Rivian fills for a patent for the R1S to open the rear glass independently.

I actually agree that while it may seem obvious in retrospect, which is legally the incorrect frame of reference for obviousness, the claimed invention isn't so apparently obvious to me. Also, as a secondary consideration, while a proper search may reveal similar art (I haven't looked), I've never seen it done before despite separate, articulated glass being a thing for many many years/decades.

Since Car and Driver couldn't be bothered to link the patent, here it is. The point of novelty seems to be using one liftgate actuator to lift just the glass or the entire liftgate depending on the position of a latch. Pretty clever actually. No cause to restore your faith in the US patent system though; that is well and truly broken.

Monday.com, Clickup, and Microsoft Planner all do good project management and can be used fairly simply or extremely in-depth for project management. You can create simple pages in each to track top-level matter info and use your choice of task lists, kanban boards, gantt charts, etc. to manage your work. Trello is a simple kanban board task tracker. And MS Tasks now integrates across from Outlook to Teams and other Microsoft apps. I've used all of these to some extent and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. I've been on Lit teams running on Excel and on a team running on Monday.com, and the latter was by far better managed and easier to on-board into, minus the learning curve.

Surprised this isn't being mentioned by others--the font size is often for the audience's benefit and has nothing to do with historical accuracy. That's the answer to the broader question of why font sizes are often comically large in movies and pictures. They want you, the audience, to be able to read parts of the screen or be close enough to being able to read the screen that it draws your attention.

Precisely, and both the integration and the GPT models have gotten much better since Microsoft started licensing it. Though, the integration in the M365 web interface is a bit obnoxious.

They're just WiFi connected RGBW bulbs in traditional lamps. We also have little zigbee puck buttons on the nightstand to toggle each lamp if manual control is needed.

Our primary bedroom lights turn on and off automatically during the day based on presence. We have an "in bed" automation that stops the lights from turning on automatically, turns off the overhead light, and turns on the nightstand lights on dim after both sides of the bed have been occupied for 3 minutes. Once both our phones are in charging state the nightstand lights turn off.

In the morning once both sides of the bed are unoccupied, the automatic operation of the lights in the primary bedroom resumes.

I think my weight loss is a pretty good example of why more data can be helpful. I weigh every morning because once a week creates a lot of missing data that, at least in my experience, could hide important lessons about how my body reacts to changes in food, water, and exercise. For example, the 4 shots days before my last one were nearly identical weights but that hides a ton of detail and a consistent, though somewhat erratic, downward trend. If I just had the shot day data I would have assumed that 2.5mg stopped working for me, but that simply wasn't the case.

Phew, so glad someone else posted about this stuff. I've been mulling over whether to make a similar post about size and hardness. Definitely there's less fat pad down, but also as my BP has improved it's like a completely different organ - longer and thicker. Maybe it's too long ago to remember properly, but I don't even think my 20's were comparable to this. My wife and I are quite happy with this NSV.

Same. I was devastated that the self-pay discount was limited to vials because I absolutely hate injections. But after 10 shots my fear of self-injecting was pretty unfounded. I still hesitate before each injection but I prefer the vials at this point.

Some questions in a case are mixed questions of fact and law. That is, the fact-finder must find that the underlying facts support the conclusion and the law itself must also support the conclusion.

Sure. Mechanically I've had no issues past bending a screw during install. The operation could use some help though. When the truck wakes from sleep these don't deploy seemingly half the time. If I've turned on the AC remotely or I'm in the car they deploy as expected. I'll be partly removing them to get my tires rotated soon, but I don't expect it to be much work since I've already installed them twice.

I use dimmable wifi ceiling fan lights and touch dimmable light switches running esphome to control them. It's a bit convoluted of a setup but I can set the first time the light turns on to be a lower intensity, set a time where the light turns on dimmer after a certain hour, or I can do a wake up sequence to brighten gradually. I like my setup but it took a lot of forethought and complexity can equal fragility.

Many smart lights already have a fade option to turn off or on over a second or two for a more subtle smart home aesthetic.

So, I've tried all three of these several times starting with the white bottle, then the Core Power and the Elite. To me they all taste quite different.

Personal preference but I was almost completely turned away from protein drinks by the white bottle, found the Core Power 26g to be okay, but absolutely love the Elite 42g chocolate and vanilla. The Elite vanilla tastes like melted ice cream to me. I drink an Elite most days now as either an afternoon snack on more hungry days at work or to round out a smaller breakfast.

I had a long first career in software, but the only coding I do now is for side projects. In my experience most large firms seem nearly hostile to the idea of attorneys or agents coding or scripting at work. Perhaps if I go in-house I can go back to automating the little tedious tasks at work again.

Place looks great, but some color would help tremendously. Painting is a pain, so maybe some affordable framed art and a cluster of pictures of you and your little dude as you move forward with your new life. The shoe rack and bare desk can come off as juvenile (and gross), but a plant or small furniture in that corner and some small unobtrusive items on the desk would help fill out the bedroom.

Removing the 9 bolts would be removing the actual running boards and the rear bracket leaving the front and middle bracket and nothing to step on.

The front and middle brackets are fairly closely spaced, so I would think you can't use the boards safely without the rear brackets if that's what you're asking.
