I'm a little confused why this is in the news. First off, it's just a House Resolution. It's has no legally binding repercussions. It's basically the House of Representatives as a group making a statement: "We don't like anti-Semitism". The definition of anti-Semitism they decided to point to is the thing that's really in contention. But again, this affects nobody but the US House of Representatives.

Secondly, the vote on this took place in December. So it seems kind of late to be raging over it.

Full text of the resolution: https://www.congress.gov/118/bills/hres894/BILLS-118hres894ih.pdf
Summary of action: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/894/all-info

If you're in the US and it really bugs you, I'd suggest looking up how your district representative voted and let them know how you feel about it.

Right? Unfortunately this sort of crap happens to female reporters all the time and they don't usually feel like they can stop reporting to deal with what is essentially an assault. Good job anchor person for calling it out and reassuring her that she had nothing to apologize for.

Sorry to hear that. Be assured there are places you can go where you will feel more welcome.

Which one holds up better to a grain of salt? Should I use aluminum foil for that?

I just assume the high salary is because the AI will eventually become intelligent enough to target the killswitch operator for elimination first.

I had a 2nd Gen moto x. It had proximity sensors around the screen that allowed you to make gestures over the phone to do things like check notifications, pause music, dismiss calls, etc. They also offered a lot more customization options than any other phone I know of. Mine had a leather back, which was available in a few colors. They also had several options for wood backs. It was a really nice phone and I was sad when it died.

No designated time zone.
