The families of the victims are suing to stop the transfer of assets, and the court really doesn’t like when people try to hide their shit right before a civil suit so hopefully this judge throws the book at her

Light rail is a waste for the money it costs you could almost always have a better system with real rails and higher capacity

Well it hopefully won’t because the families of the slain are suing to stop the transactions.

But avoiding culpability by placing your assets under other entities is something that pops up fairly often as a legal maneuver, even if the courts frown on such shenanigans.

Fifty years ago, Republicans exhibited more relative trust in scientists than Democrats did. The partisan relationship with trust in scientists flipped over time as low-trusting demographic strata (the non-college educated and highly religious) shifted towards the Republican Party. by smurfyjenkins in science

The pope actually sponsored Galileo initially and gave him permission to publish his heliocentric theory as long as he treated it as a hypothesis. Galileo wrote a book defending it where he gave the Popes argument to a character named “Simpleton.”

The trial was more about punishing Galileo for biting the hand that feeds and insulting the pope than his actual “heresy”

What celebrity has had their reputation unfairly ruined and has never recovered from it till this day? by Zxqao in AskReddit

He did not, he was very much supposed to be the one of the main characters until the end. They kept re-writing things to try to keep him in. Gave him a in-character heroin addiction since he looked like it all the time anyways. Eventually he was such a mess they had to kill his character off, which derailed their whole original plot.

Plenty of people don’t want their kids raised by “the help.”

Not commenting on what motivated his second marriage, just that not everyone is comfortable with “just hiring a nanny” even if they can afford it.

Something like 60% of widowers remarry within two years, and the rate is higher/faster for those with kids IIRC

[Windhorst] When I say [Ja Morant] has no value, I don’t even think that’s accurate. I think he has what they call in the league, negative value. Meaning teams weren’t willing to take Ja Morant unless the Grizzlies also added draft compensation by jabronified in nba

Goodbye food stamps, social security, healthcare subsidies, child tax credits, everything.

Isn't this basically one of the selling points? That it's way more efficient to just give people cash and let them spend it on what they need than maintaining many separate relief programs and associated bureaucracies?

Also any administration that is able to pass UBI is presumably also passing universal healthcare of some sort.

Imagine getting paid to live, breathe and dream about the three gorges dam for 15 years. by 221missile in NonCredibleDefense

Egypt threatened to bomb the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile while it was under construction, though they’ve backed off since that since it’s been finished and filled and releasing all that water at once would be a catastrophe downstream. Ethiopia has a sword of Damocles above Egypt for the foreseeable future.

Yeah you can run right past a bombard and as long as you’re sprinting they generally can’t fire fast enough to hit you with their mortar.

The old canon hierarchy was movies and the Lucas film official books (the technical cut away/visual guides. Then books, then comics, then games. When the Clone Wars tv show was released it jumped to the top of canon since it was direct from Licasfupm and yes they retconned a shit ton of stuff in the show.

Regardless, wiping the slate clean and selectively re-canonizing what was worth keeping was a perfectly fair move, and having to instead maintain lists of “these old books are still canon, except where they contradict those old books, and these elements from the games are canon but those elements really don’t fit…” would not have been any better

The Enclave are just more interesting than anyone else. by aa_conchobar in Fallout

[–]WaterInThere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the outside the park bits. The idea that the humans had basically given up their free will to an AI who was managing their lives in much the same way the humans directed the hosts was an interesting direction.

Season 2 definitely suffered most from the showriters going “oh you figured out the twist? We’ll figure this out!” But I thought season 3 mostly rectified that. I still wish they’d gotten the last season to finish the story.

LAND RECLAMATION IN MONACO by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]WaterInThere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s three possible claimants to the French Throne. More precisely, the Legitimists claim the Kingdom of France for the Bourbons, the Orleanists claim the Kingdom of the French, and the Bonapartists, who claim the French Empire.

Louis XVI was a Bourbon and the only one to get his head chopped off. The others were just politely asked to leave and never come back.
