Judge orders hearing to review Onion’s purchase of Alex Jones’s InfoWars
  • "The Onion was the highest bidder[...]"

    Literally the point of the suit is that The Onion was not the highest bidder. From the article:

    The exact bid amount offered by the Onion for InfoWars remains unknown, but it has been reported it was lower than First United American’s bid of $3.5m.

    The victims of Jones decided it was better to get less money and not allow the brand to go to one of his allies to continue the usual operations. They are saying that even though they effectively own the brand, that they don't have the right to choose who it's sold to.

    There is only one way this should go, but...

  • SITE CHANGED HEADLINE: Harris says she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected
  • No. Some positions have cabinet-level ranks (not press secretary) like chief of staff, but being on the cabinet itself requires being the head of one of the major administrative departments. Pretty much any of them can do significant damage with the wrong person installed.

  • Suggesting for label blacking?

    More in physical privacy space than the usual post. Whenever I get mail, I shred it before disposal. Whenever I get a package, I black out the label.

    But my method for blacking out the labels is basically turning on the gas range and holding the label over it until it turns black. It's not even that good of a method, because I can still see a black-on-black print.

    So, I'm wondering if anyone has any better ideas for this sort of thing.

  • Skin of my teeth on this one, though it's the first time I've played it and maybe the third I've played a wordle-like game. Spammed vowels and consonants for most guesses and started filling in the answers. Top right was a total punt, though.

  • 1990s swimming shoes
  • I absolutely use these, but mostly only when traveling, at which point they are my showering shoes.

    I worry a lot about the possibility of getting foot fungus, so avoid direct contact when in a hotel shower.

  • Want a cocktail to go? Virginia lawmakers say that should be allowed indefinitely
  • TL;DR: The bill applies to direct delivery and DoorDash-like delivery (this is already legal and simply removes or extends sunsetting clauses).

    Author of this article apparently does not know the difference between this and what "to go" implies. Or is looking for rage-clicks. Hope I saved a few.

  • I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video
  • The buy page literally lists videos and music as being part of what you're buying with Prime, and unlimited storage for photos and that twitch sub are also listed benefit if you click the view more button.

    I don't know why that would be considered "free" since they're literally advertising those things.

    How are any of these things "free" if you're paying to get these "free" features?

  • Blocking domain on lemmy?
  • I don't know how willing you are to use a different app, but Sync allows me to block entire instances and it was the first thing I did.

    However, you'll still see their comments on non-blocked instances, so your mileage may vary.

  • “This unique parcel stretches behind six homes”
  • Adverse possession isn't that simple, and laws regarding it vary by state. In this case, it appears to be Washington state, which requires a number of things that indicate an uphill battle for anyone trying.

    Among other requirements, it needs to be uninterrupted (occasional activity doesn't count), exclusive (the true owner doesn't use it) for ten entire years, notorious (impossible to miss if you ever are on the property, we're talking anywhere from fencing it off to building an entire house on it) and hostile (without permission).

    So in reality, if I already owned this, avoiding adverse possession on this property is as easy as visiting it once every 5-8 years and telling them to quit the area if they're trying to elbow their way in (which resets the 10 year clock).

    So yeah, not as much a free land grab as one might think.
