AP's move is a little self-serving as smaller news orgs are likely to use AP's services (as well as Reuters').
HOWEVER, I think this is a good thing as AP and Reuters' normally provide news based on facts written by real people.
A few companies are buying up TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations and presenting opinion as news. Sinclair's TV news is one example.
TIL rabies and drunkenness have similar signs.
Maybe some of the people I've met really were sick on the head and not just drunk.
It does not prevent people from voting.
It may, however, amplify distortions of the truth or bold-face lies.
With regards to AIPAC it amplifies the voice of a group that is ONLY concerned with the advancement of Israeli interests.
Forums are alive and well when looking for car info. Whenever I get a different car I look for communities with the most activity and that is usually a forum.
The one exception I can think of (proving the post to be true) is the first generation Tundra (2000-2007). The FB group had more current news than the forums and I managed to get banned (first time ever).
"Sounds like we can't trust the IDF."
Fixed that for you.
I get the reference but it is odd that you connected this to that.
Where you circumcized after you became sexually active?
If not, how would you know there is no loss?
I started typing everything below and then remembered most people that modify their exhausts want attention and most of these people with loud cars are young. They usually grow out of it.
I used a loud radio in my car to get mine when young. I still like loud music but keep it to myself.
Original reply
I've almost always lived in places where there was a mechanical inspection or smog inspection. There were a few times I had to temporarily let my car be loud and I hated it. These times were only when I was waiting on parts or talent.
Some people play the cat-and-mouse game with loud, modified exhausts and fix them when caught. Others like to modify their ECU so the car makes popping noises when decelerating.
I had a No Mow Spring in my backyard. The yard was cut down less than a week ago because I could not go out there for 10 minutes without my eyes starting to hurt. It was worse if I tried to kill the invasives. My area has had a terrible allergy season.
Cat pic in the yard - https://lemm.ee/post/33672371
It is mostly non-native grass mixed in with invasives. There is ONE native plant I put in. Baby steps. I will add a few more natives during planting season.
Someone is asking the real questions. The AI answer may be garbage but appreciate the initiative.
It's all good, I got a reason to post a a John F. Zoidberg meme.

I didn't cut the grass this spring and it got over two feet tall in most places. This guy went out there everyday like it was his job. Grass was cut this week but he is still out here doing his thing.
A symbolic boycott is important. They still picked a side in this mess.
Damn, I admit I was guessing after looking at the headlines. Glad to hear someone is attempting to do it safely.
I am familiar with engineering and was amazed at all the corners cut by Oceangate.
There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.
Please don't lump me in with Stockton. I may be a moron in many respects but I disagree with his whole approach the endeavor.
Safety rules are usually written in blood and ignored all of them.
