Could legal action have been taken before Titan started diving?

I'm a law professor in a non-US country and my mind jas been mulling this question over.

Could an injunction have been granted to prevent Titan from taking paying passengers? I know Will Kohnen mentioned that they chose not to sue because it would look weird coming from a competitor and then they wrote that letter that never got sent. Was suing really not an option? What other legal remedies could there have been?

I need some advice on dosage and diet

Hi everyone.

I've been losing weight steadily over 4 years. I've lost around 45kg / 100lbs, current weight 100kg / 220 lbs and I am on 1mg of ozempic. I'd like to lose another 10 - 12kg / 20 - 25lbs for now.

In June and July I hit a plateau with no weight loss despite tracking calories and macros and since then I've been struggling with my eating habits. I haven't gained any weight back, and I haven't been tracking calories but I know my food choices were not great (too many carbs, nit enough protein) and I had some food noise as well.

My therapist suggested that I continue to not track calories because I am really tired of weighing ALL my food all the time and I feel it's not sustainable anymore, but I don't know anything else. I've been on a near constant cycle of binge / restrict for many, many years prior to 2022. He suggested that I try intuitive eating and implementing the portion control I have now learned but I have such a long history of disordered eating prior to this big weight loss that I really don't trust myself around food.

I can overeat through my 1mg, butI don't want to be one of those people who can't eat a thing, so I'm not very eager to increase my dosage.

My questions are basically, has anyone has success with weight loss while not strictly counting calories, and without going to 2mg of Ozempic? What are some tips and strategies for implementing portion control? Has anyone had success with meal prep and pre-portioned meals?

I'm just scared and not trusting myself to not gain everything back. I've literally never maintained weight loss for this long in my life. I just need some support from people who understand or have beem through something similar.

Book recommendations request please

I would really like to read up on how European countries turned Protestant, starting from Prussia. Does anyone have recommendations? Google has suggested these:

The Reformation: A History by Diarmaid MacCulloh (reminds me of Hermione saying Hogwarts: A History)

The European Reformations by Carter Lindberg

Theology of the Reformers by Timothy George

I'm open to ideas! Audiobooks welcome too.

Thanks!

Jonsson workwear clothing quality

Hi everyone.

I really, really suffer with cold in winter and end up wearing 5 layers to keep warm. For office workwear purposes, has anyone bought Jonsson's clothing? I want to know if the quality is worth the price and if the items are properly warm. I'm specifically interested in the knitwear.

Or if anyone has any other recommendations for really good, warm ladies business casual clothing, please let a freezing girl know.

My growing succulent collection

I wanted to share my succulents with folks I know will appreciate them. I'm in South Africa and succulents absolutely thrive here.

My favourites are my variegated elephant's food, my large leaf elephant's food and my variegated jade. I do however adore kalanchoe as well. I have two somewhat rare spotted kalanchoe too.

My SIL gave me an orchid she thought was fully dead. After a few weeks, I see the tiniest beginnings of a new root!
