While I’ve never been in a position to hire a nanny, I’d probably walk out of a job if I showed up on day one and the boss suggested that I take a bath with him.

There are some interesting quotes missing from the podcast for the second woman who sent the text ‘Thank you for a lovely, lovely night. Wow x.’ the next day and then also “sent Mr Gaiman numerous text and video messages in which she explicitly said she had consented during their sexual encounters, and also said she…

“Overlap in their fanbases” is evidence of wrongdoing? What is wrong with you?

40 years his junior? idk where you got your math degree buddy but she was 20 years old and he was in his mid-40s in 2003. Not getting into age gap discourse, but that’s 20 years not 40 lol

The fact that once you click through to the site, they expect you to sit through a four-goddamn-part podcast to get the full story instead of including all the info in the written story really annoyed me. I’ll wait for more sources to pop up.

Tortoise Media, which as I write this is the only source for this story, is a far right podcast strongly tied to Boris Johnson, and best known for screaming about trans people. Neil Gaiman has been hugely critical of Johnson ever since he came onto the public scene, and is currently doing multiple projects with strong…

Yikes if true. I listened to the podcasts, they seem to be highly padded and most facts seem to be “corroborated” by third parties who were not present at the time of the accused actions. This outlet seems to specialize in very broad, thinly researched SA accusation serials. Believe victims but also, something smells…

Plenty of people in open relationships don’t commit sexual assault.  Not saying Gaiman is innocent but it’s this sorta attitude that gets innocent peoples railroaded as “sexual deviants”. 

Scarlett alleges that Gaiman assaulted her within hours of their meeting in his New Zealand residence in February 2022, when she was hired as a nanny for his child. The two apparently shared a bath where, according to Gaiman, they only “cuddled” and “made out” with consent.”

Having a 2024 R1T, I’m slightly concerned/amused by the halving of the ECUs in the 2025 due to both complexity and some communication failures that have been reported. (Goofy Info screen in my case). Add in removing 1.6 miles of wiring has me wondering about selling and just ordering a 2025 since I worry there is a…

It’s not uniquely a Volvo problem. Even though ICE’s have been running their throttle and brake-by-wire through the same CANBus that manages infotainment for decades now, EV’s apparently don’t keep the strict driving functions as far removed from everything else, and it makes random bugs more likely to cause serious…

I wonder what the software differences between an XC30 and XC40 Recharge would get this level of failure? This sounds more like an ECU/Chip failure than code.

I agree, but the fact is that governments can’t really wave a magic wand and make everyone responsible pay up. They need to sue everyone involved if they refuse. $2,000,000,000,000 pays for a lot of exceptional lawyers.

Replacing functional bridges always take a really long time, particularly as people argue about how functional the foundations are, since that is a massive cost saving. Also, getting a DOT to commit multi-year money to a functional structure over all the dysfunctional stuff becomes a very political fight. DOT budgets…

I imagine this is like the Chicago Flood of the 90's where they had started the traditional bidding process to fix a known problem, but once it escalated, they just called the best guy for the job and told them to fix it. Not quite as straightforward with building a new bridge, but same principle is probably there. (I’…

Good points, and I didn’t know there had already been talks about replacing it.

Force majeure covers mechanical failures?  The ship wasn’t blown into the bridge by unexpected hurricane-force winds.

who will then bill the cargo companies for whatever they owe for the salvage efforts

I’ll wager that you won’t find a corporation anywhere that operates under the idea that using the cheapest/worst supplier, going the cheapest route possible, is best, and will “maximize profits.” Its common business sense that going this route invites more problems and, down the line, more cost.

Lol it’ll cost some profits, but not much out of the record profits most companies are seeing these days.
