Not true. Lobbying disclosure law requires members of Congress to disclose accepted payments from lobbying, but does not restrict the amount they can accept or when they can accept it.

iPhone has had a barometer since 2014.

This is actually a really great feature. Dark Sky first started using crowdsourced barometric pressure readings to provide rain warnings. It provided a 10-minute warning for rain that was incredibly accurate. Living in NY, I got a 10-minute notification because someone 10-minutes southwest of me just got rained on.

Apple bought Dark Sky a couple years ago, and integrated the feature into the Weather app. The data is anonymized (hashed, encrypted, and relayed), so now it’s completely private.

It uses more power by leaving location services and barometric readings on persistently, but you can turn it on and off when you need it. It’s great for cyclists, runners, and hikers.

That makes sense. Thanks for the insight!

They were really clever with inside jokes in Arrested Development.

The family eats mustard and Parmesan as a gag meant to refer to his role as Colonel Mustard.

Gene Parmesan also buys a knife from a shop next to a kids play place with a ball pit called “My Little Ballroom.”

These are all very valid points of comparison. It’s a shame they weren’t clearly conveyed by either of them during the debate.

Trump wants Israel to finish what they started and expand into Palestinian territory.

He told Orbán that he intends to pull support from Ukraine if he becomes President again.

He will turn his back on any NATO allies that don’t pay enough.

He’s weak on regulating human rights violations in Chinese trade, and considers Taiwan our primary economic rival.

And I don’t think I need any links to substantiate his ongoing love affair with Putin and Kim.

State constitutional enshrinement is already on the November ballot for Florida, Maryland, South Dakota, Colorado, and now Nevada.

Montana and Missouri aren’t far behind with submitted signatures.

Nebraska, Arkansas, and Arizona are still gathering signatures.

Pennsylvania is awaiting legislative approval.

It’s a good thing to see that coming from the most populated city in a swing state.
