A nearly comical reminder that corporations aren't your friend.
  • This case has awful optics but it isn't as insane as it is presented here. First, it's just resolving things by arbitration not dismissing the suit completely. Second, Disney didn't own the restaurant in question, it was on their property, and they promoted it on their website. Its reasonable that an arbitration agreement for something like disney+ could be extended to the use of their website.

  • I haven't seen season 2 and 3 since they first aired like 25 years ago or something. But I remember Tommy going Green->White->Red->Black, but given the suites here I think he'd either not exist, be Green or be White. The obvious exclusion would be Zack right?

    At massive Vegas rally, Harris energizes Democrats, pledges to end tax on tips - The Nevada Independent
  • She doesn't really have an official policy yet. Not surprising given the number of issues she needs positions on and how quickly this campaign needed to spin up. She basically went straight into campaign events. Presumably she'll have a platform by the DNC

  • How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
  • If you are serious about losing weight, what I would suggest you do is start recording what you are eating in detail to see where the calories are actually coming from. Make a spreadsheet and track it. Also if you aren't already active, pick up some activity to become less sedentary. Doesn't need to be working out, could be a sport, could be going for more walks.

  • Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report
  • Sure of the first point I guess? I'm not some huge advocate of this technology, I'm just saying it's not an apples to apples comparison where you can simply say its 4x worse.

    On the second point, no. It takes 10s or 100s of millions of years for coal/oil to form. And most of the stuff we mine/drill for was formed from trees before bacteria/fungus evolved ways to break down cellulose, so dead trees just piled up. Its plausible that its never removed from the carbon cycle unless we are the ones to put it back where we got it from. It will certainly not happen on human time scales.

  • NYC's ice cream museum is sued by a man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool
  • Eeeh. Its reasonably to try I guess, but looking at the examples, its cherry picked promotional materials where the words jump and dive were used as swimming related puns for going to the museum. None of them were literal advertisements about jumping into the sprinkle pool.

  • Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report
  • The way its currently operating seems highly inefficient, but the point about biopower stations is that they aren't introducing more carbon into the carbon cycle. These trees would have died eventually and returned to the carbon cycle naturally, they are just controlling the process for human power. Imagine if it was running off of a tree farm that was geographically next to the power plant, for instance.

  • Surprise Poll Reveals a Key Trump Weakness Against Kamala Harris
  • Plenty of latino people identify as white. Another group have fled to the US from socialist countries like Cuba, and don't like the left. Yet another have gone through the immigration process properly and resent the idea of others being able to bypass what they had to go through. (obviously there is some heavy overlap in these groups). When you add them all together its not an insubstantial % of latinos.
