The article notes what the law applies to.

The law, which goes into force at the start of 2024, defines an energy drink as a beverage containing over 150mg/l of caffeine or taurine, excluding products where those substances occur naturally.

The latest report, which is both surprising and unsurprising at the same time, comes from a reliable leaker named Majin Bu, who Macrumors says has previously provided details on Apple’s upcoming cables.

Maybe I should start my own news company. You just string some words together about something and it doesn’t really have to make any sense or communicate any information. You say this happened, but at the same time maybe it didn’t happen, mention some people feel one way and other people feel a different way, throw in some meaningless speculation, someone else who is jumping to conclusions, maybe throw a pun in there somewhere, at least one person is skeptical about the thing, someone is concerned about how things will be different, and start selling space for advertisements.

Why is “data” a bad word around here?

Don’t you know the only way companies can get data is by violating your right to privacy?

Nooooo! It wasn’t created in a lab! Why would companies create and spread a virus that would require them to produce and sell billions of vaccines for?

What is attractive for many organisations and agencies on Mastodon, is that they can better control their own message, and can be sure that on their sites there won’t be something embarrassing to them right next to their posts

What?

Thanks. I guess I need to go read about it some. I don’t understand how that works.

Anyway, I’m just doing a nerdy info-dump now. I’ll leave it at that.

Well, thanks for taking the time to try and explain it. I’m trying to learn as much as I can. I’m between jobs right now and want to try to get into some sort of software development.

On the whole, most products Lego builds are identical injection molded chunks of plastic, and not complicated cars filled with exotic materials like glass, steel and cobalt.

Only the hardest hitting journalism of the highest quality from Jalopnik. Who else would appreciate the difficulties encountered trying to incorporate exotic materials like glass and steel into a vehicle?

They don’t want it to be quick and they definitely don’t want it to be painless.

Then why are they pumping people full of phenobarbital? From what I understand, that isn’t a particularly unpleasant way to die.

It’s also messy when it doesn’t fail.

Seems like states don’t want to do it because people wouldn’t suffer during execution.

Is lethal injection painful?

Prosecutors said Smith was one of two men who were each paid $1,000 to kill Sennett on behalf of her husband, who was deeply in debt and wanted to collect on insurance.

$1000? Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap.

I don’t think this is intended to improve efficiency.

Being poisoned isn’t necessarily painful. What poison do they inject?

Botched executions occur when there is a breakdown in, or departure from, the “protocol” for a particular method of execution. … Botched executions are “those involving unanticipated problems or delays that caused, at least arguably, unnecessary agony for the prisoner or that reflect gross incompetence of the executioner.”

That definition is rather broad. If you use that definition, I think the guy they are talking about executing has already been the victim of one botched execution.

Alabama attempted to execute Smith by lethal injection last year, but called off the execution because of problems inserting an IV into his veins.

If I am to be executed, I want a firing squad, a lit cigarette, and I don’t want anything crammed in my ass.

I don’t see how anyone could possibly imagine that electricity could be a civilized way to kill someone.

October 16, 1985. Indiana. William E. Vandiver. Electrocution. After the first administration of 2,300 volts, Vandiver was still breathing. The execution eventually took 17 minutes and five jolts of electricity.[8] Vandiver’s attorney, Herbert Shaps, witnessed the execution and observed smoke and the smell of burning. He called the execution “outrageous.” The Department of Corrections admitted the execution “did not go according to plan.”[9]

It was a severe form of a condition called pulmonary edema, which can induce the feeling of suffocation or drowning.

I don’t understand how we have problems with people dying in the streets from opioid overdoses or mixing benzos and alcohol, but the government can’t find a way to kill people without drowning them in their own blood.

30mag ,

Well, I can’t imagine why we got rid execution with electricity if they are supposed to suffer.

I think the thing that happened to digg is happening to reddit. It’s not surprising.

Oil companies are ultimately to blame.

The all-powerful oil companies couldn’t kill nuclear powered submarines or nuclear powered aircraft carriers. Why is that?

Exhaust fumes without lead aren’t safe to breathe… why would leaded exhaust fumes be safe?

Because those are Military. They need to work and not be dependent on a few multi-national companies for fuel.

Well, I’ve got some bad news about every single military vehicle with wheels or tracks and military airplane the United States operates.

those things are designed by people who actually know nuclear physics

I think they usually consult some people who know nuclear physics when they build nuclear power plants.

They may not be safe

The researchers sampled 39 brands of straws made of paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic. Of those, 27 were found to contain PFAS, though the concentrations were low.

It’s 50+49.3+54.2+46.2 = 199.7 if you include the half of Americans that describe financial freedom as “being comfortable, but not necessarily rich”.

Half of Americans describe “financial freedom” as being comfortable, but not necessarily rich, and 49.3% say it refers to meeting financial obligations and having some money left over each month. About 54.2% define it as living debt-free, and 46.2% believe it means never having to worry about money.

I’m always suspicious of journalists publishing numbers removed from context.

OT is a very big sink, it’s cheaper to hire more employees than, if one can, than it is to pay staff OT.

That isn’t necessarily true. Assuming OT is paid out at a time and a half rate, if you have one employee working 50 hours a week at $10 an hour, you would pay $1040 + $1510 = $550 per week, plus the cost of benefits per employee, which is $75 per week. Total: $625

If you hire an additional employee, each working 25 hours for $10 an hour, you pay $500, but the cost of benefits has doubled to $150. Total: $650

This is a extremely simple example. I am ignoring the fact that you would probably pay someone new to the job at a lower rate, the associated training costs of hiring an employee, payroll taxes, most businesses employ a higher number of people, does the business do 401K matching, whether these people work on the same shift and probably a hundred other things.

  1. I think locking someone in an 8x10 room for 95% of the day for months or years hurts and tortures people.
  2. I’m am less certain about whether not having a vegan meal option constitutes torture.

“This is B.S.,” conservative radio host Larry Elder complained in a video he shared online. “It is designed, in my opinion, to ensure that [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis is the nominee — anybody other than Donald Trump.”

Sounds like good news to me.

Looking for a new car under $20,000? Good luck. Your choice has dwindled to just one vehicle (apnews.com)

At a time when Americans increasingly want pricey SUVs and trucks rather than small cars, the Mirage remains the lone new vehicle whose average sale price is under 20 grand — a figure that once marked a kind of unofficial threshold of affordability. With prices — new and used — having soared since the pandemic, $20,000 is...

That is not because the United States does not have a government entity to hold employers accountable on the behalf of the employees, but because dismissal such as is reported in this case would not be illegal at the federal level.

For cases specifically to do with employment rules, who enforces the rule?

It depends on the rule. For example, The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 are enforced by The Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor. Rules relating to workplace health and safety are enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

I don’t understand what the Citizens United ruling changed with respect to copyright.

You must be young.

I don’t see how that is relevant or how you came to that conclusion, but I am a millennial. I don’t guess I really know much of anything though. Sorry about that.
