We're just now doing phased roll outs of 23H2 at work, so haven't paid any attention to 24H2. What issues is it having that you've noticed?

Oh I don't mind it as much; but, for an animated movie that's somewhat geared towards a wider age demographic range, it felt a bit too long for younger viewers.

Yeah, lithium mining and processing is extremely toxic and destructive to the environment. On one hand, it's primarily limited to a smaller area, but on the other hand, is it sustainable long-term unless a highly efficient lithium recycling technology emerges? And yes, I know there are some startups that are trying to solve the recycling problem, some that are promising.

There's probably fish, game, and foraging available. But, yeah, that's probably more surviving than living.

Those movies were already too long, IMO. The shortest of the two is 114 minutes. My son really liked them, but we had to break up each movie into more than one session.

What? How is him trying to help millions of workers a bad thing?

True enough, but toxic toys aren't super common in the US. It certainly happens, but they eventually get detected and recalled. That being said, with Trump's plans for gutting regulatory bodies even further, I'll be much less inclined to order cheap toys from online.

Yeah, wtf? I thought they were sanctioned to the extent that it made it so most US/EU companies literally couldn't continue doing business with Russia?

Tons of people. My wife bought a $7 digital camera off of there for one of our kids and 2 years later, both of our kids still love playing with it and it works perfectly fine. We've bought a couple of other toys off of there without issue. But yeah, the majority of the products on there are typically garbage.

Welp, the GOP will fully control all 3 branches of government in a couple months, so that's not a problem at all. We're going full throttle into corporate conartists turning the country into a fascist dystopia so they can rob the government coffers blind before sailing away on one of their billion dollar yachts.

Think it's supposed to be a pun since John Wick and Wicker Man.

It's not the government that tells the insurance what's cosmetic or medically necessary unless she's on Medicare or Medicaid.

Regardless, there needs to be laws that make it illegal for insurance companies to try and overrule doctors' medical diagnoses and deny coverage. I've straight up had my insurance company argue with my doctors about prescriptions before, requiring them to fill out a bunch of pre-approval forms that they have to renew every year, which then causes me to have to wait an extra few days before I can even get my meds. Luckily, my meds aren't life-or-death. Unfortunately, they pull the same shit for people needing life-or-death medications, too. It's fucking evil and I cannot comprehend how over 220 million US voters aren't rioting to get a better system.
