It’s insane the yo-yo scam is still legal. I hope the customer keeps the name after the lawsuit fucks up these predators.

Very unfortunate that they no longer have the grant. Guess they’ll have to take the money out of the repaving budget or raise gasoline taxes.

Tamura, who played high school football in California nearly two decades ago but never in the NFL, had a history of mental illness, police said. A three-page note found in his wallet suggested he had a grievance against the NFL over a claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

I really enjoy (American) football, but the brain damage from the way its played is an existential threat to the game. I’ve heard from a lot of parents that they would never let their children play it.

Speaking as a layman, in a casual sense:

A criminal summons is basically the quick version of arresting someone & releasing them. You are formally charged with a crime, and have to appear in court to defend yourself. (https://www.jettonmeredithlaw.com/blog/2018/august/what-are-criminal-summons-and-private-warrants-/)

A ticket is a tort offense, in the context of a ticket, it is the government saying you have done something wrong (And they may punish you by fine, or some other civil sentence), but it doesn’t rise of the level of a misdemeanor. (https://legaldictionary.net/tort-law/)

TL;DR: The government is saying that the cyclists are committing a much greater offense than car drivers.

It serves as a threat against workers rights, since “your job can be done by AI” - even though it fails every time it’s tried.

“40-year-old immunocompromised man with sudden vision loss” Yikes, I hope they were able to help him out.

“Not adopting this proposal is in no way an endorsement of the ADL’s full body of work. We are calling on the ADL to support the free speech and association rights of all students and educators,” said Becky Pringle, NEA President. “We strongly condemn abhorrent and unacceptable attacks on our members who dedicate their lives to helping their students thrive. Our commitment to freedom of speech fully extends to freedom of protest and dissent whether in the public square or on college campuses.”

Doesn’t sound like you actually strongly condemn these attacks, Becky.

Am I understanding correctly that the most expensive “premium plus” plan still has advertisements?

(LLM-based) AI is slow to spread because the reality of what it can and cannot do is apparent. Anyone that wants to can use it for free & observe the results for themselves.

When you’re trying to make your ticket/arrest quota, a guaranteed metric is hard to resist

The Dinah Project is composed of legal and feminist experts determined that the world will never forget the heinous sexual violence and gender atrocities perpetrated on October 7th, 2023, and the ongoing abuse of the hostages.

So it was literally created for this exact purpose, and has no established credibility.

I have been using Everydollar for a few years, without paying for the bank integration and other stuff. It’s from Dave Ramsey

The good:

Free if you don’t want bank integration/automatic data pulling

Relatively simple interface

Website based

The Bad:

Assumes a zero-based budget

Tries to force an app if using a mobile device

Sinking funds are implemented in an odd way

Many crimes have “Strict Liability” where criminal intent is not necessary for one to be guilty.

You’ve seen scooter riders kill people? That’s crazy, you should share the news articles about that.

I wonder who might benefit from attempting to steer people away from e-bikes and towards hydrogen, instead of technology that already works and might decrease car usage.

In the report, the company also said AI could have a “net positive potential” on climate, because it hoped the emissions reductions enabled by AI applications would be greater than the emissions generated by the AI itself, including its energy consumption from datacentres.

Everyone knows this a line of bullshit that is never going to play out. Even if AI worked like they claimed, and it indisputably does not, it would not lead to energy efficiencies that overcame the massive waste that LLM based AI is to begin with.

Honestly, it’s for the best. Don’t think for a second that Texas wouldn’t take weapons from those with “Trump derangement syndrome”

I have never heard of someone committing suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head. That is suspicious as fuck.

It is very telling that the big donors would rather try to split the democrat vote than rally behind a popular candidate.

IMO, Dems have to allow the new generations to finally have their say and invite fresh ideas, or fatally break the party.

If they keep letting the money work against their voters, they’re choosing the latter.

When I see all lanes of traffic have brake lights on simultaneously, I get on the brake right away - but that’s much easier to see when you’re doing hindsight on the internet.

Glad nobody got hurt, thanks for uploading!
