Honestly, it’s really not. It’s rather trivial to find marriage records to find the original name.

Maybe it’s the same for legal name changes, I don’t know. I’ve never searched for it before.

But anytime I’ve had to find out someone’s maiden name, it’s been trivial for me to do so.

The law doesn’t apply to changes due to marriage.

There probably aren’t too many others who have had a name change.

Ugh, why’d they have to get NDT to do that anyway.

He just seeps with smug assholery.

Solution is stop using delivery services.

My Plex is ready.

I own the push mower version.

That was true of the first gen batteries. They lasted a year and then stopped holding a charge.

There are second gen batteries that seem to be holding up better, I’ll be going into my third year with them soon so we’ll see.

They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

Good. Influencers are a plague.

I never watched x-files when it aired.

I tried to watch it a few years back but only made it to season 2. Maybe it gets better later, but the show was so formulaic that I grew bored of it pretty quick.

It happens, but it’s limited to mastectomies.

There is also the argument that messing with hormones during puberty is probably not a great idea.

If anything, that supports the idea that the poll numbers should be even harder against the war than they are reported.

It was all part of an effort to economically hurt Russia in response to the war.

Best case scenario was Russia deciding the hit to their economy was not worth the war and back pedaling. No one realistically thought this was going to happen though.

The next best case scenario was for the changes in quality of life for the average Russian would create enough internal pressure that the war would be called off.

This hasn’t happened yet but internal support for the war has been dropping over the last year and some of that is attributed to the dismal state of the Russian economy, which is a direct result of things like Lush pulling out.

And even if neither of these come up fruition, the more Russias economy is damaged the harder it is to fund their war effort. This gives Ukraine a bit more breathing room in their war effort.

While the effect of a single company like Lush is unnoticed, it’s the collective effect of everything from these pullouts, to trade sanctions and other soft power diplomatic plays which total up to a noticable effect.

A lot of people.

Just because things don’t turn out how you hoped doesn’t mean you didn’t make the right decision at the time with the information that was available.

Too often we judge past actions only through the lens of hindsight. It’s useful for learning what went wrong but it’s not useful for judging if something was the right decision or not.

I’ll tell you that it’s super nice to be able to watch things with other people in the car while you are all waiting on the car to charge.

Also, you don’t have to hold a phone and the screen is better.

S2 was ordered before all of S1 even aired.

I’m not giving up mobile deposit.

Leave my house? Duck that.

This is how politics works and how it should work.

The sides involved have competing goals and work together to pass legislation which addresses both their goals.

This isn’t weakness.

Deflecting, are we?

It’s very easy to replace Israel with another state in the same place without killing or moving everyone.

Israel is an ethnostate. Ethnostates are bad. Ethnostates that are religiously motivated are doubly bad.

Israel could be a secular state that treated all ethnicities equally with zero loss in life or need for anyone to leave the area.

They chose not to.

It’s not antisemitism to acknowledge this.
