That's good to hear. I always like seeing local folks doing well in their own communities more than any chain.

Sounds like some damn good reasons to go to the locally-owned restaurant and try to ensure that they get to stay in business. It always sucks when the mom-and-pop/family-owned local places go out of business because people just go to the chains all the time.

No, this is just the fraud ruling and the associated interest. The E. Jean Carroll trials aren't included in the amount on the page.

One of his legal losses. This doesn't include the E. Jean Carroll rulings.

The edit history would show things like copy/pasting large blocks of text versus normally typed edits.

If you write something in Word or an equivalent program, there will be metadata of the save files that shows creation and edit timestamps. If they use something like Google Docs, there's a very similar mechanism via the version history. I actually had the metadata from a Word document be useful in a legal case.

In Second Gig (the second season of the anime) they do go over her past more and it reveals that she was a little girl that survived a plane crash (?) and was one of the first children to have a fully cybernetic body. That season explores a lot about her relationship with her past and present identities, motivations, and principles. It is one of my favorite pieces of media.

Donna Noble is the best Dr. Who companion and I will not be entertaining any arguments that say otherwise.

I'm a second year medical student, and those boomer doctors are what I will avoid being at any cost. I currently spend a fair amount of time and effort challenging some of my professors and classmates on their attitudes and assumptions regarding health needs and healthcare discrepancies for racial minorities, low SES patients, and LGBTQ+ patients.

The failure of the programmers to account for this kind of situation just speaks to their complete obliviousness and lack of understanding of other people. It's not terribly different from the problem of voice recognition software working best with male voices in a west-coat American accent because that is the entire sample set of people used to train it in the beginning.

Nicotine is terrible for your brain and vaping is likely to have the same risk for lung cancer that smoking does, it just tends to cause a different kind of cancer. Anxiety, and any mental illness for that matter, is a hell of a burden to bear, but adding chemical dependence, health complications, and financial burden on top of it is not going to make anything better.
