“Tartaglione has faced claims that he tried to murder Epstein while they were in the same cell. In July 2019, Epstein was found unresponsive and later told a guard that Tartaglione “tried to kill him”, a source told CBS. Epstein also told prison guards that Tartaglione was trying to “extort money from him and stated that if he didn’t pay him, that he would beat him up,” according to the outlet.”
Is the pardon for getting his job done?
Or until they beat the confession into the suspect, whichever happens first.
Rest of him couldn’t fit.
In the States, anyone can attempt to sue anyone for anything. Doesn’t mean you’ll win, or that you won’t be countersued, or that you won’t be penalized for wasting the court’s time, all of which should apply to those two examples.
Our Great Pumpkin President once sued a journalist for a billion dollars because he hurt his feelings. That was not the stated purpose, but his argument was the journalist caused grievous emotional harm. To be clear, much like Trump at the time, the journalist did not have a billion dollars, and the case was thrown out. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=8100467&page=1
Here’s what our actual laws against booby traps entail: “A booby trap may be defined as any concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause bodily injury when triggered by any action of a person making contact with the device. This term includes guns, ammunition, or explosive devices attached to trip wires or other triggering mechanisms, sharpened stakes, nails, spikes, electrical devices, lines or wires with hooks attached, and devices for the production of toxic fumes or gases.” https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/booby-traps/
So yeah, actual booby traps are illegal, but a concrete mailbox is not necessarily a booby trap. A lawsuit arguing a concrete mailbox is a booby trap is an attempt to classify it as booby trap, which means it is not currently classified as one.
Opposable thumbs. 👍
And I’ve hit the age when I am angry to see an old still from The Price is Right features pre-ozempic Drew Carey and not Bob Barker.
It’s not just homes. I was working at a place when it moved to a newly built office. Plagued with dumb mistakes. Most striking was when we got into summer. First really humid day, AC stopped, wouldn’t turn back on, and then we realized water was seeping from the ceiling in the bathroom. Room was drenched. Turns out, the original building plan was for AC to use a water drain, but the building or fire inspector said it needed to be pumped. The builder did order a pump installed, but because it wasn’t in the plans, no electrical was built for it, so it was never plugged in. Just blatantly sloppy.
Between that and the condition of friends’ new homes we’d seen, we bought an older home, which has its own problems from age and previous owner workarounds, but we know any hidden and/or structural builder errors are long revealed.
Apple Maps. The integration across my iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch is too good, and I have Shortcuts and automations to bring up directions as needed. Also, we build guides for vegan-friendly restaurants for out-of-town trips, so it’s a real stress reliever.
I set most of my timers using Siri and avoid 30, 40, 50, and 60 exactly because I can’t seem to emphasize “TY”in a way to distinguish it from “TEEN”. My wife needs to me to clarify those too, so it’s definitely a me problem, not a Siri problem. I instead go over or under a minute or two, depending on the task.
App Clips. I’ve used these several times to pay for meals at restaurants. Those use Local for Toast. QR code on bill. Scan it. Check the items. Add the tip. Pay with Apple Pay. I eventually installed the app, but I think it still uses the clip interface instead of opening the app. Did it for parking once too, different app. My local Sunoco also has App Clip tags at the pumps, but I don’t need those. Definitely a self-serve deal in my experience. I’d see more if I went out more often.

Because Star Wars day sounds better when you say “May the Fourth be with you”. That said, I could be convinced to switch to Yoda-style “With you, the Fourth May be”.
To be clear, DC is a federal territory, not a state, so it doesn’t matter who their highest local elected official is. The only official with pardon power in federal territory is POTUS.
Flagship. The flagship is the ship that leads the fleet, but people use it to describe quality. When Nothing launched their first phone, it was a flagship because it was their only ship, but people argued it wasn’t a flagship because it didn’t use Qualcomm’s flagship chipset. People continue to refer to all of Apple’s newest numbered iPhone models as flagships, and recently looped the 16e into that group, but the Pro line is obviously the flagship line. The other models are other ships in the fleet.
Not an employee, but I was part of an accounting project for a firearms manufacturer at their local shipping and repair facility, and the repair guys would use the hallway for sight alignment, so we’d sometimes step into the hall and see a rifle pointed our way. No ammo was allowed on-site, so it was safe, but it was still unnerving for the first few weeks. Now I fear my response to seeing a rifle pointed my way will be to politely step aside and wait.
Just to be clear, we pay the cost of tariffs on imports.
Translated to English, probably “Name-of-Star” 3, as in 3rd planet from our star, same system as Star Trek. The key difference is Columbus had no idea where he was going, and aliens have to know exactly where they’re going. Can’t shoot into space and find a planet by accident.
Came here for this. Was not disappointed.
Don’t break it. Switch to kombucha. Synergy raw kombucha is 60 calories per ~450mL. Fizz is from fermentation, which gives it a little bit of alcohol but with a lot of probiotics that are good for your gut biome. I keep that and flavored carbonated water in rotation, along with plenty of filtered water.
The only hard rule is that it be phrased as a question, which implies the rest of the phrasing is irrelevant as long as the answer is in the question. In your example, “Who is the Eiffel Tower?”describes it incorrectly but correctly names the tower and should be accepted, but “What is that famous tower in Paris, France?” describes the correct answer but is missing the critical answer and should not be accepted. Also, who/what/etc. is not required to be part of the question.
What’s … in a question? The rules state, “…all contestant responses to an answer must be phrased in the form of a question.” It’s that simple. Jeopardy! doesn’t require that the response is grammatically correct. Further, the three-letter name of a British Invasion rock band can be a correct response all by itself (“The Who?”), and even “Is it…?” has been accepted. So, Matt Amodio’s no-frills approach is unique but well with guidelines. https://www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/behind-scenes/what-are-some-questions-about-jeopardy
