First corporations were people, now they’re kings.
There would be zero response if she had literally told another person she was going to kill them, in fact law enforcement would simply dismiss the event as not a legitimate threat.
In our corporatocracy/oligarchy even repeating words used during a crime is a serious crime worthy of imprisonment when our corporate overlords are involved.
Thomson hid behind company sponsored laws passed by bought politicians to legally kill tens of thousands of people despite valid insurance coverage. He is nothing more than a murderous villain, but it’s not the least bit surprising that the NYT thinks he’s a hero.
I don’t think us mere mortals can hope to understand the mysteries of Amazon marketing services.
Some problems with that:
I had 2 of these just this week. Disney+ sent an ESPN ad with no way to unsubscribe, despite my having all marketing emails turned off. Their chat rep laughably insisted it was not a marketing email, just a way to “help” people use their services. It’s very kind of Disney to be looking out for me.
Best Buy sent me a marketing ad with a $5 coupon (lol) attached. All marketing emails were disabled with them too and again there was no way to unsubscribe.
Both problems were easily solved by deleting my accounts.
13K pesos, or about 650 dollars.
When I had United Healthcare my doctor would often perform multiple routine services when I saw him. UHC denied every single claim, saying services performed weren’t the purpose of the original appointment. They wouldn’t just deny the claim for those services, they denied the claim for the entire visit and it happened almost every time I saw my doctor.
United Healthcare obviously didn’t want me to make multiple visits for the same services because that would have cost much more. The crooks running the company were instead pocketing huge unearned profits because they knew few people would appeal their constant denials. Health Net served up other flavors of the same shit.
These companies need to be put out of business permanently.
I have two Zen 30 switches and since I wrote that comment a week ago both have died. Zooz is blaming the failures on an installation error after 18 months of use! Instead static discharge is the logical cause and since it’s a fact of life in my home, if Zooz won’t replace the Zen 30’s I’ll move away from their devices and will install Shelly wifi relays and Minoton wireless controllers instead.
The Zen 30 switches have mostly worked until now, but occasionally they haven’t responded to Home Assistant for a minute or two - really frustrating when standing in the dark waiting for the lights to come on. Leviton dimmer plugs and Minoton wireless controllers connected to the same Zooz Z-Wave stick have been flawless, as have all my Tasmota wifi and Zigbee devices.
To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.
Not the case. The 1st Amendment provides freedom of speech without fear of repercussions by the U.S. government. We do not have the right to express any opinion without repercussions from literally any other source.
For Windows user who don’t want to bother learning a new OS? Mint, no question. The latest releases are easy to install and configure, Cinnamon will feel familiar, and it works flawlessly on most hardware.
Where did you get the idea this guy was numb?
A few years ago on a cruise we sat at a table with a doctor who said he was in charge of all United Healthcare insurance approvals. This guy didn’t just mention he had to sometimes refuse people care, he was absolutely giddy about it and took sadistic pleasure in seeing other people suffer. We moved to a different table to get away from him.
I guess we’ll find out eventually, but I’ve got to wonder if the shooter was pushed over the edge after someone close to him died due to refusal of care by United Healthcare.
Despite fairly congested 2.4ghz wifi in my area with 18 networks detected by my phone, all Zigbee and Tasmota wifi devices on my network are nearly 100% reliable. In my experience Zooz Z-wave devices have been less so and occasionally are unresponsive. Other Z-wave devices have been much better.
The Tasmota plugs and lights in my network generate very little network traffic. Power monitoring plugs will generate more, but with 1 second update intervals that traffic should still be minimal.
“Hate speech” is defined and outlawed by countries around the world:

Threatening people based on their religion, race or other attributes is not dissent.
The same idiots upset about the inflation that was largely caused by record corporate profits voted for a felon who has promised to jack prices up by $3,000+ per year for the average family by slapping tariffs on everything. Women questioned about their Trump vote said they voted for him because he’d preserve their right to choose. Others were asking Google whether Biden dropped out the day before the election.
Abject idiocy is absolutely accurate.
Harder - lol. He’ll have to settle for two 180 foot yachts instead of three.
That is correct.

I’m using Netgear adapters between my router and a dumb AP. They’ve been very reliable outside of occasionally not coming back online by themselves after a power failure.
