No, half the country voted for this. Or failed to vote against it.

I went on a trip to Oslo and Bergen last summer. I'd love to go back; they're great places for mixing hiking and city exploration.

Inasmuch. It is the totem pole trench of words.

I think this would fall in to the latter scenario. 46 billion light years is the edge of the observable universe in the sense that light emitted by those regions has reached us by now. But these regions are beyond the cosmic event horizon, which is the distance at which light emitted now will ever reach us. That distance is about 17 billion light years.

Is there any point at which the distance becomes too large to the extreme where you basically get “deleted” from existence?

This is basically what the definition of "observable universe" is. It is the part of the universe that is close enough in space and time for light to reach us. So if you say they get transported to the observable part of the universe, then yes, their signals will eventually reach earth. But the closer they are to the edge of the observable universe, the longer the signals will take to reach, and the more red shifted they will be due to the expansion of the intermediate space as the signals travel to Earth.

Note that there are some semantics at play; "observable universe" might refer to the parts of the universe that have emitted light in the past that is reaching earth now. But the the light emitted by those places now might never reach Earth because they are now too far away. So if these astronauts got sent to one of those places then no, their signals would not reach earth.

I'd love to see more of this.

How is the definition of theft determined? Typically the definition is determined by the government. Why would the government define its own funding source as theft?

We have Al Gore!

HIPAA allows medical care providers to share your information with each other for the purposes of providing care (whether that sharing happens through MyChart or some other means). It does not require your consent (and this could be a good thing if, for example, you were taken to a hospital while unconscious). You simply may not have a lot of options for preventing this. As NOT_RICK mentioned, you could opt out of Care Everywhere at the psychiatric hospital to prevent them from sharing your information that way. You could also try to amend their record or request that they restrict access to your records, as per https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html#general. All of those options would require interacting with the original psychiatric hospital, so if you're unwilling to do that, I'm not aware that there are other options available.
