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.

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.

The K Hive?

There are many stories of people being confronted with the fact that their beloved grandfather or uncle or whoever had been a nazi who killed hundreds of people in the holocaust. Should we soften the discussion of that evil to protect the feeling of their descendants? This man’s children should live with the fact that every comfort they have in life was purchased with the blood and tears of people their father considered worthless.

I know this is more of a meme community but in all seriousness that is the absolute ideal attitude for a president to have. “I’m here to do something and once I’m done I’m out.”

Whether he or anyone else holds to that is a different matter, of course.

Is she taking Buddha by the hand?

Well, except REAGAN of all people, who told them to settle the fuck down on Lebanon, called it a genocide, and got the IOF to back off.

Ronald “AIDS is no concern, fuck the working class” Reagan was better on Israel than Joe Biden.

A couple years back I saw a tweet from a therapist saying that something like 90% of their patients would not need therapy if they made more money.

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.

Candace Owens and Dan Bilzerian as well.

To be fair I’m pretty sure Candace Owens is an antisemite first and a critic of Israel only because of that. Same with Dan Bilzerian, he apparently blames the Jews for the holodomor (the Soviet genocide against Ukraine.)

It also just functions to launder their money. If you can name a philanthropic organization it’s probably structured as a tax shelter for one or several billionaires.

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.

A local coffee shop was doing an espresso tonic this summer. 16 oz glass filled with ice, tonic water, double shot of espresso, and a shot of blood orange syrup. It was incredible.
