How weird, I've never seen that configuration. Today I learned. I just wanted to add that in case anyone read that and thought their living space was unsafe with a combination detector. The EPA says, if they are CO specific, to put them about eye level from the floor, or on the ceiling.

If you're referring to Carbon Monoxide detectors [I recognize the OP made an error calling them CO2] commonly referred to as "smoke/CO", then, in the US at least, smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are usually combined units. I've never found one to be separated like that. A common example is below. Carbon Monoxide is similar, if not lighter than common air density, so putting one on the floor wouldn't make any real difference.

Thank you! This is the ship from the show

On the surface, the massive amount of discovery requires time for the defense to go through. But also this lets the judge show early on that they are not partisan and just going with the prosecutor's proposed timeline.

I had to listen myself, for those curious.

And in comes Google's 'DRM for websites' plan to force you to use a chrome based browser. Sure, the websites still would need to opt in to integrity API, but how many will turn down guaranteed ads and tracking.

This, I have to pay a small extra fee to my utility but in return they must buy 100% of the energy I use from wind. It's not the most impactful arraignment, but it's a small way I can encourage my utility to invest in wind.

Some have community solar too that you can "buy" panels and in return the energy they produce is deducted from your bill, minus a fee for them to host and maintain the equipment of course.

The article doesn't directly link to any organization's action page, so here is one you can use to contact your legislators.

It's all 'whataboutism' without ever looking inward. I remember when Impossible and Beyond meat started becoming readily available and I read a news article that discussed how healthy they were. Their conclusion that was they were safe and healthy in moderation, but you shouldn't eat them every day....like, yeah, you shouldn't eat a fucking hamburger daily either, what's your point?

They just have to plant the tiniest seed of doubt for many consumers who will never compare the two and only want a reason to justify their consumption.

"The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn."

-Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

Nah, Idiocracy had a global problem and found the smartest person alive to fix it. This is much worse

Nuclear powered ships like the US Navy has used safely for decades. Wind/solar powered ships that have test beds in operation now. Global shipping emissions standards so they can't switch to bunker oil the second they hit international waters.
