At least LA wasn't down wind. Veritasium did an eye opening vid on how fallout blew across the country and was ruining Kodak's film on the East Coast.

And they stayed quiet it about it.

How Kodak Exposed Nuclear Testing

The Sedan test [1], part of Project Plowshare, was an underground test in Nevada that sent fallout across a large swath of the U.S. Midwaste, sorry, Midwest.

The wife's family lived in Omaha, Nebraska at the time. A lot of cancer in her family. But then a lot of smokers as well. So who knows.

Regardless, that one was a major fuck-up that seems to have kind of put the kibosh on "underground" testing of that sort.

ffs, the crater is a tourist attraction now.

In my state you have to renew your nursing license every 2 years with continuing education.


Have you never seen the documentary Office Space where penny rounding goes terribly wrong?!

There's so many Dumb Ways to Die in the game.

I always played with cheats on just so I could try all the characters and see all their quests and stuff.

Amazing the Ascension speed record is like 49 minutes.


Now now, it's that the game is full of ways to have YASD, Yet Another Stupid Death.


It's bad enough when you've got constantly changing "best practices" from MS so the thing you wrote last year doesn't look anything structurally like what you're doing now.

And all the 6-month-old on-line docs and tutorials aren't only useless, but time wasting.


So you don't like .NET, that's fine. I'm not saying everyone needs to use .NET. I'm saying pick one thing and stick with it.

That said I think you're exaggerating those complaints, the docs for C# are quite good imo and I've been working with ASP.NET web apps for half a decade so far and I'm not seeing any problems like you're describing.

Maybe you're miffed about the Framework to Core/.NET switch? That was a bit of a doozy but the ecosystem is so much better for it I'd say it was worth it.


> the thing you wrote last year doesn't look anything structurally like what you're doing now... all the 6-month-old on-line docs and tutorials aren't only useless, but time wasting.

This is indeed a complete exaggeration.


Sorry, I love .NET and have used it from it's rollout back in 2002.

I'm just fondly remembering the ASP.NET MVC churn or more recently, Azure API whiplash.


I get you actually.

MVC churn was real, EF Churn was real, heck NETCORE itself was a (at least warned about) churn, 3.1->6.0 was minor but still definitely a thing [0].

[0] - Now that I'm thinking it out loud, maybe that's why they changed the branding from .NET CORE to just .NET; The churn was more or less 'done'...


I'm only now deprecating a netcore 2.2 API that used a 4.8 framework domain/repository layer. At the time it seems like a good idea and it received automatic security patches.


Online forums often have people asking "hey I found this tutorial for learning c# but it's way way back for .NET 7 will it even work in .NET 9?"

The answer is always a variation of "yes, you'll be fine, but also look at a "what's new" summary for the new version.


He said he "could smell the onions and mustard"...

The Fox News chyron will probably be "protesters use mustard gas on brave officer"


During the Seattle BLM protests, SPD vacated the neighborhood precinct building to show how violent the protestors were, and then they claimed that an "incendiary device" had been thrown through the window to burn down the building. The "incendiary device" in question was a candle which I don't believe was even lit.


Say and do anything they can think of to delay the Epstein bomb from going off.


I get that Ken Paxton is a Trump toady, but how will this not be dismissed out of hand?

The autism claims have no basis in fact and "because RFK and Trump said so" isn't evidence.


The claims and lawsuit are probably based on the internal memo from J&J execs who acknowledged the possible connection:

https://www.financialexpress.com/world-news/us-news/bombshel...

The leaked memos went to DCNF via a law firm with prior suit with Kenvue, so take it with however much salt you want, but there does appear to be internal concern over the data.


It won't be dismissed out of hand because there is a colorable legal argument assuming the necessary facts and some (very weak) evidence that can be proferred for each of the necessary facts, which is pretty much all that is necessary to get to trial if you are committed and not worried about winning.

If the strategy is to get a settlement without agreement to fault extracting a bit of money to avoid the cost of litigation and use that also as a political hammer to reinforce the popular perception that the claim of a link is true, I can certainly see it being (despite being wildly unethical, an abuse of public office, etc.) an understandable course of action (I don't think it ultimately works even there, unless there is also separate corrupt pressure to settle by people abusing government, perhaps federal, offices in different ways—but that is also a possibility—because even a no admission of guilt settlement becomes hard for J&J publicly if even meaningful moves public perception.) I don't think there is much chance that they win a verdict at trial and survive appeals on it, but... that doesn't have to be the goal.


There are some actual studies behind it, which complicate things into a "scientific consensus" discussion rather than "no credible claims" discussion. Good statistics make the claims go away, but arguing about the correct use of statistics in court is gonna drag on.


Well... by filing the suit, if it isn't dismissed immediately, then Texas gets to do discovery on J&J. J&J may be unwilling to let that happen.

So options are dismissed immediately, J&J settles, Texas drops it after discovery (if they fail to find a smoking gun), or it goes to trial and Texas has to actually prove it.


If there's a settlement, that's as good as a win for those that believe this. They will look guilty as hell to everyone that wants to believe. I don't see any way a settlement is a valid choice for the defense. This is one of those you want to end decisively. Any time it is brought up after, you just point back to the court case. If you settle, any time it is brought up after there will always be linger speculation on why did they settle. It will forever be an albatross around their neck.

Plus, Tylenol is... a pretty large product, and I don't think they're willing to just flush that entire product line down the toilet.


All true. The only way J&J would settle is if what Texas might find in discovery is worse than accepting a settlement (including in PR terms).

Look, I'm not saying that it's going to happen that way in this case. But in terms of possible outcomes, it's one that is possible.


I'd be happy just being Hikaru, whose busy seal clubbing his way to the spot on the Candidates.
