I suspect over-enthusiasm in a down market and ignorance by the sales office of the mall’s own contractual history. Nevertheless, the mall legal staff had access to information that Raising Cane’s could not have had and the fact the mall had gone to McDonald’s to ask for a waiver for an entirely different restaurant…

4o chickens in 40 days?

It may be covered under a home-owners policy or umbrella coverage.

The Ultimullet.

He took it private - there’s no stock in Twitter anymore. Current holders are getting checks. 

I picture the Hindenburg collapsing in flames as the future of Twitter. 

The former Twitter CEO is supposedly already working on a new social platform. If that was the only threat, Twitter could last a while. However they were burning money and now face a $1B per year loan repayment to make, kinda hard when it wasn’t turning a profit to begin with.

At some point, for me, the Dark Tower series shifted from having and end-of-times world moving on story to an exercise in writing various pieces and putting them between book covers. The rampant borrowing of elements from other authors just to add a gory twist to it was particularly distracting. It felt like he had no…

And that “day off” is a day on if you want to be promoted or get a raise. If you aren’t in for 8 hours on the day off you are a slacker. 

$30M is the fee for Jackson’s lawyers; only $60M went to Jackson.

Just a reminder:

The key is showing damages, which I expect will see a $1 award if it goes to a jury. Instead it will be dealt with as extortion, the legal kind, where they try to settle for some amount less that it will cost to defend and Barilla will have to decide if pounding these guys to dust will prevent everyone else from…

A buddy of mine, no kids, forgot about Halloween, so when children showed up he did the best he could - canned tuna. The look of surprise was apparently amazing to see. 

Oh, but it is, by far, objectively dumber. It’s a pyramid scheme that uses successful career people like Masterson as bait to lure in more suckers. However, it’s not a “go rape people” sort of organization, so that seems like it would have little to do with this case. It will have a huge amount to do with the civil…

For this to work right requires a Jetson’s future. Presently we are far closer to Mad Max.

Also mentioned by Hathur79 this isn’t starvation - this is dehydration, literally dying of thirst, every organ screaming from loss of water, though perhaps he was spared some of that by the severing of his spinal cord. Still he would know as he lost the ability to form saliva and his lips and tongue became dry and crac…

More significant, except to those released, is Biden’s call for a review of why pot is a schedule 1 drug alongside heroin with the intent of removing it from that schedule. This would open the ability to perform research, particularly in universities, that is currently prohibitively regulated. Somewhat ironic I think.

A very good friend of mine suddenly changed and began saying inappropriate things - he was dead less than a year later. Another had to quit when he could no longer recognize the street his house was on after decades of living there. He also died in less than a year.

The problem in raising children is first, there’s rarely training in how to do so. Second, children are all defective - they don’t know all the things someone older does and simply talking to them cannot work for some subjects. Like, “Don’t touch that, it will burn you” makes no sense to a child who has never suffered…

Q: “Where do you get information?”
