They’re faint but were visible about two hours ago in Virginia (may still be in parts, but clouds rolled in to my neck of the woods).

Warner is up for reelection next year, whereas Kaine isn't up until 2030. The caucus met to decide who would take the risk of voting with the GOP, so that as many dems as possible could pretend to have a spine.

And I’m sure part of it is due to the “mental health emergencies” part, but I’m still not overly inclined to put much weight in their numbers without more details on their methodology.

In fairness, this is in Forbes, and I imagine AI probably could easily replace the value its target audience provides to their employers and society at large, at least based on the Forbes readers I’ve run into in the wild.

Yep, head gasket was the continuing source of problems with our 2003 Forester. Also some rust issues with various exhaust parts but that’s mostly due to salt during the winters, not it being a Subaru.

Small sample size, etc., but if I had to pick which vehicle I’d trust the most to get me from point A to point B, my Wrangler would come in second to my Corolla but ahead of the other 5+ brands I’ve owned or regularly driven. (That said, it’s by far the least comfortable.)

I loved my Subaru but it’s the least reliable 4-wheeled vehicle I’ve owned. They aren’t terrible but don’t begin to approach Toyota. My Jeep is a collection of iffy noises, but has never had any serious issues even when driven daily. (My Hondas have all been used motorcycles so not comparable.)

Also, to be fair to the paper's authors, they may not actually have thought that autism was a single condition. It's possible (likely?) that they presented it that way due to it being the "common" view, and as a way to emphasize the importance of their research into the different subtypes. (5/4)

If you’ve ever met multiple people with the same diagnosis, it should be immediately obvious that there are usually multiple different subtypes with multiple potential causes. Diagnoses are mostly just a guide to help predict the best treatments to try first, iff the patient wants treatment. (4/4)

For example, I’ve been diagnosed with depression, ADHD, and subclinical anxiety, and they all (based on life observations and medication response) stem from my body processing adrenaline in an atypical way. You can also end up with those same diagnoses via many other biological routes. (3/)

ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and probably a lot of other DSM5 diagnoses are the result of a wide range of inputs, and have a wide range of subtypes. They’re also all interrelated and interacting. (2/)

If we define terrorism via the definition I often hear of "illegal violence carried out to influence public opinion or politics", this is missing quite a few government-instigated-but-still-illegal actions, especially from the last few months.

This all seems to miss that people don’t take Tylenol recreationally; they do it because they feel sick. Some of that is because pregnancy is uncomfortable, but some is likely because of things like the flu, which are themselves thought to possibly cause neurological problems in developing fetuses.

And then SCOTUS agrees 5-4 and points out that the first amendment doesn’t protect thoughts, just the external expressions of those thoughts.
