You can even see Russia from your backyard.

Feels like we're in a death spiral.

Yes, absolutely. You do have to say that. You don't have to expressly invoke the fifth amendment. You have to invoke your right to be silent. These are two separate things.

I don't know where you're from, but I've read plenty of examples of horrific rapists and murderers in other countries getting only a few years of prison time and then being released. That happens here as well, but I very much approve of the more egregious cases being given prolonged sentences. It's not about punishment; it's about protecting the populace from predators.

That said, we really need to reduce most prison sentences here in the US. So yes, we do very much need the law to allow us to have attorneys present when speaking with police because they will nail you for whatever they can get away with.

Ah, that will do it. Sorry to hear your country doesn't afford the right to have an attorney present. That's at least one thing we've got right here.

I'm not the person you replied to, but I am confused as to what you mean. You don't have to invoke the fifth amendment in order to not speak with police (the fifth amendment is more used in court), but you always have the right to have an attorney present when speaking with police in the US.

That's fair. I mostly want my device to survive if my dog knocks it into the bathtub. This has happened before and it will happen again.

A relatively niche case, to be sure, but thank you for pointing it out.

I can't comment on it personally, no, I've just heard and read about it some.

This article, for example, mentions dosage guidelines: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/naltrexone-oral-route/proper-use/drg-20068408

That's the one. Very effective for people like me, but not very available.

I know everybody hates Amazon and they want an alternative to the Kindle, but my Kindle is waterproof and I almost exclusively want to use it in the bathtub. I also want one that doesn't have a strong backlight and feels natural to look at. The Kindle is damn near perfect.
