Nothing of the sort was ruled. There hasn’t been any substantial proceedings at all. The only thing that has been decided is that there is enough of a plausible claim to proceed with a case.
Perhaps there is nothing there but an ER-based medical drama featuring a common actor and some common show runners and staff. Perhaps discovery will uncover some damning evidence of (surprise) TV evecs being shitty people and trying to screw over creators of an IP.
Time will tell
Kinda…. Different areas are probably different, and no part of this should be construed as defending the insanity around AI, but in my area, data centers are typically part of load-shedding agreements with the local power utility, and they’re likely to simply switch to backup generators to help mitigate demand peaks. In some cases they may back-feed their excess generator power to the grid on a short term basis. Typically speaking there are financial incentives, fees, or offsets that they receive as compensation.
So yes, they’re probably on at full blast, but they’re probably powering it themselves so it’s not a direct impact on grid health.
Hell, Apple themselves usually sell Apple products at the student price to non-students, as long as you nod and wink when you click the Checkout button.
Hi, poll worker here and this is absolutely accurate. If you stand in or near our polling place we will absolutely have you removed.
However… observing polls is a core part of a functional democracy and I strongly encourage you to do so. Each county is a bit different, but essentially every single one of them have some sort of process that you can register as an observer and you’ll be legally protected while observing and documenting what you see. If you’re affiliated with a political party, contact your local officials and they can help facilitate, as most observers are party affiliated.
Nomenclature of upper middle class aside, the wild thing here is that $40m means she’s closer to being homeless than she is to the billionaire wealthy.
She’s clearly wealthy compared to the average, but her financial concerns actually vaguely resemble that of normal people. She may not care about how much dinner costs, but she is probably acutely aware of her major expenses like housing and medical. $40m is not even close to “fuck you money”.
No idea what they’re trying to claim. I can’t see any dimension in which this was “larger” than the typical WWII era firebombing. There were more planes, more bombs by weight, more casualties, more of everything.
I very much like the sentiment, but I’d mostly advocate for a data backup that doesn’t require any particular effort or memory to preserve in an emergency.
Obviously everyone’s personal situation varies, but as a simple default I usually recommend that friends and family simply use whichever cloud drive service is available from the device manufacturer that stores their photos (ie, google Drive, Microsoft one drive, or Apple iCloud). Photos are almost always the most irreplaceable digital asset, storage is typically just a few bucks a month, and using the “default” provider usually requires zero skill, effort, or recurring action. Other than making sure you can afford the auto-debit each month, your backs are mostly foolproof.
Cons include a dependency on a cloud service, which has a recurring charge and a privacy impact. The charge is typically minor vs the cost of a NAS or similar, and most services have some privacy assurances that may be enough to ease your concern. Nobody will ever care as much about your backups as you, but in aggregate a team of skilled full time FAANG engineers is often a more robust administrator than a solo customer.
If you have the desire and resources, you could and should do both backups, or as many as you reasonably can manage in as many places as possible.
Obviously this entire situation is insane from many perspectives, but strictly speaking, it’d be 30% added to the cost of acquiring merchandise, rather than the overall margin. The price of goods is a small fraction of Walmart’s overall expenses, compared to logistics and freight, labor, real estate, shrink and such. The actual impact to margins is probably more like 10% or so. Which is simultaneously both something Walmart could probably eat, and more than the Walton family is willing to swallow.
Just tell her to try and hold things in until tomorrow, that should help.
Congrats!
Well, very technically, theres no such thing as (formal) executions for non-capital crimes. If there were, they’d be called capital crimes.
Charles Grassley is slimy, but is also currently 91. He will be 95 is 2028, and is rapidly hitting “Diane Feinstein” levels of politics. He’s not particularly afraid of his constituents, but he’s a reliable tool for the modern GOP and can be counted on to only act concerned but vote the line.
If musk owes the bank a million dollars, musk has a problem. If musk owes the bank billions of dollars, it’s the banks problem.
In other words, the banks will bend over backwards to support him, his businesses, and his loans, whatever gives them the best chance of collecting.
Every consumer stock ticker I’ve seen already factors those splits into the pricing scheme
Garcia was later treated at the renowned Grossman Burn Center, where he received not one but two skin grafts on his penis. Garcia’s attorney, Trial Lawyers for Justice co-founder Nick Rowley, said Garcia’s penis was permanently discolored and disfigured, with less length and less girth.
Rowley said the key evidence during the trial was the surveillance footage of the incident taken from inside the coffee shop. Rowley said the footage clearly showed the barista secure two of the cups in the caddie but not the third, causing it to spill less than two seconds after Garcia took it into the car.
He didn’t hold 3 drinks, he was handed a drink carrier and one of the drinks was negligently secured. The jury took 40 minutes to determine that Starbucks was at fault, and Starbucks themselves offered $3m and $30m settlements at different points. How much do you think two skin grafts to your genitalia are worth?
Counterpoint, I quite like this. I’m terrible at keeping payment details up to date, and I’ve got long renewal periods on my domains. The early renewal attempt allows me to get an email that my payment is expired or revoked (due to a stolen card number or something) and I have a month to go correct it.
Actually, Hampton Dellinger himself was already fired earlier in the purge, but was temporarily reinstateted by a lower court and that was upheld by the Supreme Court (so far). It’s been one of the first cases to land on their desk, and is worth watching closely.
More or less everywhere, really.
Here’s more
What devices does Apple sell elsewhere with lightning? The only remaining lightning device I can find is the iPhone SE, the lower cost variant that has a legacy form factor including lighting and Touch ID. It’s is rumored to be seeing an update in the next few months.
Apple has spent half a decade implementing USB-C across its lineup, and was one of the earliest adopters of USB-C (to much criticism) back in the 2016 MacBook.
They do, often at elevated rates. A simple visit and x-ray, perhaps to check on an ankle after a serious mis-step, can easily hit several thousand dollars in charges beyond any transport costs.
Is Grey’s based in an emergency room setting? Does it share key actors and staff? What about Scrubs? House?
Is it pure coincidence that a bunch of ER alumni happen to create a completely unrelated show that happens to feature the comings and goinga of doctors in an emergency room?
