I’d like to see the study on the carcinogenic effect of blackened chicken. Until then, you can be mad smokers are hated in society.

How is it rude to make a big deal out of something that is literally well known to give you cancer?

A place where the second hand smoke won’t give other people cancer.

The big one is a wolf spider. They are pretty cool.

If you’re in the US, anyone can set up a business bank account using your own SSN. It’s called sole proprietor. You’d just have to register for an EIN with the IRS. You might have some state procedures too. It’s generally not difficult to do this, especially if having a business ISP account is what you want.

Oh wow. She sits among a sea of ROROs in Baltimore.

I always admired her beauty when she was docked in Philadelphia for years. Very cool ship to see when walking out of Walmart.

She also has a great history. It’s quite sad (and very understandable) nobody bought her to refurb and turn her into a museum. She was for sale for $1 for as long as I can remember. Of course, the real cost is much much more with docking fees, needing to tow her anywhere.

Goes back to my first statement. What’s right is not always legal and what’s legal isn’t always right. You can sub moral in for right.

Consider the current USA government would gladly go back to treating certain peoples as property again ( and much to my embarrassment and anger), I’d also agree Africa has better protections.

Each country will have different laws on animal treatment some much better than others.

Garmin and Polar take data seriously. I use a polar and don’t mind using their app. They have a setting to delete data after a certain time limit. I have mine set to 2 years.

In the USA, what is legal is not always right and what is right is not always legal.

Pets are considered property. So generally the only compensation a pet owner will get to someone or something hurting their dog or cat is the price it can be bought for.

That’s why there was a push for animal abuse laws. So if someone is caught blatantly abusing an animal they -might- actually get a sentence. But even today, there’s many use cases to get a green light to abuse animals. Lab testing, slaughter houses, etc.

No clue. I don’t use any consoles or steam.

You could buy a cheap(ish) device dedicated for this purpose that can handle the apps you want. Think of it as a more expensive chromecast.

A separate device can also mean more privacy depending on how you configure it.

My iPhone has a screen mirroring function. If the TV does Bluetooth, you can display your entire screen and play whatever you want.

I think Android must have a similar feature, I’ve seen connection popups for Samsung devices that I denied from my TV.

If you have a non Bluetooth TV, then it won’t work.

Eh… Fetterman was the better choice. Too bad there’s no mechanism to recall our shit politicians.

Either way he’s toast. Dems won’t vote for him and he’s got way too many liberal sound bites from his past that the GOP won’t vote for him either.

I do feel for his wife, who has been silent ever since the stroke.

From an access standpoint, someone would need to know they can request a free ID. The people who need the free ID are the mostly likely to not have the tools or education to request one.

Everyone should automatically be given an ID.

Rich people are rich because they don’t pay for things.

Anyone from PA will remember him shopping at Wegners for his “crudité”. This is no surprise

She was a phenomenal Representative. It is a shame she refuses to help him campaign.

It is a fantasy to think a person of color or a woman (let alone both of these things combined) would win in Texas. Talarico is the correct choice. Look at how close the polls are, it’s embarrassing. This should be a no brainer, no contest blow out for Talarico and it’s not.

America hates women even in liberal blue states.
