The requirement for a license to carry concealed in most situations that previously required it goes away on July 1st.

The licensing scheme will be retained primarily for reciprocity, but there are some edge cases as well.

I didn't have to do that when I flew back from Canada in November (on Air Canada).

Maybe your carrier didn't update their systems.

I was told celebrities would be moving to Canada if Trump won. I'm still waiting...

That's a localized issue. It's a pretty good hint to the crime stats of the area where the store is located.

An interesting version of this - in Hawaii, they put Spam cans in the plastic boxes, as theft of spam is a problem in their blue paradise, as it's used a lot and pretty durable, so has become a sort of black market currency.

I vaguely recall something along the lines of if you must take one, take the J&J. Not sure if it was Trump who said it though.

The New York Times uses the tagline: "Journalism worthy of a Pulitzer." 🤔

Not even SF... Oakland. Which is like a shitty-California Camden, NJ.

Camden's across the water from Philadelphia... Oakland's across the water from SF... and both are worse than their more well known neighbors...

I think it specifically was not an mRNA vaccine. It also only required a single shot rather than a series of two.

There was a concession that any one congressperson could claim no confidence and a new speaker would need to be selected.

US citizens never needed the vax to return to the US, so it depends which countries you intend to go.

I went to Canada twice last year after they dropped requirements (once by car -- I was near the border coincidentally a couple of days after Canada dropped the requirements on Oct 1 2022, then went on a vacation up there by plane.)

US citizens never needed to be vaxed to enter. And never needed a test to cross by land.

The test was required for anyone entering by air.

The vax was required for any non-citizen.

And amazingly enough, we took longer to remove the requirement than Canada.

I suspect this is one of the annoyance filters to deal with annoying "give us your email" popups, seeing as it only seems to block a very specific line of Javascript.

I have the annoying filter enabled. I don't remember if TGP normally makes such an annoying popup.

Even with the huge bill, the healthcare may still be of poor quality, or limited. So both?

Like, even with $67,000 bill, that only covers amputating leg, not fixing leg. Or insurance only covers the cheapest remedy, which is amputating leg...

In NYC, they removed all of the public payphones on the street and replaced them with expensive and unreliable wifi kiosks. There's a tablet on the kiosk that can make local phone calls, on speakerphone...

I see privately operated payphones sometimes still, but they're getting rare.

I've seen some telco-placed payphones in National Parks with questionable cell service recently... Paradise visitors center in Mt Rainier, WA and Hawaiian Volcanos NP visitors center on the Big Island, Hawaii come to mind...

The Unbreakable Umbrella is great. I carry the collapsible version, my friend uses the full size version when he can't carry a firearm on the job.

Assuming you don't live in San Diego, carrying an umbrella is generally pretty reasonable.

That's really useful.

I spent a couple of hours trying to get it to generate copy/pastable markdown, as it's doc generation is pretty good, but the formatting of the output is sometimes weird because the responses are formatted as markdown internally.
