The judge’s response to that was the polite legalese translation of “lol, no”.


That is specifically mentioned in the article as well as delineation of state versus federal crimes in regard to presidential pardons.


This is the one I have and my only problems with it are that it’s a little too big to fit into a smaller purse or something, and it’s a little heavy. I can charge my phone and small tablet to full close to 20 times before it needs to be recharged, and it holds its charge just about perfectly between uses.

Holy buckets this is bullshit. I used to really like Trader Joe’s; their products are pretty high quality for not outrageous prices…but I can’t stand anti-union bullshit like this. I guess I need to really restrict my grocery shopping to pretty much just Aldi and Costco in terms of companies that seem to treat their employees reasonably well.


I’m keeping my reddit account alive for just a handful of subreddits because there aren’t really equivalent communities here or elsewhere.


Being lazy is vaguely kinda sorta correlated with cancer… but that doesn’t account for the fact that humans who are regularly active are also less likely to make other lifestyle choices that are more significantly tied to cancer like smoking and drinking.

This is the problem with a lot of population based studies. Obesity is linked with a lot of health problems like cardiovascular disease, but only some aspects of cardiovascular disease have causative links to obesity and others are sequelae of other factors that tend to be associated with obesity. For example, extra weight/adipose puts more stress on your heart by there just being more body mass to deliver blood to and more oxygen demand from muscles to just physically move the weight around (also a cause of joint problems)… but it’s the poor diet full of cholesterol that clogs up the arteries (aka atherosclerosis) causing myocardial infarction (heart attack).


Oh my fuck. I hate news stories like this. Aspartame falls into the same cancer risk category as eating red meat sometimes and being kinda lazy. A rigorous systematic review was conducted of dozens of studies of aspartame and they did not find a plausible biologic mechanism by which aspartame could cause cancer. Epidemiologically, it’s vaguely correlated, not causative of cancer.

Also, in the Reuters article it notes that a 132-lbs adult would have to drink 12 to 36 cans of diet coke a day for the dose/exposure to become relevant to the risk they’re talking about. This article is talking about one study that is at odds with the systematically reviewed data from 40 human observational studies, 12 experimental animal studies, and 1360 assay/experimental end points to look for the supposed link.

Given that the guidelines in question are somewhat subjective, I don’t see this having a particularly significant effect on the current deportation practices. The thing that could be interesting here would be using this as precedence for preventing some jurisdictions from attempting to impose stricter arrest policies on other jurisdictions. Such an example might be states trying to force other states to enforce abortion bans on citizens across state lines or drug possession laws.
