That even ignores the even more egregious fact that she was supposedly Army. How many Army personnel are usually on Navy ships?
There are exceptions of course, and any number of possible explanations. But just that off the bat should make you pause for a second since it’s weird.
In theory. But most states don’t send people elsewhere for bullshit like that. Usually just for things like violent felonies. They don’t want to be seen as possibly protecting a murderer by keeping them from justice.
The two-party consent state laws vary on this. So if you care, you would need to handle both ends of the call giving consent to be sure. This is why companies tell you they are recording even if they’re located in a one-party state, especially if they have a physical presence in that State.
So assuming there’s not an exception… for example, in Michigan there is an exception if you are a participant in a phone call. You just cannot give a third-party permission to record without the other person’s consent. So it’s really a one-party consent state for most things you would care about.
But again… even if we ignore the whole primary purpose here of recording threats… if you live in a one-party state like Arizona, do you really care about Florida if you never go there? And that even assumes Florida cares enough to pursue it in the first place.
Anyone dealing with this administration in ANY capacity need to start recording all of their calls without notice. Recording consent laws are state-level, and most states only require you to know it is being recorded.
Would you rather have proof they threatened you? Or maybe a fine and/or minimal jail, assuming they can even find a jury to convict you for recording threats, AND that there isn’t an exception (several two-party consent States have exceptions that cover things like illegal activity, threats, etc).

One of the real goals of course, alongside helping Israel kick a hornet’s nest they could never do on their own
He made $400B, not Twitter. That’s almost entirely from Tesla and other ventures, not Twitter.
Last I’ve been able to find Twitter was valued at $33B when xAI bought it. But that was clearly an overvalued sale. Just look at the valuation over time.
And that’s just raw valuation which is easily manipulated, not revenue or profit, which can be easily manipulated.
Normies will turn it off and never update again leaving them vulnerable.
That’s the exact reason they stopped letting you disable updates permanently in the first place.
That being said, as it is currently, you already have the option of delaying the restart for multiple days. It only restarts automatically if you repeatedly delay the update for several days and ignore the multiple reminders along the way. And somehow people still complain saying their systems restart “without warning”.
That’s a similar method to the Tesla Model 3 and Y.
The S and X had motorized handles that retracted.
The Cybertruck has no physical handles on the outside. It has a button on the B pillar that activates an electric release to pop the door open.
All of those methods are flush, but only one isn’t visible to rescuers and can completely fail with a lack of power or motor failure with no physical external backup option.
Didn’t China ban flush door handles for safety reasons?
Yeah, but that literally just happened last month and doesn’t take effect until January 2027. It’s not like they did that years ago because they saw it coming.
So… He must have been using shipboard wifi. I can’t imagine they’re allowing private satellite internet solutions, and phone signals aren’t going to cover very far from shore.
Why would they not block things like Strava at the network level?
This isn’t just an OpSec failure by the sailor, but from whatever team handles shipboard communications as a whole.
That’s basically what it has always been once it moved away from the inherent value of the coins. Banks have always been promises, that’s why things like the FDIC were necessary.
Services like Google Maps are already available worldwide with street view level images. And China has plenty of their own roads to handle vision training.
At this point, I think I’d trust China with my data before any US company.
The US companies have already proven to be untrustworthy, willing to actively assist fascism, etc. at the expense of anyone and everything.
At least China isn’t going to give my info to ICE.
That exact issue killed Blackberry, the largest smartphone maker at the time. Even after they built a compatibility layer to run Android apps.
You think anywhere near enough people are going to go out of their way to try something that doesn’t have marketshare already to maintain an entire alternative hardware and software ecosystem? Where can I get wherever awesome shit you’re smoking?
So… If I’m reading it right… As soon as an executive knew the situation, they made efforts to fix the issue. The fact that was required at all is ridiculous, but at least they tried to fix the issue.
Meaning it was the middle management bureaucracy that killed the child. Yet again proving that middle manglement always lives up to their name. I wonder what’s going on with whoever made that initial decision that not only led to the death of an infant, but a $22.5 million lawsuit directly from their ahitty decision.
Erm Bioware is an EA Subsidiary.
Exactly. There is every reason to expect bullshit. They are the most actively anti-consumer publisher in the industry. Even winning awards for being the “Worst Company in America” by the Consumerist in 2012 and 2013, beating out companies like AT&T, Walmart, and Bank of America… and that was immediately after a Mass Effect release. That’s really saying something since Nintendo has no problem suing their players for playing their games in a way they don’t like (any mods).
Also what evidence do you have that the devs are using AI?
Nothing directly since they haven’t released anything about the actual game… But EA is definitely going all in and mandating use by developers, and those devs are having lots of issues with it, obviously.

And they’ve fired developers in favor of AI use…
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ea-cuts-battlefield-studios-jobs-204816718.html
So I’d say the chances of there not being AI used in the game are basically zero. Especially since Bioware isn’t one of the studios that historically has told EA to kick rocks when they want something.
A damage control “video” released years ago saying they’re not done with it, and nothing since. Ubisoft saying, they’re still “working on it” late last year when asked but no new info. And every other major studio on the planet just like them cancelling early completed games left and right recently.
That would require Ubisoft to have learned to temper expectations… Not something they’ve ever been shown to do.
Even if we do get it, it’s likely to be filled with AI slop at this point. And after the issues with Andromeda… That will definitely kill it for a large part of the playerbase.
That definitely felt like a Mass Effect game.
Cautiously optimistic since it seems they’ve abandoned the Mass Effect IP, despite whatever Buoware wants to claim. Planned DLC for the last game being cancelled, in a tiny teaser years ago with no updates, does not bode well.
Very high level of alcoholism, and a lot of darkness due to being so far north and with half the country above the arctic circle. Those are both very strong drivers of depression and suicide rates.
One of the biggest advantages to EVs is that they can can get their power from anywhere. And even if the current power generation is from fossil fuels, as that changes so does the overall carbon “usage” of the vehicles.
The difference is also striking when you just look at energy conversion from the fuel source in the vehicle. That EV is around 85% efficient overall at turning that electricity from the wall to movement. For a gas car, you’re looking at between 12-30% of the energy in the fuel tank being converted.
