What kind of hospital let him get near the room with that kind of metal around his neck? I've had to be in several hospitals recently for different imaging issues and every time the MRI is a thing I have to remove everything metal to go past a certain door (escorting my daughter and son for medical reasons). I don't know who let him anywhere near the room with something that large.

Edit for Clarity: I've had to be the one removing all metal even though I'm not the one being scanned. For me to progress beyond a certain part of the hospital toward the MRI I needed to get rid of everything. My children were being scanned, not me. So, I'm not sure what hospital system allowed this man with a 9kg chain get this far deep into the imaging area.

I always knew lizardpeople were behind knitting. Thanks for the confirmation.

It's called Digital Wellbeing now, but same idea.

You can also set "Screen Time Reminders" that pop up every 5 minutes to show you how long you've been in the app.

Also, in this same space, you can set App Limits and set a certain amount of time an app is available while using the screen. This is not counted if it's in the background or the screen is off. So, if you have a limit on Youtube, but use it in the background to listen to podcasts or music it doesn't count towards the limits.

I don't know of any other app that provides the kind of basic functionality already built into the OS. Also, if they update to suddenly do something nefarious, you've given them admin permissions to know app usage, and draw over apps so they can show you the time. What else could they do with those permissions if you just update without reading fully?

I mean, that's the point, right? The only way they can offer those "experiences" is to process your data. We need to get off the teat of convenience and learn to use the tools and want to put a little effort into things again. We've relied on them to just feed us the information in the way we want it for so long, we've forgotten how it got there originally. We can do it. It's okay to take 5 minutes and put that info into Calendar. Learn how to formulate the searches to get your information, and alternatives to make sure you've covered your bases. READ THE BOOK/BLOG/EMAIL YOUR DAMN SELF and write a summary in your own words.

No, the rights remain, but police do have some requirements due to policy and procedure.

Per this lawyer blog:

Police are not required to read your Miranda rights before or during arrest. While some officers may choose to do so, they are only legally obligated to “Mirandize” suspects who are being questioned in custody.

It's a good read overall to get the history of what Miranda Rights are and why people feel so passionately about them. They're basically the 5th and 6th amendments, and reading them to the suspect reminds them that they have specific rights.

I believe you can't get the whole case thrown out, but if the rights were not read and the person has a decent enough lawyer much of the testimony given under duress can be called into question. This can cause issues in a case like this and prosecuting attorneys will have to fight that his testimony is still good. The jury is not going to like it.

Yeah, never did well with those games at the fair either.

Some of it is going to be guessing at this stage. There are a lot of numbers missing, so you won't know until you take a guess and start filling things out.

Is the "no guessing" thing just a limit you placed on yourself?
