Here's an article with a graph. Given that the figures are measured per 100,000 live births, one would need to find how many births occurred in the state of Texas in the years graphed. I was able to find that exact figure for 2022 in a document from the CDC (on page 8) which comes out to 389,533. Since the overall Texas maternal mortality rate was about 28.5 per 100k births for that year (per the news article), the total number of mortalities would have been about 110.

If you want I could go find the figure for earlier years as well, but this should serve as a general ballpark the numbers are in. Keep in mind that the maternal mortality rate only factors in live births, so does not include any pregnancy complications involving an unviable fetus.

And road design factors into the average driver's speed far more than a sign with with a number on it

Aren't there still massive issues with the Colorado River running dry? Hopefully they're not too dependant on that water source for their chips

I mean, that's already true and why the federation model is used in the first place. If another instance can't be trusted, you can disconnect your own from it (extremely easy if you self-host, if you are a standard member of a larger instance it might require convincing)

I think there's a difference between using pre established characters and settings vs wholesale copy pasting someone else's entire work to sell as one's own (or directly and solely profit off of, regardless of whether credit is given). Whether or not there is a legal distinction between the two in terms of copyright, there's absolutely a line to be drawn on overt plagiarism.

And likewise, the sellers could be polite, ask permission and potentially settle on some amount of royalty payments, or they could just do it, make their money, and ask for forgiveness afterwards or just take down the listing and find another artist's work to repackage

I'd love a stting where the windows just casually wobble more and more until your entire screen is just triangle artifacts

[-] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 8 months ago

Y'all are crazy, I like to know where my window is with decent precision when I move it around. Is there a way to have the windows wobble by default but turn off/tighten up while holding shift or something? I might try it out if this is an option

Something I don't think anyone is talking about is that, if this is now considered a ToS violation, Google will probably decide at some point to start banning accounts over it. Oh, you use adblock? Now your email, Drive documents, and photos are gone.

I mean, polyester and nylon are also petroleum-based so will eventually degrade into microplastics as well...

The cars themselves have connectivity that can be transmitted over cellular networks (same as/similar to whatever OnStar uses). Plus if you ever connect your phone via Bluetooth to listen to music or plug it directly into the car with a cable that can transfer data, standard protocol on a lot of cars is to just download everything off the phone that it can access.
