Disney APers suing Disney over excessive catch-up charges. (For real, their billing is something else) -- (link*) - the ice Jul 8, 19:02 5
- I don't understand why they're suing. Disney certainly made a mistake and charged AP holders. They admitted the mistake and said they'd refund. - Mop Jul 8, 19:05 4
  - It likely hit some people with overlimit/overdraft fees. At a minimum it tied up available credit/cash -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 19:07 3
    - That's a horrible article. It doesn't say anything about that. -- nm - Bob Iger Jul 8, 19:09 2

- ...and Florida... and... -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 20:56
- and the "okay, now do deaths" argument is starting to fall apart. - Tim Jul 8, 18:57 4
  - Honestly, I'm hoping we've learned more in the months since New York's surge in how to treat, thus helping to lower death rate. That would be ideal. -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 19:38
  - I don’t even bother with those who wanna play like the deaths are a pissing contest. -- nm - Qale Jul 8, 19:24
  - Also, we've changed how some states report deaths. - David Jul 8, 19:05
  - current hospitalisation doesn't look good either. like +400/day for the last two weeks. -- nm - mafic Jul 8, 19:03

- Look how much fast his line is going up compared to Lyin' Hillary's! WINNING!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 19:50
- Meh. They show the chart and then immediately (and rightfully) undermine its usefulness. -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 8, 18:15
- if he was able to understand such abstract concepts, sure -- nm - mud Jul 8, 18:14

        So Leto is a sure thing, got it -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 18:53
  - I am sure this has nothing to with the Tron coaster under construction in FL. Also, as long as Daft Punk returns to score, I am good. -- nm - Jovian Jul 8, 18:17 2
    - I mean, there's been a Tron coaster since 2016. -- nm - David Jul 8, 18:19 1
      - I know. But for most Americans it may as well not even exist. -- nm - Jovian Jul 8, 18:21

  - Oh, does Harvard have a good law school? -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 17:53 4
    - I hear it's okay. -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 17:54 3
      - I heard the previous president even graduated from it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 17:56 2

- Is it bad to think that if it were ever slightly more deadly, people would take it seriously and we wouldn't be here? - Tim Jul 8, 17:17 7
  - I think it'd have to be a lot more deadly. The Stand level deadly. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 19:42
  - No. Until it effects them personally, there are too many that won’t care regardless because they don’t live in a society. -- nm - Qale Jul 8, 18:36
  - That or if the deaths were spread out more via demographics so more people knew someone who died? Perhaps. -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 17:30 1
    - Yup. If it’s deadly within certain groups only it still wouldn’t matter - see AIDS -- nm - JackDawson Jul 8, 17:47
  - I do wonder about that -- nm - prayformojo Jul 8, 17:20 2
    - at the same time, 130,000 dead is 130,000 dead -- nm - prayformojo Jul 8, 17:21 1

Study of secret supervised injection site shows public health benefits of monitored drug use -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man Jul 8, 16:46 4

  - it took years of fighting in Vancouver to get it opened there, even with all the studies from elsewhere, then constant fighting to keep it open. - mafic Jul 8, 18:56
  - If they wanted to run the study without the chance of it being shut down, yeah. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 8, 18:15

  - I'd smash under on 31 teams - Strongbad Jul 8, 18:37 1
    - KC seems like the worst team to place that bet on. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 8, 19:27
- Meanwhile they get to hold your money for 12 years. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 17:03 5
  - they would also theoretically pay the over at the 2nd victory. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 8, 17:32 3
    - Sure, but you're way better off betting on SB wins straight up each year. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 17:37 2
      - I assume that anyone who's doing this is already doing those anyway. -- nm - zork Jul 8, 17:58
      - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 8, 17:47
  - and that's the best case for those who take the under -- nm - JD Jul 8, 17:11

  - My dry cool wit is wasted on you cretins - ML Jul 8, 17:44
- “Tube based soup delivery is the future” 😂 -- nm - spamlet Jul 8, 17:20 2
  - Nah, little robot tankers. We already have the robots, just put your container under the dispenser and receive a computerized amount. - Meg Jul 8, 17:31 1
    - Also has the benefit of shipping different kinds of soup, without having to flush the tubes. -- nm - Meg Jul 8, 17:33
- Pretty soon he'll be having you pay for your own engagement ring. -- nm - Max Jul 8, 17:00

  - ? Canada has it. I just ordered some soup for a snack -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 16:35 3
    - Yeah, first thing I did when we moved to the new place was hook up to the maple grid. Niche here, so a bit expensive, but come on. -- nm - mafic Jul 8, 17:34
    - Now, if you’d said you get gravy for poutine, I’d almost have believed you. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 8, 16:37 1
