This was not a typical bankruptcy auction, and part of the trustee’s role was to ensure an outcome that was acceptable to those injured by Jones, eg the Sandy Hook families.

No, not really.

Does the DMCA protect claimants against liability if they make incorrect or spurious claims?

If you read the article, the alleged victim says she went to the VMAs without a ticket and started asking limo drivers if she could get into an afterparty. Diddy’s driver said she looked like what Diddy wanted.

It’s not even apathy for a lot of people. It’s jubilation that someone whose wealth directly came from making others’ lives shorter and more miserable got his life shortened.

“Oops, now I read and write Hungarian. Can’t pronounce it for shit, though.”

I worked for Apple for 12 years, most of that as a liaison between front line hardware service locations and AppleCare engineering. Battery swelling is a normal Li-ion failure mode that is not related to leaving a device connected to its charger. If Apple had any evidence of that they would decline warranty service on swollen batteries based on the system report of how long it was connected to external power.

The Magic Mouse has the charging port on the bottom because the first gen model used AA batteries and not a built in rechargeable battery. When they moved to the rechargeable battery model, they didn’t want to redesign the whole thing so they put the port on the bottom. It’s bad enough design that Tim Cook uses a Logitech.

Battery swelling in lithium ion batteries occurs due to age, not leaving batteries charging. The battery is designed to stop charging between 95-100% and it has a built in processor to do that.

Regarding the power button and leaving the computer turned on, there are multiple reasons someone might want to turn a computer off when they are not actively using it.

Man, if only a candidate being a moron who kept embarrassing themselves was disqualifying in the USA.

I’m sure she’s far from perfect but so far I really like this new Mexican president.

There is a link between tariffs and food prices, the vast majority of American agriculture is mechanized and the machines and their parts are mostly manufactured overseas. As are the trucks that account for a huge percentage of the distribution network.

Yep, Whole Foods and the Pay ‘n’ Save, basically identical.

Today in “DUH”

Okay, I thought maybe I was taking crazy pills. The western media sure does love gaslighting us.

The description of events in this article does not match what I’ve seen reported elsewhere-that the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were the aggressors.

This is where the “both sides are the same” narrative does hold true. The base is different, but at the top are the wealthy who care only about their power and wealth. Human concerns do not touch them except at the extremes, so they will never really care about the lower class.

I feel like every member of HHS and other agencies should agree to just scream “GET FUCKED, BRAIN WORM” any time he says anything until they are fired or he quits.

I would argue that if you recognize you lack the knowledge to form an opinion, you’re doing better than 90% of people online.

This is insane. When exactly is a permissible age for kids to be walking about on their own?

In Georgia, probably 30.

Do you mean “the left” as in “US democrats” or “the left” as in actual leftists? Because actual leftists have been attacked by every government in power of the US and western industrialized nations since before WWII. That “left” has a damn good reason for lacking a cohesive message.
