South Korea court orders Japan to compensate 'comfort women', reverses earlier ruling (www.reuters.com)

SEOUL, Nov 23 (Reuters) - A South Korean appellate court on Thursday ordered Japan to compensate a group of 16 women who were forced to work in Japanese wartime brothels, overturning a lower court ruling that dismissed the case and prompting a stern protest from Tokyo.

I don’t know whether this is an unpopular opinion or not but I actually think that the way Tasha Yar died gave the show much higher stakes throughout it’s entire run.

Traverse City is a relatively progressive area completely surrounded by people that still have Trump signs in their yards. If the state had any kind of forethought, they would have quietly waited until 2024, then filed suit under the new LGBTQ protections that go into effect January 1.

Ostrich burgers are excellent. There used to be a sports store near here that served burgers (bison, elk, ostrich) and the ostrich was the best. Also deep fried alligator nuggets, but honestly once you bread and deep fry something they’re pretty much all the same.

Do NOT run a crack or patch of any kind. They may pass a Malwarebytes scan, or test clean on virustotal, but one I just ran across tried downloading a bunch of data when I ran it in a VM. Don’t risk it, I’ve been burned in the past. And now with online banking, Paypal, Venmo, cryptocurrency, it’s just not worth it.

You might try installing the software in a VM, running the patch in the VM, and then moving the software over to your primary, but I would still be worried about that.

The other people here say you’ll probably be fine, but you need to ask yourself if it’s worth giving up any of your passwords to an attacker. At best you’re looking at a completely benign patch, and a working installation of the software. At worst…it can be pretty bad.

Wait for a keygen, or go without the software. Or, and I do this a lot lately, look around for a free, open source equivalent.

The Supreme Court says it is adopting a code of ethics, but it has no means of enforcement (news.yahoo.com)

The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves...

Seriously, read this thing. It’s full of “should” and “should not”, but quite lacking in “must” and “must not”. Who cares about enforcement when the damn thing doesn’t cover anything important?

Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with the same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now?

Even if they did, won’t they get a lot of false positives because of a large amount of it being sprayed hemp buds that are legal as hemp? Also, I know a lot of dispensaries get their stock like vape pens and such delivered this way already. How does that all work?

Years ago Pirate Bay made a big deal about starting a 3D model repository, but it really didn’t catch on. Too many places to get free models already. Granted there are some places you can buy really high detail models from movies and games (is gambody still around? Will I get a strike for mentioning gambody like I did on reddit?).

If you really want to torrent 3D models, I’ll tell you what I tell everybody. qBittorrent has a very nice search function that, once set up properly, will hit a lot of public trackers straight from the interface. If you have a specific model in mind, give that a shot. Or just search for “3d model” or “STL” or whatever, and you’ll get hits.

It seems EVERY rockstar has a penchant for really young women. I’ve lost track of the number of songs about underage girls (“she’s only sixteen…”,“She was just 17” etc.) Paul Simon fell in love with a 16 year old, and took her on tour. She’s on one of his album covers.

Please, I just want to see some TV shows set in-universe, without having any major effect on other storylines. Give me a Jimmy Woo X-files spin-off. Give me a sit-com centered around waste-disposal technicians on Corellia. Give me a show about a Mandalorian bounty hunter that WON’T affect the entire galaxy. A show about a low-level villain trying to gain infamy but failing miserably.
