  • Minnesota judge holds federal attorney in civil contempt, a first in Trump’s second term

    Jump

  • Why the attorney? It doesn't seem like they're in a place to make any changes or decisions regarding any court orders. Why not some form of management in the operation?

  • Les Wexner on Epstein: "He had done personal work for the Rothschild family in France..." His lawyer: "I will f*cking kiII you if you answer another question with more than 5 words."

    Jump

  • What's interesting here is that the attorney apparently hadn't given him that advice earlier.

    One of the earliest and easiest rules about being a lawyer in the US - tell your client to shut the fuck up. Police, press, Congress, it doesn't matter. They should shut the fuck up.

    He has a right to remain silent, and he should use it. Anything he says can be used against him, but nothing he says can really be used in his defense.

  • Ford Bounty Hunters: The Pursuit of Efficiency

    Jump

  • I appreciate the focus on efficiency, but I'm concerned that the increased complexity of each component may increase both the likelihood and difficulty (price) of any repairs. Still probably worth it, given the general low failure rate of EV components.

  • Gentoo Linux begins Codeberg migration to phase out GitHub repos

    Jump

  • Many, many years ago (20-ish?) I spent a full weekend trying to get Gentoo working on an even older PC. I wasn't completely new to Linux (having installed and used a bit of Mandrake and Fedora Core), but I was certainly no expert.

    I spent the entire weekend trying and failing to get a usable system, reinstalling numerous times with different options, installing countless packages, and following innumerable guides on troubleshooting. I never had a system even close to as usable as Fedora was out of the box.

    Still, I consider that weekend a complete success. I learned more about Linux in that one weekend than at any point since. Everything after that has been little tidbits needed for the task at hand, without much of the base foundational understanding. Failing with Gentoo taught me so much.

  • TIL that it is illegal in the US State of North Carolina for Bingo sessions to exceed 5 hours

    Jump

  • You're overlooking the word "exempt", which is critically important here. An earlier section defines an exempt organization

    [...]as a bona fide nonprofit charitable, civic, religious, fraternal, patriotic or veterans' organization or as a nonprofit volunteer fire department, or as a nonprofit volunteer rescue squad or a bona fide homeowners' or property owners' association[...]

    This restriction only applies to these organizations, and is likely intended to keep a casino (or similar) from pretending to be a charity.

  • TIL that it is illegal in the US State of North Carolina for Bingo sessions to exceed 5 hours

  • The larger section is labeled

    Article 37 - Lotteries, Gaming, Bingo and Raffles.

  • 🔥AI wrongly tells user a fire alarm is just a drill

    Jump

  • He's a guy with a show about stock/investing advice, widely reported as an expert in his field, with a less than 50% success rate.

    OP is literally, technically correct that doing the opposite is a better strategy than actually following his advice.

  • Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?

    Jump

  • Not OP, but I saw this at an old-school Fortune 500. To get Casual Fridays, you had to donate a certain amount to a specific charity (ours was a local food bank). It wasn't a lot, something like $25/quarter, but it was definitely an expense

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • A credit card the account is with visa, tho it may be managed by your bank thanks to partnerships and bank end integration. Depending on the circumstances you actually will be directed by your bank to contact visa or who ever directly or be forwarded by your bank.

    Do you have a source on this? Because it directly contradicts EVERYTHING I have ever experienced. Visa is a payment processor, but more as a middleman. I've even been redirected (through automated systems) back to my bank when making a purchase using a Visa card. Any disputes are handled by bank. You can't get a Visa card without going through a bank. My debit card has a MC logo and can be used as such, but it's also my ATM card.

    Your point about debit vs credit is valid, though possibly more convoluted than needed. On credit, it's someone else's money in limbo, until the bill is paid.

  • Facial recognition error: Customer misidentified by Sainsbury's

    Jump

  • Your math is off, by two decimal places.

  • Memory Express trying to claim a 2TB ssd is "$470 off"

    Jump

  • I Test Drove a Chinese EV. Now I Don’t Want to Buy American Cars Anymore.

    Jump

  • It matches what the Ford CEO said about the same (or at least very similar) car. Was that also Chinese propaganda?

  • Substack won't let me in without verifying age, and VPN doesn't work; any ideas?

    Jump

  • There are a number of indicators for where someone is from that might be visible to site operators, far beyond a simple IP address. You could try an incognito window (because cookies), as well as changing your region settings.

    Beyond that, try spinning up a VM (VMware has a free version, as do many others). Install a fresh OS on it, always pretending to be in whatever your destination country is. Install the (e.g) UK keyboard, select a UK timezone, etc. Install your VPN right away, before opening a browser.

  • Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots

    Jump

  • Let's keep this announcement in perspective. They're still making the Model Y and Model 3. The S and X, listed under "Other models", were less than 5% of deliveries in 2024. In 2025, it dropped to just 3.1%. No idea about profits or anything, just units sold

  • Stephen Colbert says the Late Show's series finale will air on May 21, the conclusion of a franchise that launched in 1993 with David Letterman

    Jump

  • His character (also named Stephen Colbert) was specifically and primarily based on Bill O'Reilly, who was not pretending. It's why Stephen often referred to Bill as "Papa Bear"

  • God smites 89 Bolsonaro supporters today

    Jump

  • Strictly from a physics/electrical standpoint, I'd like more information on how a single lightning strike can hit 89 people. Shouldn't it have followed the single fastest path to ground, and hit 1 person?

  • What if you printed all of Wikipedia?

    Jump

  • Why would you even do the calculations based on inkjet printers? Even at a simple glance, inkjet is the wrong solution. While they acknowledge at the end that laser would be the way, that was clearly an afterthought and not calculated into anything.

  • Minnesota State Legislature Special Election Results 2026

    Jump

  • I would say that Trump is one result of the media having been destroyed long ago

  • Number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads up 92% in a decade, data shows

    Jump

  • I'll accept 4WD as a requirement, but why does it need to be a large truck? Wouldn't an AWD car, like a Subaru or VW, work just as well?
