national level with regards to COVID. VA just had a shift happen with the governor's race (I live in VA) and VA might be a barometer for what changes can happen at a local level.

And sadly, I do think I have to tie my expectations more with politics than science or data.

Because people in those neighborhoods realize that crime going unchecked with exacerbate the poverty cycle.

A lot of people break down the problems into a series of axioms or beliefs instead of systems of inputs and outputs. So while policing isn’t enough to solve the underlying problem, removing policing makes the underlying problems worse.
