It’s $25/mo for family. I hate that I pay for it, but I use music, and I mostly watch YouTube on a streaming device, so I’ve never been able to use ad blockers. $15 for the fam felt worth it, but $25 has me rethinking. Maybe I can configure YT-DL to get the shows I care about on my Plex

For the layperson, what does arraignment consist of?

“Studies show productivity increases with 4-day/32h work week”

“Ok but we’ll only pay for 32 hours.”

“I literally just said it makes us more productive. Maybe you should pay us for 48 hours”

Also there is a forgiveness period after 10+X years for $12+X thousand in subsidized loans (as I understand it).

This is exactly my point. They don’t care about being hypocritical, they’ll update laws to be explicitly and overtly hypocritical to get their way. This gotcha means nothing to them.

Did they learn it? A Republican would eat their own shit if it meant a Democrat had to smell it on their breath.

This is not leading to better policies. Just expanded bannings. The physical Bible doesn’t play a role in day to day schooling. But some of the banned books would make real differences to people. Republicans lose nothing here, in fact they’re getting vocal support for more bannings from people on the left.

Right. They don’t care.

I see this commented a lot, and I don’t get what the idea is. Are the expected outcomes:

• They will get Gotcha’d so hard they see the error of their ways?
• They will get the Bible removed from schools and lead a consistent crusade against anything sexual?
• They will just keep the Bible and ignore the hypocrisy?

Never underestimate the capacity for Republicans to remain willfully hypocritical. It’s literally the foundation of today’s Supreme Court.

This is amazing news. RSV is so serious in infants, but they relied on safety from those around them who “just have the sniffles”.

The .gov page has a pretty extensive FAQ.

Right, these people are so quick to “well akshually” they completely ignore the inflated house costs since which layers more unaffordability on top of already unaffordability.

Yeah there’s something about the ratio of posts to active users. If it gets too high, there’s just a sea of posts with comments too diluted. A lot of subs just don’t have the users to support the same level of posts that equivalent reddit subs have.

There’s a fun discussion on origins of RUD and the like on the Space Stack exchange

He’s the guy who has pioneered turning political fundraising into an MLM, among other things.

Yeah, like all store brands, there can be some good finds. And I think TJ has a higher hit ratio than most stores, but it’s still far from most of them.

Care to elaborate? It’s the first I’ve heard of it.

The article specifically says this is not permitted.

Here are some problems with the “why would you use any social media on a work device?”

1. Social media outreach. The government needs to talk to people where they are for public information campaigns. This includes social media as well as traditional media

2. What constitutes “work device” is being broadly interpreted. So broadly that it also includes your personal device if you do any kind of “work” on it. I can vouch for this personally on a federal project. This not only means “don’t install social on work devices”, but "don’t install socials on personal devices unless you delete email, slack, and any other means by which you might work. This is a huge violation of privacy. Of course I can just say “fuck you, no work on my BYOD”, which I have, but now I’m at a performance disadvantage with my peers. I could also say “buy me a phone”, which I have; but they won’t.

3. Just because you don’t use/don’t like TikTok it doesn’t mean that’s where this slippery slope ends. What’s next? No personal use of queer dating apps? Why not

4. With any BYOD policy, the organization is accepting the risk of what may come on a personally owned device. Carving out an exception for a single application is a very clear anti-pattern of security.
