I meant that he built the business out of attaching sandy hook parents and similar actions. I think that's the obvious reading for anyone who knows anything about Jones. I sure could have been clearer. But what exactly are you saying?

The poster suggested that Jones actions on Sandy Hook were an outlier. One 'bad' action. They were not. He built his business on Sandy Hook and similar actions, and that's clearly what my original post intended and I stand by

That is exactly what he built his business on - attacking people with bald face lies and using the generated outrage to sell snake oil.

My parents transferred an old car to my older brother and insured me and him on it and signed something saying we were not permitted to drive the other cars. Not sure if that is permitted/possible everywhere, but the problem is if the

You can desire the police cooperate with the hostage takers, without taking the side of the hostage takers. The proof is in the pudding - the police ended the hostage taking with no lives lost. To after the fact continue to take the side of

But the hostage takers are the ones who created the hostage situation, not the police. They are the ones that caused the risk to the lives of the hostages - in fact that it the whole purpose of hostage taking, to use human lives as bargaini

I don't feel the need to pay a commission for a digital storefront. I know a lot of folks find value in app store/steam etc... but I find almost no value. At the same price, I would rather the money go to the seller of the product

I am a fan of fidelity. They have a cash management account with checking features. You can choose between a bank sweep at ~2.5% or a money market at almost 5%. Edit: There are always non-checking accounts that do better than the above, but

Why do we have interoperable email but not interoperable text? Actually we do now, thanks to regulatory action forcing Apple.

There is a rather large difference to having plans and dealing with an actual incident. Not to bicker, but a dedicated command room sounds like a fun plan but the opposite of what was needed in the incident described in this story.

Camera's don't have to be hidden to prevent guests. It is allowed and becoming very common to have cameras at entrances and becoming common to restrict guests during the day as well as overnight.

It's just basic urban planning and zoning. You can't run a factory in your apartment and you can't run a hotel. Plenty of cities restrict where hotels can operate. This is nothing special and certainly not authoritarian. Thes

Taylor Swift doesn't care that "it’s just way too easy for random people on the internet to monitor how much fuel exhaust they waste" She wants privacy, as is amply demonstrated by her actions on this topic. There is zero evi

The fraudsters are American so the US Government certainly has jurisdiction over their actions. Blockchain doesn't really matter to that.

I'm surprised the article makes no mention of lead. >> Aged vinegars, favored by gourmets and sometimes costing $100 a bottle, contain more lead than the quicker brewed, less expensive kinds. For three imported varieties tested i

The calculation is wrong. With daily revenue of $520.4mm, it takes less than half a day to generate revenue of $196mm. It's also a less interesting approach than it would be by looking at profit, which is closer to the real impact.

Another comment suggests the free version simply doesn't accept 10 bit input files. I use kdenlive for my limited editing and was thinking to try Davinci but that seems like a deal breaker as 10-bit is coming fast to consumer, prosumer

I don't think your experience is common, at least not post COVID. Just this year, flying direct to Hawaii, checked a bag because of baby gear. United cancelled the flight and due to staffing, would not/could not return checked bag

T-mobile has free low speed data, reasonable calling/text rates and a $35 10-day 5GB pass and $50 30-day 15 GB passes. Works for me to avoid the hassle of local sims.

No international roaming (or crazy prices) is one of the big downsides of MVNOs. And no, I'm not interested in buying a local sim card. Roaming is quite affordable these days with the big three and the hassle is not worth it for me. If

There is a significant difference between "stealing" artistic ideas, and impersonating individual humans. How folks can think it's reasonable to impersonate Morgan Freeman and use his voice to sell, for example, crypto crap.

No, the minisforum will be much more powerful. I think that CPU will be roughly twice as powerful and the GPU included (6600M) similarly roughly twice as powerful. As the other commenter said, there are other handhelds, some getting better

The asset is the positive operating properties/leases. The idea from WeWork management would be to shed the bad properties and keep the good ones and operate them as post-BK WeWork. Creditors could say, great idea, but we want to sell
