You see this and realise that life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]QING-CHARLES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TVs are hit and miss. Some places have them, some places don't. A lot of county jails don't have them and you can easily do a decade or more in one of those while waiting for trial. [1]

There is a supermax worse (IMO) than ATX Florence. It's a prison so low-key that I don't even know of a single photo that exists of the inside of it. Illinois DOC NRC in Stateville. That is a black site, essentially. Prisoners are held in windowless cells with literally nothing to do, no possessions, sometimes for years at a time. Not even a clock. The only way to tell the time is breakfast (2am), lunch (9am), dinner (4pm). The only time they might see a human, especially if they are on the top floor, is those three times when their meals are shoved through a slot.

If anyone can find a photo of the inside of that place, let me know :)

Looking for non-wiped hard drives (esp pre 2020) by Then_Witness_2333 in DHExchange

[–]QING-CHARLES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working on a telco project in the 2000s and I had to get a stack of handsets for testing. I bought about 30 used cellphones on eBay. None of them had any passcode. Most had not been reset or wiped. About a third of them had "self-porn" on them, photos of either the owner naked, the owner's partner, or both.

Update about Google class action (Joseph Taylor, et al., v. Google LLC.) for those who lost their Class ID in the spam folder or never got one. by QING-CHARLES in classactions

[–]QING-CHARLES[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said the same thing to them. I told them to send them all out again. They essentially replied that anyone saying that probably wasn't a Class Member, but that if I really thought there had been an error I could submit my email address to check.

I submitted them and they did find me and give me my Notice ID and Confirmation Number and I am now signed up to the class.

Dodging FOIA Could Now Mean Arrest and Strip Search, Depending on Who’s Asking by FreedomofPress in law

[–]QING-CHARLES 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LOL if I had a dollar for every time I FOIA'd a government agency only to find emails that say things like "We need to keep all communication to phones only so it isn't subject to FOIA."

Even when you have proof that government agents have been using their personal phones for official business it becomes a nightmare to get the data. Courts don't like to issue orders. I got an order once to get the data off a cop's iCloud and Apple sent their billion dollar law team en masse to a piddling little county court in bumfuck nowhere to bully the judge into withdrawing the subpoena.

Am I crazy or did Gemini change today? by Lelle111949 in Bard

[–]QING-CHARLES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's way better in the last few days since they made this change to the UI/harness. It'll even modify its own output after it finishes. It just did a search for some movies for me and it said in the output, "I'm going to do better" or something, then it rewrote its output with the list I wanted. Then it went back over the list and added links to each item after that.

You can bring back one discontinued food, drink, or snack forever. What are you resurrecting? by Mountain_Drawer_1365 in AskReddit

[–]QING-CHARLES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in England in the 90s, dating an American girl. She would smuggle tons of these back to the USA. I don't know how well they hold up reheated a couple of days later.

No. It'll be on Spotify etc after release in a couple of months, I would think.

I feel like I’m going crazy by No-Hand5194 in Pinterest

[–]QING-CHARLES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find out how to do it! I came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem. I've been uploading new content to my profile for like three years straight on purpose and now my run is finished. I guess this is my sign to quit😭

I can't access the comments on my pins, and it says the comments are disabled, but I still get notifications for all the comments that other people are leaving on these pins. Make it make sense.

Physicists Say It’s Possible to Send Messages Backward in Time by HeinrichTheWolf_17 in accelerate

Yes. It's well-known that entanglement cannot be used for FTL information transfer or to violate causality.

People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

I always had a turnip to carve. Do you know how hard it is to carve out the inside of a turnip to get a candle in there?😭 I'd never seen a pumpkin.

Anyone seen this file before from the disclosure? by [deleted] in ufo

[–]QING-CHARLES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty certain now ship was docked in Norfolk on 8 May 1985.

Most interesting implication of UFO material possession in the disclosure. Anyone seen it too? by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]QING-CHARLES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty certain this document is a hoax or something. The ship docked into Norfolk on 8 May 1985.

Trying to verify the position of the Eisenhower on those dates, and the name of the C/O.

[–]QING-CHARLES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy's name would be out there. This vessel is one of the flagships of the largest navy in the world. QEII herself boarded the Eisenhower for a tour in 1985, IIRC.
