    Yeah, humans on day to day levels are capable of some pretty incredible fuck ups when we are plugged into a system that doesn't account for our chaos.

    I did read the article and the summary conclusion you presented is not the argument, nor what is at stake. Also, wild information ads are already demonstrably "OK too".

    1. The ad in question is not false, but others around Florida certainly are.

    I was pretty confused by this article because I don't watch TV and haven't seen the ad. I have seen billboard ads that say something like "Amendment 4 will allow abortion until birth." Which is absolutely misinformation. According to the article, the ad that the surgeon general is trying to block has a woman who says that the current abortion ban would block her from life saving care. While the surgeon general is saying this is false, it unfortunately is true in practice even if not in the spirit of what is written. At the end of the day, doctors have to interpret a vague law to determine what care the patient will receive from them. Florida has not published information on maternal mortality rates since overturning roe, but Georgia has proven that the restrictive vague laws result in maternal deaths due to a lack of access to life saving abortions.

    1. it can't be shut down because it is protected speech.

    When you disagree with other's political statements, you lawfully respond by making your own case -- not silencing the other side. Public discourse.

    Came here to say this. It's not some edge case medicine that people rarely encounter. Just you had a sinus infection and now you're pregnant!

    Lol, dang. TIL. I almost googled it, but I'm happier learning it vicariously through you. Takes some of the brunt of the blow.

    Walz calls him out

    Over the past few weeks (months, idk?) my phone (Pixel 8) gives me a message that says "Charging on hold to protect the battery" when the phone is not plugged in. The notification stays forever until I select "override" to dismiss the safety feature. It will not charge (if I later plug it in) until I say "override". When I say override, it will let me charge, but I will still see the notification again later, so it appears to be a temporary override. This morning, I saw the notification pop up while I was using the phone. It was in my hands, not plugged in, and did the animation like I had just plugged in the phone to charge. It was at about 45% battery, so it also seems to have nothing to do with battery percent. Am I just charging wrong, or I don't understand how smart charging works, or is this incorrect behavior? In normal circumstances, I charge the phone overnight. Since this has begun, I have begun leaving it off the charger overnight and instead charging it earlier in the evening for a bit then removing it before bed. I've noticed recently that it only charges to 80%, so it is usually very low when I get home.

    I'd like to track hurricanes. All the apps I see collect all kinds of personal data. I just go to NOAA to see the advisories, but wondering if there is something better. Edit: OS is Android 14 Edit: looking for radar (probably) or some other feature to track hurricanes (I don't know what tools there are besides radar, but if there's something else I'm interested).
