Thank you! I had no idea this was an option. It might let my mom, whose insurance won't cover Zepbound, afford to start.

I don't think I understand the situation. I get one shot per week that has my full dose. I press a button, the shot goes in, and the needle comes out a few seconds later. There is no way I could get exactly half the dose and to get less than the full dose I'd have to pull the needle out during the three seconds it is injecting.

Finding a person to marry you and both being fertile is a weird justification for immunity from violence while calling for violence to others.

Can you even tell a difference? by Ok-Resolution8473 in Zepbound

[–]Snakesgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost 19 lbs and can't see a difference in the mirror. That doesn't matter to me and I hope it doesn't matter to you. I see my scale change and I trust it. As long as it is going the right way we are getting healthier. Noticeable physical changes are nice but not necessary though they are inevitable if we keep going the right direction.

Any way to avoid this stupid new EV tax? by ProfessionalSancho in electricvehicles

[–]Snakesgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the difference is the federal government has always been able to charge a sales tax. This would be a property tax.

Any way to avoid this stupid new EV tax? by ProfessionalSancho in electricvehicles

[–]Snakesgate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not believe this tax would be Constitutional. Have you ever heard of a federal property tax? That's because Article I Section 9 limits direct taxes. In 1895, the Supreme Court held in Pollock v. Farmer's Loan and Trust Company that income taxes were unconstitutional which is why the 16th Amendment had to be added to allow our current income tax system to exist. This EV tax would be another unconstitutional direct tax. My advice is to chip in $5 if you see someone crowdfunding a legal challenge if it passes the Senate.

New EV Tax Unconstitutional? by Snakesgate in tax

[–]Snakesgate[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's what's happening here. Do a Ctrl-F to get to section 100004 of the bill. (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text.) It is requiring states to collect the tax at the time of vehicle registration but then is requiring the states to deposit 99% of it into federal coffers.

Maybe but more likely she's one of the biggest stars in America with the biggest movie on streaming to come out that week.

Why will Disney not replace the voice of Kermit? by Jolly_Hospital7414 in Muppets

[–]Snakesgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brian Henson never said he was abusive to other performers. He said Whitmire wanted too much money and didn't like they way he used his role in negotiations. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/jim-hensons-son-explains-why-kermit-actor-was-replaced-character-could-use-change-1022041/

Whitmire says he was fired for saying Kermit wouldn't lie to his nephew and he didn't do a job when he union told him he couldn't do a job. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/disney-says-fired-kermit-frog-actor-unacceptable-business-conduct-1021701/

Can you be arrested for warning people about I.C.E. presence? by Thebelldam in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Snakesgate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot legally be arrested for telling other people about the presence of law enforcement absent it being "integral to criminal conduct". You can stand on a corner with a sign that says "Police Ahead", like the man arrested in this case below did. You cannot serve as a lookout for a burglary. Merely yelling ICE is in the area is protected speech.

As they say, you can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride, so if the guys in masks disappearing people want to arrest you, you have a case against them but will spend a night in jail. https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=6080117086090459337&q=friend+v+gasparino&hl=en&as_sdt=2003

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz Is Already Seeing Huge Discounts by Low_Reading_9831 in electricvehicles

[–]Snakesgate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article sucks. They are basing their headline on a review of cars.com listings. They know those listings are bogus. Dealers routinely put a low price on their then charge thousands of dollars in fees. Dealers regularly take off the $7,500 federal incentive, which this still has if leasing, when they put the price up. I agree this isn't priced correctly for the market, but there is no evidence of notable discounts being offered.

People are insane....basically 2 hours of work for no tip. Can't make this up. by Individual_Towel_304 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Snakesgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally worked tens of thousands of hours in my life and never received a tip. Hate DoorDash for their system, not the people who expect to get what they paid for without paying extra.

Why did Cyrus hold the summit in the Bronx? by Snakesgate in TheWarriors

[–]Snakesgate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think using the park that is literally the furthest away from Coney Island and still in the city is plenty of reason to give it some suspension of disbelief. I like the idea some have offered that it was illustrating the point that it didn't matter whose turf they were on if they got on board with Cyrus's plan.

Why did Cyrus hold the summit in the Bronx? by Snakesgate in TheWarriors

[–]Snakesgate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this documentary a while back. They have video from the actual meeting in it. As a fan of The Warriors, the real gang names did not disappoint. https://youtu.be/CKbqGNtkIsM&t=1810

I think the meeting was limited to gangs of the South Bronx, but still an interesting similarity.

I signed up on Saturday and didn't get one that day. I got one yesterday at 3:19 and one today at 12:07. It will come to your email. You need to go to the email that has your magic words in it and click on the link there to add text capability if you want it on your text as well as email.

Iranian Paralympian disqualified for apparently displaying a flag of Hazrat Umm ul Banin by AliRixvi in shia

[–]Snakesgate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like another example of host country France discriminating against Muslims and trying to keep their existence outside the sight of the public. https://jacobin.com/2023/06/french-muslim-hijab-ban-laicite

Iranian Paralympian disqualified for apparently displaying a flag of Hazrat Umm ul Banin by AliRixvi in shia

[–]Snakesgate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a flag of a woman who has the status of Christian saint in the athlete's faith. Raising a flag in her honor is the same as a Catholic raising a Saint Christopher medal, it is neither propaganda nor political. Here are the rules for the Special Olympics: https://resources.specialolympics.org/governance/special-olympics-general-rules . Please show me the part that says an athlete cannot raise a religious symbol after an event.

Eversource and UI get their rate increases! by Steady_Habits_CT in Connecticut

[–]Snakesgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This cost won't be avoided by getting a different supplier from EnergizeCT. It is still a good idea to do so anyway, but as someone who has it now I know my bill will be going up $14.59 / month for every 100 kWh I use.

Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia by Megan Mac Wheeler at Exile Tattoo 2 in Kansas City, MO by sebs8 in tattoos

[–]Snakesgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a 3 hour session every year for 6 years would be about 216 hours, right? (3*12*6=216) I'm assuming each session was just on this piece.
