The phones are so big these days, your thumb has to go on a pilgrimage to reach the top URL. By locating it on the bottom, it's so much more accessible.

Yeah but they still left stuff at the top, like if you open all your tabs the "X" is still up there.

My main annoyance with it is now the top part of the phone doesn't do dark mode as of this change.

TopicApple Wallet to get verifiable covid-19 vaccination cards (in the US)

https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/21/apple-wallet-is-getting-verifiable-covid-19-vaccination-cards/

Theres a real chance youll need proof of a COVID-19 vaccination to enter certain venues, and Apple is hoping it can save you the hassle of digging up an email or carrying a physical card in your pocket. The company is bringing verifiable COVID-19 vaccination cards to Wallet as part of a future iPhone software update. The feature will take advantage of the international SMART Health Cards standard (already in use in several states) to produce proof of vaccination, sign it with a private key and create a public key to verify your info.

The just-released iOS 15 already lets you store verifiable vaccination and test results in the Health app using the same standard. Youll receive your records through QR codes, downloadable files or healthcare providers who use Health Records on iPhone.

Apple is promising strict privacy for all your data. The company wont have access to your imported or shared records, and all info must be encrypted and securely stored when transferred elsewhere. The tech giant also cant see your vaccination card or how youve used it. You can share information with approved third-party apps, but only on a one-time basis.

Apple didnt say when it might release the card update. This wont thrill you if youre anxious about the very concept of sharing your vaccination status with a concert venue or restaurant. However, it should at least streamline the process important when youre already running late for a show.

The problem is they don't. The Conservatives actively kinda talk down to the cities (that aren't Toronto) and assume it is a lost cause to NDP voting. Thus the reason why Saskatoon (for example) is cut into three seats with huge amounts of rural voters and splitting the Saskatoon vote.

The fact that Winnipeg has ridings that are both city and rural voters is so fucking stupid.

Like one of the ridings that's split like that, the Conservative who keeps winning in it literally never campaigns in the city. I drove through the riding the other day and saw literally one single campaign sign in 15 minutes. Even the PPC candidate had a significant number of signs up all over.

I think they showed that so that you would realize that she has nothing going on for her in her life which is why shes focusing all of her efforts into the school and improving its reputation.

But it doesn't explain why she's basically outright evil.

And they didn't even go anywhere with that. Why haven't we been given any glimpses into her home life? Where is her husband in all this? There's no way he wouldn't have been at the open house. Like there was literally a scene solely involving Maureen and the guy she's seeing at her home, and we can't even get a second scene of Hope outside of the school?

Also it'd be one thing if she was just established to be a sad pathetic asshole like Mr. Groff was, in her own way, but there's been so many other things that have happened (Like, for example, her first interaction with Jackson being to assume Adam was actually Jackson and thus Head Boy) that like I said, it just falls into the comically evil category. Basically her only character development the entire season (so far) is to just become a bigger asshole each episode.

TopicMississippi Governor announces bold plan to do nothing to stop COVID

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/09/mississippi-governor-announces-bold-plan-to-do-nothing-to-stop-covid

A few months into the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that the COVID crisis could cause a similar level of devastation as the 1918 influenza pandemic without sufficient government intervention. That was the mother of all pandemics and truly historic, Fauci said in July 2020. I hope we dont even approach that with this, but it does have the makings of the possibility of...approaching that in seriousness. The comparison, which came as the United States was closing in on 150,000 deaths, didnt seem all that unreasonable, but it sent the Trump White House into a fit. Not only is that false, then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows seethed to Fox News. It is irresponsible to suggest so.

More than a year later, it turns out Meadows was kind of right. Coronavirus really isnt like the 1918 fluits actually worse. The U.S. on Monday reached 675,000 COVID deaths, the approximate number of Americans that died during the influenza pandemic of 1918 to 1921. The scale of that loss would be difficult to process under any circumstance. But the continued drumbeat of death is even more maddening, given the availability of free, life-saving vaccines that we did not have in the pandemic a century ago.

https://twitter.com/peterhotez/status/1439575771073368067

That the U.S. has access to vaccines that much of the world does not, and still cant bring the crisis under control, is owing in large part to the incompetence and recklessness of politicians like Tate Reeves, who wont stop playing politics with the pandemic, even as the people they were elected to serve die from the virus in stunning numbers. Reeves, the Mississippi governor, is presiding over one of the most devastating outbreaks not just in America, but the world. But in an interview with CNNs Jake Tapper on Sunday, he defended his response, making clear he would not do anything different.

Governor, if Mississippi were a country, you would have the second worst per capita death toll in the world, a weary-looking Tapper told Reeves. And Im saying: Are you going to do anything to try to change that?

The reality is the Delta variant is very transmissible and it is moving around the country, Reeves replied after some gibberish about deaths being a lagging indicator. If you want to talk about cases right now, talk about Kentucky or West Virginia or whats happening in North Carolina or moving into southern Virginia.

Im going to ask you about your state, Tapper returned, scrutinizing Reeves political stand against the Biden administrations more assertive efforts to combat COVID. Hes trying to save lives, Tapper said of President Joe Biden. And Im saying to you: Your way is not working.

https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/1439588188201308172

Im saying, are you going to do anything to change that, Tapper continued, and Im not hearing an answer.

Thats because Reeves, along with other reckless governors like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, doesnt have a good answerjust the same reflexive outrage and hyperbolic nonsense equating vaccine mandates to an attack on the American people. In the midst of a pandemic that has already taken over 660,000 lives, I proposed a requirement for COVID vaccines, and the governor of that state calls it a tyrannical-type move, Biden said last week. This is the worst kind of politics.

Throughout this pandemic, the right has followed Donald Trumps lead in downplaying the crisis and greatly exaggerating the infringements on personal liberty posed by public health precautions. Combine that with a threat like coronavirus and its even more infectious Delta variant, and its perhaps no surprise that the country will hit a number of pandemic deaths in a year and a half what it took about three years to reach in the influenza crisis. There has been some cause for optimism of late, thanks to Bidens more aggressive moves and Pfizers announcement Monday that its vaccine has proven safe and effective in kidssetting the stage for shots to be rolled out to school-aged children later this fall. But the pandemic isnt through with us yet. The U.S. will surpass the death toll of the crisis that Fauci described last year as the mother of all pandemicsbut, he warned Sunday, could avoid even more devastation if it can overcome vaccine holdouts.

Do you think that the United States could see a million deaths due to COVID before this is all over? Tapper asked Fauci Sunday.

I certainly hope not, Fauci said. I hope not. I dont believe at all that that is something that is an inevitability by any means...Remember, we have about 70 million people in the population who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not yet gotten vaccinated. If we can get most of those people vaccinated...we will not see the kinds of deaths that you just mentioned.

Darnold played 3 games against New England, threw 1 TD to 6 INTs, and of course had the infamous "I'm seeing ghosts" game against them on Monday Night Football.

Right now Zach Wilson is bouncing between completing less than half and half of his passes, and threw 3 INTs in the first half.

Geno Smith's first game against NE he also threw 3 INTs.

Mark Sanchez's first game was okay, but his second game (of his rookie year) he threw 4 INTs and didn't even complete 10 passes.
