Last I looked he was in financial ruin which is why he had to sell the gun on ebay. He filed multiple failed lawsuits that were dismissed. His wife divorced him. Accused of intellectual property theft.

He does seem to have an “uncanny” ability to avoid criminal liability though.

Just because you opted in, doesn’t make their statement untrue.

The simplicity of use in the walled garden, caters to people who aren’t techy. It’s a huge reason for their success.

But just like “nontechy” people like my husband can use an android, “techy” people can opt into a system that caters to the opposite.

My husband had a nasty cold and the self scan he was using we later found out should have had an out of order sign on it. After missing the fact that it wasn’t dinging for every item because he couldn’t hear well, they pulled him and had him arrested. His total was off by $100 and he should’ve realized it, admittedly, but he just wanted to get home. We were able to get them to drop the charges because the self check out was malfunctioning but he’s still banned from Walmart.

I’m in Oregon. Straight down the i-5 from Portland, which is where I understand it to have started

I can say that all 4 of my dogs caught it.

They’re still alive, but my 13 year old has not and probably won’t return to full function. He’s got some pretty significant scarring on his lungs. We are in one of the affected states, and they caught it from the neighbors’ dogs who brought it home from the groomers.

It’s definitely in my area.

If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.

That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.

But many actually don’t do it which is why they don’t use the USDA certified

Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not “usda certified organic”

Most

Jokes are funny

No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.

What is more likely “nope wecan’t make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we’re gonna wait another 6 to begin development”

Or

“This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors”

They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn’t keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.

Edit: Oh God it’s you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.

It’s literally the title of the post my dude.

That was said in response to the context of Danny Masterson being sentenced to jail for rape.

It is relevant, and you are choosing to die on the hill of pedantry on a point no one but you is actually asserting. You choose to take a figure of speech, that was a juxtaposition of the title of the article and apply an absolute. It doesn’t read that easy to anyone who isn’t making a choice to omit the context.

The juxtaposition of “anyone he wants without raping them” against “sentenced to 30 years for rape” has a pretty clear contextual implication that you intentionally ignored.

Wasn’t he in Belarus recently, threatening to take a large contingent of the Wagner group to “sightsee” in Poland?

This is such a bad take.

You’re not the arbitor of news. Being able to discredit her is important to a lot of people who have lost friends and family to get quackery.

To some of us, any argument you can use to bring those you love, people who are once upon a time intelligent, rational creatures, back into reality is important.

Her being disgraced may give her another 15 seconds of happiness, but it’s another point of argument. It won’t be a winning point for everyone, but it can be a tipping point for some.

You much think it’s bad journalism, but you’re not the arbiter for everyone. So, since you like to put your head on the sand and be ignorant about the people who spread dangerous medical misinformation, the kind that lead to mobs in Spain trying to pull down cellular towers, scroll past and keep doing that while the rest of us talk about seagulls

She did world wide tours peddling her 5g magnetic crap. She’s literally the source of that rumor and it is world wide.

Is she as notorious as Wakefield? No, but he’s got 10 years on her in the bullshit arena.

Is it the most notable world event at the moment? Also no, but she is a global figure.

I disagree, Sheri Tenpenny has been among the most damaging voices in the antivax arena since it began. This is a relevant as Andrew Wakefield losing his license. Her claims are used worldwide by the anti Vax, covid denying nut jobs.

Just because it happened in Ohio doesn’t mean it is limited to Ohio.

Oh the horror, bad American for wanting to support a developer as they launch a new product that is built on the premise of one they used and loved for years.

Instead of supporting a Dev who’s proved themselves, we should harbor deep skepticism and try to skate by on a free product for as long as possible because that $5 is really, really, super, duper gonna break the bank if the app isn’t absolutely everything I want it to be.
