Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan that shields Sackler family faces Supreme Court review (www.cbsnews.com)

Long before Purdue Pharma filed for bankruptcy, before the series’ “Dopesick” and “Painkiller” brought the Sackler family and devastation of the opioid crisis into Americans’ living rooms, and before her son died of a drug overdose at the age of 33, Ellen Isaacs was sounding the alarm about the opioid epidemic....

Don’t forget about Mallinkrodt. They agreed to pay out massive amounts of Methadone over 5 years and millions in fines as part of their bankruptcy and as soon as they emerged the filed again and said they couldn’t pay.

They found the sweet spot between oops we broke it again and these poor people seem to be actually accumulating savings

I blamed my Subaru for a lot of my issues then i switched apps and amazingly every single issue went away.

This is on par with what i do with the addition of two external hard drives. One with my stuff (server+personal) and one when her stuff (personal). I can recover shit in multiple ways and if she needs to she just grabs the external and plugs it into a laptop.

That’s called logic and I’m not sure it’s applicable to modern society anymore. I really wish it was but too many people are just allowing their world view to be skewed by news bytes like this. They read it, accept it as fact and march on.

And they actually can get reprimanded or fired for doing so. Fuck it.

I’m not sure how peanut butter is sealed but usually foil lids are sealed with an induction sealer. Cap it’s tightened down (if not potential for a bad deal) and the foil in the cap is pushed tight to the bottle/jar. The metal heats up, melts the plastic and seals.

The Pope is considered infallible correct? So American priests think the Pope is wrong. Some Henry the eighth shit right there.

If you dislike Ombi try Overseerr. Completely different user experience, watchlist sync for users. It’s actually decent to use to discover stuff.

Proxmox for the win. As a complete hobbyist it’s been amazingly easy to use with enough features to keep me learning.

Some Republicans Were Willing to Compromise on Abortion Ban Exceptions. Activists Made Sure They Didn’t. (www.propublica.org)

My Bambino was ready in minutes. My Profitec Go takes a while. Very very dependent on the model. I wouldn’t go back to the Bambino at all

They are gonna keep on increasing prices even if no one buys. That’s what is currently driving any remaining spending. It’s 100 now or 150 later.

I’m by no means saying it’s right it wrong to spend now vs later but I know for a fact they will always charge more eventually.

I don’t know, my interest is piqued now.

I mean I think the intention was the votes go to people who will put competent judges in place rather than for hire judges not so much actually vote for the judges themselves.

Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.

I’m not sure if you realize this but using that term when it’s not really applicable looks silly. Using that term when it’s 100% not remotely applicable makes you look like a moron.

U.S. Pledge To Triple Global Nuclear Energy By 2050 (www.huffpost.com)

When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that’s also very...

Because it’s all theater. Most of these loonies are extras they just don’t know it. It’s one giant distraction. A fuckin flea circus. Just make sure you’re paying attention so you don’t notice your wallet getting lighter or your rights getting smaller.
