Got about half way through this, yikes. I thought their pricing was already a bit steep per search, but considering the company decisions, it does not fill you with confidence.

Not a lawyer, but something makes me doubt all the courts around the world would hold to this.

What country are you in? You may be entitled to a refund/replacement since you have the receipts

Luckily/unluckily (because effort), in Australia, consumer guarantees on length of time you can get a refund are vague.

E.g. it doesn’t matter that a fridge’s manufacturer warranty is only 2 years, you expect that to last longer.

With effort, you could probably get a fridge fixed like 5 years after purchase with some badgering / threatening small claims.

Bricking your product would probably fall under that category.

This is wild speculation, not a lawyer.

I feel like all public servants (including cops) ought to have public liability insurance, where money would end up coming from in these situations, which then the employer (police department, other department) needs to pay, the employee is aware of, and is part of their renumeration (i.e. the more their premiums cost, the less they’re making), making idiots more of a financial liability to themselves.

Quite quickly you’re going to have people acting as responsibly as possible if you’re insurance premiums then go up when you act like a moron.

Obviously this would require protections so that people don’t end up being screwed over by insurance premiums, but still, this seems to be an issue in public service all over the world, no consequences because the tax payer just ends up footing the settlement, and the public servant goes on their merry way.

I don’t like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it’s SCIENCE.

Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.

Amen.

Pretty soon that devine right of kings and thing is going to look laughable by comparison.

Kings were nowhere near this rich, or powerful.

While I know that these days, bugs in code can cause real-world harm (personal info leaks, superannuation records lost, lol google), I find it humorous to think of the equivalent, even worse outcomes in my discipline (chemical/process engineering).

“Didn’t do any checks, fuck it, I know this calculation is fire 🔥”

Later: 🔥🔥💥

The number of people he’s said he hates or called names because they’ve either supported the Harris campaign, or spoken against his, seems to be quite a lot.

Baffles me that anyone could look on and think, “hmm yes, this guy seems socially intelligent”, is beyond me.

How long do patents last for anyway? Pokemon being caught in balls must be many, many decades old by this point.

They’ve started serving ads when you skip backwards. Drives me fucking nuts.

I was willing to use the mobile app with ads because the interface is slightly less buggy.

Ad blocking on mobile web it is for me now 👍

Yes, but also yes. Whole lot of “light trucks” on your roads with worse crash safety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo

The commenter doesn’t deserve the downvotes

This is what I was thinking (but the younger age is younger)

In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.

Oooooooooh, yes thank you. This will stop bothering me now 😌

Our of curiosity, and because I couldn’t immediately find anything. Is MoveOn actively trying to change the voting system itself?

Total side note because I could find anything on it. Why is it “Get Out The Vote” and not “Get Out To Vote”?

The popular one doesn’t seem to make grammatical sense, is this some older form of grammar hanging around in a popular slogan?

I don’t think any zoning laws anywhere in Australia would allow for this on public roads.

Happy to be corrected, but this shit takes it’s toll on everyone else’s wellbeing.

When I lived about 5 km from the city (Melbourne), I’d hear some arsehole (cars, as well as bikes) ripping it down the road at least every 20 minutes, all fucking day.

I do not give a shit what your hobbies are, but they had better not be giving me heart disease…

These fuckers deserve to have their bikes/cars confiscated for putting on illegal mods on the second offence. Not per vehicle, per fucking lifetime.

You get one chance, then you had better start keeping receipts so you never have an illegal mod ever again…

So, if you plan an arson as a protest, is that 8 years or 18 years?

Eating your offspring seems terribly energy inefficient
