The Onion buys conspiracy website Infowars after $1.5b ruling against founder Alex Jones
  • It's real. The Onion won the auction for "Jones’s company’s intellectual property, such as its website, customer lists, inventory and certain social media accounts, and the production equipment" (from The Guardian), and worked with the Sandy Hook families to make the finance for the bid work (I think the families reduced their awarded damages to allow the Onions bid to be viable).

  • School Cancelled?
  • In the offhand chance this is a genuine question, it's because a large number of people in this country are essentially traumatized at the prospect of a pedophile, convicted felon, rapist, fascist in the white house, and schools know that students who are so preoccupied won't be able to learn/pay attention in class, so they give them a break to allow time to focuse on processing the trauma from the election.

  • Cheaper Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Could Hit Market Few Months From Now, But How Much?
  • In contrast to the rest of the commenters, I don't think so. I've got the Z Flip 5, and the battery life isn't great, after a year of use, the hinge is a little looser than I'd like, and the phone is just slightly narrower than the last couple phones I've owned, which means I've somehow not managed to adjust to the keyboard size after a year, and my typing accuracy is awful.

  • RFK Jr. wants federal health data so he can show vaccines are unsafe, Trump transition co-chair says
  • A reasonable skeptic is actually a smart one.

    Yeah maybe. But neither you nor the Brainworm driving the RFK Jr. skinsuit are reasonable skeptical. The Brainworm has decided that vaccines are bad, and is attempting to cherry pick much more data to try to back up his claims. And you are trying to say that behavior is valid and part of the scientific process, which it absolutely the fuck is not.

  • Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again
  • Damn near every other wireless (rechargeable) mouse has the port on the side furthest from you, like where the cord is traditionally connected to the mouse. I've never heard of anyone getting gunk wedged in the port there as a common problem.

  • Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again
  • If there was a valid reason for why they couldn't put the port on the side, maybe I'd agree. But literally the only reason the port is on the bottom is some designer at Apple decided they did not want to see pictures of people's desks with cords on them, so the port got put on the bottom so no one can use the mouse while it charges, and there can never be a pic of their desk with a cord on it. Stupidest reason in the fucking world.

  • ‘Simply outrageous’: Vegan passenger given fruit and nuts on 7,400km flight
  • They don't prepare food on board. Everything served on a plane is premade and assembled, then loaded onboard just before the flight, so it takes up space they don't always have to bring food that there is no guarantee someone will want.

    There are some big name airlines that do provide vegan options, so if this is something that matters to you, I recommend considering it when booking flights.

  • These shipyards never sleep
  • Way too big. That's Drydock 12 at Newport News Shipbuilding, which is some 2173 feet (~660 meters) long. 150 meters should be roughly 1/4 of that drydock, but the ship looks like it takes up closer to 2/3 of the available space, meaning it appears closer to about 400 meters in length.

  • I don't even know where to begin on this one

    There are so many gems in this one, least of which are the bathrooms.
