Legally speaking the last war the US declared was WWII. Everything else has been heavily armed police actions. Congress declares war but the President is head of the military and does what he wants with the money Congress provides. Which seams like a disctintion without a difference except when it comes to “wartime” provisions in laws, services, and insurance.
I use Proton which comes with SimpleLogin for email aliases. Then you can have one inbox but not only can you easily filter out the spam but if you’re careful you can prove who sold it. If you generate an alias and use it only for Reebok, and then you get an email to that address selling you socks you know it was Reebok that sold you data to Big Sock.

Amitriptyline It has been a literal life saver. Struggling to fall asleep and fighting chronic pain for 15 years before someone recommended it. First couple months I was narcoleptic but after my body adjusted I have a regular sleep schedule for once in my life and can be active again instead of all my energy going to fight spinal-cerebral pain.
There’s a difference between whether or not a file format supports features and a software supporting the file format. A tractor can have loads of features and still not be the right fit for you if it does fit in your barn. Doesn’t mean the tractor doesn’t have those features. DDR5 can be better then DDR4 and yet not all motherboards support it. It is trivial to convert from webp to the file format you need for your unique situation. Its supported baseline by browsers and use on the web is its best case. I make websites that allow people to customize SOLIDWORKS CAD files. SOLIDWORKS doesn’t support webp: I still use it on the website wherever possible and if someone uploads in webp I just convert to jpg before inserting into SOLIDWORKS.
I weep for the web server that has to serve those size images. I can typically cut webserver bandwidth in half by converting all non svg images to webp. Have had one project where this cut the network fee by 80% and allowed us to downgrade the rented server space.
WebP has all the functionality of jpg, gif, and png with better compression ratios.
Typically you can invoke your 5th amendment right for spouses as well but you don’t have to.
Don’t lie. You owe them the truth and it’s a learning opportunity for them to grow emotionally before having to deal with a human death. Emotional Intelligence is just as important as being able to read.
Analogies can help but don’t hide behind them. Greive together. Have a gesture, no matter how simple that encourages closure. Perhaps go through photos of the pet with them and ask which should be framed or printed or put on the fridge or something like that.
Talk to them about the emotions you are having, how those emotions feel and allow them to also have emotions, especially in the coming weeks when they miss them. But you don’t have to lie about what you are feeling or make a huge deal about. Don’t rush to fill the void too quickly. Comfort, yes, perhaps a new pet in due time. But not immediately as that cheapens the connection from being with an individual to being a role.
It sounds cruel for me to say I hope your kid has to endure many human deaths in their life but the alternative is either for them to have far too short of a life or for then to become unattached.
And I hope they will also be there for their friends when their friends have to deal with a loss. Kids model behaviour more then they do as they are taught, so it’s an opportunity to model that kind of behavior and emotional support.
I was homeschooled 2nd grade thru high school. Best thing to ever happen to me. I would not have been diagnosed with ADHD at the time because I suffered from hyperfocus, not hyperactivity. I would do one subject a day instead of constantly switching. Hundreds of field trips to historical sites, museums, science centers you name it, but I also had a lot of socializion with other homeschoolers through co-ops, meet ups, honor society as well as with other peers through scouts and community sports. I don’t think of myself as being socially awkward at all and in fact in scouts I was unanimously voted in as chapter chief, then in community college was so popular won their equivalent to homecoming king. In college and uni I was the guy people came to to help them understand concepts if they didn’t get the way the professor taught it. What I do notice as a difference from folks who were public schooled is that my personal bubble is larger and I didn’t go stir crazy working from home during the pandemic. And I don’t touch other people without their consent. It kinda weirds me out internally when people randomly touch my elbow or pat me on my back, especially when I’m focused and working but I’m working on accepting it. That no touch without consent has really helped me connect with folks with ASD and led to some great connections with people who never thought they could.

I love wiki.JS Spun up several sites with it.
Been using it as my daily driver for months. Love it.
No you can’t choose anything. Because cruel and unusual punishment is banned by the Constitution, sometimes courts say “you can’t execute a person that specific way because it’s cruel or unusual.” When lawmakers make new methods sometimes they have fallbacks to older methods to make sure the execution goes through reguardless of court rulings like that. A death row inmate’s lawyer might request a different execution method: if it’s one of the fallbacks the state may allow it and show the court saying “it isn’t cruel if it’s what they choose” and avoid an expensive appeal. In this case she has chosen a method not available in Tennessee, perhaps as a delay tactic to get more time for an appeal or different judges or perhaps even a stay of execution from a Governor. Trump has become famous for selling pardons which more or less expunges your conviction. Governors and Presidents also have the power to commute a sentence which says you’re still guilty but I reduce your sentence, typically down to time served. This is typically used when what they did is no longer illegal such as marijuana possession. As well as stay of execution, which, depending on the state, either switches you to a life sentence or just delays the execution.
