Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress.

I really don’t like Lower Decks. Before you downvote, I would never tell anyone it’s bad or that they shouldn’t like it. I just really can’t figure out why most people seem to like it so much....
I’m with you, OP. I tried to watch LD but found the hyperactive characters and cynicism were just too much.
I’m glad it has a following, but I do kinda wish people would shut up about it on occasion. All of the trek fan sites are overwhelmingly about LD anymore, like it’s the only trek show out there.
Yes. I don’t like to look at or touch my phone while I’m driving. Its dangerous. CarPlay makes it safer and easier to control my phone - from which I play my music and do my navigation. My current car has Bluetooth, so the music works, but I still have to use my phone to control it. Which as I said, I don’t like to do.
It’s always the same pattern: After a few hours I decide to sort everything because it runs out of control but then I never do it again so it’s getting worse than before....
We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month.

I’d love for them to build such a facility at or near their world HQ, which in my old hometown, but sadly it’s in a red state whose government is deep in the pockets of fossil fuel companies.
There are inspiring, epic quotes in Star Trek. Words that stir the soul, shining a light on paths to a brighter now and a better future. But, what about those bits of dialog that don’t have a stirring message, that you enjoy just because you enjoy them?...
Don’t really know how to explain this. I like sci fi and would love to dig deeper into it. Am avid reader and enjoyed Project Hail Mary (though set in space, this book is just amazing), Dune, short stories by Ray Bradbury and TV shows like Raised by the Wolves, Westworld, From (love From!). But e.g. Foundation I really...
I thought, coconut milk is made by soaking the white bits of coconut fruit (“flesh”) in water; while the coconuts naturally contain a clear liquid called “coconut juice” or “coconut water”....
DragonWasabi milk is not water with DragonWasabi flesh soaked in it. To get DragonWasabi milk, you grate DragonWasabi flesh, pulverise it (Using a juicer for example) and then squeeze or strain the result, seperating DragonWasabi milk from the chaff.
DragonWasabi water is just the water inside a DragonWasabi.

Hi, I just unpacked an iPhone and I noticed this weird widget that was pre-added to my home-screen. Looks like it is ads! Is this a new normal behavior for Apple?...
Siri suggestions are just recommendations from the Siri search engine, based on your input. Since the device was new out of the box, it didn’t have any decent input yet so it just looks like a “random ad”. After using the phone for a while, the Siri suggestions will be more in tune with your habits (like your favorite traffic app for commuting, your upcoming calendar events, etc).
Apple doesn’t sell advertising space on their Home Screen.
