"You win! 🥳"

The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.

Also remember (as you clearly wrote many times) that we're talking increased risk, not causation. We were 24 and 27 when my autistic daughter was born. Sometimes you just get dealt a rough hand.

Nope. Unfortunately, like so many other things related to US elections, it's a patchwork that varies by state.

As president, he will demand to speak with the president of Puerto Rico!

To those giving you shit about cutting horrible people out of your life and saying you need to go visit...

Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I've cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I'm 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won't allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there's no love like Christian "love".

"Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "I don't like coffee." Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS personal. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.

I fucking hate these "personality assessments". This is from one I just took the other day. One of around 50 questions.

No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that's not what I'm looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.

Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I'm not sure why the mobile Maps doesn't.

Can we please get a "pause" button in navigation apps?

I don't need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.
