Really it goes back on to the seller. Because if I don't get my item, I'm going to dispute the charge on my credit card. Eventually, someone pays, but not me.

Because people believe it, and courts have accepted as fact that DNA evidence is infallible. Certainly there have been cases where DNA has been successfully challenged, but those are very rare. In the overwhelming number of cases where DNA evidence is present, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy for juries and judges.

If there is DNA evidence that is almost a guilty verdict. It should be more closely scrutinized but not everyone is rich enough to afford a real defense.

Same thing happened to Barbara Mukulski of Maryland. She just stopped showing up unless her vote was absolutely necessary

Remember when Steve Jobs returned to Apple and simplified the product line? I feel like Apple needs that again.

I love my iPad because of the pencil. I got rid of an office overflowing with paper, and I write everything in an app on the iPad. It then gets saved up into the cloud. That alone has made iPad worth it for me. Sometimes I watch movies on it.

I maintain that we do NOT have a housing crisis, only a crisis of not enough housing in cities and places where people want to live. Instead, we have a neighborhood and zoning problem.

I think you can convince just about anyone to hate given time and the right circumstances, but it's even easier IMO when it is prescribed to groups. Then in-group dynamics reinforce the behavior.

As I mentioned, older Boeing's. The Dreamliner been flying since 2011, that's an older Boeing for me, compared to the 737 Max which has only been flying commercially since 2016.

Large quantities of chili pose a risk

That may be true, but what about a small quantity of a potent chili? While I am not a fan of very spicy foods (quite mild if you don't mind) I think this is a waste of government resources and time. As long as the customer is clearly made aware the product they are purchasing is very spicy, that is enough.

It is definitely regional. I read in a book about grocery stores that the stores only stock about 10% of items that are uncommon for a given market area. Everything else is based on priory buying history, which is why you might find different items in different parts of the country for the same grocery brand; i.e. Kroger.

I think Musk should get the pay package. It's an obscene amount of money, but the shareholders voted for it, and it would be wrong for the court to stand in the way going forward.

I thought the EU had solved a lot of this by unifying the markets.

I am ok with older Boeing airplanes. While I am skeptical of the company's current safety program, and attention to detail, I think the older planes - with many C checks done - are safe to fly. Something happened with the 737 Max, clearly a management decision, that increased risk or perhaps inattention to detail.

My opinion is that the company was run by bean counters instead of engineers, and the stock market convinced the business people that changing the way they made airplanes, made sense.

I don't trust the device, the maker, the company behind the facial recognition technology, and you. If I give software access to analyzing my face it opens the door to overt and covert acts that further erode my privacy.

But really, I don't need a reason other than I'm uncomfortable with it. I worry about people who are comfortable with it..

Maybe this is unrelated but I refuse to do facial ID, or any type of facial verification. I don't want my phone, or any device that I am using, to record or analyze my features. Maybe that is nit picking a little but I am uncomfortable with all of it.

Public funded news is a terrible idea because it's too easy to become corrupted by politics. This makes it easier for Netflix to raise prices, but it is what the people seem to want. Otherwise I guess we'll find out at the elections next year.
