For those who didn't read: Val himself had already signed up for this movie and it apparently meant a lot to him to star in it. The producers contacted his family to discuss the matter, and they consented to the idea.

Germany and Japan were fascist states that went on the offensive, and both were forced into total capitulation followed by extensive programmes to uproot the fascist elements from their societies, paired with programmes to help rebuild.

Syria was primarily fighting a civil war against a dictator, not against the US and Israel.

In this case, Iran was attacked and its spiritual leader was assassinated. And as much as we dislike that guy, many Iranians did like him. Iran was then heavily bombed, including what appear to be civilian targets. There are no clear signs of widespread civil unrest that could topple the regime entirely yet.

I don't see this ending well anytime soon.

Personally I've had my phone rooted for years and only twice encountered an app that really wouldn't work anymore.

They do that as well. The social media post will contain a brief synopsis and will link to a government website for more information.

Not really a Dixie Chicks case, as that was mostly a sort of cancelling by the public at large.

This cartoonist quit over a cartoon in which she depicted rich people and corporations (like Mickey Mouse aka Disney) offering money and worship to a Trump statue. It was shut down, likely by directions the WaPo got from Bezos, same reason he killed the Harris endorsement and started meeting Trump.

In other words, the government didn't shut it down. Fear for a Trump-led government did. Which honestly I'm not sure is better or even worse. Trump doesn't have to censor shit, the corporate-owned "free" press will apparently self-censor to avoid his wrath in the first place.

Can someone explain what the point of limiting yourself to just using 60% of the batteries capacity is, if all you seem to be getting out of it is it staying above 80-90% after several years? Which is far more than you were using anyway?

I have my current Oneplus for well over 3,5 years now, and I never bothered with the battery capacity. I always plug it into the fast charger that came with it overnight.

Battery capacity really is still completely fine. I don't run out during the day and if it does get close (if I'm very heavily using it) I plug it in for 10 minutes and get like half a charge. Which all seems like less effort than I would have to do to keep the battery within 20-80%?

If the battery does end up failing I can just have it replaced, doesn't really cost that much either. But so far it seems the built-in battery protections work just fine.

Bit meh tbh. A lot of progression is dependent on whether or not you can upgrade your tools, and that's heavily RNG. We've had plenty of games where we just could not roll the ores to upgrade our tools.

What? I'm categorically against the death penalty. I don't think it's controversial to think Roof is a bastard for what he did.

The SC could just make a bullshit ruling that this only applies fo4 being elected president, rather than becoming president through succession.

You're missing the part where Apple initially wanted to partner with Masimo and when they refused, decided to poach several employees from Masimo to develop the competing product.

Masimo seems to have a legitimate case here, and Apple is definitely in the wrong, as they knowingly attempted to copy Masimo's product. The late publication of the patents could be due to literally anything, but it doesn't seem to be done willfully to 'trap' Apple into this lawsuit. Because of that, I'd argue that this is a bit of a fault in the broken patent system, but that Masimo is not deliberately patent trolling here.

"Nazi Winnie the Pooh banned in Russia"

Yes, seems that they're taking it very seriously and not just calling shit they don't like "Nazi". Considering this is the country that cheers on the Wagner-group, a neonazi extremist mercenary group led by open fascists and literally named after Hitler's favourite composer (as stated by Wagner's founder), I'm sure that they're taking the fight against Nazism very seriously and won't ever abuse it for propaganda reasons.
