Nope, the movie takes place in Utqiagvik (formerly known as Barrow), Alaska, which is one of the northernmost populated areas on earth. From the Wikipedia page:

When the sun sets on November 18, it stays below the horizon until January 23, resulting in a polar night that lasts about 66 days.[37] When the polar night starts, about 6 hours of civil twilight occur, with the amount decreasing each day during the first half of the polar night. On the winter solstice (around December 21 or December 22), civil twilight in Utqiagvik lasts a mere 3 hours.[34][38] After this, the amount of civil twilight increases each day to around 6 hours at the end of the polar night.

Edit: to OP’s point, most depictions of the Arctic aren’t that far north. 30 Days of Night happens to be one that really does have that level of continual darkness. Even so, while it’s night for several months, it’s really just the day shortening to the point that you don’t see the sun with that civil twilight reducing to a few hours, and then as the “days” get longer eventually you start to see the sun again. The reverse happens for the summer, where eventually the sun doesn’t set enough to be out of view.

You can override the icon anyway. Instead of using the X app, I have a Firefox shortcut for x.com but it’s called Twitter and has the bird app icon instead of a big X.

Is there a reason it needs to be an app? I was in a similar situation and what worked best for me was just replacing the YouTube app with a Firefox shortcut to YouTube.com. I’m still logged in and the uBlock Origin extension strips the ads out. I think the Sponsorblock extension should also work with this system.

In general I’ve just started replacing apps with annoying ads with either a Firefox webapp or a Firefox shortcut. Works great and reduces the app count on my phone too.

Thanks for this, the article was well worth the read

It’s because citrus is acidic, it’s a very common trigger of acid reflux. Same goes for tomatoes, especially in a concentrated form like a sauce.

At the risk of being dogpiled, I’d like to try to have some discussion on this.

Up front, I want to say that Ohio does a lot of dumb shit, trans rights are human rights, and weaponizing random laws against queer people is bullshit.

It seems clear to me that:

• There is a reasonable motivation for requiring reporting of recent name changes, and the exception for marriage is due to this being extremely common. The article states that this usually came up in the past when people wanted to run with a nickname rather than their given name.
• Not stating this requirement on the form is stupid and bad.
• This is compounded by the lack of a box for a former name, practically guaranteeing that this information is omitted.
• All of this is a problem that should be fixed. The Republic governor has acknowledged this, according to a quote from the article.

What isn’t clear to me is that this is selectively enforced against trans people. We only know about the cases where it has happened to trans people because those are the cases that are being reported on. It is not surprising that a cis person encountering a bureaucratic annoyance because they put the name they go by rather than their birth name on the form was not considered newsworthy.

The vibe I get from this is that this is ragebait where the headline invites the reader to jump to conclusions while the contents of the article suggest that this is actually just a stupid case of the government being bad at making a form (something I have personally encountered a lot).

I’m totally fine with being proven wrong, it wouldn’t be surprising in the slightest if there is malicious intent here. Is there evidence of selective enforcement here?

Believe me, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case, and I 100% think this is wrong.

My take here is that filling out a government form and having it be rejected because you didn’t put required information that isn’t stated as required into a box that the form doesn’t have and getting denied/made to redo it is an extremely plausible scenario. In the case of a cis person being denied this way, it’s a mundane bit of bureaucratic nonsense that nobody would blink an eye at.

The article states:

The law has been in place in some form for decades, though it’s rarely been used and usually arises in the context of candidates wishing to use a nickname.

The fact that this law has been identified as a real problem for trans people and that there is a quote in the article from the (Republican) governor saying “this is bad, we should fix it” strikes me as acknowledgement that this dumb rule is disproportionately affecting trans people and should be fixed.

We have a depressing number of real examples of malicious use of the law against trans people, so all I’m saying is that this one doesn’t seem worth getting fired up about unless there is evidence of actual malicious intent here.

I’m going with Hanlon’s Razor on this one and assuming this is just a really stupid bureaucratic failure where a form doesn’t have a box for required info that it doesn’t tell you is required. Curious if there are similar examples for name changes by cis people, which I wouldn’t expect to be newsworthy. Regardless it needs to be fixed.

I typically go to a book first, and Google or search a cocktail forum if I can’t find anything. I highly recommend The Cocktail Codex, fantastic cocktail book.

The apps I’ve tried have been forgettable and a lot less useful than I’d hoped.

Before you can even entertain the arguments in this article, don’t you first need to address the barrier to entry of installing an operating system in the first place? This isn’t even a hurdle specific to Linux, I don’t really think the average user has the technical know-how to install any operating system onto a computer.

The issue is that this presents as false equivalence. While that is clearly not what you believe for this situation, the meme reads as a difficult choice between two equally bad options.

Look, I’m just asking you to do anything

I’ve been subscribed to Moustache Coffee club for years and they’re wonderful. They send their coffees in a vacuum sealed package so you can hold onto them for months and whenever you open it they’ll still be fresh. Selection is great and ever rotating, I’ve had positive experiences with the customer service for the rare mishap (which is usually USPS’s fault), would recommend.
