McBurney’s ruling would allow abortions through at least 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Fuck. Yes. Sometimes it takes awhile to discover major problems.

Oh wow, that’s interesting insight, thanks for the details. I’m in Texas and it’s like a pissing contest between Abbott & Desantis to be the most shitty state.

PSA for those in the US; the Urgent Care type places that advertise “ER” in their title will be absurdly more expensive than “regular” Urgent Care places that do not advertise as such.

The reason is that the “ER” places have actual ER type equipment, but regardless if you use them or not, you will be charged as such.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but we learned the hard way when my partner went in for something very benign and we received a $1,000 bill, even though we had insurance.

These “ER” places are popping up everywhere, and there’s nothing to tell you that if you go down the road a block or so, it could make the difference between a cheaper co-pay and owing the full amount. In our case, almost $1,000.

I saw a Vice (I think) piece about this. Basically Desantis really took an interest in this one random college and has steamrolled all over it. They interviewed students who thought they were going to one school, but everything changed not long after they got there.

But it’s so fucking weird that he’s focusing all this energy on this small school. I don’t want to go full tinfoil hat, but this is so random.

So basically he’s Peter Thiel minus the Titanic stuff.

And JD Vance isn’t really from Appalachia, but Tim Walz doesn’t hang out with Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and Curtis Yarvin, or degrade women who don’t have kids, and isn’t creepy as fuck, so what’s your point?

Nothing in the article is negative except for a quote from a conservative saying he’s “full of shit”. Got ‘em?

Unrelated, but what is the origin of this image? I feel like I’ve seen it often over the years and don’t know where it came from originally.

Has it ever been confirmed that he only identifies as being attracted to leather couches? I was of the impression he didn’t have a particular type, but I could be wrong.

Important detail missing from this article:

He's accused of yelling derogatory, racist and sexual remarks about Harris and the carrier, calling the postal carrier a "Black b****" and lunging at her with a knife.

I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. So far the only internet I’ve connected to since I got the phone is at home, but with 2 different networks (one is 5g but otherwise same router and everything).

I never updated the 13 Pro to iOS 17 because I knew I would be upgrading soon, but I never had this issue with any former phone and have been on this same internet setup since 2016.

I have an iPad Mini 6 that I did update to iOS 17, and it’s fine.

I’ve tried resetting network settings, turning off Wi-Fi assist, turning off networking and wireless in location services-> system services (saw that as a potential fix), and restarting multiple times, but it still randomly drops my WiFi signal on both home networks.

Everything else wrt network/connection on my previous phone is the same - VPN setup, etc.

My SO has a 14 pro & did update to 17 and does not have this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for answers and I see that this has been an issue off and on for the past few years, but one of the fixes I mentioned above usually seems to help I guess because I haven’t seen any other suggestions.

Could it be the phone itself? Is it worth exchanging it for another one before the 2 weeks runs out?

Thanks everyone.
