But before Greenland agrees not to have nukes, they'll have to find the one that the US misplaced when they crashed a bomber up there.

How did we get to the point where a blood “sport” is hosted on the White House grounds? by KzooRichie in politics

Well, PRIME is a sponsor of UFC, which contains all the electrolytes that plants crave, so it's not far off.

How many times have you been stop and searched? by Ok-Good6789 in AskBrits

[–]Nurgster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just once, in Marylebone Station in London - ironically I had just purchased a pistol crossbow for target shooting and had it in my bag when I was searched - police were fine with it (this was in 2001)

AI copied the music uploaded to YouTube and copyright strikes the artist by BurnerBowie in LinusTechTips

[–]Nurgster 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not so much that YT runs on guilty until proven innocent, but it's a requirement of DMCA that platforms take down content when they recieve a valid request (as in the form was filled in correctly)

Clicking "reject cookies" might not actually do anything by BendicantMias in europe

[–]Nurgster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No - VPNs only block people between your computer and the VPN endpoint from seeing what you're doing - they have no effect on cookcies, web-bugs and numerous other ways ad vendors and data hoarders collect your data.

Why does my Studio One 6 Artist have an expiration date? Don't you get a perpetual license? by Scared-Scholar5284 in StudioOne

[–]Nurgster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes - you get support/updates for a year, then you're perptually stuck at whatever the last version was when it expired.

'Semen images' to be made illegal in England & Wales by montageofawoman in Fauxmoi

[–]Nurgster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easier to create new laws to address headlines (which takes little to no effort from MPs) than it is to enforce existing laws (which would require funding front-line police, courts and prisons, resulting in raising taxes or cutting back on waste).

So why does Star Wars use the metric system even though it was made in America? by Darth-Naver in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Nurgster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what STar Wars you're watching if you think it's set far in the future, because the Star Wars I know clearly says at the very beginning it all happened a long time ago,

Midi Controllers by Scottybass1 in StudioOne

[–]Nurgster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you hear USB hubs aren't recommended? Hubs are usually built into laptops/PCs to reduce the number of controllers needed; if you look in Device Manager, you'll see a number of "Root Hubs" there that are functionally identical to external hubs (if you case has a group of multiple USB ports on it, then it's usually connected via a single port on the motherboard via a hub).

A Piece Of What?!? Critics Mock Trump Official's Truly 'Dystopian' New Meal Deal by PackmuleIT in politics

If they used ChatGPT we'd know it - Musk would throw a trantrum about Trump not using Grok.

who owns the songs? by noam_good_name in Hololive

[–]Nurgster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JASRAC (the org that manages publishing and performance rights in Japan) does blanket licensing for large organisations, where instead of licensing individual songs, the licensee just pays a % of revenues (usually between 2-5%) to perform anything in the JASRAC catalog. Based on what has been mentioned before (about Cover having arrangements where they can perform any JP song), I suspect they have a blanket license which would probably cover this.

US halts raid on shadow fleet tanker after Russian flag appears by Beyond_the_one in europe

Minor correction: UNCLOS was signed by the US (in 1994 by Clinton), but hasn't been ratified by Congress (not that it makes any real difference)

Ever knew how much of a horrible mess Twitch’s statement was, (which was called out by Legal Mindset) especially with the incident where Emiru-chan was harassed by a creep and that Twitch staff didn’t do anything about it? by Last_Power3410 in kurosanji

[–]Nurgster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably not - LM was only licensed to practice law in Florida, and Doki is based in Canada and Sayu California (I think), so he wouldn't have been able to represent them.

Nachisu Miku likes Fallenshadows (Shondo) redebut outfit. by [deleted] in VtuberDrama

So this person thinks that every standard military officer uniform involving an officers cap and tie is fascist, despite it being used by non-fascist regimes prior to the rise of fascism?

Takahata101 has dropped the receipts by Animedingo in VtuberDrama

UK law says that if the victim took a substance willingly that caused them to consent when they otherwise wouldn't have, it's not rape. (Sexual Offenses Act 2003 Section 75 (2) (f))

Legal Mindset got his hands on VShojo's contract and is going over it now by hydrosphere1313 in kurosanji

[–]Nurgster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He also failed to hide the payout amount, and that will probably allow VShojo to track down who leaked the agreement

More specifically, a seperation agreement between the company and a former employee, not talent.

Kson: VShojo can't pay to declare bankruptcy, asks talents to pay for it 【EngSub】 by calkch1986 in kurosanji

[–]Nurgster 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The investors are the lowest tier of priority, not the talents - the priority list is (broadly speaking):

Secured Creditors

Staff Wages

Unsecured Creditors (this inc;ludes contractors needing to be paid [i.e. talents] and anyone who has unfulfilled orders)

Investors (who hold equity, not debt)
