Unfortunately, cutting drugs with things to make them either cheaper or stronger is pretty common most places, in fact it’s basically universal here. Some weed dealers have relatively uncontaminated stock, but most don’t.

And good fucking luck if you buy any kind of pills or anything.

Not proper cooking to a well temp, but you never really know if proper food safety practices were observed or not.

Depending on your biases, either to try and maintain order to prevent it from becoming a riot, or to intimidate and assault protestors.

Given the history of police and protesting college kids, it’s probably supposed to be mostly an intimidation thing.

Jurisdiction vs standing. Jurisdiction is whether the court can rule on something and standing is whether the person suing is materially involved enough to justify filing the suit.

I can’t find in the article what court they filed suit with, they could have sued in federal court for all I know. It is worth noting though, that the hospital technically did business in Texas because they had some people working from home here. Best I can tell, this means that while they aren’t by Texas laws on whether to do a procedure, they can’t just tell the Texas AG to stuff it if he tries to sue them, because Texas courts would technically have some jurisdiction over an entity operating in Texas.

Best I can tell, their argument for standing was that they needed to make sure the Texas residents were having their consumer rights respected. According to my very limited understanding, that argument could go either way. They couldn’t stop these procedures from being done, but they might have been able to get patient records.

Its a news article from a week ago. They probably don’t know for sure yet.

1. Violent crime. Guns are used for crime a lot. So much so that when you weigh their criminal uses against their criminal uses, it can be easy to decide they aren’t worth it on the macro scale.

2. Suicide. People who attempt suicide via jumping or something similar very often realize what they’ve done and bounce back. You can’t do that if you’ve shot yourself in the head. While you’d think a suicide is a suicide, a less lethal method of suicide is better for society as a whole, because survivors often get their shit together.

3. Crazy people. Especially those of us who live in cities encounter unhinged people who just start shit for any or no reason. We want the stakes to be lower, so that I can tell the Karen screaming racial epithets at my neighbor in the middle of the night to go the fuck home and let me sleep, without worrying they’re going to try and murder me.

4. Accidents happen. Much like “responsible drivers”, " responsible gun owners" are less common than you think, and everyone thinks they are one. This is why institutions usually insist on things like mag safeties, that private owners detest. It’s because statistically, a good number of people are just stupid sometimes.

5. People are literally just scared of them. They’re dangerous.

That is the last place you want to be during a hurricane…

Now super armored dome houses…that’s where the money is.

It’s a 10/10 OS. I will only buy pixels until it or another similar project expands support to other brands.

Although as OP described, NFC does not work. You can just put a card in your phone case, if it’s that important to you, but I have to carry my wallet around anyways.

We could just…not lose our shit if we see slightly too much of someone’s body.

An extra quarter inch of titty just isn’t that big of a deal. We literally all have nipples.
