My mother was a reading teacher. She bought all the books her kids read each year. She'd hand them out. The kids would keep them for a few weeks, and usually return them.

Every year I would schlep several boxes of her books, between home and her classroom. 30 copies of this. 40 copies of that. Maybe a couple dozen titles. I personally would've appreciated it, if the school bought the books, so I didn't have to carry them all twice a year.

This is why I thought Blink Twice was the most realistic horror movie I've ever seen. I new that kind of thing was happening some place.

Sounds like you buy a lot of weed.

That is a tall claim.

Not at all. You can absolutely choose not to vaccinate. It just limits the places you're able to work, or send your kids to school.

The freedom to swing your arms, ends at someone else's nose. If you choose to set yourself up to spread a deadly infection, it makes sense for society to limit your chance of doing so.

Of course it is!

They're not promising they won't be hacked again.
They're only promising they'll try not to be. Which is promising practically nothing.

People looking at a strobing light, start to see it as just "on" (not blinking anymore) at almost exactly 60Hz.
In double blind tests, pro gamers can't reliably tell 90fps from 120.
There is however, an unconscious improvement to reaction time, all the way up to 240fps. Maybe faster.

Kagi AI summery:
Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is suing SpaceX for allegedly taking over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that CAH purchased in 2017 to prevent the construction of Trump's border wall. CAH claims it maintained the land but SpaceX later moved construction equipment and materials onto the property without permission. The lawsuit seeks up to $15 million in damages to restore the land and cover losses, and also requests punitive damages. CAH says SpaceX never asked for permission to use the property and never apologized for the damage. The lawsuit includes before and after photos purporting to show SpaceX's use of the land.

And CAH's website all about it

How many people did he get sick because he refused to stay home when he should've?

I won't encourage this kind of dedication

I saw a law office once in the early 2000s that was 9-5. And the entire office shut down for an hour, while they all had lunch together in the conference room. The phones all went to voicemail and everything. I was working on replacing a few of their computers that day. They made me stop and join them. Seemed like a great place to work.

Agreed. It really looks like they only killed the one whistle blower.

I can also see the irony. But I can't imagine another way to do it at any scale. Do you know of another option?
