apparently weight loss is the difference between this being an inpatient procedure with a 40% success rate and an outpatient procedure with a 99% success rate.So, pardon me if I get Serious about health over the next few months.

TIL the US Park Service operates https://www.recreation.gov/ that allows you to search and reserve campsites and a fair selection of museums.

Hmm. Just thoughts out loud.Would it be possible to build 'silos', sites that simply archive profiles/posts/attachments/updates?They wouldn't be the primary source of truth, the original server would be, but they would act as a federated 'CDN' for the instances they follow.Just think there are efficiencies to be gained from a storage-focused deduplicating key:value store, and a way for people to support the fediverse without the time investure of running a whole ass instance.

There are two internet censorship laws being considered by congress right now.One is KOSA, which would institute a Rozkomandr-style blocklist that would require all levels (browsers, apps and websites, service providers, and operating system) to filter out content to "prevent and mental health disorders". Given that 'mental health disorder' is not a legal term, and considering what the US fascist party considers a 'mental disorder'...

Worse, it would compel Congress to study and implement national IDs for computer or browser access, enforced at the hardware level.I would need to spin up a website explain all the ways that is bad.

The second is CTOPPA, which extends COPPA closer from 13 to 16, closer to adulthood.Consider how politicians of the US fascist party wants to extend the age of majority to 21 or 25, while keeping the age of enlistment the same.

The text of the bill is similar to many EU bills - which means it's a mash up of technically ignorant and logically inconsistent ideas.It includes a takedown mechanism similar to the DMCA, but unlike the DMCA where fair use analysis is required of the service provider, and claims can be rejected for bad faith or vexatious demands, and there is a counterclaim mechanism to protect users - CTOPPA requires removal upon *receipt of complaint*.

...and oh, this is a good one I just spotted in it. CTOPPA defines 'animated characters' or 'celebrities who appeal to minors' as something immediately that marks a website as 'directed towards a minor'.Animators, streamers and youtubers are just going to LOVE having to take down any content immediately upon any complaint. And the usual bad actors are going to LOVE being able to do that.

The usual right-wing money pots are trying to push this through the lame duck session, with some of the more tech-illiterate Democrats on board, before the balance of the Senate changes and it becomes unlikely for the bill to pass, so the time to call and write is now.

Student loans were originally paused to give student loan forgiveness time to get formally hammered out. The GOP sued to stop student loan forgiveness.But now that student loans are being re-litigated, that means student loans are paused again, through June 30.Hosted on their own petard.https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/politics/student-loan-repayment-freeze-extended/index.html

Watching Inside Job on Netflix.I'm told it gets better in later seasons, but ... it's honestly not too bad now? There's some lowbrow humor (and a whole bunch of content I'd need CW's for if I described) but it's more "GURPS Illuminati University" level humor than "South Park" level.
