summer home time?
- Comment on doctors 2 days ago:
That may be the case, however the percentage of overweight individuals that almost certianly (as in the misreporting, not the percentage) misreport their caloric intake to their doctors is high enough that many doctors will just assume that they all lie.If they wanted to be believed they would either need actual evidence for their claims or to lose weight.

I know some landlords that acknowledge it is their problem, tenants dying or failing to pay means more paperwork and needing to find a new tenant, but they don’t really offer good solutions.

I am curious if that graph is median or mean, because I know that there are a few thousand (probably tens of thousands) people living in areas where the only unlimited (non satillite) internet costs ~$500 a month.

The requirements for it are (as far as I can tell) met in the areas where the majority of Americans live (NOT necessarily the majority of "city"s).

taller buildings and smog do a more consistent job of providing shade than a new tree will in a decade.

- Comment on Content moderators are organizing against Big Tech 1 week ago:
employ people that aren’t as bothered by it and pay them well.

- Comment on Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes 2 weeks ago:
the problem I have is that the law (609.772) appears to not only apply to political content, but all content that is
"so realistic that a reasonable person would believe it depicts speech or conduct of an individual who did not in fact engage in such speech or conduct; " and made without consent and wintin 90 days of political party conventions or after absentee voting starts.
By the way it is written the “presidents play Minecraft” series which most informed people would fully understand was not made my any presidents would likely fall under this law.
