  • Most people draw a distinction between a phone/tablet vs a desktop/laptop. It’s not a distinction that can be easily defined, but most people instinctively categorize them as such.

    But regardless, the issue at hand has nothing to do with that definition. The discovery process requires them to process any applicable devices that might have info, potentially including all of the above (and more). His team said they already did his phone, but that the laptop in question is not used by him. His opponents say that he has not complied with the requirements of discovery.

    The judge will rule on whether that laptop is included in the discovery order.





  • Technology Connections recently posted a detailed video about dehumidifiers that’s worth watching. But a key takeaway is that on an AC, the hot side is outside (making the inside cool), while in a dehumidifier they are directly next to each other (condensing the moisture).

    Without looking into the specifics, my guess is that it’s not routing the cold air over the hot side to keep things inside the same temperature.



  • You’ve already asked yourself what’s the worst that can happen. Now ask her what she thinks is the worst that can happen, and what she thinks would actually happen. Do not correct her or interrupt, and only ask probing questions so that you can better understand.

    I promise you that her answers are not the same as yours.



  • The only thing I want to add is that AA is not the only option, nor even the most effective one. But it is the one with the lowest barrier to entry - you just look up where a meeting is, and you show up. No charge or anything.

    However, if AA doesn’t help (and there are plenty of people where it doesn’t), there are a bunch of other options. Some are very casual group support events (but with a licensed counselor), all the way to in-patient clinics, and everything in between.


  • This is understandably vague. Other people have mentioned the US FBI, but there’s also the NCMEC and IWF. If this is a professional-looking work, you may want to engage the studio’s compliance office. There are a number of very young-looking performers that were confirmed legal adults, so it might be a false alarm.

    If you found something on PornHub or similar (possibly including Facebook), they usually have a ‘Report’ link. If you claim it contains minors, they will likely handle reports to the authorities automatically.

    If you are looking to discuss whether a work contains a minor, outside of an abstract like the Traci Lords videos, I would recommend against it. Get the compliance records from the studio, or report it to authorities.




  • That’s way too broad of a statement, and one that I would question is true in even a small minority of cases. You’re thinking of Republicans.

    As for the quality of care, there are many systemic issues with women’s health. Since this is a procedure that is exclusive to women’s anatomy, we can confidently exclude factors like women being excluded from the trials.

    There is, however, a very simple explanation: Medical staff cannot sympathize with a pain they’ve never experienced. Men have no personal experience with the anatomy/physiology involved, on any level. We cannot truly understand how a vagina feels, nor any of the other parts. The best we can do is infer based on our own parts and experiences. The same is true in reverse.

    But what about the women involved? They have the parts, but maybe not the experience. If they have never had an IUD, or the pain described in the article, they must also infer from their own experiences.

    no bus to church??

    In the US, many (most?) churches offer their own transportation. It’s common enough that the term ‘church bus’ is a thing, although it’s usually more like a large van. For those that don’t, the parishioners will often offer transportation to those that need it.
