Similar boat. We aren't even seeing my wife's family because her mom is getting back together with her MAGA ex-husband and my wife just doesn't want to be a part of that
Article mentions the Bill of Rights, and I haven't really looked at that since middle school, so I wanted to brush up.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Emphasis mine.
Definitely a very short passage and I'm no lawyer. I could see arguments for how this does not disallow a state to mandate a religious text be included somewhere.
However, I'm a staunch believer in the separation of Church and state so I'm leaning more towards the spirit of the law rather than the letter here - seems clear that religion of any kind should never be mandated
Also I cannot believe any state congressional time was wasted on such a pointless rule. I would be astounded if this had any measurable effects on any child beyond them remembering a few more of the commandments than their peers. But morally I imagine there will be no difference
I've been reading that wet concrete is a good option, so you don't have to use plastic or anything for the containers
Like most have already said, the auto complete is top tier while the chat is hallucination-riddled and not always useful. I find that if I'm asking Chat a question, my problem is already so complex that the AI struggles to answer it without the entire context of the application. It will give me unrelated answers, fake answers, or extremely basic ones that miss the broader context. It's really a coin flip on whether it will help.
I have also had the autocorrect make a mistake once and that was extremely annoying. It was the type of mistake I would have made but took way longer to figure out because I trusted it too much
Oh wow that's actually a really good point!
Now prepare for it to be dismissed! People are too dug in at this point, there's no going back. The trenches have been dug.
I hope it's a giraffe
I think AWD is widely unnecessary for most people in most climates. It is just an unnecessary feature to sell you a more expensive car.
I have lived in snowier climates my whole life and have also driven 2WD vehicles the entire time. I have only gotten stuck once, and I know that for a fact because I remember it being surprising that it had never happened before. You really don't need it if you just drive carefully when conditions are suboptimal.
AWD gives you a false sense of invincibility as well. It's important to keep in mind that "all wheel drive" does not mean better stopping. If you're going to stop, more wheels with power doesn't help. And in terms of dangerous situations, it's usually the lack of stopping that's the problem, not the lack of going.
There are also issues with fuel efficiency to consider. AWD vehicles generally get lower fuel efficiency compared to 2WD versions of the same car.
Overall, no, you really shouldn't get AWD unless you really need the feature.

Really surprised nobody has mentioned Better World Books yet. Good selection of books, most of the used books seem to be former library books, and they (at least claim) to donate books to charity with every purchase.
You can get really cool books for really cheap with their bargain bin sales too.
I've also tried ThriftBooks but I got too many bad copies - one book, Lord of the Flies, which was owned by a high schooler and had writing on every single page of the book and another book which clearly had urine of some kind on it judging by how obsessed my cat was with the yellow stain on the spine. Their edition picker is also terrible, very similar to the way Amazon handles their options to where different editions are all smashed into one page.
Really interesting take on layout. Seems pretty well developed though so my initial impressions are good.
Plus bonus points for putting the APK in their releases
For a shorter read I'd recommend Station Eleven. It's only 200 pages but is a really interesting story and makes me feel grateful for all that I have (including the ability to send this message)
Basic summary: Global pandemic but the mortality rate is 99% and you usually die within hours of showing symptoms. The plot grapples with the loss of modern life and what could remain once it all comes crumbling down.
That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson
