Assign a guardian and get notified in real time with an email and text message when a loved one is at risk.

That actually sounds useful… the associated image kinda made me giggle at how fake it looks but the idea is really good.

I believe you are correct.

watt vs watt-hour.

An 800 watt solar system would generate about 5 kwh per day if setup fairly optimally. 5 kwh is a pretty typical laptop battery capacity. 50-100wh is typical for a laptop battery.

Can we please not do the click bait/rage bait thing here?

Only illegal if the maternity leave was the reason, and it can be shown to be the reason. Over 200 people were also laid off at the same time. I have no doubt bungie added them because of the maternity leave, but it’s gonna be really hard to show in a court of law.

Bungie’s layoffs have been devastating. 220 jobs were eliminated yesterday, while other jobs had been shifted over to PlayStation Studios.

Sadly it’s all but impossible to show their layoff was because of maternity leave and not just because they were ‘part of the layoff’…

Hope there’s a paper trail adding them to the list of layoffs because of the maternity leave, but I doubt they’d be stupid enough to put it down on paper.

JFC, I hope there’s a real investigation and the people responsible get fired and prosecuted.

Someone, claiming to be a ‘retired cop’, came to the authorities claiming that some jackass mixed real bullets in with the blanks in the hope of causing an issue on set. The ‘retired cop’ brought some of those bullets and offered to testify under oath. The bullets were not added to evidence in the rust investigation, rather they were filed under a different ID so it was never turned over to the defense. I quote ‘retired cop’ because when this came up at trial, no one was even able to verify if they were actually a retired cop at trial. It appears that they either didn’t bother to validate it, or knew he was a retired cop and it was pretty damming that they suppressed the evidence. (there’s a bunch of other things here too, like the prosecutor knowing about these bullets but used a cell phone picture of them to ‘compare’ them to the bullets recovered on set and magically knowing they were totally different and not worth perusing but not filing charges against the ‘retired cop’ for interfering in the investigation)

The prosecution was either grossly negligent and ‘accidentally’ withheld evidence that could have been exculpatory. Or more likely deliberately suppressed it. Why deliberately? Apparently multiple witnesses the prosecutors interviewed told the defense that the lead procedure said some pretty vile things about Baldwin during the interviews. The lead prosecutor, under oath, was asked if she said these horrible things, and instead of denying it, said she something to the effect of ‘I don’t recall’. If you can’t recall if you called Baldwin a cock sucker during an interview, you shouldn’t be a prosecutor.

This was an absolutely bonkers prosecution and trial. It’s like if your mechanic overfills your tires to 90 PSI and you have a blow out and kill someone, and being prosecuted because you should have personally validated the tires were safe to drive on.

The entire channel has a bunch of great clips from the trail, no commentary, just what happened.

This was BONKERS.

No, racists can’t spell so steam has to censor both of them. :-/

What a shit article. There’s a massive amount of context missing.

7DTD is a game created by The Fun Pimps. Telltale Games bought the rights to produce a console port of the game from TFP. Telltale Games then contracted with Iron Galaxy to produce the port. Telltale Games went bankrupt and it’s assets were liquidated, one of those assets was the rights to produce the console port. TFP managed to buy back the rights to the console port, but were unable to get any of the source code for the console port. It took years to get the rights sorted out, and it wasn’t cheap.

It’s a messed up situation, but console players bought a Playstation 4/XBox One game from Telltale Games, a company that went bankrupt and is defunct, and that sucks. TFP is now starting from scratch to produce a console port for the current generation of consoles and that costs money.

While true, we do have way more going on that password resets. We’ve got DBAs, software devs, Devops.

Have you ever considered working in Higher Ed? We’ve got tech jobs. The pay could be better but the working conditions and benefits are generally good. Layoffs are rare, and layoffs in IT are basically unheard of.

…want to accomplish things that improve the lives of people other than shareholders…

Have you looked into jobs in higher education?

The pay could be better, but it’s not horrible. The benefits and working conditions are generally good. In my many years, I’ve never said ‘wow, that’s unethical’. Worst I’ve had is having to explain how certain policies, which sound good on the surface, are not equitable to all students in all social-economical situations and need to be revised.

Marketing, Communication, and Outreach are totally jobs in higher ed, and you’re not trying to trick someone into buying crap: https://www.higheredjobs.com/admin/search.cfm?JobCat=37&StartRow=-1&SortBy=4&NumJobs=25&filterby=&CatType=

Maybe giving equal training weight to r/sovereigncitizen and r/asklegal wasn’t the best idea.

If I have a gun but the government doesn’t care, am I not exercising my 2a rights?

No, you are not.

You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in owning or procuring a gun.

It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your ability to own a gun, you therefor have a “right to own a gun”. For example, if you do not own a gun, and everyone who does own a gun doesn’t want to give/sell you a gun, your 2a rights were not violated.

……

Putting up a lost cat flyer, and having some random person yell at you for it is not exercising the “right to free speech” (for either party).

You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in speech/expression.

It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your speech/expression, you therefor have a right to speech/expression in all contexts. For example, if you want to go on a rant about your personal beliefs, the government unduly burdened you. However this will not stop the owner of the grocery store from calling the cops to have you trespassed for bothering all of the customers.

It says a lot about the site when I’m immediately prompted to “ASK A DOCTOR ONLINE”… Oh and they make it really easy for me to make a tweet sensationalized it too, like real journalists do!

This isn’t news, it’s fear mongering propaganda. There’s PLENTY of stuff to criticize china about. This is normal scientific/medical research.

why a weapon was loaded with live ammo

Why is there live ammo anywhere near set.

I honestly don’t know why

He did some skits on SNL as trump and trump got really butt-hurt about it.

Vasectomy like 10 years ago. Kids are expensive.

Portal64 required you to have access to one file from portal 1, portal_pak_000.vpk. It’s trivial to get that file. Either via google, or purchasing Portal, extracting the file, then getting a refund.

Revolution requires a continuously working copy of Portal 2.

It’s significantly easier for the general population to play Portal64 without giving money to Valve than Revolution.

The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. In addition, case law has associated intent with the existence of a State or organizational plan or policy, even if the definition of genocide in international law does not include that element.

Importantly, the victims of genocide are deliberately targeted - not randomly – because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention (which excludes political groups, for example). This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, and not its members as individuals. Genocide can also be committed against only a part of the group, as long as that part is identifiable (including within a geographically limited area) and “substantial.”

Colloquially, it’s genocide, but legally it does not appear to be. And that’s a problem if you’re trying to charge Israel with genocide in a court of law. Inevitably it’s going to be found to not be genocide and that’s one more thing Israel can point to. Crimes against humanity would probably been a better route.

It’s going to be hard, if not impossible to show in court that Israel, as a policy, is deliberately targeting Palestinians. Showing Isael’s actions is resulting in shit tons of civilian casualties seems pretty easy. Maybe there’s super secret documents that show it’s a deliberate act, but I highly doubt they’d be that dumb if genocide is their intention.
