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.

That's not why they were kicked out. The coach lied, to get them playing in the boys league, since they were so good.
So of course they got kicked out. What you expect the league to do?

He explained:
"In November of 2023, Next Level and Larry McGraw deceptively registered a girls team into the 6th grade boys league and under the gender listed as MALE."
"We entered them into the league assuming they were a boys’ team as conveniently no roster was ever provided."
"Subsequently, their first game was filled in by a boys 6th grade Next Level team because they played the 6th grade boys Cincinnati Royals team - coached by myself, so there was no reason to suspect anything different."

He continued:
"It wasn’t until late January/early February that several teams from the 6th-grade division started traveling down to Kentucky to play their scheduled games, that it became apparent that the Next Level team was, in fact, a girls team."
"Several complaints from coaches and teams were filed because of this deception."

Social media users, however, saw SWOB's statement as deflecting from another issue, one that accused the league of trying to keep their feelings from getting hurt in the event the boys were defeated by girls.

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?
