Gotcha. Your other comments here made it sound to me like you’re a happy user but not involved. I misread your comments about the Cloudflare API as comments about the service you are showing. My apologies.

grzmon California nearly decriminalizes psychedelics – but governor hits brakes

Yes, the submission is about California. Like many (most?) discussions on HN, topics wander, and this particular thread, starting at the top, we've already expanded beyond California:

> "In downtown Toronto"

> "In the US liquor is sold in corner stores."

While California is big, it's not the entire US, and this particular thread is (taking the commenters at their word) is about more than just California.

grzmon Ask HN: Menstrual bleeding after Covid vaccine?

> They're both published by NIH.

One of them was published in Vacunas

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog?term=%22Vacunas%22[T...

The other was published in Science Advances

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog?term=%22Sci+Adv%22%5...

Noted on one of the pages:

> As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health.

I think an unfortunate number of people assume that because an article appears in the pubmed section provided by the NIH that it's somehow endorsed or published by the NIH. That's not the case.

grzmon If we want a shift to walking we need to prioritize dignity

It’s not a one-for-one replacement for at least two reasons: each shopper doesn’t have their own delivery vehicle, and the number of shopping trips that require vehicles is less.
