I have one that records the history on the device; up to 100 entries per user or so. I don’t know if there’s an export option though; I’ve never tried.
If you’re interested, I’ll look it up. I’m not at home for a bit so I can’t just go look at it; I’d need to dig through emails to find the model.
What point are you trying to make about it being higher than the general population? That they are doing ever so slightly better than arresting people at random?
Not what I’m referring to. When pouring water into a cup, it makes a sound. And that sound is different if the water is hot vs cold. And you probably intuitively can tell the difference, even if you’ve never thought about it before.
Not directly related but your comment reminded me of it: did you know you can hear a difference in hot vs cold water?
And I don’t mean that as a general, “one can learn to hear it,” I mean it as, “this is a skill you there reading this probably have that you likely never realized you have.” (Unless you have also seen this video or something like it.)
According to OP’s comment in the original post, yes, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to look like. The gauze just has some food coloring to make that joke.
The time span differs. My mentor’s husband in Missouri is barred from driving for a year after a seizure; my partner mention that it’s five years in North Carolina.
I haven’t looked up any of the rules, but those are just examples of what I’ve heard.
Yes, this summarizes the latest guidance:
On September 19, 2025, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to change what had been a universal COVID-19 vaccine recommendation (except for HHS’ recent change for those under age 18) to “shared clinical decision-making”, including for those 65 and older. For those under 65, ACIP added that the assessment should include “an emphasis that the risk-benefit of vaccination is most favorable for individuals who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease and lowest for individuals who are not at an increased risk, according to the CDC list of COVID-19 risk factors.” These recommendations, should they be adopted by the CDC Director, mean that all individuals are recommended to have an individual assessment and interaction with a health care provider to determine whether getting a COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for them. If that determination is made, insurers should cover the vaccine at no-cost, although it is possible that some consumers may face challenges. (source)
So the change is that it’s no longer routinely recommended for everyone, but it’s supported if the patient and healthcare professional agree. Simplicity of access varies and some states have mandated that a pharmacist qualifies to make this decision, while others haven’t, but as long as you don’t have a doctor who is anti-vax, you should be able to get one.
More info from the CDC here about what “shared clinical decision-making” means.
Small note: in the end, access to COVID vaccines has not been limited. There was swirl around this that made it seem like they would be, but then the CDC landed on guidance that basically boils down to, “it’s an individual’s choice with the guidance of their healthcare provider.”
I was livid about the swirl because I am an immunocompromised person while my partner is not, and the initial guidance implied he would not have access to the vaccine, despite living with me.
I want everyone who can get vaccinated to do so, and so it’s important to me to stop the perception that anyone is restricted from accessing it.
This list reminds me of the “reasons my wife cried” list, lol.
But seriously I love this list and think it’s great to find joy in the small things like this. And if you don’t/can’t, it’s ok to seek out help for your mental health.
I’d recommend reading the book Influence by Robert Cialdini. It talks about six mechanisms that are most effective in making people do things, one of which is reciprocity. Getting something from someone makes us significantly more likely to do something for them.
You might believe you’re above these mechanisms of influence, and you may truly be mindful enough to avoid a lot of them, but these things work on our psyche at a deep level and it’s unlikely you’re immune to them.
All of this to say that if you’re ever in a place to accept money or things from people you disagree with or don’t like, think reeeally hard about whether you’d be willing to eventually compromise on your values for that freebie. Because you might eventually find yourself doing that unconsciously.
I’m unclear how this is a misleading headline. There were more reports; that’s all it says. The headline doesn’t give any indication or even hint of why, just that volume = greater.
My guess before reading anything was that it was getting better at identifying and reporting cases and/or as use of their tools has increased that there is more to report, not that suddenly there was more CSAM occurring. Did you assume something different?
Either way, I’m glad to hear the reports are increasing. Makes it more likely the culprits will be identified.
