I feel better about him than the guy who wants to fly the plane into a skyscraper and who gets to pick a support staff that might help him do that. The airline has terrible staffing policies, but I don't really get to change them in the 30 minutes before the plane takes off.

Yup. If it gets too out of hand, they'll do a traffic break to slow everyone down. But going a significantly different speed than everyone else is something you try to avoid.

Their point is Steam likely doesn't condone this behavior; they just weren't aware of it. Reporting it to bring it to their attention will likely get it removed.

In that they're both photos surrounding the birth of a baby. Something that most people experiencing view as a precious and fleeting time they'd like to have nice pictures of.

The meme isn't about posting photos online, but about newborn photoshoots.

No, but I'm not complaining about how Chinese people use paper currency and that it is made worse because so many Chinese people use paper currency. I'm sure if I did that, they would.

No. It just doesn't carry the power of law. There's never been potential criminal liability for him writing executive orders beyond his powers. They simply get struck down.

Bad. Still is bad. Is still bad. Either order for is and still works.

People with no or low self-worth are way more likely to neglect their health than those with high self-worth. Pride is a huge motivator for taking care of your health.

The levels of obesity and diabetes among the Pima Indians of Arizona have long been recognised to be high. A small study tested the efficacy of lifestyle interventions. Two groups were identified. The Pima action group had a familiar mix of interventions on nutrition and physical activity. The Pima pride group looked remarkably like a control group for a health education trial—they received printed leaflets about activity and nutrition—but in addition they had regular discussions with local leaders on Pima culture and history. At the end of 12 months, much was going in the wrong direction for the action group, but the pride group had either less deterioration of risk factors or improvements. Compared with the action group the pride group looked favourable on weight, waist circumference, and blood glucose and insulin levels two hours after a glucose load.3 A tentative conclusion was that increasing pride in their identity had a more favourable impact on health behaviours and risk than focusing on how to change diet and exercise.

People often don't take care of things they aren't proud of. It doesn't matter if it's clearly in their best interest to.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but Prince died in 2016.

The Senate has to confirm the president's picks. The Republicans controlled the Senate during Obama's last years in office. So they just didn't confirm his pick. Their reasoning was that it was an election year. When Trump faced the same situation (supreme court vacancy in an election year), the Republicans still controlled the senate and confirmed his pick.

Most consumers don't buy their own routers. The only time I've helped people buy routers in the last decade is to get one you could install a vpn on. Looking at the wireless standards never crossed our minds.
