Isn't this.. a good thing? Don't we want Facebook to die and go away?
In the first, I would keep working and enjoy life. In the latter, I would use it to help others. Specifically investing in technologies, companies, and public policy that helps people with disabilities and make their lives easier; better jobs, housing, everyday life, etc.
the “base” M3 chip is essentially an overclocked iPad chip put into a computer, and it does not have two display controllers.
I'm not entirely sure how the Japanese solution works, but I'm not convinced by this article to dispense with my tumble dryer. There is certainly a need to reduce energy use and the space washer and dryers take up, but not sure this is it.
It's relatively easy for most people to get into college but not always to completion. That is the only benefit that college bestows - recognition that you are capable of committing to a program, and meeting deadlines in a formal, adult-oriented environment.
People can be wrong and later realize their mistake, it's not something we think about when supporting a cause; how will I be viewed in the future for this? Maybe we should.. Until then, anonymity in donating allows someone to express their opinions as they see the mores of the day to be, now, without fear of retribution, and protected for the distant future when they've realized how wrong they were and changed.
Then there is often an interim rule, basically saying ok, we've heard your concerns, and here's the final rule we're putting forth. That will be followed by a comment period of up to 45 days, or longer. The Administrative Procedures Act (1) requires a minimum 45-day period for the public to comment to the agency in writing on the proposed regulation.
Now we're probably into November if everything goes perfectly.
Then the final rule is published in the federal register, followed by another 45+ days comment period, with some date set for implementation and enforcement.
Best case scenario, if I read the law correctly, this will not get finalized and promulgated until after the election, possibly not until next year.
Government very, very rarely moves with great alacrity, especially in regulations; unless a government party fears they will lose the election, or has lost and is between legislative sessions.
The administration seems to be moving as fast as they can since this was announced, and a proposed rule published very quickly - no hearings, stakeholder input, etc., and the limit on comments are the statutory minimum.
What other ways aside from depending on government?
It's only wrong to those who disagree with the opinion being shaped.
"These findings highlight the pervasive presence of microplastics in the male reproductive system in both canine and human testes, with potential consequences on male fertility."
This terrifies me. How are we supposed to avoid plastic when it's literally EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING?!??!?!
Some of us are not ok with supporting dictatorships.
