The accident that has stuck with me was from 2007 at Kentucky Kingdom. A cable snapped on the Tower of Power (a sudden drop ride). The cable wrapped around the feet of a 13-year-old girl on the ride. When the car dropped, the cable sheared off both her feet. Horrifying.

What we can learn: Don’t touch people who are being electrocuted.

In a civil trial you don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt which is the standard for criminal cases.  In this case it was "preponderance of the evidence" a much lower standard. 

I’ve always heard that the amount requested doesn’t really matter. Ultimately it’s up to the jury to determine liability and the value of that liability. Although maybe the jury inferred ulterior motives based on the high value requested? I dunno.

I haven’t read anything since the ruling from the jury about their decision, but Spacey’s team was able to establish two very strong arguments that may have been influential. First was that Rapp’s story described a one bedroom apartment while Spacey had a studio at the time. Second Rapp said his decision to speak out…

I haven’t seen any jury interviews. There’s a piece on the verdict on a site called Deadline.com that purports to briefly summarize the closing arguments. It looks like Rapp was inconsistent in some of the details about the incident. However, I think it’s probably the battery of neuropsychological tests Rapp’s…

Agreed. I was thinking $40M was quite a bit, but that definitely helped to grab attention and “shine a light” on this kind of behavior.

I give Rapp credit for being incredibly generous to the jury. It would have been easy to say something even along the lines of “I respect their decision, even if I was disappointed” and he took an extremely high road. Kudos to him.

On the flip side, if you are the Running Partner in a couple, try to avoid making your partner feel like a Running Widow/Widower. This mostly pertains to folks training for a marathon. It tends to be all consuming, and the runner needs to get how that affects their partner. It can be a drag and it can get lonely. For…

I’ve used three types of ladders. Aluminum, wood and fiberglass. None of them are ferrous and would hold a magnet.

The answer to most of the issues in this article is: tool belt. Also no mention of knowing the ladder weight rating, or checking the feet and locks for proper operation or damage.

Aaaand we have our first commenter who obviously didn’t bother to read the article. None of the suggested activities have anything to do with personal care.

Also if you swerve and miss the deer but hit a tree or roll your car, you’re going to be considered at-fault and it’ll most likely be noted as a collision on your insurance. Make sense as then anyone who is having an accident can just claim a deer ran in front of them. I’m not sure if a dash showing the deer might…

I mean ‘Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared’ is internet culture from 2011. I don’t think that counts as kid culture at this point. 

I hope that she’s able to get out of this situation safely! 

This is not a Pixel challenge... its a Google Authenticator challenge and its relevant to IOS as well. I had the same issue when I went from my iPhone 10 to the 12. Wiped the old device and returned it before realizing I missed this step. When I went from the 12 to the 14, I remembered this step and saved myself a lot…

It is like a chatroom, and that’s part of the appeal. It’s a mess if you’re in a big public server, but in a smaller one it’s a nice way to stay in contact with a handful of people.

it’s not a replacement for forums, it’s a method for real-time and asynchronous communication for groups.  The appeal is largely voice channels, the ability to have private rooms and locked channels, and the ability to easily post all kinds of media.
