Is this something the CFPB could help with (if they were still functional)?

After many months, it was looking like a non-union. The podiatrist was worried any pin would split the broken bone even more. It wasn't looking good.
I had read something along these lines even back then, so with my crazy immobilizer boot on, I head to the gym and started doing light squats several times per week.
Next x-ray: healed.
"But Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Republican director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), said the agencies Musk and Trump have targeted to date account for a tiny fraction of the overall federal budget ...
They are not going to go into agencies that are doing things they like. They are going into agencies they disagree with," Holtz-Eakin, who has participated in past tax and spending negotiations in Congress, told Reuters.

I had this same problem with twitter - I would like to follow a person, say Joe, that talks about X, Y, and * ... but I'm only interested in X.
I would like more granular pub/sub so I could follow Joe/X.
Of course, Joe would have to set up those channels.
> That never was sustainable, I think
Another aspect with this being (un)sustainable is lack of affordable healthcare. I bet many people would take more risks if they didn't have to worry about this aspect of their lives.
Would this device interfere with LoRa devices operating in the same area?
But for those living close to the plant, I'm not so sure:
"Environmental, and public health groups, including the Sierra Club, are urging President Joe Biden to veto a controversial bill that exempts most semiconductor companies applying for federal CHIPS Act funding from having to complete essential environmental reviews, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA."
“Exempting the semiconductor industry from NEPA is completely unwarranted, especially considering the projected significant increase use of PFAS and other toxic chemicals by the industry and their track record of releasing these dangerous chemicals into the air and water surrounding the facilities,” said Tom Fox, Senior Legislative Counsel at the Center for Environmental Health"

Sounds like he is going to use his PAC to fund challengers in primaries that don't go along with his / Trump's plans.

What I do now on the highways is point my side mirrors all the way out and flip the rearview mirror. I already have deeply tinted windows.
Of course this doesn't help with oncoming traffic.
"preemptive administration of low-dose aspirin during sleep restriction reduced pro-inflammatory responses. Specifically, aspirin reduced interleukin-6 expression and COX-1/COX-2 double positive cells in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes, as well as C-reactive protein serum levels."
"aspirin-induced reduction of inflammatory pathway activity in sleep-restricted participants was paralleled by decreased wake after sleep onset and increased sleep efficiency during recovery sleep"
But, bleeding and strokes :(

Sqlite is the default option on Android and it's pretty common to have time series sensor data that needs to be captured, stored, and analyzed...
But sqlite isn't really meant for a time series workload.
There is also duckdb but I'm not sure about the status of the Android bindings.
In general, my UI gripes:
* Bookmarks dialog from the 90s, various usability issues
* History dialog, same
* Lack of Tab Groups, still, and no plugin has given me the experience as Safari
* Profile switcher UI is also terrible
* Still no vertical tabs
* Still nothing like Safari "tab overview"
* Miscellaneous UX fails like not being able to hover over a Tab preview and close it without switching to it (like the 'x' on List All Tabs) or close a tab by hovering over a persistent x without switching to it
* Create bookmark dialog is limited so a small size and can't fit more than a few location folder entries
* macOS : after all these years, still can't full-screen like a normal macOS app (all app bar toolbars / chrome shift when mouse)
I can't remember an interesting UI feature in at least several years.
They discuss a paper "The Authentic Appeal of the Lying Demagogue: Proclaiming the Deeper Truth About Political Illegitimacy.”
Which asks the Q:
"H]ow can a constituency of voters find a candidate ‘authentically appealing’ (i.e., view him positively as authentic) even though he is a ‘lying demagogue’ (someone who deliberately tells lies and appeals to non-normative private prejudices)?”
one A is:
"Trump’s boldly false proclamations—about himself, about his rivals and critics, about the world—are not a bug. They’re a feature. They demonstrate he is sticking it to the other side. To the elites, the media, the establishment, the government, academia, Hollywood, the libs, the woke crowd, the minorities, the…whoever it is his supporters resent, despise, or disregard."

I would not start my search this way. Instead I would find a list of lab-tested products that meet purity and potency.
It's even worse: if you are an individual with paid apps, Google will publish the physical address from your merchant account to your Storefront page. You will not be able to use a PO box / UPS Store box etc.

>You mentioned that humour and power is intertwined – what is the social impact of this?
>If a boss is trying to be funny, they are automatically trying to get a response, so the use of humour is never neutral or irrelevant. People have a split second to decide whether or not to fake a laugh, or even how much to laugh – trying to figure out if the boss thinks a particular joke is a little funny or a lot funny. At the same time, they are trying to decide what the consequences of not laughing might be.

Along these lines of air quality, can anyone recommend a similarly advanced PM2.5 / PM10 sensor under $100 / ea?
Luckily, I gave 'battery toolkit' a try, and it has been working great:
"Micro- and nanoplastics in the body are passed on during cell division"

I had to start using it because macOS insisted on keeping my battery charged to 100% no matter what I did, and that can damage the battery.
I live in Phoenix, and when I go out at night with a good flashlight, the amount of stuff in the air, visible in the beam, is crazy. I imagine some is dirt among other things, but wonder if the micropastics of the tires are airborne as well.
Since it hardly ever rains here it probably just accumulates on the roads and gets kicked up with activity.
If you watch the radar during monsoon season, you'll see the city's heat island cuts through large storm systems like a knife through butter, so the monsoon rains rarely make it here now. With the population growth, the ozone has gotten worse in the summer and the temperature inversions trapping PM2.5 worse in the winter.
Exposure to particulates and ozone are bad for your health. I do not recommend Phoenix for these reasons.
EDIT: I wanted to add, every day I saw our poor USPS postal worker practically melting in that old contraption they call a vehicle. I hope they find a way to keep them cool soon.
