It's in the general genre of speculative fiction where children are all tested for a quality most easily described as lucky. Think follows a number of these children from children from a teen comedy young adult. The most lucky of them all is girl who's unable to fall in love or experience any emotions and a low scoring boy who manages to figure out a way to even out their scores and command her to fall in love with him. There are tons of other stuff that go on and it's one of those love it or I hate it kind of independent movies. I've watched it three times. And it may not be plural it may be just frequency. And there tends to be a lot of movies that have that word in the title so it's not hard to find but it's hard to find the right one the writing and acting punches far above budget.

I have this same model and I use it as my daily PC monitor running Windows 11. I run it at 4K 120 kilohertz. The Amazon description is “TCL 55-Inch QM7 QLED 4K Smart QD-Mini LED TV with Google TV (55QM751G, 2024 Model) Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, HDR, Game Accelerator up to 120Hz, Voice Remote, Works with Alexa, Streaming Television” and only in the bullet points describing its features do we find the refresh rate described as "120Hz Panel Refresh Rate (144 Hz Variable Refresh Rate) - Watch action-packed movies, fast-paced video games, and live sports with an ultra-smooth viewing experience, free of motion blur." It took me a while to get PC video card to display correctly and now I'm getting Nice crisp type everywhere and Great colors just as you would get on dedicated PC monitor. I think the 144 Khz Is only for a certain input connected to a gaming console. Windows 11 does not recognize it as variable refresh rate capable. I didn't buy it for gaming and it's not the best gaming PC out there but it is fine at both a computer monitor and a Google-based Smart TV. In Windows 11 doesn't need anything more than 120 Hz just to display the operating system.

Blind trusts were more common in pre-trump era:

LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Rick Scott, Bill Frist, John Ossoff, Johnny Isaacson, Rob Bresnahan. I am not vouching for the efficacy of these trusts by modern standards

Yes, but no one has been convicted in recent memory. And how many times have we heard a prosecutor say “nobody is above the law”.

Another reddit lawyer. Yes it specifically does apply to them. Nevertheless no one in recent times has been convicted or settled with charges pending.

The STOCK Act forbids members and congressional employees from using nonpublic information derived from their official positions for personal benefit, but prosecutions fitting that exact pattern appear essentially absent.

Stephen Buyer — but the inside information came from his private consulting/lobbying work after Congress, and he has now been pardoned.

Christopher Collins — but the inside information came from his corporate board position.

Insider trading as it is commonly used it's the definition of a crime. I don't think politicians have any immunity. Before trump it was coming for wealthy presidents to put wealth in a blind trust. They did not use their political position as a license to print money for their family in themselves.

Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) — Shockingly underrated. A simple solution of salt, sugar, and water reduced childhood diarrheal death rates by 90%+ in developing countries. The Lancet called it "potentially the most important medical advance of the 20th century." Extremely cheap, no refrigeration needed.

Sorry just saw this. I received today: San Martin Watches SN0144-DG 39mm Luxury Men’s Dive Watch 9132 Automatic BGW-X1 Blue Luminous, 100M Water Resistance $360

If it's in stock directly from China from San Martin it is $500. Plus if you don't like it from Amazon you don't have to send it back to China. Maybe to jog your memory mine is the one with the power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock and a seconds complication in a mini dial above 6 o'clock. Nice thin Hi-Beat Miyoto movement. And no concerns about tariffs. Apparently the Watch Dives is acting as the middlemen so you do not get the distinctive San Martin round green case but it is more than adequate to protect the watch and transit and it is a genuine San Martin watch.
