It’s not illegal to mention jury nullification, and even a prospective juror talking about it won’t necessarily get them sent home.

In theory chargers being more readily available will help with this. If they mark up the electricity 10x and all the tenants just charge at work instead, there’s a motive to make the price more competitive. In practice we might just end up with more AI price fixing and consumers with no recourse.

It doesn’t match my personal experience, but I won’t go as far as to say it isn’t true. Even someone very experienced with a substance can have a bad trip, even if they’re familiar with the same dose. Sometimes your brain interprets what’s happening as really cool and interesting. Other times it might interpret those same events as terrifying.

The cherry picking is usually a compromise to keep the companies operating in the state at all. If the state says a company must offer coverage for all perils for the entire state or leave entirely, it doesn’t take an underwriter to know Florida is a bad bet. There are similar carve outs for windstorm coverage in other gulf coast states, and I think for wildfire coverage on the west coast.

Edit: I couldn’t find anything about a single peril state plan for California, but this article describes some of the recent insurance issues in the state: https://apnews.com/article/california-home-insurance-wildfire-risk-premiums-047bdfa514ce93dac83c82735a15554a

Water damage to your house is generally covered unless it’s specifically excluded (flood). Plumbing leaks are usually covered, and the same goes for wind driven rain.

When it comes to your belongings, coverage is the opposite, meaning nothing is covered unless the policy specifically says it is. Plumbing water damage is covered, but wind driven rain is only covered if an opening is created by the wind or hail. This could be as minor as a missing shingle.

Flood damage (the rising water kind) isn’t covered by homeowners insurance for the building or your belongings, but renters policies do typically cover flood damage.

Another thing to know about ahead of time is replacement cost coverage. I knew something that only had cash value coverage for their roof in addition to an $8000 deductible. They got a check from the insurance for about $200 and had to pay the rest out of pocket.

While the “full-blown timeline” for the vaccine being approved “might be many years away” the visible impact could be sooner.

Professor Ahmed added that, through clinical trials, he would hope to start seeing the vaccine’s impact “in four or five years on the healthy population”.

This is really exciting. I wonder if vaccines could be developed for other cancers using a similar technique?

Wouldn’t it be easier to just block the bot?

Refreshing once you’re in reader mode fixes that issue for me sometimes.

You don’t like paying $15 for a tiny burger?

That’s a great point that I hadn’t considered. Posting on every post also keeps it neutral instead of seeming to only target certain sources.

Another idea. What about not posting the comment when the rating is “high credibility”?

After seeing the comment on a few posts, the length is really bothering me. I don’t want to block the bot since it’s useful information. What about a single line of text with a link to “read more”?

Example with explanations:

404 Media is rated with High Creditability by Media Bias Fact Check. (change Media Bias Fact Check to a link that goes to a post explaining what they do, the reason for the bot, and a link to their donation page)

Check the bias and credibility of this article on ground.news. (change “this article” to be a link instead of displaying link in plain text)

How it might look:

404 Media is rated with High Creditability by Media Bias Fact Check.

Check the bias and credibility of this article on ground.news.

If you click into the link it defines “pro science bias”.

The “footer” section is very long, and the spoiler tags don’t seem to do anything on the Boost app. This makes the bot comment take up an entire screen on mobile.

Calm down there Panera.

Coincidentally soy is one of my favorite home cooking ingredients! Tofu, TVP, and especially soy curls.

Yes, I was mostly referencing calories, and more specifically referencing fast food salads. You’re right that even if the calories are equivalent the micronutrient value of the salad is likely better.

And don’t forget that salad likely has the nutrition of a big mac!

One issue is that processed foods are made to be hyperpalatable. Pair that with agriculture subsidies that make meat and sugar (corn) cheaper than they should be and you have a recipe for an obesity crisis.

I believe reallocating those subsidies to healthier foods would be a great step towards fixing the issue, but healthy foods at the grocery store being cheap doesn’t really compete with the convenience of fast food.
