Between those two, the 7. The 6a has the same horrendous modem as the 6/6Pro. It's the only phone series I've ever felt the need to upgrade from at the 1 year mark. Multiple family members and I had so many situations where the thing just would abruptly drop all data service until it was rebooted or toggled airplane mode. Would not recommend any of the 6 series unless you're primarily on WiFi.

Nope. Runs Linux and there are launchers for pretty much all the other games stores. It's just a significantly smoother process for things you have in Steam because of the work Valve has done on Linux compatibility.

Practicing prosthetist for about 15 years now. The fights we have with insurance for coverage get worse every year while copays and deductibles continue to increase.

At least in the case of the hand in the article they likely hit denials on a multi articulating hand, claiming it's not necessary over a simple open-close hand. I fight that fight every day and it's absolutely BS to limit access to these types of hands or myoelectric devices in general just because they're more expensive than an old school body powered hook.

Ask anyone in healthcare and they'll tell you something has to change. The system does not work for the majority of working people.

Blocked by a Republican judge.

Same. Firefox Mobile had been a laggy mess when I used it a few years ago, but a combination of some really aggressive advertising and the announcement of manifest v3 caused me to give it another shot about a year ago. It's a dramatic improvement in phone browsing.

The more I've thought about it the more I think Pete really is one of the safer candidates in that list. He's already been vetted at the national level from the 2020 cycle. He's wicked smart, is a great debater, and from the people who have seen him speak gets people excited. He has a national presence already and doesn't require giving up a governorship or senate seat.

He won the Iowa caucus in 2020 but because of their whole glitch thing it wasn't official until days later. Should bring some good Midwest support too being from Indiana and presently living in Michigan.

Yes she'd be 35 before taking office.

If it worked that way in the US then that would be sensibly pro-worker while allowing the existing employer to defend their intellectual property and investments in employees.

The reality is I have a 2 year noncompete that simply prevents me from working for competitors within 50 miles of any of my job sites unless I want to open myself up to a lawsuit. If I left today, I'd have to travel way further to get to an acceptable location, but would certainly not be receiving any compensation for that hassle from my previous employer. The elimination of noncompetes would be a huge boon to me and my colleagues, but this sort of court shenanigans is why I said I'd wait to be excited until it actually took effect.

Anything I've listened to with Ray Porter reading it. His intonation is great and just brings that something extra to the stories. In particular Project Hail Mary and the Bobiverse books. He also did Paradox Bound, which felt like a fine time travel story but his portrayal of the voice of the "faceless men" made the character 's menace come to life for me in a way I don't think would be captured in text.

Agreed. Pete in the debate would have been a dramatically different situation. I'd happily watch him fact check all day long.

Yep, I saw that line and have zero patience for these people. I have a birth defect that made it impossible for my wife and I to naturally conceive. In our case IVF was the ONLY viable treatment option.

We were lucky enough to be successful and we're presently sitting at the hospital waiting for the birth of our first child. We plan to have another from our remaining frozen embryos. Our timetable may be moved up though by the threat of a bunch of morons trying to legislate our health and ability to have the family we want.

Prosthetist. I work with patients to make and fit artificial limbs to them.
