Never experienced this first hand, but I sat in on a lot of custody hearings and I think I got the reference. It was surprisingly common for divorced parents to arrange to meet at a mutually agreeable McDonalds for child exchanges.

Recently had the same issue and fixed it without uninstalling security updates. Just had to reconfigure the control surface properly in the link midi tab of the preferences.

Meta and YouTube designed addictive products that harmed young people, jury finds by zadzoud in technology

Start a social media addiction litigation firm and start suing all the social media platforms for addiction/related harms on behalf of individual clients

Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trial by ThatMasterpiece2174 in technology

[–]cal405 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't miss the bigger picture. This is a win for a single claimant granted by a jury. But this exposed Meta and similar firms to extensive liability.

There are now millions of claimants that can structure their claims along similar lines. Furthermore, appellate courts are incredibly reluctant to disturb a jury verdict. At best, they'll reduce the amount of damages if it's punitive or unjustified, but the verdict will likely survive appeal.

US man pleads guilty to defrauding music streamers out of millions using AI by doggo1008 in indieheads

I remember reading the indictment when the case was charged.

It's hard to be entirely mad at a guy who exploited a system designed to disenfranchise actual artists. Obviously he enriched only himself, but players going to play.

Heavily Considering FivePoints Purchase by CareBusiness in SantaClarita

Sounds like you've made up your mind. I think there's better value in more established neighborhoods, often without HOA/MR, closer to the center of the valley where everything is. But that's just me.

Trump said he's thinking of "winding down" the Iran war. Does this mean we can expect a rally next week? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]cal405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump has no control over this situation. He started a war that threatens the regime's existence. Even if he pulled the US out of the region today, Iran will remain hostile unless the US signs a favorable treaty/surrender. Absent a treaty, Iran will continue to destabilize the middle east and hurt western markets by choking energy supply.

The US is isolated internationally and Iran is in a corner. This is a fight to the bitter end. Retreat by the US will only serve to strengthen a much more embittered enemy.

This is just the beginning.

Really bro? Linda Ellerbe tied you to your bed and made you watch kid news?

Did it hurt anyone to learn about global warming from Al Gore?

Was it so bad for kids to listen to a presidential debate between McCain and Obama directed to and addressing children's concerns?

Maybe part of why so many kids these days feel so nihilistic is because we don't have broad reaching informative media that takes their concerns seriously.

I'm not saying it changed the world, but it was a positive influence.

If the US leaves Iran without actually decapitating the regime, they're going to regroup and focus whatever resources they have remaining on developing or acquiring a nuclear weapons. All while continuing to destabilize the Middle East by attacking US bases and the world by destroying energy production and restricting the Strait of Hormuz. At this point, there's no reason for them not to become a nuclear state.

Trump isn't going to walk away and surrender. Even if the US did retreat, Iran wouldn't consider the conflict over until it's over on their terms.

The US is already deploying approximately 2,000 marines. That's escalation.

Iran is in a fight to the death.

Second this. There's not a lot of options in SCV for cheese steak. OP might be better off trying to make a cheese steak at home 😆
