I heard quill18 make some off the hand comment about her passing and she hasn't uploaded anything in months so I think it's true but can't find anything confirming it, checked her twitter(silent), her youtube(silent), her twitch(silent)... But no direct message about her passing

True but even if you fish all day why do you go through so many hooks?

He may jump and join in with cards but... Does he ever win??

Yes I will judge you based on your answer

That could be worse...watching tv on the couch with your spouse, you both laugh at the joke suddenly the door opens and your partners head splatters everywhere. The man in a black suit says "sorry, the tompsons just had a baby"...

Partially you are right. My only disagreement is while most people don't read those documents, 1 lawyer who is bored and sees a pay day is all that's needed. Like someone has a law degree but can't find a practice to hire them so they go to a dealership, test drive a vehicle, sit down to sign paperwork, read everything and are like "hold up... Can you give me a copy of this?... Thanks, tell your boss to expect a letter from me."

It's like general computer security, you can block 500 bugs and security flaws but if 501st is discovered it's a really bad day.

Would be an interesting court case... If I'm not even shown or given a method to see a disclaimer, can it disclaim anything (is that even good English? You know what I mean but there must be a way to say it)?

Part of me says no. The company should make safe devices, a lamp is certified by ul and a car us way more dangerous.

Part of me say yes. People are really stupid sometimes. Companies shouldn't need to design everything with bubble wrap and people need to know not to slam their head into a coffee mug.

The sad part is this will/has gone to court and the first case will determine the future. Like someone is like "Nissan video recorded me buying lunch at McDonald's and saw my pin code" court says there was no damage since you can change your pin and no record of fraudulent charges. From then on there is legal precedent they can take your pin code. Year 2056, you see a Ford employee emptied your bank account by buying door dash, court states "Sorry, 30 years ago these other people said someone seeing your bank account data with your car camera is fine, just deal with your empty bank account."

For first situation, fuck people who beat their partners. This wasn't a "I was drunk and slapped them" situation which is also horrible and should never be done... She had i think a broken arm, 3 broken ribs, nose broken, and life long issues with her hip after that. This was a serious assault. I don't technically know if "Tony" was part of a "family" but this was ny/NJ in late 80s early 90s and he was a older Italian man who wore suits but I never saw go to work and I was simply told to show him respect and don't ask too many questions (I was a child, maybe 7 or 8 when this occurred).

For second situation, if someone has money and power to have a shipping container full of "drugs" yeah... They have money and power to disappear a person.

I mean this is horrible treatment of him and obvious racism but I don't think we can fault fifa for removing him for this. Like let's say you are an expert in brain surgery and there is a conference on brain surgery in France. You plan to go and give a talk. You get to the airport and for any reason you are told you are not allowed to enter France. Your employer is notified. What should they do? Obvious answer to me try to ask nicely to please let you into France, if still denied assign a Co worker of you to give the talk in your place.

What else could fifa do? "well this guy isn't able to referee so guess lets cancel the world cup" or maybe "technically he's not allowed in the country but let's sneak him in by putting him in a suit case and walking very confidently. Then we'll put him on international TV showing him in the country" or "let's hire a private militia and try to force the government to accept him".

Obviously he should be allowed to referee and yes it obvious racism by the government(if there was a real reason they would of said that) and fifa is a corrupt evil company but... Isn't this the only logical choice for fifa??

The part that irritates me is the act like they can't refund anything after "the store confirmed the order". One time I meant to check the price of a liquor bottle, dropped phone, between trying to prevent it falling and picking it up I touched the purchase button. The store "confirmed the order" within 30 seconds. Since the store confirmed the order and started "preparing the order" I could cancel it but couldn't get a refund. The issue? It was 11:15pm. Legally liquor stores can't sell packaged liquor after 9pm here. Either a. The store didn't confirm anything and have be not started preparing anything b. The store is openly defying multiple laws. The c. The you are full of shit. Plus what's "preparing" a bottle of liquor? Why can't you send a notification of "put it back on shelf" and be done? Fine yeah my mistake of accidentally pressing button, maybe a 10% "restocking fee" still bullshit but acceptable. Not being able to cancel order at all though???

If it's not clear, the store was closed but order was defaulted to be delivered at 11am the next day as that was next available legal delivery time.

One of the coolest examples I saw a few years ago was for an automated optical inspection. You would take a picture and identify all the critical features and then manually check like 50 parts, varied between good and bad and marking why the bad ones were bad. Afterwards just throw a part under the camera and it could accurately tell good from bad with about 99% accuracy(biased towards false failures). Granted it was about 35k just for the camera and software but still really impressive.

It could locate the part and rotate the image with no fixturing and each inspection was between 10-90 milliseconds depending on what features were being inspected.
