The irony being that Trump’s base is far less likely to own a passport than his opponents.

The weasel words in that quote, especially in paragraph 2, are blinding. He’s definitely the kind of person that complains about people attacking his “free speech”.

What does “a clear connection” even mean? Are they suggesting that he purchased “services” from Epstein? Supplied victims? Arranged clients?

I’ve not seen any accusations against him, and I’d really like more information.

Alcohol of any kind is a carb, a fairly simple one at that.

Do you have a source to support that statement? Everything I can find, including the American Diabetes Association and Teladoc, says otherwise.

I get that your body processes alcohol similar to fructose, but that doesn’t make it a carb.

Thinking outside the box, you might be having a carb crash. Beer is carb-heavy, while whiskey is carb-free.

It’s an interesting sidenote that Amazon is currently deploying heavily customized Rivians for (some) new delivery vans.

It says 50,000 cans. How much more freedom can you get than cans of cheap, shitty American beer?

The detail about hash values is really important. The FBI maintains a database of known CSAM. Presumably, hers is in that database, hence the hash values. While not everyone has access to that DB, Xitter/etc does. There is no ambiguity of anything on that list; there’s also no need for any human to review. It’s already been confirmed.

While I’m not sure there’s any case law about it, I would be amazed if using that to train generative AI (except POSSIBLY as content to block) was treated as anything other than possession, distribution, and maybe even production of CSAM.

Proving it might be difficult without full discovery, and AI is infamous for the massive corpus of training data. However, AI doesn’t always generate truly unique works. Go to any image generator and prompt for a video game plumber, and you’ll see an unmistakable image of Mario. It’s possible that they can find a prompt that generates results close enough to her images.

The best time to leave Allstate was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

Also applies to most insurance companies, particularly the ones that do a lot of advertising.

There’s already precedent that you cannot be forced to give up your passwords. It’s a 5th amendment violation. But I’m not sure if it applies to this case or not.

Workplaces got rid of CRTs many years ago. The power savings alone made it worthwhile, as did the desk space, larger screens, and modern ports. You haven’t even been able to buy them for a long time.

Even if we assume he got it free from work, that’s still probably 20 years of storing it.

The Beloit/Mindset list that comes out every year. It takes the form of “This year’s college freshman have always/never ______”. For instance, they’ve always had GPS in their pocket. They’ve never used a desktop computer. $Celebrity has always been dead. It’s always been a post-9/11 world.

Each year, that list always makes me feel old.

Your point is valid, but the math is oversimplified. Due to inflation, $1m in 1946 (80 years ago) is worth about $18m today.

Still, $1b is way more than enough to live an entire life of luxury, without ever needing to worry (in any serious way) about money.

There are a few states that have similar terms. I suppose the idea is that if the victim hasn’t reached puberty, it’s more devastating?

There’s a pretty famous list that would get republished every time one of these stories hit the news. IIRC, it was Republican politicians convicted of child abuse crimes. But I can’t seem to find it anywhere right now.

There’s a similar list of Democrats. It’s about half the size of the other one.

Cars in the US have to follow EPA testing methods, and those are the only numbers a seller is allowed to use.

The standard has changed several times over the years, most notably in 2008. Prior to this, the tests were “best case”, and were almost impossible to get in the real world. Since then, the tests have become much more “typical use”, including factors like air conditioning, high speed (80mph) driving, cold engine, and cold weather. These significantly reduced the published numbers vs previous years.

I could easily see a car rated for 27mpg in the 2008 test also getting 41mpg+ in the 2007 test.

Since you described it as stunt driving, Rockefeller Skank by Fatboy Slim.

And yes, mostly because of an ad 25 years ago.

That’s not exactly true.

Yes, most of it is manufactured by a co-packer. And these co-packers also make similar products for other brands. But each one (usually) has their own recipe. Sometimes the differences are very minor, others can be drastic. Sometimes they have specialty ingredients (e.g. Himalayan sea salt instead of regular salt, or a partner brand). Sometimes the co-packer offers a standard recipe as a starter for the smaller brands.

Historically, the brand-name used a higher-quality recipe, worthy of the higher sale price. Generics would use something cheaper, comfortably taking the lower end of the market. Costco’s Kirkland brand is famous for going a step higher than the major brand, which is very unusual for a house brand.

Wouldn’t you need to specify their actual need, rather than the broad term?

I feel like the devil would be soaked in perfumes. How else would he keep from smelling like an abattoir or a BBQ pit?
